The TTS for Mugs of Madness is officially up-to-date!
Whew. I spent 3/4 of the day fighting with my laptop which apparently decided that wifi didn't exist anymore :shake:. Once I was able to figure out that the wifi adapter had disabled itself- it was an easy fix and I could finally push through the updates.
Oh computers...
Anyway, that means that the PNP, Rulebook, and TTS are all fully up-to-date and I'm ready for the Great Playtesting Race!
Happy Sunday and happy play(test)ing!

Review: Pirate Borg Starter Set:: Ring Side Report: RPG Review of PIRATE BORG Starter Set
Posted: Sun, 06 Sep 21:56:38
Product- PIRATE BORG Starter Set
System- PIRATE BORG
Producer- Free League
Price- $19.99 here https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/555993/pirate-borg-star...
TL; DR- My favorite intro box. 99%
Basics: Welcome to the Dark Caribbean! This box set has a ton of stuff and enough to help you get playing quickly. Check out our unboxing video here: https://youtu.be/FgXEPdMvink . Let's dig into this game and box set.
Mechanics or Crunch: How much crunch do you need? This box set has a small rulebook and enough tokens, player sheets, and maps to get you playing in all of 10 minutes. This ruleset is d20+ a number between -3 and +6 to hit a 12. That's most of the actions. The rules explain that well and get you building characters in about 10 minutes. I love the Borg mechanics and simplicity. And this box set teaches that well and quickly. 5/5
Theme or Fluff- I love all the stuff in the story here, but I the story has a small plot hole. The basics of the story are: you are hired to find a thing, get marooned, find half the map, learn the rest is in a British anti-pirate port, and then go find the thing. It's fun and teaches the basic rules well, but I think the link to the British is a bit light. That said, I love what's here. Sure, its a bit of a knockoff of Pirates of the Caribbean, but I DON'T CARE! It's just fun, especially when you mix in the fact that there is magic dead guy drugs that can make you a god running around. 4.9/5
Execution: I do love me some intro boxes, and honestly I think this might be my favorite. Why? Sure, this, like any other good intro box, has dice, maps, tokens, a small intro book, character sheets, and an adventure, but it's also got DRY ERASE MARKERS! You build a character in about 10 minutes, and they can die fast. This gives you dry erase markers and laminated character sheets. That right there in this kind of game is a godsend. 5/5
Summary: You want some crazy Pirate fun in the Caribbean? Here you go. The system is fast, fun, and low rules. The story is good. And the box itself is my ABSOLUTE favorite. And the physical box is about 40 bucks. The PDFs are a solid value at 20 bucks too. This is something you need to get and have fun with. 99%

Stone Age Era added to the Cthulhu Eternal Character Creator
Posted: Sun, 06 Sep 06:52:23
Posted: Sun, 06 Sep 06:52:23
Very excited to announce that I have added Stone Age as an Era to the Character Creator.
This Era was especially Tricky as it comes with lifestyle choices
And a lot of special rules for Resources and bonds based on
- Lifestyle
- Archetype
- Outcast
All the Archetypes are added as well
And of course it got it's own font on the Character Sheet
It was really fun to implement this even if it look a lot of time.
I hope I got it all correct, otherwise please let me know!
Bug] Fix[/size
There was a pretty embarrassing bug fix where your community bond score was calculated based on your resources half rounded down. When the rules clearly say it should be rounded up.
But that is fixed now.
What's Next?
I got some quality of life improvements that I want to add.
I am considering adding the other games that Cthulhu Reborn has published, at least the quick starts as they are under OGL.
I have a big fun feature in mind but i'll keep that till myself until it's done.
Is that something you'd enjoy? Let me know?
Got feedback, or found a bug, please comment or send me a message.
All Hail Barbatos!
