There’s an old joke that there are more planes at the bottom of the ocean than there are submarines in the sky and something tells me that’s going to hold true when we start dealing with deep space in Aliens & Asteroids as well. And tales of ghost ships, well those are a staple of…
Crazy news! We finally started a Moebius Adventures podcast! And for the time being we will be using it to share the madcap antics of our Tattered Magicks playtest group! You can find it here at Anchor.fm: The Loop from Moebius Adventures Episodes are available at Anchor.fm, Spotify, Breaker, Google Podcasts, and RadioPublic and it…
This month’s blog carnival from Enderra: Worldbuilding and Role-playing Games has really kicked a lot of things loose in my brain, so I thought I would share another entry for the February Carnival on the topic of Legends & Lore… Instead of a lost research station, this time it’s a cautionary tale about using too…
Enderra: Worldbuilding and Role-playing Games kicked off the February RPG Blog Carnival with a great topic: Legends & Lore.

It’s been a while, but I wanted to just offer a quick “state of the universe” kind of address about the current state of Aliens & Asteroids. It’s been a busy few months! My goal for A&A in 2019 was to release six products. We came very close and released five products in the last…
Sometimes the RPG Blog Carnival presents an opportunity I can’t pass up.
