Last week I did a thread about how in Band-Aids & Bullet Holes you can change the whole genre of the game from John Wick to Constantine by giving someone the calling card "the fairy king's true name". I got a bunch of contributors to write new card packs like this, and I wanna show them off!

@johnharper.bsky.social's doing a list of vehicles - I pitched him on this after seeing what he's cooking up with Ride or Die. John Wick has a car, but when everyone's got a ride you get something like a Fast & Furious mashup. Or you just get one loon who never gets out of his firetruck, both work.

Ride or Die is pretty minimalist in its rules, so I'm going maximalist in presentation. Having way too much fun. :)

When @seaexcursion.itch.io pitched me a Roger Rabbit "Toon Town" playset I laughed out loud. John Wick Roger Rabbit, I mean lfg. My favorite part of this one: it's the only playset that wants a list of custom Wound calling cards:

@wilkiescandylab.com's doing "neo-Western," like Fargo or Hell or High Water. What if "the City" was instead "the state of Texas?" I love Mikey's innovation of calling cards as bits of dialog. Not pictured: "save a cow, eat a cowgirl"

Lady Tabletop did the Urban Fantasy playset I kicked off with here. A lot of these are also coming with new venues or venue calling cards. Some of those from LT: “The veil is thin here”, corpse-bitten furniture, smoke pouring over the threshhold
