Accessible Gaming Quarterly Year 4 Crowdfunding Project

I shall be posting this to each of my five gaming blogs because the cause is worthy and time is of the essence. Jacob Wood of Accessible Games has launched Accessible Gaming Quarterly Year 4, a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter to produce four more issues of Accessible Gaming Quarterly, "a zine about accessibility and inclusion in tabletop RPGs." As it states on the project page, "This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Thu, March 9 2023 11:59 PM EST." AGQ provides a much-needed service in this hobby, and I hope you will join me in lending support.

Of special interest to readers of Creative Reckoning, Jacob Wood is also the designer of several role-playing games based on Fudge including Monster Kart Mayhem, Psi-punk, and Survival of the Able.

Adjectives Are the Key

I still think the best way to promote my favorite form of Fudge — subjective Fudge — is to concentrate on creating interesting adventures and writing up characters, creatures, places, and things using the traditional trait ladder. In a Fudge adventure, that's all you need, and it instantly renders it system neutral for use with any other role-playing game. Don't worry about which injury system is in effect or how much damage a particular weapon causes. That's a decision for the group playing it. Just rate capabilities and levels of difficulty using those familiar adjectives that everyone understands. That way anyone can use it for any flavor of Fudge or any other role-playing game.
