This just showed up in my spam files. Looks incredibly suspicious to me:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enigmabox/enigma-box-vol1-arcanum/description

44 backers, over $6,000 pledged, and not a single comment in the comments section.

Their "press coverage" is also shady as well.

Anyone know who could do some more digging into this one?

You have two more days to take advantage of the GUMSHOE one-2-one bundle:

https://bundleofholding.com/presents/Confidential

Two core books: Cthulhu Confidential written by Robin D. Laws, Chris Spivey, and Ruth Tillman, and Nights Black Agents: Solo Ops by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan, plus many different adventures.

One GM. One Player. Two amazing games.

Also note that the SRD for GUMSHOE is also CC-BY licensed: https://site.pelgranepress.com/index.php/the-gumshoe-system-reference-document/

Can you only get one person to play RPG games with you? Fear not(*), the Cthulhu Confidential Bundle of Holding has you covered:

* Note: OK, maybe you can fear a little.

Had a small thought about using GUMSHOE one-2-one and Fate to create a Fate one-2-one game.

GUMSHOE tends to be more gritty but it might be interesting to have consequences that have discard conditions attached to them. Also wondering how the Fate Point economy works with just one player.

Happy that Chaosium has adopted an OGL-alike license for BRP but the more I think about it the more I wish they would either add more explicit mechanics to their SRD, or change over to using the actual OGL with a separate trademark license.

Question: I have several sections in my RPG book for fiction and back-story for each of the magical schools in Hereva (Pepper&Carrot's world). I'm tempted to add the mechanics (aspects, stunts, etc.) in there, but I'm also tempted to put those in a separate section. Which do you think is better for the reader? I know I tend to gloss over fiction to get to the goodies, so I'm curious of your opinion.

Thank you to @blinks and @olde_fortran for their review of my game "The Minus Touch" in their round-up of their One HP Game Jam:

Looking forward to checking out the rest of the games, especially Hit+Die by @JasonT

The Princess Bride RPG (using Fudge) is really gorgeous. I hope it gets more folks interested in the Fudge system.
