Henry Rollins on the "one ray of light" within 1980s rock
Ex-Black Flag frontman Henry Rollins has always been keen to voice his musical opinions, and during the late 1980s, he was a particularly big fan of Ween.
Since the #OGL fiasco, I honestly considered quitting my Properties & Provinces #DnD5E project. In fact, I stopped developing it for about 6 months.
Now that the dust is settled, emotions are processed, and drive is somewhat restored, I've been working on it again and I'm currently developing my upcoming mass combat playtest.
Except, now it's evolved into a #5E rules expansion compatible with #DnD 2024, #A5E, and #BlackFlag. And reconciling all 3 rules variants is... Surprisingly nuanced. 👀
