Hey everyone, I'm Gregg! My co-designer Deric and I created "Limelight," a #ttrpg about a high school music group trying to make it big, while issues of loyalty threaten to tear them apart. Get it at sessiononestudios.itch.io/li…!

.@MickWest Elizondo was on @TheDailyShow last night. While I realize that it is not a real news show, it seems irresponsible for any show (even an entertainment/comedy one) with this large an audience to give these completely unsubstantiated claims a platform. Your thoughts?

Another reminder that it's time to reread Fahrenheit 451
Whenever book banning is discussed, apologists come in to falsely say it's not happening, or it's only happening in grade schools, or it's only aimed at porn. Here's a detailed report from PEN America with actual data on where, why and how it's happening. pen.org/report/banned-in-the…

And yet further work on my original song, “Sinking,” is now up for listening. This is a bit different from my usual hard driving sound. whyp.it/tracks/187555/sinkin…

A few more shots of the @jesusjonesband show last night at @spaceballroom. BTW, Mike Edwards's guitar is a beautiful instrument, but if it isn’t a Fender Tele, who made it? And what's on that headstock label? I was so close, but still couldn't read it! 😆

Fantastic show by @jesusjonesband tonight in Hamden, CT. Never thought that when I first saw "Never Enough" on @MTV's 120 Minutes way back in 1989 that it would take me 35 years to see them. Worth the wait; catch them if you can!

My friend Matt from @CritHitParader put out a new newsletter today. In it he spotlights a new RPG being crowdfunded, We Die Young, which claims to be inspired by Seattle music of the 90s. Is it? (1/5) kickstarter.com/projects/eri…

But from what I can see they didn't do this. It's players as vampires and werewolves fighting supernatural entities. So what we have is D&D mechanics with two themes layered on top: magical monsters and 90s Seattle music. (4/5)

This is clearly fine for most! But for me it's just one more example showing how most RPG players don't want a game that's truly different via its mechanics and play. What they want is the same game (D&D), albeit with a different theme to explore and setting to play in. (5/5)
