I don't intend to, no! All of my other games have had lots of Community Copies and wound up in several charity bundles, but HARDCASE is all about cold, hard cash.

The current 50%-off sale runs for a few more weeks, though!

What, what a compliment! I'm so glad your group's having fun - and the sheet's lovely, too!

If you'll indulge my curiosity: Are they still loyal agents, or have they gone rogue yet? Have you brought in anything from the other two 199X games?

The shortcut you learn doesn't have to be between the two close-by places your 1d6 roll was about. It's about building up your HC's overall familiarity with Basement's layout in ways that can help them in the future!

We just hit 2.0, in case you missed it! 

Just pushed an updated PDF that fixes that Salvage error, thank you!

Great question! You might want to meet up to acquire product from a few of the more entrepreneurial Online personalities, or maybe you think they'd make a good Subcontractor. Some of them have faction connections that could come in handy, or they might be the ones holding your Debt, acting as an employer for unique jobs.

If Basement burns up, I hope your HC can find a way out! Maybe they could start over on one of the other habitats - or you could always just reset everything with a new HC.

I can talk to my layout designer about a black-on-white version, but it might be a little bit <3

The final page of the book has some guidance, and I played out a few days as my own HC in this Twitter thread!

It's right there in 2.0 for you <3

Tremendous work on the layout and the modular/unlockable content. Not only is this game a ton of fun, its good ideas will inspire many more!

Your Criminal and Ranger here are my favorite third-party classes for Mothership! Really elegantly done.

Glad you're so excited! There's no plans for a physical copy of HARDCASE yet, but at least you'll have 2.0 in your hands (so to speak) later this month?

Three campaigns in and SftD has lost none of its luster for me. Thank you for something so amazing!

wahoo, an update!

Works now! No clue what that was, sorry for the hassle <3

Your artist credit link is dead.

Wonderful work! This is really solid CfB stuff, your playbook moves are great (a few Watcher's Gifts are a bit long for easy legibility... but they're still delightful abilities!), and these Curses nail a cartoon mystery vibe. Well done!!

I love the Brindlewood influence here, and how willing you are to take FitD design out of Blades' shadow! This rocks <3

One small question: Doom isn't defined in this, so I'm a little unclear what it is other than a Trauma-equivalent. Any tips?

tremendous work on the playbook and Tamesas both! i'm excited to read these Threats soon <3

Correct! Because AI makes or breaks a purchase for me - and many other people besides. Hiding something to make sales is a bad strategy.

(Also: I very much would ask you to credit any artist or layout person you worked with! That's a very standard practice.)

Might be worth having that somewhere people can see before they buy the book.

Cool stuff! Who did the cover art?

Hey, these are great! Really handy for a one-shot I ran, thank you <3

I'll also always recommend running into Cultists of them out in the world!

Any chance of an update on this? We're gonna be hitting Spring 2024 pretty soon, and the page still says spring 2022...

that sounds awesome!

Small typo, but Appendix N is a d6 table of 8 items! 

Can't wait for the KS <3

I love the Downtime actions, and the visuals make this one of the most handsome bestiaries I've ever flipped through. Killer work!

Excited to dig into this! I'm curious, though - why is this one 14XX and not 1400?

i'm not a dude - but i'm glad you like it!

in case you haven't seen, there's three other releases in the Golden Isles, if you want more of what we're doing <3

I'm of the opinion that Firebrands is one of the most perfect RPGs ever written. Thank you so much for it <3

Probably the pinnacle of 24XX design, IMO. Really stupendous stuff!

Glad to hear it's not AI!

who did the art?

A lovely look at the year - and nothing but banger recommendations. Excited for the 2024 Meaties <3

Noctis Labyrinth was one of the first things to crack an anti-OSR bias I'd spent years building up, and the work it does with implied setting - trusting tables to fill in a lot of blanks as makes sense to them - was a revelation. I *adore* this game!

...and if you ever want to revisit this Mars-gone-Weird, you know I'm the first in line <3

Are those HEART-style "climactic abilities that will destroy you" I see? *Hell* yes!

An update! What's new?

merry Madvent!
