Chris Spivey (Author)Today’s #BooksAndBrews is really more of a #BoardGamesAndBrews. 🍻🎲 Broke out a stack of my Munchkin stuff and started flipping through them again, still such chaotic fun.
What’s your favorite Munchkin and why? Or have you never played one?
Reading Dennis’s Unnatural Engine ruleset this morning and I’m once again struck by his design sense. It’s clean, crisp, and concise, everything exactly where it needs to be. 📚🎲
Definitely need to get this one to the table soon. #BooksandBrews
This morning’s #BooksandBrews: Makers & Shakers: A Hidden History of Black Americans in Booze. ☕🥃
It was a gift I’m excited to dive into, maybe it sparks a new scenario, or maybe it’s just the joy of reading something I love.
Thank you, Jill!
Doing some very enjoyable “research” reading with Shadows Linger on this beautiful Saturday. 📚⚔️ Should be wrapping it up and moving into The White Rose next.
Sometimes you just have to pause and say… I love my job. #BooksandBrews #GrimDark
This morning’s #BooksandBrews read, The Monsters We Defy by Leslye Penelope. 📚✨
I started it a while back and I’m really looking forward to diving back in.
This morning’s #BooksAndBrews is me slipping back into the right headspace for #DeadCityBlues. ☕🕵️♂️ I’m rereading The Continental Op by Dashiell Hammett and letting that hardboiled rhythm do its work.
Trying a few new things with the game, and I’m really liking how it’s shaping up. #HarlemUnbounding
This morning’s #BooksAndBrews hour is all about reacquainting myself with #CthulhuConfidential mechanics so I can run a it for a Patreon backer later this month. ☕🕵️♂️ Before rereading my own scenario, luckily, I’ve been deep in a noir headspace lately, so the vibes are already doing some of the work.
This morning’s #BooksandBrews is more #BlackCompany & I’m having a great time with it. I’m gearing up to run #ArcDream 's The Black Company RPG playtest for my group next month. I’ve got a strong feeling they’re going to love it, though I’ll admit I might be a tad biased. ☕📚 #GameDevelopment #TTRPG
Been grinding away at the day job & taking a #BooksAndBrews hour with a holiday biscotti, a coffee, & my new Western Writers Magazine. ☕🍪📖 Doing some reading to shift my brain into Haunted West mode before this afternoon’s writing sprint. Anyone else have a ritual to get into their creative zone? 🤠✍️
This morning’s hour of #BooksAndBrews is still devoted to figuring out the family TTRPG, which means a deep dive into Werewolf: The Apocalypse. ☕🐺 They’re looking for something modern (or near-modern), investigative, action-forward, with magic, supernatural, or superpowers, and this one checks a lot of those boxes. This is #2 of my 5 finalists so far. Am I overthinking it? Almost certainly. But that’s half the fun, right? 🎲😄
