Nice to meet you! I made a roleplaying game called Offworlders. Now I am working on one called Night Tripper. They are both space adventure games. https://www.night-tripper.fun I pour sake for a living. https://www.sakewolf.com/

White men in defense industry-casual clothes play a naval wargame at large scale on a tiled floor with the help of large sticks
Photo of the description of scales in ship combat in The Traveller Book. Notably, three meters equal one light-second.
White on black text: "For most tasks, the default Target is 8. The referee adjusts up or down to the next Target based on the situation." The number 8 in the text is quite large.
A moment from the opening of the top division matches from the first day of the July sumo tournament. Aonishiki enters the dohyo wearing a keshomawashi with a Keith Haring piece on the front. Two yellow figures and the planet Earth on a red
An Atari 2600 game console. Chunky black plastic, metal switches and a faux wood front panel.
Interior of an 80s concept car. Creamy brown leather, chunky buttons and a steering wheel that seems to float, a minimalist circle.
Selfie. A white 38 year old man with unkempt hair, glasses and an almost-beard, wearing gamer headphones with duct tape on them and glasses. Rubbing my chin and doing a pixar smirk.

Stack of Classic Traveller booklets in sleeves
Google maps pin of a restaurant in Portland called “Bistro Elysium”
A gray kitchen counter with four stacks of little game rules booklets for Night Tripper printed at home. My shadow looms.
The meme where a tiny domino gets pushed, and there are dominos that get bigger and bigger until there is a really big domino. By the tiny domino, the text reads "Players attacked by space pirates in your fun adventure game" The big domino says "Now you gotta write new rules about the speed of banking transactions and how much cash people are carrying in an interstellar civilization with unevenly distributed technology"
"I know writers who use subtext..." meme, but it says "I know GMs who prepare and they're all cowards."

Post from Ian Bogost reading: “Sorry for posting, but, Nintendo games—on the rare occasions when Nintendo, a video-game company, deigns to make them—seem almost satirically infantile, as if the entire Nintendo project has now moved well beyond mere nostalgia into elaborate, pathological psychological regression.”
Black and white comic panel from Judge Dredd. A map of the united states with the two coasts covered in cross-hatching suggesting cities, labelled "Mega-City One" on the east coast and "Mega City Two" on the west coast. The empty space between is labelled "THE CURSED EARTH" A dotted line shows the progress of a vehicle from east to west. A text box reads "But at that moment, Judge Dredd's amazing journey across the cursed earth -- with the vital vaccine -- was almost over. His Land-Raider was approaching Death Valley...""
A 15mm game miniature standing next to a black six sided die. The mini is only slightly taller. It is a person in a long trench coat holding out a pistol. It’s painted black on the bottom with blue highlights, and purple on top with orange highlights
six wargaming miniatures. three mechs and three bases with four tiny infantry on each. The mech on the left has one big, gross, organic-looking arm. The one in the middle is basically a pile of guns on four legs. The one on the right is a stack of three cube-shaped missile pods with a metallic bronze face on the middle one. The stack is running forward on skinny legs. The miniatures are predominantly red.
A page from the rulebook for LASERBURN featuring a drawing of a cool spaceship and the outline of a skirmish scenario in which the antagonist is an organ smuggler sitting on a fortune of “black-market genetalia”
Photo of Bryan Ansell from 1980-something, He looks awesome as hell. He has a cutoff tee shirt showing his biceps. He has a mullet. He has a sick mustache. He is sitting behind his warhammer army. Text reads "RIP Bryan Charles Ansell. 11th October 1955 - 30th December 2023. Mighty, Dark-winged, avenging lord of chaos, Bryan Ansell, with his Mighty Avenging Chaos Army."
Mockup of a grayscale zine cover. The title is "Galgalim Cluster" labelled NT-S01 byt Wolf Leisure Simulations. The center of the cover is dominated by a 5 by 5 hex map showing different worlds and their characteristics on a star-textured background.

Excerpt from Classic Traveller Adventure 01, The Kinunir. It reads: Using This Adventure The referee should begin this adventure with the entrance of players at one of three worlds: Jenghe (0210 - C799663 - 9), or Regina (0310 - A788899 - A), or Efate (0105 - A646210 - D). They may provide themselves with weapons and equipment available (subject to law and tech levels). From that point, the players are concerned with staying alive and furthering their own ends. The actual adventure should then follow automatically. If they have difficulty in establishing a direction, they should be presented with a rumor from the rumors section.

The cover of D&D IMMORTALS, a supplement for super high level campaigns from the 80s I think? A beige box with an illustration in the middle. A shredded dude with long hair wearing nothing but a white loin cloth flies through the sky, manifesting some sort of blue energy weapon from his extended left hand. A red dragon chills on a cliff in the middle distance. A city of white spires and a sky full of alien planets in the background.
