REPULSION ROUNDS: NC eggheads noticed a key inefficiency: sometimes their bullets didn’t kill people. To ensure soldiers don’t waste company time on suboptimal, nonlethal weapons fire, scientists shoved nanorepulsion gel into NC standard-issue ammo. These repulsion rounds tear the target’s nanobonds from the inside out.

manray meme where he's holding up an ID labeled telesur and granma saying "this is "state media." patrick replies "yup." manray replies "and you believe that being funded and run by the state biases their output" and patrick replies "yup" and manray points to the new york times, washington post, and wall street journal, saying "so media is biased in the interest of those who fund and operate it" and patrick says "that makes sense to me" and manray says "then private media is biased towards the class interests of rich bourgeoisie shareholders" to which patrick replies "democracy dies in darkness."

Give the gift of Indie TTRPG’s with anything from Indie Press Revolution. But if we had to pick ONE thing we love most, it’s Jess Levine’s I Have The High Ground, a rules-light and GMless game centered around using the inherent tension and passion of fencing to tell stories. This edition comes with custom dice, tokens for tracking movement, and a great burlap sack to keep it all together (which is kind of becoming an Indie TTRPG trademark).
