We're in the final 15% of funding for NOVA 2!

If you love mechs and hate the sun, this one is for you.

The butt monkey of the universe.

They were all* genre-savvy, but in different directions which was at least an interesting take. And that was like twenty-five years ago, so it still felt fresh. *Not Warrior.

Putting a "genre-savvy" character into genre fiction is only acceptable if every other character gets to immediately hit them with a brick.

YESSS!

Looks like pointcrawls are back on the menu, boys!

Still my favorite leveling scheme for OSR games. The fact that everyone isn't doing this is wild.

I stayed up late last night reading the playtest doc for Dead Net from @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social and @navidrake.bsky.social. I'd have done it earlier but I hadn't realised it existed.

It's pretty raw text but also complete enough you can see the game and test it out if you are minded to do so.

Trying to cross-train into picture-person just so that I can properly play in the Borg-pit. It's going about as well as you'd expect.

Merry orbit, Ethan. You've got the right idea on birthdays; the world will take a mile the moment you give it an inch. Thanks for your work. Glad to share a spaceship with you.

For a start...

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:29 AM

I'd fuckin' kill for a Blackwall. The only AI I'm down for is a hunter/killer AI, just straight up Dexter-ing other AI.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 2:24 AM

I just wanted a little more punk-rock, you know? Like, even the AI is Melvin as fuck.

Build soulless automation to experience the richness of freedom and creativity. Use the finite, numinous wonder-monkey life to scrape and claw a miserable profit from the tragedy mines... Hmm. Feels like a misalignment.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 4, 2026, 12:19 AM

Too real. Dead Net is built on the assumption that these dweebs eventually all see their towers crumble, and we get to sift some gold from their ashes.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 11:56 PM

Their goal is to build a server with enough AI agents to clear Icecrown Citadel on Heroic. Why? Fuck you. That's why. Now earn money to afford your AI's WoW subscription.

You know what you can't out-Alpha? Skin cancer. Throw this parasol on your shoulder and give it a jaunty little twirl as you promenade.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 11:29 PM

This future bites.

@acoupleofdrakes.bsky.socialOct 3, 2026, 11:28 PM

Oh good. AI can make your art and music and video games and then experience them for you. Can't wait for the AI that drinks my whiskey and eats bowls of pasta and fucks my wife for me.

I'll just be over here doing the dishes and associated drudgery, shall I?

You know what? Good for them.
