At a friend's recommendation, in lstening to the latest episode of Factually! (@adamconover.net podcast). They're talking about indie rpgs. My only note: I wish they had talked more about how numbers/data can not only be used to tell a story, but that what data we choose to share can be biased.

Been waiting to post this screenshot

Holy cow! Backer #1 for the first time ever. Do I win a prize?

I need to show off this amazing set of dice I got from @redstardice.bsky.social last night. It wasn't a collaboration, but I knew it was the perfect set to complement Permit Crab Birthday.

I love collaborating with my community. Whether it's in the tabletop space, queer community, or with people I see at makers markets - its so energizing to see people's passion.

Look who else is here... it's the amazing @redstardice.bsky.social

Good question! I think I'd recommend designers start here: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/start-here #zinequest #pocketquest #zimo #ttrpg

Decided to sell a couple of my games along with bug art at this market. Stop by if you're in the area!

Yes to all of this. If you're someone new to freelancing who wants to chat how to sort out a contract even at the most basic level, gimme a shout! Happy to chat, my advice is always free. Discord or email, ill happily help.

Doing @conofthenorth.bsky.social prep while listening to season 1 of Gamestorm (an awesome podcast by @chkurk.bsky.social)

Just published the slides and links from this event on itch. At the event there were a ton of valuable conversations that could not be properly captured in the notes. courtana.itch.io/chicago-ttrp...

Build something special with me in Milwaukee

"You're right. You didn't recreate the Stamford prison experiment. You recreated MK Ultra."

Ya boy got a referral for medical care that will help with some chronic health issues!

We’ll be hosting a Game Jam starting Feb 15th and running for about a month to celebrate the completion of the first season of Gamestorm! Jump in, pick a prompt from the season, and make a game. Especially if you’ve never made a game before! #gamestormpromptjam

This is such a cute concept! Let's become cryptids in the woods and share our stories

Looking for a specific photo of me in this sweater from 2 years ago. I'm shocked at how much my face has changed in that time. I was the same weight and more muscular 2 years ago, yet my face looks so much more angular now.

According to transphobes I stray further from God every day. If that's true, why do I see my true self more every day?

I really need a partner who knows how to relax and follows their passions. Once again I may have volunteered for an event.

Bad news y'all. That was a load bearing transmasc you just brought to the point of burnout.

Some of these UIC classrooms have the projector screens facing a ground floor glass wall. You could literally sit outside and get a free education.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

I've been toying with low and midrange fountain pens recently. I truly don't know how people comfortably use medium and bold nibs as their daily drivers - especially for western nibs.

Substitute "draw" with "taxidermy" and that's basically me

I realized that I haven't put any practical thought into travel logistics or packing for @conofthenorth.bsky.social I guess I'll figure it out this weekend (after art market prep)

This is the other game in my top 2. While I didn't add the extras (international shipping) it shares themes with other games that have profoundly changed me as a person. I truly expect this game to break me. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

I backed 6 projects for Zine month. This is in my top 2 and was one I didn't hesitate to do the buy-ups for. I love me a good corporate horror TTRPG. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter soon, and if you have a podcast, stream, blog, etc., I'd love to come talk to you about it! I'm great on the mic, and a really good interview. Get in touch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Ordered a burger at the office cafeteria and they accidentally gave me free avocado. Somehow it's the best avocado I've had in years.

Finally managed to get in a 30 minute walk on the office treadmill during "lunch" today

Margaret Anderson was an early 20th century lesbian who, twice in her life, stayed by her partner until they passed. Margaret was not mentioned in either partner's obituary. My heart hurts for her.

Going to bed tonight with the knowledge that the me of today is greater than the me of yesterday, and that the me of tomorrow will be greater than the me of today.

Partied too hard last night apparently

Conversations with the 9yo DM: 9yo DM: I have another DM Tip. Me: I thought you were done. 9yo DM: This one is really good, so I am back.

This is a great opportunity! I'd do it, but I'm running enough events to get badge and room reimbursement.

Due to an in-flight game project this account will temporarily become a horny gay history account. Thank you for staying with me during these trying times. 🙏

Hey Gencon, the libertarians would like a word with you.

Chicago-area TTRPG friends: I'm hosting a collaborative workshop for people into or interested in game design. Ideally, grab a (free) ticket. But you're also welcome to show up day of! www.eventbrite.com/e/ttrpg-game...

It would be nice if @itch.io let you filter through or at least download the list of things you own. In the meantime, someone created this awesome thing that might work: itch.io/blog/513776/export-collections-to-csv.amp

Say what you want about his character, but John Coughlin had an impeccable fashion sense.

Quote from last night: "This game has facists and republicans fighting against each other. I don't know..." "The game was published in 2013. It was a simpler time."

Quote from last night: "Why do the hot guys only get a half page but the nazi ex boyfriend gets a full page spread?!"

Hey, so... we're $115 away from our $1000 goal??? 🥹 I can't thank you all enough for supporting this campaign. Genuinely. WE'RE ALMOST THERE AHHHH tilt.fyi/8RCqUl7NDk
