This week’s blog is going to be short, because I’ve been busy this week. I posted a partial draft of the rules (mostly just the players/rules section) to the playtest group during the last week of January, and a couple of people have run some games using that draft. My goal was to get the…
I know bitching about political correctness is popular these days (mostly with comedians whose relevance is quickly fading, as far as I can tell), but the PC movement is totally correct in the assertion that what we call things matters. The go-to modern example is the estate tax, which is basically an inheritance tax on…
Before I get into the blog, the whore-like nature of my existence obligates me to mention that my newest ebook, 20 Movies You Probably Haven’t Seen Reviewed By Some Guy You Don’t Know is now available for just 99 cents at the Kindle store. My reviews of Dark Dungeons and the D&D movie may be…

Last night I set up a Cinemechanix Playtest Group on Facebook. A couple of groups from Patreon are already playtesting (or about to start) using the current (incomplete) draft of the rules, but the plan is to start official playtesting in about a month. We’ll probably post big updates elsewhere and I’ll answer questions or respond…
For those of you who follow my non-gaming stuff, I just added a store section to the Brainfart Press website. I’ve only got the print version of Obscure Early Bluesmen (Who Never Existed) in stock right now, so you can mostly just get PDFs, but I’ll be getting print books in sooner or later (and…
My new book, So You’ve Decided To Run A Role-Playing Game, is on sale now. The PDF is available from Hex through the usual channels. Print and Kindle editions are available through Amazon. You should buy copies for all your friends and probably some strangers, too. Last week, I talked about some of the specific…
You’ve probably already figured out that I took a break from blogging last week because of the holidays. I was tempted to use the same excuse this week, but decided to start the new year off on the right foot and finally get around to the Cinemechanix posts I hinted at a few months ago…
Just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone happy holidays, thank you for the support this year, and let you know what’s coming up: The GMing ebook has gone through one round of editing, but I’m hoping for one more before I release it. I finished the experience chapter of Cinemechanix a few days…
Since people seemed to like last week’s blog about writing adventures for publication (and since I’m still trying to figure out the best way to approach the more in-depth discussion of Cinemechanix), I’m going to follow up with a blog about actually submitting the game. I haven’t actually done very much submitting (nearly everything I…
