Musing and articles from Peter Amthor. Usually of a role playing game influence but I do drift into other directions occasionally. You can also find me on BlueSky at peteramthor.bsky.social. Comments and constructive criticism welcome.
Time to point out another well done blog post done by somebody else. Check out this write up on demands from sentient weapons over on 'I Cast Light'. Follow THIS LINK to give it a read if you will. I thought it was really good.
An old setting from Dream Pod 9 called "Tribe 8" is getting it's reboot finally. This time using the Forged in the Dark ruleset and being renamed to "Tribes in the Dark". This setting getting another shot is long overdue and I hope it does well on the market. You can back the Kickstarter right now to help bring this new edition to life.
It's also nice to see somebody that I know online who has been working on this for a few years finally seeing all their work come to fruition. When I mean years, the playtest version went live on Drivethru back in late 2021. So it's been a long road for this one. I wish the all the luck in the world and I hope this goes really well for them!

While digging through an old external looking for issue four of the old ezine "Inner Voice" that I used to do I found something else. A very incomplete beginnings of issue six. Not much there it was all in Word format and just had three articles put in so far. Plus placeholders for stuff. So I switched it over in pdf format as it was and put it up on the shop portion of my Ko-Fi page. It's free for anyone who drops me a bit of support over there. Along with all the other previous issues (except issue four which I seem to have lost forever) and a few other things like my old FreeForm rules I was once working on.
Really thinking of trying to start Inner Voice back up again. But I don't know if I really want to. If I do it will simple layout via Libra Office and put straight into pdf. Nothing fancy at all. The first few issues would probably just be a collection of various stuff I have up on my blog.
If I do this I will, of course, make a blog post about it.
