#TTRPG #CharacterCreationChallenge2026 #ColdCity

It's 1950. The Cold War has just begun in earnest. The Allied powers of America, the UK, France, the nascent Germany, and the USSR are stomping out the evils of Nazi science in Berlin. Join me, won't you?

20 years ago I wrote a soundtrack to an indie film that sorta fell on its face and never went anywhere after the premiere because of some falling out between the producers.

It is funny how excited I was to "break into film scoring" after moving to LA and then that happened.

The music is still some of my favorite personal stuff, so I released it all myself:

Blog - some quick thoughts on the return of #HotWar and #ColdCity.

Two of my favourite #ttrpgs are returning via @HandiworkGames and I'm really looking forward to them. They bookend the #coldwar between Berlin post war and London after the war goes hot and the apocalypse happens in an #althistory #horror world written by @contestedground

I am readying myself to run #ColdCity for my group again. Last time we did it we played it straight by the rules and it didn't feel right. I wasn't sure how to adjucate difficulty dice in challenges that were not conflicts. Also it was volatile - in most rolls these special agents got 1 success (which means barely) and on the other hand Wehrwolf they were fighting had four successes rolling five against seven dice.

I wasn't sure (and still am) how should wounding work. 1/3
