I will never understand that dedication to “it’s a like a mouse, but you use a controller!” menu UI. They are so dedicated to it, and it is so shitty.
The grey-out tabs of inscrutable stats will continue until morale improves!
This week on The Coffin Club: part one of Mr. JOLS, Truth and Consequences. Thank you so much to @hebanongames.bsky.social for putting the 2e beta out there, it's been a hell of a campaign and we have had a blast with it! Today, the dreams. Next time, the nightmare.

One month to playtest Phase 2: Soldiers & Sorcery. Create your own Black Company veteran, flaws and all. Especially flaws. ("The Itch: You can’t pass up carousing, gambling, or whoring unless you take 1 Stress.") theblackcompanyrpg.com/the-black-co...
Raven is a wonderful subversion of fantasy tropes because he demonstrates categorically that being in proximity to a player character would SUCK.
Yet, he’s still REALLY COOL when he speeds past, ruining every life in his wake.
A sorceress gestures idly while sipping from a mug. Flying tankards and cookware terrorize the barmaid and customers. The sorceress has earned a Stress reduction.
In The Black Company RPG, it's crucial to find ways to get rid of the Stress that comes with facing impossible dangers.
The next playtest phase starts Monday with a new scenario. This phase covers character creation and magic.

New One Shot Episode! It's been out for four years, and there's still no game quite like Fae's Anatomy by @hebanongames.bsky.social . Fantasy doctors curing fantasy diseases with the power of science, logic, and romance!
Welcome to Billy Pilgrim’s Unstuck in Time Radio Hour…or maybe longer or shorter, who knows? Perhaps all songs are played simultaneously in a 4-dimensional cube of sound in which all notes are eternally heard but resolve into a chord only God can hear? Sponsored by Drury University.
Who's ready for Round 2 with @hebanongames.bsky.social and @thenerdyape.bsky.social?

Actual Play Entertainment gave Red Markets 2nd Edition the red carpet treatment in their playtest. It's crazy to hear my game with backing tracks and professional production! The crew were fantastic players, and they really made the mechanics shine.

Over 2025, Dead Channels produced 44+hours of actual plays and panel audio, plus 200 pages of new DG writing.
Not counting conversion/editing work I did on Tyne's "The New Age," Glancy's "Holy War," and other upcoming republications.
And not counting everything I've done on Red Markets 2E.

Feel better, Gus
No idea. Sorry. I’m out of the loop on print runs and distribution.
I get to play in a game of Fae's Anatomy tonight with twitch.tv/analog_amber!
We're streaming for @projecthopeorg.bsky.social @ 6pm CST. We're close to the goal; here's hoping my silly melodramatic medical mystery takes us over the top. Stop by and support a good cause!
It's so easy. You pay for a subscription. We infest your ears with @hebanongames.bsky.social running a Delta Green game about Y'golonac and Gla'aki as written by @adamscottglancy.bsky.social. Win/win/win/impalement/win. www.delta-green.com/dc-dro/
Newest episode of my alpha playtest for RED MARKETS 2nd Edition is out at patreon.com/hgod.
Feedback for the open beta is due DEC 31 2025! I'll begin revisions immediately next year, using the year's worth of playtest notes. The more the merrier!

It begins: THE BLACK COMPANY RPG playtest launches today. Enlist now. theblackcompanyrpg.com
I'm running the official Discord for the game!
Guess that makes me the Company "memelist" or "moderator" or whatever. I don't know the rank's name, actually; the last guy melted after a flying carpet dropped magic acid on him.
Wait, am I an officer now? I wasn't properly onboarded....
Psst. #TheBlackCompanyRPG ... the playtest opens December 1.

If I wrapped dead fish in that rag, I’d be afraid it was going to turn the daily catch racist and transphobic.
Remember the Glass plagiarism scandal? They were (rightfully) yelling at that guy for, essentially, cheating on his homework.
Meanwhile, the same editorial board was shooting emails warning Epstein about investigations and claiming every Iraqi had WMDs.
Paper of record! The Grey Lady!
I wish someone could write a book about how cover ups organized between The New York Times, Epstein, and every foreign intelligence agency with a checkbook led us to the genocidal fascism running the US today.
But NYT seems pretty good at keeping real journos outside. Guess we’ll never know!
