I threw down some fluid thoughts on the concept of strength. Its definitions were often built against us, contributing to a culture of endurance as pride, and individualism as power. It's a conversational recording, but a good listen. All my patreon posts are free, so drop a follow on the site.

Starting the new year by kicking amazon out of the house -replaced it completely with Home assistant! Also have an *arr-based + Plex (yes I know about Jellyfin but have a specific need for Plex) personal media server to help consolidate blu rays and replace digital purchases i bought and lost.

I don’t love you and I’m not holding your hand: call your Senator and tell them that the must shut down the government on January 30th until this ends, a thing that Democrats have the hard power to do at this very moment.

Apparently I can no longer sleep or I wake up to whatever fuckery is going on right now.

I'm going to support! Y'all should too.

Something I see a lot in both stories and music: an incoming choice point, and the writer can either take the obvious choice or the slightly less obvious choice ”surprising” (but still coherent) choice. Both are fine! It just depends how they’re pulled off and what they say with that choice.

100% agree, and Ill take it further to say that good stories have a logic and rhythm to them... anticipating what comes next should be possible. If it isn't, the storytelling values surprise too highly and relies on random coincidence.

Mutants and Masterminds is a classic! Can't wait to see what the new edition is cooking.

Open Hearth Games of the Year 2025 OK-- here it is everyone, our final ep of the year & the largest one to date. We built this from community submissions (41!) with a ton of interesting games. I hope you enjoy this one: please like, comment, and especially reshare. It really helps us out. #ttrpg

Physical copies of Griot Anthology were available at PaxU, and we sold most of them! I am working with a few places to get physical copies stocked, so anticipate that in the new year.

There has not ever, in my knowledge, been a collection of new and established black TTRPG designers like the Griot Anthology. The industry has largely not given a shit. I expect the same for Five Fires. This was going to be a rare whining post, but actually? Fuck that. Instead: Thank you

The Media Game: Every time you consume any media, make a game. Continue until drowned.

It's so weird being black in this space for this and many other reasons.

Go grab a copy and repost for visibility!

Griot Anthology out in the wild at @sidequestbooks.bsky.social !

We're trying to get to 50% of our goal for Black Zine Fair by tomorrow at midnight. Donations are tax deductible. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f...

Trying to get to at least 250, been going at this for months and still far off... uhm, its hip hop borg or something?

PART THREE IS OUT PART THREE!!!! Our musical-improv One Shot of Last Train to Bremen continues! We're doing a live-listen in the One Shot discord tomorrow night, but the episode is up for you to hear now!

And also in February I published a free pack of images for science fiction and horror games taking advantage of the jam of the apotheosis XENO by @caligaes.itch.io roque-romero.itch.io/xeno-dumpster

Also will be getting off my butt for playtests of the next revision of Five Fires. Ive been paralyzed on how to revise this game for almost a decade so I am really excited to do that ahead of the launch. Speaking of which, sign up Five Fires! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

I wanna add to this... if this sounds like your vibe and you might like to playtest it sometime in the near future, hit me up please!

Lets go!

Story time! An intergalactic plague, wildly mutating, deadly on many vectors. So many strains they all must lumped into on catch-all: the Ultra-virus (UV). In all our travels and colonies, it is humanity's first contact with alien life.

I've got some top notch ideas for stock art I can draw for you all in 2026😌✨

Ok, I am sketching up this super space werewolf project and I need to find someone to play this thing with me lol

Are you ready to bring the house down? Explore the delicate balance of sharing your culture without compromising your community in Intergalactic Teaz by Bluu Smith and BrieAnna Allen, one of the amazing TTRPGs included in the Griot Anthology! #ttrpg thoughtcrimegames.it...

god it is impossible to find non shitty AI pieces for art assets these days. driving me crazy.

Thank you!!!

Looking for some recommendations of sweet sci-fi vector art assets for layout/graphic design. Also, sci-fi dice fonts?

I sense an influx of people who might be interested in TTRPGs! Check out our starter pack go.bsky.app/HGiNepJ

I think i have short vacation design project. Space Werewolves harnessing the power of a virulent plague to fight the agents of sentient, distributed virus thats gone all Pluribus and wants to "unite" the universe.

There are community copies of the Griot Anthology available! If you don't have the means to buy one, grab your copy of this zine celebrating the brilliant work of black #TTRPG game designers for FREE while they last! (If you've already got one, give it a review!) thoughtcrimegames.it...#TTRPG

Does anyone know of a mecha tarot/oracle set?

This is good shit. Get in on it!

Warframe goes so hard! The production value and the sheer amount of modes of play are seriously blowing me away.

Lots of great stuff already out there about networking and socializing at cons, but I will add this one bit: Treat everyone like they matter, because they do. Not just because of what it could mean for you career-wise, but for what environment it creates.

Listen. This is one of the best designs I have ever made. Put it on your body.

Hey #indieanimation fans and supports and #indiecreators #indiefilm I made a starter pack of black indie creators ( primarily Animation cuz that's what I know mostly ) that everyone should follow. Folks like to support Indie but make sure you're supporting black voices too go.bsky.app/AY6B9eE

DNGN CLUB '25: a year in review. Today, I'm highlighting my surprise darling, DNGN + DRGN. It essentially started as a demo of what I ended up calling the DNGN ENGN (I'm aware of how annoying I am) and as a bit of a joke. Its become one of my most downloaded games, and I absolutely love it. 🧵

I mean....

Merry Christmas!

Remarkable that one of Twitter's current trademarks is regularly sending huge waves of users away with hostile anti-features. But that is what you get when an app is dedicated to making only one person happy.
