*grabby hands*

After almost two months of renovations, travel, illness, and more, I’m going to try to re-commit to the gym today. Wish me luck.

Excited for Blades 68? Enjoy a teaser of some of the custom content I’m working on.

I feel this new edition is going to be what the kids call “sick”

NEW: Blades '68 advances the timeline and the technology of Doskvol one hundred years into the future. Subversive spy games, daring heists, and paranormal mindbenders all await you in this official expansion for Blades in the Dark. From @olddog.games @evilhat.bsky.social

The collection of stretch goal material for Blades '68 grew so large that it has exploded from the Palace Dossier into THE BLUE FILES. It's almost 60 pieces, from an amazing array of contributors.

14 hours and under $1k to reach the More Money for Artists stretch goal. Will it happen? Let’s find out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

Back when I started Explorers, I probably had a readership of about 50 people a month. This post is from then. It's a list of common mistakes disguised as theory. If your readers are getting confused, these laws might explain why. www.explorersdesign.com/gestalt-laws/

The Doskvol of Blades 68 has to have comedy clubs, right?

Well this blog post was nominated for a @critawards.bsky.social... so that is freaking rad graftbound.com/2026/01/20/g...

This rule? In the RPG Zephyr? Owns

I started work on a playbook the day the full pdf was released and was initially intimidated by the new material. Recognizing that use of overlap gave me a lot of confidence, the realization that I didn't create something wholly unique. and now I'm having a lot of fun.

Blades 68 playbooks hue to the source material in basic structure. The scope is narrowed to focus more defined archetypes but they do an excellent job of encouraging cross-playbook versatile advances. Clever ability overlap and the use of playbook specific bonuses make their utility obvious.

Designing playbooks for Blades and its spinoffs is always so fun. The official sheets from each book have conventions that you can mimic or subvert. A mix of broad permissions and conservative rules-based bonuses. And a few options thoroughly bend the core rules.

Allow me to offer a few UNDENIABLE examples from each side of this spectrum SOUL Prince Bowie Bruce Lee Earth Wind and Fire Daniel Craig’s Bond MOJO The Monkeys Power Puff Girls Spice Girls Captain Kirk Sean Connery’s Bond Undercover Brother is clearly an unholy fusion of two disparate forces.

Sorry to hear of your health troubles but I’m relieved to hear you have friends and loved ones taking care of you.

Hypothesis: Austin Powers has Mojo but he does not possess much in the way of Soul. It thereby follows that possessing Mojo is detrimental to one’s capacity for Soul and vice-versa. What say you?

Reading through the Blades 68 pdf and these playbooks are great! More tightly directed than the original playbooks but that feels right given the setting. Coming up with new playbooks for this edition will be a fun challenge!

Backers got their PDFs for Blades '68 yesterday, which means I can finally post the next installment of my Blades in the Dark blog post series: a deep dive into B68's lore! Let's learn about how this groovy new age connects to the older canon... injectorseat.wordpress.com/2026/07/14/p...

So many amazing runs this year at Summer Games Done Quick and they end it with one of the most amazing Kaizo showcases I’ve ever seen and an astoundingly deep Clair Obscur speedrun! Congrats to them and to Doctors Without Borders for reaching 2.4 million.
