Three things about me:
- I am an old #ttrpg player who chose "commie storygamer" over "grognard". My favorite games are #CortexPrime, #FitD, and #Fate.
- I have a sporadically updated blog: aggregatecognizance.com
- I am the lead designer working on a new version of the #Tribe8rpg using FitD.

Progress on getting Tribes in the Dark ready to go to crowdfunding has been slow, but we had a meeting today about how to get it moving again. Hopefully soon we'll have an update to share. #TTRPG #Tribe8RPG

I was surprised that the Primed by Cortex podcast wanted to hear me ramble about #CortexPrime and #Tribe8RPG, but I appreciated them taking the time to talk to me. #TTRPG

The name of the NPC who caused a bunch of trouble in my #Tribe8RPG #TribesInTheDark campaign is named Cinder, so I've called the situation The Cinderelemma. #TTRPG

This is the current state of the Decuma-generated relationship map for our #Tribe8RPG #TribesInTheDark #TTRPG. The drawing is the Cell's home base, by one of the players — literally a demolished pirate swing ride with part of the ride's sign that says "Irate". The Irate is the name of the Cell.

This is how the relationship map for our #Tribe8RPG game is shaping up. We have one little dangler out there who we're going to try to create some more drama around with this next round of Decuma draws.

Cleaned up some notes for a Keeper subfaction and GMCs that were pretty central to one of my early #Tribe8RPG games. Thinking of resurrecting them for a #TribesInTheDark game I'm starting.

We finished up Decuma for #Tribe8RPG #TribesInTheDark and the result was I think one of the strongest starts to a Tribe 8 game I've ever had.

Basically, the PC Cell was involved in a situation where the flame on top of Veruka the Wraith's tower was extinguished. /1

It never fails to make me wonder what the thought process was in making the Herites so one dimensional and just not bright in Children of Lilith. I always wind up fixing this. #Tribe8RPG #TTRPG
