James T. Hook<p>As I have been researching things for my Knights of the Road supplement or whatever it is going to be, I have come across Hobo Glyphs from our real world history.

A•Reyes<p>3. First RPG bought this year</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/IntoTheOdd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IntoTheOdd</span></a>. I had bee looking forward to reading it for a while, and it is pretty good! I get why it spun a lot of hacks around it. I added it to our options for campaign 2, it wasn't selected but I'll probably play it at some point</p>

Jerod Leupold<p>As part of my year long exploration of rpg design and mechanics I'm playing Into the Odd today!</p><p>Light on text but the book itself is gorgeous. The mechanics are straightforward if sparse. I think the damage system feels pretty slick. However, from what I understand it is all about the adventure rather than the rules. It's going to take a second to remember 1s are good, 20s are bad!</p><p>So!
