My PJ Lifestyle piece on introducing guns in your RPG is up.
Found here. Short version? …Comments traffic gold, baby. Comments traffic gold. Which was not the reason why I wrote the article, but people do love to discuss how and when to introduce firearms into your fantasy RPG campaign.
Bundle of Holding: The Laundry, redux.
Reader of mine passed this along: Bundle of Holding is doing the Laundry RPG offer, again. This is the “British civil service dealing with the Mythos” RPG that’s based off of Charlie Stross’s horror/fantasy series; and the only reason why I haven’t gotten it is because these days I order the physical books directly from the publisher.

Yeah, I’m gonna back the Red Markets Kickstarter.
I’m still not thrilled by the way it got pitched, but I’ve been told by a bunch of people whose opinion I wouldn’t dismiss lightly that Red Markets is a legit tight zombie RPG and that it’s gonna be awesome. So, what the heck. Last hurrah of the monthly Patreon money before it starts getting auto-assigned to the household budget anyway.
So check it, as they say, out. Zombie apocalypse meets the free market RPG, for those who are curious.
