Some thoughts about hope:
"Last week, Senyar, a cyclone, formed in the Straits of Malacca. This never happens in the Strait of Malacca, you understand? Ours are relatively halcyon waters, protected from monsoons, tsunamis.
Not any more, I guess."

It’s been on my mind for two days now, so I think I need to type up my response to The OSR Onion.
First, it’s a very good article that illustrates what I think a lot of people find appealing about OSR design, so please read it in good faith. (1/16)

The OSR Onion
The OSR may be best understood as a layered approach to design centered around a specific way of writing, refereeing, and playing adventures.

I love the @rascal.news announcements
It's pure gift to the community
Lots of folks also fail to use it well
Sure, you can tell people to buy/back/get your game
It's better when you talk about what makes your game special

"Players reported dreaming about Over/Under, losing sleep, even forgetting to eat."
@lincodega.com writes about the intensity of Mothership Month's hyperbaric roleplay experience and the bleed that resulted from a lack of conventional safety tools.

Thirty Days of Bleed
Within a high-pressure, nonstop roleplaying game, denizens of Over/Under found it difficult to extricate their character’s emotions from their own.

I'm very proud of my good friend @barilleon.com. Leon and I came up semi-parallel to each other, and it's been a joy to watch their career and craft blossom and evolve. They're one of the best designers I know and one of my favorite humans.
Fall of Blackbottom is an excellent way into Draw Steel.

@juniper-c.bsky.social learned about the OSR while playing #over/under and has somehow managed to already learn enough about it to hold correct opinions on what OSR stands for.
@explorersdesign.bsky.social is it too early to submit posts for the Bloggies?

I highly recommend "Classic Explorer Template" by @explorersdesign.bsky.social
This grid saved my sanity. It would take me forever to layout all of this myself
Also, did you know that "Islands of Weirdhope" used this template as well? Pretty neat

Just piggybacking off @chasecarter.bsky.social 's excellent piece on themed crowdfunding months - if any designers or creators have any thoughts about this, particularly the close proximity of themed months and Topias next year on Backerkit, please hit me up! [email protected]
Rascal News@rascal.news
Themed crowdfunding months provide creative ways to bring together associated tabletop creators and raise consistent money. But as the trend spreads, the calendar is beginning to feel mighty crowded.
