5 years ago or so, I dreamed that the new fashion for fascists was (a) an unfortunate haircut; (b) swim flippers; (c) putting their arms into their coat sleeves elbows-first. When I woke up, I drew a picture of it:

Happy Valentine's Day Especially to my #ttrpg friends looking for a little Romance Trilogy: www.blackgreengames.com/shop/romance...

This Kickstarter ends Friday! The 13th! Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath's birthday! More Eidolon Folios to unlock! More art you to build your rogues and adventures on! More margin for your ever-grateful publisher!

Нова стаття в блозі від @azzzik.bsky.social — «Використання Apocalypse World для створення схеми та чернетки вашої власної НРГ, частина 2», переклад другої частини deep dive в дизайн PbtA від автора рушія Вінсента Бейкера. #нрі

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

It looks possible, even likely, that we'll hit 666 backers. Might celebrate that by writing a scenario wherein our heroes must claw their way out of the underworld that you can only play with rogues who have died in previous adventures.

The World’s Sweetest Rolfball #AW3rd

Happy birthday!

SO HYPE

Come great, come small, come revelers all! Join the faerie circus and put on the show of a lifetime for the Undermountain King and his freshly made son! Never before has there been a show like this, not under the sun, not under the moon and not Under Hollow Hills! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Fixing your heart is, for us born into our arsenal of privilege in the world's most empire, both a lifelong undertaking requiring discipline, patience, perspective, and good teachers, and a necessary first step toward reclaiming your self. It's our essential duty and our most precious opportunity.

I assume somebody's seen him this morning, right?

Another very fun conversation!

What a pleasure this was!

Know, oh princex, that between the years when the oceans drank Friendster and the GeoCitites, and the years of the rise of the Bots of Xitter, there was an Age undreamed of, when shining communities lay spread across G+ like blue mantles beneath the stars… Hither game #SundayAMSwords…

Some old New England apocalyptica, how about. Tim Eriksen and Eliza Carthy. youtu.be/4e0pvxKse1M?...

Re: Bird Neighbors Today there's a red-shouldered hawk around. The songbirds in our yard were agitated. I didn't pay much mind — it snowed overnight, so I assumed that's what they were discussing. Trying to find the birdseed under the snow, figuring out which feeders weren't empty, the usual.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

This is very true!

Yesterday, we sent a bunch of emails to artists, thanks to the swift success of this Kickstarter. And folks, I can't wait to see what they create!

Recording our first post-KS-launch episode of @unwrittenearths.bsky.social today, with special guest @portablecity.bsky.social, and I expect this to be a full-on celebration! Just blown away by this support!

In that context, such a pure reminder of what we create together—the laughter, yes; & the care, the encouragement, the invitation: to say something silly, to build on each other's ideas, to be bold, to be honest, to be extravagant & to be ourselves—well, it felt more precious than any fairy coin. ✨

YES

Get Ready for Five Fires! Follow the BackerKit page and help take this #ttrpg of DJs, breakers, MCs, and graffiti writers from PDF to Print.

We're live! Come hang out if you want!

About to design the sickest ttrpg now that Mondrian’s Composition with red, blue, and Yellow is in the public domain

Nyoink!

The first game of 2026 was "What Dust Remains" by @momatoes.com - a powerful and profound gmless story game where all players contribute to creating the life of a Pioneer with a mix of card drafting, prompts, and dice rolls. We were all in tears at the end. I cannot recommend this enough. ✨✨

In light of yesterday's stirring performance by Lucy Dacus in NYC, here's an article by my colleague Robert Forrant on the 1912 "Bread and Roses" Strike in Lawrence, Mass. #SolidarityForever www.zinnedproject.org/materials/br...

@megueyb.bsky.social Here's the video!

"You there, boy! What day is it?"

Folks!!! Remember all that stuff I said about commissioning art cards for use as eidolons in Swords Without Master? bsky.app/profile/epid... Here's a little sneak preview!

And, also by design, the player who wrote the adventure doesn't have to be the Overplayer.

Advent of Swords, Day 5: Hey it's the solstice! I've got 1,000 errands to run, but I should really post about Swords, too. Did you know that Swords has a phase your only allowed to play when you're not playing?

Advent of Swords, Day 3: If you're designing a #ttrpg, what's its objective? What are the players trying to accomplish? Can you clearly put that into words? Would those words help you organize your thoughts and design? If you confessed the objective to the players, would that help them play?

Thank you all! Now to sleep, and then, to work!

Here it is. The final 24 hours. You've helped coax banked embers into a steady flame. Tell me, what is one thing you'll bring with you into What-Comes-Next? Seeds? Thread? A good kitchen knife? What will you make of what's left? Together, let's light up the world. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Late on this tonight, the 2nd night of the Advent of Swords. But things have been BUSY. Okay, here's a short one, because I've only got a two hour window to watch a holiday horror film in tonight and I don't want to miss it! Sometimes you think you know a game and then over a decade later…

The City of Lost Grinches

…there is sorcery in that moment when you hit upon an eidolon that says "Remember me?" about a rogue you never knew. Like digging through a library finding an old book that meant the world to you when you were younger, but you can no longer recall the title or anything behind a few obscure details.

So Epimas is in a week, and the gift I most want for the holiday is to see the number of followers on this to hit 666: www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw... I think it's possible. I believe in the power! To help it along, for the next week, I'm doing an Advent of Swords.

Also if you are ex-Mormon, liminal Mormon, or otherwise Mormon-adjacent, this is one of ours.

If you’re into ttrpgs at all you should know that Apocalypse World is probably the most influential game of the last 20 years. This is a good opportunity to get your hands on an updated copy and support some really great people.
