Good morning everyone! This week my #TTRPG group for which I usually GM #RuneQuest is going on a short hiatus: one of the players will GM a few sessions of #Pendragon for us! I’m pretty excited! Have some good fluffy boy pictures for the occasion!
The Stochastic Game
Ramblings of General Geekery
“Crowdfunding Oct 15: Ars Magica Definitive Edition”: I’m not that I like this trend of rulebooks getting bigger and bigger with each edition, but hey, it’s Ars Magica, and they know how to speak to me: there’s gonna be a poster map of Mythic Europe!
Ephemeral Tic-Tac-Toe: a Tic-Tac-Toe game where your past moves disappear after 4 rounds, and those squares are available again… a very interesting twist!
For the 20th anniversary of the venerable #TTRPG that is GURPS, Steve Jackson Games are running a sale, which includes -20% off hundreds of GURPS titles. Ends August 29th. Go grab something!

“Radiohead ‘Leaked’ Their Own Track in 2009, Now We’re Accused of Pirating It”: it’s a sad state of affairs when you have to rely on Google to defend your rights.
“James Gunn’s Approach to VFX Speaks Volumes”: yep… the VFX industry has been a shit-show for many years (even worse, I’ve been told, than the video-game industry). I’m hoping unionization continues. A majority of jobs in the movie industry are unionized anyway.
A live-action movie of Garth Ennis’ “Crossed”? A few years ago I would have said “no way”, but after having seen “Preacher” and “The Boys” adapted successfully and without too much “editing”, I mean, sure, fuck yeah?
