Reading Sula and was struck by the cover painting. Found out that the artist, Thomas Blackshear, has had his art on stamps, videogames, and album covers.

From 1903 to 1907 Augustus Jansson produced more than 30 striking adverts for the Queen City Printing Ink Company, including the wonderful Ink Beasts Parade series, with its “Magenta Ponies” and “Orange-Yellow Ibexiaticus”. More here: https://t.co/pX4sSxOuhp

Well of Shiuan is like, "What if the Elric books were good?"

This is literally why we started RTFM, the RPG book club podcast, 2+ years ago.

If people want to talk about their RPG canon or chat RPGs in general, we have a Discord populated by a lot of smart people (and also me).

when i was 16 i went through a phase where I decided I had to read a bunch of "classic" novels just to say I had read them. The Prince, Catch 22, Slaughterhouse 5, etc.

Starting to think I should do that with RPGs, I haven't even read Apocalypse World for christssake

Today on RTFM, the RPG book club podcast, @maxwellander and I talk Vice & Violence by Rapscallion. It's a horny RPG that's good at being horny and also good at being a game.

This episode is brought to you by Cloud Empress: Life & Death. Back it now on Kickstarter!

Just finished the Fallout TV show. Who wants to play?

a simple rules system

character options representing both abilities and equipment

tools and tables for creating factions and filling a map

a sample setting and campaign set in Minneapolis

a playlist of royalty-free oldie mp3s

The passing of absolute legend Trina Robbins just hit me in the chest like a punch when I learned it this morning.

She was such a force, an exceptional human being, witty, quick-witted, brilliant and talented, always crusading for women’s rights in and out of the industry.

I met her and worked with her only a few times, but each time she was an absolute delight and her exceptionality just poured from her. We will miss you a lot Trina.

All my condolences to her family and friends.
