Conpulsion 2026 quiz
Conpulsion quiz went alright, I think. Of the six teams actually trying, the lowest still got 31 of 66. (The team anti-trying got 1m to their chagrin.)
Questions below, apart from the audio round. (So 54 points available!) Answers soonish.

Modern pirates part two
Thinking about freeports as TTRPG settings now has me thinking of a modern Trinity Continuum series fully leaning into the charming pirate tone.

Modern pirates and vampirates
Talk about hub ports as settings for Vampire games now has me thinking about a game set in a freeport.
Probably influenced by the charming rogue Ravnos smuggler featured in my current V5 game Stolen.
He was a background character in a previous game but became more prominent in this one as the plan was to focus on crime, more than actually happened, hence the title.
And Ravnos should be the pirates clan, not Lasombra.
Hmm.
