Oh, the instant rewind is certainly a step too far. I'm not dead set against Galactic Racer's implementation; just wary of it.

I'm also quite tempted by Galactic Racer, though the campaign thing makes me less certain; I've never really gotten along with roguelikes.

Ooh, cool - will check it out, thanks!

Publish!
We fulfilled our little kickstarter! Embers of Humanity is now out. It feels pretty great to have actually made a thing.

Congrats!

Modiphius have had a big warehouse clearance sale on Dune: Adventures in the Imperium (among other things), where I picked up £275 worth of stuff for £40 (plus shipping), so I've been reading that. I like the universe, and it's got an interesting mix of personal (Agent) gameplay with House-level (Architect) shenanigans, though combat - specifically duelling - is a bit of a confusing slog. I think I can steal enough bits of Dishonored 2D20 to make it work for me, though.

I'll need to re-familiarise myself with Alien in the next month or so, since I've been volunteered to run a one-shot around Hallowe'en. Most of the group have already played Hope's Last Day, and the other adventures I have are mostly too long to fit in a single session, but there was a one-shot stretch goal as part of the Evolved Edition Kickstarter, so I'll look into that. Alternatively, I could try to write something, but I'm not sure I'll have the time.

I'm getting real fed up of Princes of the Apocalypse. It's a great group, but the module is a complete slog, and I'm not really enjoying it at all. We did just finally scrape our way to level 6, so hopefully it'll be a bit less of a meat grinder from here…

The One Ring: The Company are heading south, finally responding to an invitation they received some time ago to meet a nice Wizard at Isengard - though they're planning to stop off at a remote Dwarf-hall and a cursed forest on the way, because of course they are. It'll give me an opportunity to drop more temptations to explore Moria, though, and maybe even trigger another Bout of Madness for at least one character!

My occasional Vaesen group continue to almost immediately identify the correct suspect in every Mystery. I'm going to have to start accelerating the countdowns in order to make things more difficult.

I think I still have a few months left on a 1-year game card I redeemed a little while back…
