TiGGR: Sex Pistols – Punk Road to Ruin The Tour That Imploded. The Spark That Lingered. A friend was at the Dallas show. He said there was nothing on the planet like it. Not the noise, not the sneer, not the way it felt like the stage itself might bolt for

Delia, the Paw That Pulls

Pan-dimensional ragamuffin, Guardian of Lost Corners, Zoomie Catalyst When you turn your furchild into a pandimensional NPC. She’s all elbows and angles under a shaggy coat of charcoal and white. Fur that looks like it’s never been brushed—but somehow catches the light just right. Her ears are

Riding the Drift

Toward a Mood-Centered Narrative Mechanic for The Current and Beyond Some games race toward climax. The Current knows how to linger. Narrative flavoring mechanics exist not to resolve conflict, track resources, or activate powers—but to shift tone, deepen mood, or reframe perspective. These are mechanics of symbolic or emotional

A Lexicon of Resonance

A Glossary for Playable Folktales and Drift-Oriented Storytelling These terms shape the tone, not the rules. They are not definitions.

A TiGGR One-Shot of Cosmic Crimps and Glitter Beasts From Crimp to Canon: Revisiting the Boosh Through Glittered Glasses It’s been over two decades since The Mighty Boosh first aired. For many, it wasn’t just a show—it was a frequency. You either tuned in or missed the

TiGGR: Codex of the Repo Men

A TiGGR Retrospective There’s always a car. Always a job. And always something in the back that shouldn’t be—but is. When we published Plate of Shrimp, Neon Delica Microvan, and Cor, Blimey!, they looked like standalone zines. Different tones, timelines, genres. A punk sci-fi collapse in Los

TiGGR: A Wizard of Earthsea

Where Balance Rolls 2d6 Earthsea is not a world of sword-swinging destiny or flashy power displays. It is a world of wind, water, and names—where words shape the world, and power comes with weight. This TiGGR scenario draws from the early threads of Ged’s story, not to replicate
