19th century art resources

Over two hundred posters from the Golden Age of Graphic Design, available for free download. The Chat Noir poster hangs on the wall to my left as I type this.

Casting The Runes

Casting The Runes is a GUMSHOE game inspired by M. R. James, now on Kickstarter. In a previous century I wrote a one-page piece on James as gaming inspiration for The Last Province, so this is a subject of interest to me.

You don't have to use force!

A Star Wars game without Jedi? A radical notion, following the recent video games. (And reminding me of Dark Forces II suddenly making Kyle Katarn, of all people, a Jedi Knight.)

Dracula (2020)

Best approached in the spirit of the Hammer sequels, perhaps.

I knew that Dracula from the creators of Sherlock was going to be wacky in some way, but...

Happy New Year!

Yes, here we are.

I know at least one GM (hi Matthew!) planning to run Cyberpunk 2020 at cons this year.
