When in the city, I must make my pilgrimage. Look at the sexy @evilhat.bsky.social shelf. This the place to find books printed 25+ years ago

There's just over 24 hours to get Play Unsafe, my book about storytelling, play and TTRPGs. Go and back the Kickstarter if you haven't already. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... #ttrpg #kickstarter

Now we see if I can take any future recommendations from @rossbryant.bsky.social

Three of my favorite people on mic? Yes, please.

This needs to be a module now. Question for the collective, what system would you want to see it written for?

Gamers! I just backed the Kickstarter for the 20th anniversary edition of Graham Walmsley's PLAY UNSAFE. Just two days left! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

You have 2 days left to get this essential book for all ttrpg players. (Maybe we can make Graham frown again.)

Get ready to run!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

Outpost at the Edge of Dark Space! A dystopian future through the lens of a 70s filmmaker obsessed with the 50s. Improv #callofcthulhu "11/10 amazing" "Epic!! One of my favorites 🔥" ft. @sskorkowsky.bsky.social, @nouralogical.bsky.social, Mary Lou, @cuppycup.bsky.social, @rossbryant.bsky.social

There's a week to go on the Kickstarter for Play Unsafe, my book about how to play TTRPGs. This is a really good time to give it a boost, so please repost this, talk about it in your own channels, etc etc. Thanks so much. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra... #kickstarter #ttrpg

Another #TTRPGirls game is now available on our YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure! Find out how the clock ran down for the Arctic research team in our oneshot of Shiver! youtu.be/83mKkBWFAwM?...

Camping for Gamers discord is lit up as we reach the 4-week mark before we decend on the campsite. People getting excited. What games to bring?? New GMs finding the courage. Dreams of nothing to do but play games and sit by the fire. Should be close to 25 people this year.

STACK provides. STACK is your (lord/sovereign/God) friend. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

We're just $5K away from unlocking our next stretch goal, FOUR new Odyssey tapes! “Happy Jack 01 Meet Happy Jack”, “Affirmations 03 Attic Sounds?” “Astral 010 She Is Watching This (Us?)”, and “Neighborly Living 04 Cooking for the Bereaved Pure-White Irony.” www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

I was interviewed by @bloody-disgusting.com! This is a great piece by @baronaim.bsky.social covering the game, how it’s been updated, and more! Talk about a real bucket list item for this lifelong horror fan! bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3...

I'm sorry what ?! Dang I wasn't even aware this was going to be a thing what the heck. This is amazing!

I interviewed @jasoncordova.bsky.social about Public Access (NOW on Kickstarter!), Brindlewood Bay, 7-3-1, and MORE! blog.alexrinehart.net/posts/jason-...

An insane deal. I can point to at least Theo games that are worth the price alone.

I just backed Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

How do you create an entire one-shot from a prompt LIVE? I talked with @rossbryant.bsky.social and @cuppycup.bsky.social about horror as a genre and how the podcast entertains while helping you become a better GM and player. On all pod platforms or here: open.spotify.com/episode/510l... #ttrpg

One of the best full campaigns I’ve ever run. I cannot wait to get it in its final form. I was helpless against the Odyssey Tapes deck. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Running Final Girl for the first time for Patrons tonight. Did I need to make a Figma for the Victim Cards and a PlayingCards.io? No. Did I? Yes. Am the kind of dork who has fun making stuff like that? Oh, yes. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...

It’s like the crew at @bullypulpithq.bsky.social knew Camping for Gamers is only weeks away. I cannot wait to show this game to everyone. It’s one of the best boxed RPGs I’ve played.

You can now take a peek at the Public Access Kickstarter campaign! We launch on Tuesday, March 17th at 10 AM Eastern! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Watching Navi work is like watching a foul mouthed sculptor summon the soul from the heart of a stone. You're not sure how she does it, but the results kind of speak for themselves. The creative profanity is a fringe benefit.

Grand Guignol gives us crooked alleys & foggy squares, charged touches & words left unsaid, lavish parties & faceless crowds, bloody hands & dangerous smiles, and always the darkness without & within asking ‘What lurks in the secret corners of your heart?’.

Now in overtime. Last call!

For whatever reason, nothing makes me want to play ultra-OSR like this show www.imdb.com/title/tt1033...

Well, @kierongillen.bsky.social, I hope you’re proud of yourself. Session 3 of DIE is done and it is the most emotionally challenging and devastating 2 hours of gaming I’ve experienced. In. The. Best. Possible. Way. All hats off. No more hats.

Blades '68 is in the funding home stretch, and I'm ~officially~ making playable demons. 🖤 www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

Hey heroes! @superdillin.bsky.social and I have a new book out. I'm very proud of it and I want it to do well. You can help by buying a copy, but you can help even more by leaving a review! Yes, on Amazon. Evening you didn't buy it there. a.co/d/01iPHFPs

I interviewed @oneshotrpg.bsky.social about the release of THE ULTIMATE RPG VILLAIN BACKSTORY GUIDE, out now! blog.alexrinehart.net/posts/james-...

For our next Patreon-exclusive mini-series we're diving into a psychedelic heist in Blades '68 GMed by the designer @olddog.games and featuring special guest player @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social Tune in later this week for part 1 of this 3-part series!

I've felt truly uninspired lately and after great conversations with @pandiongames.com @matteosciutteri.it and @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social today, I've a boost of motivation and continued the layout work for Chronicles of the Boundless. This game is going to be special. (thanks friends)

Amen. We will game! RP, you are one of the best and also a great guest. I need to fast track and get this out.

If you haven't checked out all the different, unique games designed on Gamestorm, they're all now PWYW! Go check them out, play the games and listen to the episodes! itch.io/c/6172800/de...

Keep your ears out for a future episode of @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social Tabletop Talk with @rossbryant.bsky.social and @cuppycup.bsky.social discussing Push the Roll with Ross Bryant, the history, the process and lots of things in between.

Read this. Thank me after.

We touched on this idea in the Dice Exploder episode, and I was inspired to write a whole post about metaphorical gears in game design. High gear, low gear, setting gears, system gears. ⚙️ blog.olddog.games/posts/gears-...

I chatted with Matt & Rob of @dmofnone.bsky.social about Ride or Die, the Fast & Furious movies, classical heroes, and refusing to acknowledge physics when they get in the way of fun. Check out the podcast here: dmofnone.libsyn.com/393-ride-or-...

3. As if Blades '68 doesn't have enough touchstones already, I wrote a design diary about four "meta touchstones". blog.olddog.games/posts/what-i... These are less aesthetic touchstones and more creative guides for my own process. Two books, a TV show, and an ad campaign.

2. I also went on Dice Exploder, to discuss "Draw Maps, Leave Blanks" from Dungeon World (something very near and dear to my heart). bsky.app/profile/dice... I'm a big Dice Exploder fan so this was a real treat!

THREE THINGS: 1. I had a great chat with @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social about Blades '68. bsky.app/profile/thir... One motivation for continuing to make games is the chance to talk to Craig at least once every few years. Always a pleasure.
