HERE is the long-awaited overview of Starship Combat in Star Trek adventures. We build on several previous videos and cover the whole of the action economy at the various stations.

"Consent in Gaming" is a minimal, free, derivative PDF from Monte Cook Games that puts forth a new 'safety tool' for RPGs. It makes no differentiation between Convention Games and Home games. It sends the reader off to other Safety tools rather than offer hard answers about what happens to the continuity of the story once someone objects. With that said, its heart is in the right place, however short its perspective may be on the world of tabletop RPGs. This is an extended critique of its problematic approach to the question of 'difficult topics' at the table. I recommend you read it before getting too excited or angry about it. It is available free here, https://www.montecookgames.com/consent-in-gaming/ and as it is free ($0) you can probably find a copy of it in a lot of places.

These ideas have a starting point, which largely begins with the theorycraft that began with the Finch Primer. since 2009, many more folks have gotten rose-tinted vision looking at their RPG experiences of Old. What if the question "what is OSR?" had different answers? ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4Jda_Jcm1g
