[spacerpunk] wake up in the morning feeling like j-kirk

A mashup of Ke$ha/Tik-Tok and Star Trek TOS? This is spacerpunk.
[spacerpunk] does your scene suck?
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
via ndp and others, an old punk rock PSA: if your scene sucks it’s because you suck.
If the game gets published, I should totally redo this poster to show off the spacerpunk cliques.
Seattle + GPNW + Spacerpunk
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
I had a fabulous time visiting Seattle and GoPlayNorthWest. GPNW is a con run by a great crew, and basically is a model for getting a good con up and running.

I realized that I wanted to avoid having a powerful Imperium kind of organization in space, simply because I didn’t want a supercompetent/superpowerful entity crowding out the kind of [...]
Spacerpunk: with oracle driven content, characters, and resolution
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Made progress on this: spacerpunk, in the form of index cards and oracles.
There’s some quick summary of the world up there, but what I think is interesting is oracle-like resolution of conflicts in the system. Combat have a set of possible results (depending on the kind of combat). Outside of a fight, characters are a [...]
