Don't wanna pester folks too much, but I've been homeless for the last year and we're currently fundraising to get me over to somewhere I'll have safe housing and can finally start living a better life.

Millie was a foundational element of fostering the community in #over/under and it should come with no surprise that the person behind her is even better at it. Maya's been in a rough spot for far too long, and still has been spending most of that time looking out for others. If you can, please help

Juniper has taken the RPG blogging scene by storm, and this is another great piece. All I can say is go read it and go pick up Glass Men, not necessarily in that order.

excited to get stuck in and test Pixel and Paper! I prefer to write in markdown, so this could be a game changer for me.

I’ll forever be thinking about O/U and all the brilliant things that game did for me and my place in the hobby, and all the strange things it did *to me*.

Cant wait to read every word Lin writes about it, and you should read too.

Cairn 2e: Trad Fantasy Ancestries — MEATCASTLE GAMEWARE I’m spinning up a monthly TTRPG night at my day job. For several players, it’s going to be their first roleplaying experience, but most of them are coming into it with DnD pop culture familiarity and ...

A new player is entering the fray this week for my office Cairn campaign which means I've added another new ancestry bonus over on the blog - THE MANCAT: meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/1/...

great players make GMs better, and that's never been more true in my experience than the Cloud Empress session we played yesterday.

(no shade on Troika, which I enjoy a lot)

19.01.2026 14:06 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

absolutely agree, though where I'd say CE has an edge over Troika is that watt's reworking of the stress+panic rules from Mothership are more harmonious with the "violence is scary/awful, and a hard choice not a default behaviour" principle. It's such a good game.

absolutely stunning - Cloud Empress has one of the strongest and most refreshing aesthetics I've ever seen in RPGs. Great game to play too!

Your take is on the money! In retrospect, I wish I had made it more clear that Cairn as-written is how I play, and that my post was a thought-experiment responding to people I'd spoken to on Discord who said their groups wanted some D&D-like advancement and D&D-ish backgrounds. Some lessons learned!

it's gone quiet for now, but I believe Darrington/CR have sponsored a whole bunch of pretty big non-CR actual play shows to run Daggerheart seasons soon and they're likely to go into a regular supplement release schedule in the coming year or so.
