The thing about G+

Patrick asked if about people’s feelings on G+ being gone. He doesn't miss it . I do. It took me a few weeks to bring myself to delete the app (and inbox) from my phone, and I still tryto click where it used to be out of force of habit. But what about it do I miss? Patrick’s points about it having been on a major downturn for quite a while are very much on the nose, so why even miss it? 1. It’s core idea was excellent. The root of google plus itself was excellent. The wall is a wonderful way for me to find and consume content. It was simultaneously a good way to share visual and text based content. The wall pushed my dopamine buttons because there was this mild “hunting and finding” element to it, that didn’t descend into the tumblr/Pinterest wall madness. Circles were exceptional. I didn’t use them to post to (almost always posting publicly because I always wanted strangers to be able to find and reference my stuff if they ...

Not sure how to begin a campaign?

Here's one way to start a Swordfish Islands campaign Your past does not matter. About a year ago you got black bagged and thrown in a cell. A dark cell. They said you deserved it. There was a list of allegations. You could recognize the voices of people you knew testifying against you, or at least you thought you could through the hunger and the dark. It wasn't right.

They beat you harder. But they gave you equipment. They beat you 'till your bruises bled, but only if you did not o...

A Kickstarter

Hello, Swordfish Islands is far from dead, but blogging has definitely taken a back seat. Like all bloggers who have fallen off, I've got a plan to return, but we'll see if I can swing it for real! Though we haven't been blogging, we've been releasing content as regularly as we can (both ours and others) over on the Swordfish Islands Shop . Our most recent release is Dirk Leichty's amazing Super Blood Harvest . It's a trio of adventures with their own rules lite system. Everything was written and illustrated by Dirk, and it's amazing. In the first adventure, vampires from the dark side of the moon have scooped you up from Earth in their Bloodship. In the second adventure, the Bloodship has crashed on the Moon and you can ransack the vampire's various temples and locations. In the third adventure, you take the fight to Mars and go up against the last remains of the Vampire Imperium as one of the last free humans on Mars. Sowordfish Islands ...
