After a couple posts, my Libra game's on the road with a group of new-to-the-OSR players (which is fun, given my normal playerbase of obsessives from the various Discord...

My upcoming Libra game is built in the same way as my prior modern urban sandboxes. These games have usually included a patron - a mostly-neutral contact of the PCs who hands...

My sprouting in-person group voted for Libra as our next game, so it's gone from "something to think about" to "an immediately upcoming deadline". As such, here are the game's...
