Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>So the tentative name for this supernatural university <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> I'm noodling on is Generation Hex. I know there's already a comic book out there with a similar name, don't care. I'm thinking of tying it into another game I want to do, called Trenchcoats and Thaumaturgy.</p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>Neon Angels, my Bubblegum Crisis-inspired <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> build, at roughly 23k words (and it's some very rough text), is almost in a playable state. I have a few things to work out still, plus mocking out some play sheets.</p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>I'm going a different direction for this <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a> build than I normally would. It's not totally crunchy with lists of weapons and cyberware and stuff, but does have movement, range, etc. Of course the movement is zones, but that's still more involved than I usually prefer.</p>

Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>I've moved on to what might be my favorite part of Neon Angels — vehicles and mecha.

Kamala Kara A 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️<p>Due to Direwolf Digital's bullshit decision to not honor the KS obligations, the creators who worked on The Spotlights get nothing. They were only promised royalties with the creator studio, which is never coming out. And the profit sharing for the phsyical books won't happen. Just fuck your most engaged fans, <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a>, I'm sure that will work out in the wash.</p>
Rivetgeek (He/Him)<p>I broke through a bit of a wall in working on my Bubblegum Crisis inspired Cortex game, and it feels like things are really coming together. This is going to be pretty awesome I think. </p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>

I don't think I'll want to lug five pounds of dice around. I have some Fate dice, metal BitD dice, blood splatter d6s in case I play Eat the Reich, Avatar Legends dice because I like them.</p><p>And enough of an assortment of other polyhedrals because...<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/CortexPrime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CortexPrime</span></a>.</p><p> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/TTRPG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TTRPG</span></a></p>

A discussion on the #CortexPrime #TTRPG Discord has brought up that there's a lot of tribal knowledge that isn't widespread.

You may not know if you have the print handbook is that the code for the PDF is on the front cover. You do need an account on cortexrpg.com to access it.
