Self-insert is a Blades illustration tradition. ๐
(although, sometimes people think I was the model for some pieces when I wasn't... ๐คท)
It's so horribly stupid, odds are it's an AI generated article.
This is the last. fucking. straw. The shambling corpse of the so-called NYT is finally dead and buried.
And fucking Blood Meridian of all things! The hubris!! These idiots got in the ring with Muhammad Ali like they had any chance at all. Shame. SHAME.
Check out our latest interview with @olddog.games about Blades '68 and how Tim approaches wearing many different artistic hats while designing a game.

The rules and rulesets you create don't have to answer to people who don't choose to use them. They have to answer to the people who do choose to use them.
I chatted with Matt & Rob of @dmofnone.bsky.social about Ride or Die, the Fast & Furious movies, classical heroes, and refusing to acknowledge physics when they get in the way of fun. Check out the podcast here: dmofnone.libsyn.com/393-ride-or-...
I think I see a light gem... ;)
I had not! Thanks. :)
hell yeah ๐ค๐ฅ
We played it! And had a great time. :) I should check the Forge archive and see if I posted about it.
OMG you made Final Stand. ๐
wow... love his stuff!
This art is sick! Who did it?
3. As if Blades '68 doesn't have enough touchstones already, I wrote a design diary about four "meta touchstones".

These are less aesthetic touchstones and more creative guides for my own process. Two books, a TV show, and an ad campaign.
This week on Dice Exploder I've got @olddog.games on talking Blades '68, Dungeon World, and "draw maps leave blanks". How much should you define about your game in advance - as a player, as a GM, as a designer? Tim's smart!
I talked with @olddog.games about the fever dream that brought us to Blades '68 (from @evilhat.bsky.social). How do you take a setting and shift it 100 years into an entirely new era with new touchstones? Find out on Tabletop Talk (on all podcatchers) and here: open.spotify.com/episode/4dkd...
This is a real example from D&D Next (pre 5e playtest) but in 5e they made it +1 hp per level, I think. No one would ever claim that "dwarves are tougher" in the world of D&D.
"The legendary toughness of the Dwarves grants your character +2 hp at first level."
We were delighted to get @olddog.games back on the podcast to talk about his new riff on @johnharper.bsky.social BitD, Blades '68 @evilhat.bsky.social
A bright retro future awaits you in this psychedelic crime caper of an update for Blades in the Dark.
