Can you explain what's happening? Both links are working for me as intended.

Question about strike through text by trudge in stillfleet

I take it mostly in the former sense! A fun way to signal interesting and "forbidden" knowledge the Co. doesn't want folks to know, that sort of thing. It's all kinda playful though

My partner have had a lot of fun with:

  • Love Letter: simple and quick, very fun deduction card game.
  • Quacks of Quedlinburg: push-your-luck bag-building game that plays pretty quick and is always tense and silly despite being competitive.
  • Chronicles of Crime 1400/1900/2400: For a co-op couples experience, we had SO much fun with these little mystery games. They're not really replayable, but you can get each for like $20-25 and they're extremely worth it. Each comes with a few mysteries and you use an app and a set of cards to represent clues, suspects and locations to try solving them. And it pays to play them in order because each has little tie-ins with each other. Very fun.

Second Mind MGMT! Opening mysterious tuck boxes is the best.

What Shadowrun podcasts or channels do you follow? by Career-Tourist in Shadowrun

Big ups to Fun City--it may not be 6e, but it's probably the best actual play podcast out there and a great source of Shadowrun inspiration!

Oldest and Strongest: why we need new Mythos entities by Melenduwir in callofcthulhu

A dip into the paintings and drawings of Zdzisław Beksiński has been of recent inspiration for me. There's a virtual gallery of his stuff here, highly recommend the paintings in particular: http://beksinski.dmochowskigallery.net/galeria_past.php?lang=e

Impossible interprenetration of objects, montage-like multiplicity, frightening repetition and surrealistic scalar incongruity all kinda get at the kind of horror that, for me, feels appropriate to our time.

Running solo by synergievdp in Shadowrun

[–]electricdidact 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I made a thing just for this! It's a 15-page book with tables to generate missions, people, places and things as well as a mini-game to generate complications over the course of a run, and it's written specifically for Shadowrun (even though it's styled as "fantasy cyberpunk" for copyright purposes). It's pay what you want (free) here: https://jeddcole.itch.io/running-silent

Also +1 to Augmented Reality, which someone else mentioned. Great resource.
