witch madness (this is not worth looking at in detail yet)

I am about to finally start eeking back out into the world to share some new things I've been working on, and while it feels absolutely insane and tone deaf to excitedly share anything right now, also, isn't that really all we can do for ourselves?

I’m so sorry, my third one: If you don’t like the game part of games, you’re allowed to just tell stories. You’re allowed to play pretend. If what you like is only the pretend part, just do that.

VOID 1680 AM is one of my favorite games. If you haven't played it yet, do yourself a favor and grab one of these community copies! (or buy it so ken can get sandwiches)

The best part of making/playing games is the people.

Almost

Got some extremely cool news yesterday that I can’t talk about for a HOT minute 😭

Truly! This post is so real. If your problem with WOTC is their shady business practices regarding D&D, hooo boy the way they handle MTG!

hey, so you remember how the US government funded Al Qaeda in the 80s to fight a proxy war against Russia in the Middle East? what happened less than two decades later?

Have you seen this? It has seen you.

Game design is a fun and fruitful hobby

Abolish ICE is the moderate position. Any Dem not working towards this no longer represents their voters.

Hey friendly reminder! If you’re a: - brand - game maker - performer - interested in being involved in a show at all Maybe listen to it first before you start emailing them!

Just back to see if anyone wants to co-organize a GenCon panel (or needs more panelists). Submissions are open and I’m making plans!

A big part of Perils & Princesses is to create a gift for my daughter. It’s inspired by her imagination and the games we play. But it’s also for my son. To have a big pink book that his dad is proudly showing to the world that is honestly honoring how he wants to express himself. 🧵.

Mental health break needed - gonna step off Bluesky. I’m on Discord @pcperini if you wanna chat — and please do hmu!

It's suddenly hit me. I'm not ready to say goodbye.

Please talk about the games you love. It can change the lives of the artists that pour their soul into them.

I mean it’s not WRONG

Normally this would be a day when I say "NEW GAME MASTER MONDAY" But I have a different announcement to make: In order to focus on our mental health and make the show better, GMM the podcast will be taking a short hiatus until March 23rd Our Twitch will still be going! But we need a small break:

Is it possible to give yourself goosebumps? Gallows Corner was such an amazing game to play and I cannot recommend it more highly if you're after a dark medieval romp as a downtrodden peasant who's had enough. www.kickstarter.com/projects/thr...

One of the best ever short articles in RPG theory claims that the entity called the "game master" is just a series of functional and social roles that can be divided up amongst a player group, easy peasy. You can read it here in the 2012 KP book if you wanna: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/zj11u...

Have you recorded gameplay (publicly or privately) of @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social DIE RPG? Is it NOT on this list? Replies are open to send me links if I've missed anything.

On it, boss

Hey labor scholars are right

Rules of D&D (according to me) - a player must host - a player must provide snacks - all players must take notes - the DM must be served the beverage of their choice - all are responsible for the emotional well-being of the ppl at the table - all should talk about their expectations in advance

The "traditional" structure of TTRPGs puts an enormous amount of pressure on the GM to learn/refine & very little on the players. Which is somehow seen as more reasonable than spreading the load of learning/contribution across the whole table. Broader implications about community in there, y'all.

The perfect add on for your MOTHERBOARD campaign. Rules lite, minimal bookkeeping, and rules for battling Kaiju! MECHS BABY!

Thank you to the Cusco Webfest for selecting both Know Gods, No Afters AND The Way of the Hollow Star for their 2026 Webfest lineup.

Y’all don’t understand. I’m genuinely so excited about this book. This was made for me specifically.

LMFAO WE GOT THEM TO SHUT IT DOWN

So were the soldiers at the My Lai massacre, to say nothing of the Waffen-SS. How is this a defense?

grimacing as i check my stat screen for the first time. i’m on slow xp curve. my job points are fucked. basically no stam. my gear score is in the low-to-no teens. i’ve been on auto level up and the respec gems are like 9k (and need to be pre-approved by my bank). i’ve been overencumbered since 2019

"after entire internet yells at ceo" is a great title for an onion piece

You're fine. I just said: "I hate it. Everybody I know hates it. Nobody but dumbass CEO's want this awful shit that's going to crash the global economy later this year. Fuck off forever." Then it asked me my age. =P

Honestly, they seem to be the only company actually taking people's consideration into concern. Something that companies like Microslop and Google have forgotten.

And I quote "Do not use the ocean boiling plagiarism machine that is tripling peoples' energy bills, giving them psychosis and stealing their jobs".

I just got confirmation that this came from an in-app popup for the moderator of a mid-sized server.

Human art enjoyers and fellow Butlerian Jihadists, let them know this shit is poison. They're hoping to be able to gauge sentiment and call us rare outliers; we can go screaming right into the heart of this and make it clear it's suicide.

Was I too over the top when they asked for my feelings on the matter?

I told them to go fuck themselves and eat an ass for even considering it, so.

I said, "When the fucking bubble bursts I'm hitting the strip club," but I like the way you think too 😂

Absolutely. User researchers read every line, consider every statistic. Now, if you ask me how often user researches get listened to…
