I have to find some energy and passion again. Since learning I’ll never own a home, never be able to plan for the future in a meaningful way, my desire to create TTRPGs has plummeted. Like, what’s the point of any of it? I’m tired of just grinding and scraping by and paying bills to no ultimate end.

Nearly cried twice, cackled and was shooketh. I don't know how something that started so good can keep getting better but this is.

A brief, tense reunion and a whole lot of heretical horrors from everyone’s favourite tree witch. @jessjewell.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social @michellicopter.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social

Very excited to run 🌘The Between🌒 tonight and to introduce The Creature of Cremorne Gardens as our second threat^^ #ttrpg #pbta #TheBetween www.gauntlet-rpg.com/the-between....

Look at these precious angels

Happy Sunday!

Remembering that day five years ago when I was the villain of Twitter because I said I transfer an open bag of chips to a sealed container rather than use a chip clip.

BREAKING: The Misfits have pulled out of the… oh wait, never mind, they’ll definitely be at the Freedom 250 event.

I know being friendly and accessible is part of my brand in TTRPGs, but sometimes I want to disappear for a week, not tell anyone where I’m at, and just write.

Our entire economy is being artificially propped up by astrology for men: AI, crypto, sports betting, and prediction markets. It's an economy shaped entirely by male insecurity and lack of impulse control, and we'll all pay the price.

Holy hell, groceries went up an insane amount this week! My normal trip was about 35% higher from last week.

As a Texan, I’ve got months of Talarico slander to endure. The attacks on him are all over the place, with a particular emphasis on his looks, because MAGA (and the manosphere and the maxxers) are obsessed with appearance. But… I think he’s good-looking? I don’t get the narrative that he’s ugly.

Here’s the selection of badges on offer at #UKGE this week. If you see me, grab me and you can have one.

I’ve had a few days to reflect on the wreckage of trying to buy a house, and the process was so fucking infuriating. I have *sterling credit* and was putting down FIFTY PERCENT, and I still couldn’t get the loan because my income doesn’t come with a pay stub. (1/)

I wish some bigger TTRPG company would just buy our catalogue and then hire me to write games.

Whelp. Looks like I am running three 'Carved From Brindlewood' sessions at UKGE; two sessions of a short form game I wrote myself, specifically designed to be run at cons, and a Public Access one-shot "House on Escondido Street". Whose idea was this? What do you mean "I only have myself to blame?"

Only two days away now?? Here's what I'm up to at the con, give me a wave if you see me. You shall know me by my cute face and surprisingly diminutive stature

Just posted a playtest of an incursion I wrote for Trophy Dark. It's basically Folk Horror Tom Bombadil. 🤷‍♀️

I think it’s now 7 different designs. I just like making pin badges.

If you're going to be at UKGE, find @thebadspot.bsky.social to get a CfB Pilled badge! He has five different designs!

A mysterious death and four lovely little old ladies getting into perilous (and occasionally extremely socially awkward) situations! Brindlewood Bay concludes live tomorrow so watch the first part now! With @jasoncordova.bsky.social and Markus Copeland.

This Actual Play is top notch. It also gives you a look into very cool upcoming TTRPG!

Safe to say Matt got everything he wanted and a whole lot more. Such an amazing episode. Everyone was outstanding.

If you too enjoy watching Matt suffer, this is the episode for you

In this session, I had the intention of being a bit hard on my character. It got out of hand. @jessjewell.bsky.social @michellicopter.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social youtu.be/0WuftHbq6RM

Knowing I don’t need the money for a house anymore, I want to buy something truly ridiculous. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre pinball, perhaps?

I had never once heard of that guy who was slagging off PbtA, and now I see him everywhere in people’s replies trying to convince everyone what a nice guy he is, actually, haha.

Nothing matters.

Just give up.

Just give up.

Catching up on the PbtA discourse (I’m already in a foul mood, so why not), and the most disappointing part of it is a lot you *really* don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. Like, just straight up uninformed on the topic, or with opinions not at all informed by play. Embarrassing.

The thing I hate most about this house situation is I let myself get excited about it. I know better! I know not to expect this sort of thing for me! Rookie shit, tbh.

The house didn’t work out. 😕 It’s ok—it was always the most likely outcome, and I’ve made peace with it. Maybe I’ll try to find a slightly less shitty apartment as a consolation prize, haha. She was pretty, though! Sigh.

Are you interested in trying out a 'Carved from Brindlewood' ttrpg? Or already a fan? Are you free on Sunday 24th May at 7pm GMT? I am playtesting a one shot inspired by the "Alien" series of films and have a single slot available. The session should be 4 hours. Enquire within / please share!

I’m running BBay LIVE for the RPG Geeks in about 10 minutes! www.youtube.com/live/cw_Ft5Q...

I often get the comment that my actual plays set the bar too high, and that their own table could never do that. I find it somewhat sad because I think with the right tools, any player can shine. It’s not their fault you’ve only ever put the most boring, crunch-heavy trad slog in front of them.

Let's go find a cosy little murder to solve! Join us this Jeeksday for the first of our Brindlewood Bay two-parter, live from 7pm BST with @jasoncordova.bsky.social @emzywb.bsky.social @shamini.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social and Markus Copeland.

Just finished @kittenmarlowe.bsky.social's actual play of #TheBetween by @jasoncordova.bsky.social Absolutely Amazing! A great audio drama/adventure, with small asides about the rules. Congrats to the cast and everyone involved on a job well done! Brilliant! kittenmarlowe.com/smoke

Got two songs in this one! I can't watch them back because I find it genuinely impossible to endure, but I'm told by others that they are enjoyable. Also: Jess gives a rousing speech, Wren fails to suffer a fool, Matt learns magic.

So I almost cried a few times during this episode because of a couple of people. Totally worth it though.

"Hello Abomination..." A genuinely amazing session to have been part of. @jessjewell.bsky.social @masquewren.bsky.social @michellicopter.bsky.social @jasoncordova.bsky.social @fkth.bsky.social youtu.be/SZ3Vo-gVBtQ
