Some time ago, I read a story about a GM running a pre-written #TTRPG adventure. This GM decided to tweak the adventure as written, by gender swapping every NPC. His (exclusively male) players found it odd that they only met one man. As the game went on, they became increasingly paranoid that the women were doing something to the men.

Helloo! Calling all lovely people who like #sff#books with lashings of mystery and detection. We've just been given some reviewer #audiobook codes for our novel, OverLondon and would love to share them with anyone with a hankering to listen, (hopefully) snort-laugh and leave a review.
OverLondon has pirate detectives. It's got rogue artificers! It's got a big explosive crime. It's got an angry badger! It's got an alternate version of London formed by the Vengeful Queen Anne Boleyn! It's got a world so vivid we regularly run #ttrpg#dnd and pathfinder campaigns based on it. It radiates awesomeness like the power of a supernova that's showing off for its grandparents!
It's narrated by Brendan McDonald who did C.K. McDonnell's amazing Stranger Times audiobooks, which roosted like Smaug on his gold pile at no 1 in the Audible charts for 3 entire days last month. (A near impossible feat!)
It's been likened to what would happen if Spike Milligan and Terry Pratchett ever wrote a book!
If the thought of listening to an amazing voice actor at the height of his game sounds like your cup of tea, just message me or reply, and we'll get you sorted with a code.
Surprise! Scientific Research Finds Assumptions About Ancient Gender Roles Are BS
"...women regularly hunted in 79% of documented researched hunter-gatherer societies. Also, most of those societies specifically trained their female members to become hunters."
What is your justice system like in your fantasy world? Do sheriffs patrol your lands? Do knights take care of the crime? Does an inquistion or religious group? If there is a famous (or infamous) group or person taking care of justice, tell us about them!
Hi everyone, as I'm closing in on the finish of the 4th booklet in this series, I thought I'd post a quick reminder about them:
The Hard SF Worldbuilding Cookbooks:
Find and inspire unique prompts. Choose the location. Write the story. Have the science for it, as needed.
Inspiration, then #worldbuilding.
TW: SPIDERS! A visually descriptive narration of tomb raiding gone wrong when would-be thieves got more than they ever bargained for. Comforted by what appeared to be an abandoned tomb, they looted all they could find. Alas, their revelry and resounding cries of triumph were little more than a dinner bell. The darkness came forth with fangs and claws. Celebration quickly soured into a frantic panic-induced frenzy as they fought for their lives. One poor soul almost escaped, but alas, he was no match for the venom of the Widowbane spider.
