Why Does One Venture Into the Waste?
One of the new games I’m running with my local is a post-apocalyptic actioner that has the working titles Warlords of the Wastes. First: yes, I am aware it needs a better title. But beyond that, I am running it … Continue reading

Mission Creep, Mission Crawl
Last post, I shared with you my offers for the two groups that will continue the Riggers playtest. There were two games left on the floor: Mission Creep, Mission Crawl and the Vanguard. Which makes me sad, because I was … Continue reading
Edge of Inspiration: Rigging for Running

Damage and Stress – Blowing Up Your Mind
My group and I have had a lot of discussions recently about the abstraction used for Stress/Damage in my new game, Dream Riggers. It’s led to a few long emails to explain my intention and thoughts, and it’s something I’ve never … Continue reading
Dream Riggers Are Go
First run of Dream Riggers went okay. On the story side, I did the silly thing of trying to begin a game with a social encounter. For me, that never works. Every single one-shot I’ve written for Nefertiti Overdrive starts … Continue reading
Dream Riggers
The new game I’m working on has the working title of Riggers, more specifically – for the playtest – Dream Riggers. The system came first and exists to test out a mechanic that interests me. If it works out, the game … Continue reading
League of Extraordinary Misfits
If you’ve been around here long enough, You’ve probably read about the game with the working title A Team of Pulp Losers. Well, that game is no more, and rising from the ashes is . . . League of Extraordinary … Continue reading
