The Stochastic Game

Old school GURPS! I love those character sheets.

I received this RPG oddity recently. It’s possible only old French comics readers know what this is…

Ok it might be time to once again write some Delta Green scenario! It’s been years since I did that though!

Woot! It’s an all-Askinosie selection for this month’s Origins Chocolate Bar subscription box! Wonderful!

I think someone should make a #ttrpg review blog/channel that reviews books based on their smell…

Home made peach-melba lunch while reading some new book arrivals…

Watched Rogue One yesterday (with the kids!) and that last scene with Darth Vader? It still fucking rules, and is still the best fucking Darth Vader scene in the entire movie franchise.

Me after every single #TTRPG session: “OK, I’ve got ONE WEEK to come up with explanations for all the shit I badly improvised during yesterday’s session. Also, what was the name of that important NPC I invented?”

Speaking of Steve Jackson Games, the Girl Genius RPG preview PDF is out! http://www.warehouse23.com

Congrats to Steve Jackson Games on reaching a hundred GURPS titles available as print-on-demand! The print quality is, well, POD quality, but that still beats “out-of-print”. http://www.sjgames.com/

The Harn “Kingdom of Melderyn” hardcover Kickstarter is live! https://www.kickstarter.com/

Haha I love this thing: “Nestflix”, a fake Netflix for movies that only exist inside other movies: https://nestflix.fun

The blood moon rises again! Wait no, fuck, that’s the sun

Operating Systems timeline and family tree… 830 OSes so far. Wow. https://eylenburg.github.io/

“Canadians want a wealth tax and are willing to vote for it”. Nice to see this sentiment growing… https://www.nationalobserver.com/

Here’s an interesting report of a half-trans-Canadian trip using an electric car. https://www.tbray.org/

Huh, kind of a sad start for a series I really enjoy https://www.cracked.com/

If you haven’t tried Affinity’s product line yet as an alternative to Adobe Creative Suite, now’s the time! They have announced dramatic performance improvements across the board! https://affinity.serif.com/

I have zero illusion that Apple’s “child safety” features will be used with non-CSAM image banks and lower thresholds in several countries eventually. But we will likely know about it only years after it starts happening.

Ooof… that’s very sad for Firefox, even though it’s become WAY better in the past couple years than it had been in the previous 10. Please use Firefox! https://gizmodo.com/

Y: The Last Man trailer! Looking good so far! https://www.youtube.com/

Once more it’s time for a rhubarb pie!

That’s interesting… Vancouver Car-Free Day is turning into Car-Free Month. https://www.vancouverisawesome.com/

Seems like a great way to support LetsEncrypt (which I use for all my websites): donate and AgileBits matches your donation! https://blog.1password.com/

We are almost done binge-watching the MCU movies with the 12yo, and after Infinity War I told him I would give him the full experience by waiting one year before showing Endgame…. He… was not amused 😝
