A GM play tester posted this on the Discord, and I’m very excited by this feedback. I think it’s a great testimonial to share, and also a confirmation of our overall approach. Making the game system-flexible was a priority, so I’m really glad to hear that it works in actual use that way....
I work for a large biotech manufacturer doing field work. I – and thousands of other field engineers – are assigned company cars, which are all ICEs....
In one encounter, the players are attacked by a squad of mysterious masked shock troops of some kind. Here is the cyberpunky look I gave them, along with distinct face plates meant to give the characters a way to easily distinguish and describe them....
This article describes the little-reported on success that Brown University had in disbanding student protest… by conceding to let activists present a case for divestment at an upcoming hearing before the university’s investment board....
I commented on a post about the book “The Lost Cause”, then followed up to mention that our game’s setting is built on a similar vision to author Cory Doctorow’s in that book. I communicated that we hope our game appeals to a similar audience. And Cory Doctorow saw this, and shared it with his followers!...

I was just standing around in my building’s garage while my kid practiced riding a bike (with training wheels) and my mind wandered to what it would be like to learn if you could do it fully in virtual reality....
One of the other devs asked about the description of the “Independent States of America” in the following passage. They asked if allowing for a southern succession was offensive or inappropriate. How does this read to others?...
I love seeing this. I’m not quite ready to by this particular bike, but I’m definitely going to share the info with my husband and see what he thinks. This could suit our needs in the next year or two.
We’re editing down the manual, and I’m sharing some backstory to the world that didn’t make the cut in the manual. This is the kind of silly microfiction that players are encouraged to write and share. This particular piece I wrote because I was trying to imagine where gorillas would live in the US, and why, and how....
Hey! Our game tries to integrate into its vision of the future an assumption of the restoration of Indigenous culture and agency on Turtle Island. As we’re getting ready to release, we’d really appreciate getting more eyes on it and letting us know how it reads and if there are any changes we can make to improve its quality....
