    Step into a galaxy under occupation where heroism is punished and survival is a way of life.

    A decade after Order 66, the Empire has had time to settle in. Not just with armies, but with laws, checkpoints, informants, and fear. Systems are occupied “for their safety.” Industry is nationalized. Dissidents vanish. Whole worlds are taxed into oblivion, and those in power prosper.

    Shipping lanes are plagued by patrols.
    Bureaucrats seize cargo with a signature.
    People can disappear into the system.
    And what power you believed you had over your own life is gone…
    unless you learn how to move quietly.

    This is an 18+ story-first roleplaying game. Write the stories you want—action, intrigue, romance, slice-of-life, and long arcs—built on consent, collaboration, and respect.

  • Conversations and questions about current, upcoming, and advertised games and the hobby as a whole.

    Outright payment is probably a bit too volatile. Scheduling and whatnot would make it problematic, I think.

    That said, I wouldn’t be opposed to games supporting themselves through some ad revenue through banner ads or whatever. It’s only going to keep getting more expensive to buy the machines you need to play, the storage space, the servers to run them on, etc.

    I’ve considered a tip jar in the past, but I think that has a lot of the same problems. But some kind of mostly-passive income stream like other sites use? Probably not a terrible idea.

    @Gashlycrumb Also, chances are most of the people you (general not specific) have a problem with have a similar opinion of you so 1) Why would they care? 2) Why would they be surprised? People are allowed to avoid games because of Staff (whether your own issue or in support of someone else) so it seems hypocritical to not allow Staff the same option especially when they’re the one putting in the effort to run the game.

    Because this is topical for me today with the final part of Wind and Truth coming out (yay, finally, I can start it!) …

    Cannot possibly recommend the company Graphic Audio enough as an audiobook experience. It was my gateway drug back into reading after an embarrassingly long stretch of fractured attention span. Their tagline is ‘A Movie in Your Mind’, which it pretty well succeeds at. They make everything a full Radio Play experience, with sound effects and music and a sprawling cast of voice actors for each book.

    The only downside is that they do tend to retain the same voice talent, so if you bounce around between some series, you’ll be like, “Hey wait, why’s Wit here? Oh, no, he’s not. Just the same voice.”

    Either way, cannot recommend it highly enough. The actors really swing for the fences, and when it lands, it lands so well.

    Been painting a lot of minis since Feb of last year. Got done with this one recently and thought I would share as these are dark times and I hope all of you are hanging in there.

    Also hope folks have been enjoying RP! I find my brain not wanting to write as much these days. I should change that some time soon.
