In mind bending finale, our investigators scramble to find a way home before they are consumed by the abhorrent place in which they find themselves. Will they find an answer or become permanent denizens of this twisted, alternate dimension?

Somehow missed the chatter across the past few months that we were getting a new edition of #Runequest. Exciting stuff actually.
It being a bit crunchier than the rest of the #Chaosium's games has kind of caused me to focus on #CallOfCthulhu while I introduce BRP to my gaming group.
Kind of excited to get a new streamlined edition. I will click with it more. They will click with that more; I think. #ttrpg #NotDnD #BasicRoleplaying
Our investigators now find themselves slightly off the map, so to speak, and must make heads or tails of the situation. This may prove difficult as things, including thier minds, quickly begin to unravel...

My preliminary checklist for things to see at #ukge2025 , mainly based on the programme:
* visit #Chaosium for their 50th anniversary
* look for that Elder Scrolls board game
* see options of season 3 of #FinalGirl
* of course, visit the people of @mcg
Oh dear Chaosium. As a dedicated RQ GM, Age of Vikings was an immediate preorder for me. I've been away for a week from my home in Shetland, and returned to find the book waiting. Quickly flipped to the section on Scotland (because of course I would) and what's all this "the Shetlands" and "the Orkneys" nonsense?
No one says that. Except maybe tourists. Who are quickly corrected. I learnt that before I moved here. It's "Shetland" and "Orkney", not "the <plurals>". Ruined.

QuestWorlds: Who wants a generic game?
Generic RPGs are designed to accomplish a goal that many say they want. The ability to write anything, make any genre fit together, and theoretically never have to learn another system again all sound great. The reality usually ends up being something different, though. The entire reasoning behind generic RPGs even being possible has forever been couched in very narrow assumptions about what an RPG actually is. Once you expand those assumptions a little bit, a generic game starts to look impossible. QuestWorlds, originally called Hero Wars (and HeroQuest in between those two), is a game that came out of a post-TSR, pre-Forge era of the early 2000s much like the first edition of Fate. Both of these games have the same essential objective: build out a set of mechanics that can take any character on one side, any challenge on the other, and adjudicate that character standing up to that challenge regardless of the specifics. Add in some balancing rules for character creation and advancement, and you’ve got a game that’s ready for anything. Kind of. Both QuestWorlds and Fate make very similar disclaimers about only working with genres with capable and proactive heroes prevailing over larger-than-life challenges. The disempowerment of horror doesn’t really work, nor do the continuous drags of hunger, thirst, or wound management found in survival games. These generic games, and many generic games, quickly reveal themselves to be “roughly the way we think people play RPGs” games.

I just saw that #Chaosium have just announced the re-release of #Credo, to mark the 1700th anniversary of the Council of #Nicea (which took place on 20 May 325).
I haven't heard of this game before. The blurb says it's a "board game simulation of the council, in which the players represent different factions of the early #Christian faith, seeking to ensure their beliefs are accepted into the Creed, the universally agreed statement of faith".
Anyone played it? Any good?
New Scenario Next Week!
A group of hip, paranormal investigators find themselves amongst other cool cats and daddios with similar interests at a poetry slam night. This commune of artists has its share of weirdos, but there is always that one kook that takes things just a little bit too far and harshes the vibe...

New Episode!
In the chilling finale, our research team comes face to face with the horror plaguing the station. Do they have what it takes to subdue it once more or does the usefulness of a higher education end at cosmic monstrosities?
