There's a Valentine's sale on at DriveThruRPG, which includes a lot of excellent Blue Rose material:

Currently reading:

Considering some of the various optional rules in Green Ronin's AGE games, to see what might enhance play in Blue Rose or Modern AGE. It's nice to have a broadly common system connecting the different RPGs, but it does unfortunately mean that new rules appear in one place, then get adopted elsewhere in a tweaked and renamed version (Peril! A new addition to Fantasy AGE in the second edition. Originally appeared in The Expanse, where it was called Churn. Also cropped up in the Modern AGE Companion, but there it was called Complications… This happens a lot).

Some really interesting rules and ideas, but working out how they interact isn't as easy as it might be. Right now, for instance, I'm thinking of using the Fortune option—a sort of limited plot immunity—in place of traditional hit points in Blue Rose… but how does that work with Blue Rose's Conviction system, which can recover hit points? My fuzzy brain means it takes a while for the possible contradictions to resolve and make sense.

I'm not sure that all six emails informing me of this eBay order's progress to my door were *strictly* necessary, but it's here now. Mind you, buying it in the first place was not strictly necessary, as the PDF version is free and still easily available, but this printed copy from the Free RPG Day 2021 is beautifully produced and and a little easier to read for me.

Another DriveThruRPG sale is running. Not everything is included, but there are reasonable savings on PDFs of some Blue Rose books, particularly the core rulebook and the Aldis city guide. I've been reading this one more closely recently and it's very good, despite an occasional tendency to give some characters and locations very Ye Olde Fantasye Gayme names (Bitter-Fang Mountains! Tangle Wood! The Scatterstar Archipelago, for heaven's sake!).

A cute little wink in the naming of these stunts in the Blue Rose RPG.

Boah Leute! Da wollte ich heute nach Feierabend bloß noch einen kurzen Kontrollgang über meine Insel machen und schauen, ob es allen gut geht und niemand krank ist und was sehen meine entzündeten Augen da?! In ein paar Tagen bin ich stolzer Besitzer einer blauen Rose! Eine #Rose mit blauen Blüten! Seit sechs Monaten züchte ich nun schon die roten Rosen und hoffte auf eine Blaue #acnh #AnimalCrossing #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons #BlueRose
