    Leaving My Job Leaving the Country Embracing Constraints in the Hobby (and elsewhere) A Break in Posts Is Likely Slightly New Design/Flow in My Posts Working Out a "New" Oracle It has now been over three months since the last Fourth Wall Break and a great time for a new one. There are some big changes in my life and various impacts it will have on me and the hobby (and this blog). While the Fourth Wall Breaks tend to avoid getting too personal , I think the stuff going down is big enough and the impact wide enough that it's worth swapping up some rules. Leaving My Job I have been working at my current job since January/March-ish 2009. Sixteen years. Today [May 27, 2025] was my last day. The reason why will be really obvious with the next section of this blog so I'll get to that but I wanted to say a few words before getting into the why. I know not every one is lucky enough to have a career that fits thei...

← Previous Arc Session |[ ↑ Arc/Campaign Page ]| Next Arc Session → The New Outgunned Book Is Now on Backerkit The current The GLOW 1996: Psychic Eustace Delmont  is based on Two Little Mice's Outgunned  RPG. Combining the base game with the first Action Flicks ' "Neon Noir" and "With Great Powers" flicks, it plays a bit loose with rules here or there but the system as written is amazing at playing these larger than life type characters and moments.  In what is a pleasant coincidence, the next "chapter" in the Outgunned  series - Outgunned Superheroes  - is now crowdfunding on Backerkit . Besides the new game, there will be a third Action Flicks , a new Mission Dossier, and a variety of bits and bobs (including a new dice set).  For those that have missed any of the previous stuff, it is pretty much all there. There's a pretty massive €449 "Mightiest Hero" tier that is essentially "get it all in one click." And a few...

We are either at the final "real" location or at the penultimate one. Partially, I am unsure. When this campaign started, I was thinking that it might be nice to have the Rescue Amy Patel moment kind of early. Then Dave Akari, Magnus Odinson, Juan Uno, and the Moonblink showed up. There were Fractal Apocalypses, Heretics, and Shaolin Dragons. Eustace went from being a decent psychic to a scarred Witch Kin...
