Holy carp, this is huge. A sub-brand with its own identity. Like how DC Comics produces Superman and Wonder Woman, but also has the Vertigo imprint for Sandman and Y: The Last Man.

Not a new game, but there was a cool murder mystery scenario for Mothership (probably quite usable for Alien or Traveller too) called Picket Line Tango, set in the midst of a labor strike on a mining base. Also there is a bear! https://anodyne-printware.itch.io/picket-line-tango

Meguey Baker is a treasure and the cancer bundle is perfect for supporting her. It also includes Little Fears, Night Witches, a Delta Green adventure collection, and her newer travelling faerie circus game, Under Hollow Hill! Really worth a look.

I remember the old Twilight: 2000 game had special rules to affect character morale in combat if they were being charged by a vehicle...except bicycles of course :)

Thank you to all the columnists for their good work!

Wow, killer guest again!

Alice is Missing: For when your group only wants to look at their phones all session long. Lancer Battlegroup: What if every time you lost HP, you had to write condolence letters to all their families? 3:16: Where you play out the backstory of the Horus Heresy.

Well, Linda Codega, the acclaimed newcomer journalist who gave us our in-depth look into Hasbro's OGL scandal, has been laid off together with 22 others at G/O Media. Gizmodo and The Onion were also affected, and longrunning women's news site Jezebel was shut down altogether. G/O has been...

Ghostbusters was great. There's a retroclone by Ewen Cluney called Spooktacular that captures its spirit.
