I got to play an early part of this at Breakout in Toronto earlier this year and it was really cool. Convinced me to play a short Wildsea campaign after. It's a very cool world! Check it out! #ttrpg

For all my #ttrpg and other writing peeps :)

Jays-Yankees! Let's go Blue Jays!

The Grim Hollow Campaign Guide from @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social is now on DnDBeyond! I got to contribute some really cool bits to this fantastic book and can't wait for folks to see it. Working with my friends at GF is always incredibly fulfilling. #dnd marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/DBZ...

"Doing stand-up for a bunch of orcs and trolls and dark wizards doesn’t mean I endorse all that stuff, even though there was a provision in the contract that said I need to endorse all that stuff."

Oh neat I wrote this for @jamesrpg.art and now it’s AVAILABLE

How an RPG Book is Made! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2g8n... Scott Gray @scottfgray.bsky.social and I walk through how to make an RPG book! We use examples from Scott's career working on amazing books such as Draw Steel, Daggerheart, Forge of Foes, CORE20, D&D, and much more! #ttrpg #DnD

Last night we played Galactic Cruise! It's one of those big 4-hr point salad #boardgames - super fun! We especially liked a mechanic that incentivizes players to refill empty resource area for everyone else.

I'm a conspirator with mornings. By the time the world wakes from the haze of its saturday night hijinks and stumbles out to seek brunch, we'll've been at work for hours. We'll have such sights prepared.

Really, wordhippo?! REALLY? (I feel old.) (Doing some #ttrpg writing.)

Peanuts day at the Jays game!

Simply the best slide I have ever seen in a powerpoint presentation care of @premeemohamed.com’s talk at @banffcentre.bsky.social re: Putting the Science in Science Fiction

Ok help me out, so I understand Taylor Swift is super popular and stuff. But are people still buying CDs? Why are people going to target? I'm middle-aged, but even I haven't bought music on physical media for a decade.

The layout, organization, conciseness, leveling up, encounter/area layouts, etc. in Heroes of the Borderlands is really a work of art @justiceraminarman.bsky.social! Congrats to you and the team.

We're in the final days of our Aetherial Expanse - Dreams of the Drowned God Kickstarter. Are you ready to climb aboard?

I've come up with a brilliant idea for a new youtube channel: "Reboxing Videos." The concept is that after friends have left, one person has to put a game back in the box, and bitches about it - and potentially the aforementioned friends - while they do it.

From my limited experience, a thing I like about #DrawSteel is that I don't need to wonder what sort of game I'm getting when I sign up to play. I'm getting 3 or 4 1-hour combat encounters, done on a grid. If I want something else, I can play something else. The certainty is nice. #ttrpg

Who can it be knocking at my door Oh, it's the UPS guy with three boxes full of 😁 (Want one of your own? Visit spyandowl.com/making-enemies !) #MakingEnemies #TTRPG #DnD #Pathfinder #Shadowdark #CypherSystem #CallOfCthulhu

I really dig what the new #dnd starter set is doing, even if - and this is the tiniest of nitpicks - I wish when they were teaching clerics how to "defend their allies" they'd talk about Bless and Shield of Faith and Protection from Evil and not hitting things with a stick - which every class does.

Anyone want a shot at a #Daggerheart special edition set? And supported a good cause?

This came across my socials, and it's totally true. Which EOD do you mean? The EOD when I'm leaving the office or the EOD when I'm handing in my writing assignment? And yes, I realize that I just described working two jobs. Sigh.

Games be like: you can fight or you can do science! Fighting: I killed everyone! Science: I made a thing that killed everyone!

In unrelated news, calling random dickheads "boss" continues to be socially acceptable.

Ran the Delian Tomb for @treantmonk.bsky.social @gm-meeple.bsky.social and @swordcompass.bsky.social! Thoughts starting at 2:17:20 This game had only 3 players, a very different dynamic. And, the party ran low on recoveries, which, turns out, can be a death sentence. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pz-R...

White House reminds press pool that lots of presidents smell like they’ve been decomposing for 5 days

I know this is super subjective even by general game discourse standards, but one way I judge new #ttrpg games as try them is by asking "does this game tell me different or more interesting stories?" I've been playing some cool games lately, but the answer to that question has mostly been "no".

This is great, I've been wondering what the character recommendations were! #dnd #greyhawk

#1 Team in AL vs. #1 Team in NL! Let's go Blue Jays!

GameholeCon registration is tomorrow, so this is your reminder that should you fail to get into that Jeremy Crawford Daggerhart game, you can always come play #dnd with me :)

I'm fascinated by the Foundation TV series. Aside from being the best sci-fi left on TV with its grand scale and unpredictable plot, the what makes it a greater curioisity from a storytelling perspective is that none of its characters are particularly likable, but they're all very interesting.

Disclaimer coming soon to my #ttrpg products: "Yes, every single one of those em-dashes was created by me — a human. Especially the ones that weren't really needed. Also, they all started out as whatever-the-fuck kind of dash Word makes out of 2xdash + space, and then manually fixed one by one."

More great news to share! Grim Hollow Player's Guide is now on DnD Beyond, with the Campaign Guide coming next month. Another milestone representing metric tonnes of work by @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social and @dndbeyond.bsky.social teams to make it happen! marketplace.dndbeyond.com/category/CBG...

1/ As we launch the crowdfunder for the new edition of #CypherSystem, I wanna talk about one of the reasons (A) I'm excited and (B) why doing a new edition is helpful. I have some extra clarity on this topic because of this morning's convo with fellow #Cypher designer @brucecordell.bsky.social

A bunch of my friends - and also @thiseffingm.bsky.social - worked on this awesome new game. I got to play a preview earlier this yesr and it was a great time - simple, thematic, perfect vibes! #ttrpg

It's live—the crowdfunder for the new edition of the Cypher System! I'm one of the designers on this and I'm very very excited about how we're making the game better, check it out!

Last night in PEI!

Here's more information on the free adventure that I'm giving away on @dmsguild.com to celebrate Eberron. #dnd #eberron blog.roll20.net/posts/claim-...

I saw this on FB and the most common comments are:p "it's in the manual!" Or "read the manual!". Who the actual fuck reads the manual for Duck Hunt?! #videogames

My office for the afternoon.

Made by Ghostfire? Lead by Will Doyle? This is going to be a masterclass in #dnd adventure design. Instaback from me. Just as soon as I get to my laptop. #ttrpg
