Heckuva thunderstorm out there tonight.

We were sitting there and I was practically watching them use the Risk Sheet and make the best hard choices they could. It was cool!

We watched Disclosure Day! I'm a UFO buff of old, so the thing where Spielberg has the characters stop what they're doing and lay out their positions on the controversial points of inside baseball tickled me. What I didn't expect was, it's a Psi*Run movie! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

There's no good song I can remember that's about something being 3/4 of the way there, but if there was, I'd link to the video! Once this crosses the first goal, I want to talk about the art, and why I want to see it cross some stretch goals! #PsiRun2e #ttrpg #PBTA

I'm like the Fremen of Dune but instead of spice it's beets and instead of my eyes it's my shirt.

Good morning! Are you ready to discover the full extent of your power, figure out what's _really_ going on, and maybe take down the forces of oppression? Run for it! #PsiRun2e #ttrpg #PBTA www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

Speaking of #ttrpgs and #PsiRun2e, there's a @diceexploder.com episode in which @johnharper.bsky.social lays out why the Risk Sheet is so cool. I happen to agree! You can back Psi*Run 2e here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

You've haused your last bau.

New ep Weds, and it's a big one! We attended Origins and talked with friends old and new. We found these conversations incredibly energizing, and hope you enjoy them as well!

At Origins, Apocalypse World inducted into Hall of Fame, Land of Eem wins RPG of the Year www.rascal.news/at-origins-a...

Run! RUN!

So I attended this to watch Apocalypse World get inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design Hall of Fame live. It was neat!

T -1. It's tomorrow. Get ready.

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

I was thinking I'd tell you about the energizing power of friendship (old & new) or the inspiring games I saw or some of the things I've learn or whatever, but no. No. I have to tell you about this asshole right here.

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

#Origins was a blast! The Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design (AAGAD) inducted Apocalypse World into its Hall of Fame. @megueyb.bsky.social and I are beyond honored. www.originsawards.net Here's me accepting the award:

Still at #Origins (and happy Pride from Columbus OH). I'm wandering toward IPR booth #1803. If you're in the neighborhood, stop by & say hi!

Such an honor! I'm sorry to have missed it due to my day job!

Congrat to @lumpley.bsky.social and @megueyb.bsky.social for Apocalypse World’s Hall of Fame induction! Vincent graced us with a message from the Psychic Maelstrom to celebrate.

Hello from Origins! In 15 mins I'll be at the @ipr.bsky.social booth, #1803, signing books and hanging out. Stop by!

Getting nickel & dimed in a world where a nickel means like 15 bucks.

These attack ads are getting out of hand. No one is safe.

I've been GMin a long running game of Under Hollow Hills this year and it's been the easiest Gming has ever come to me. It also helped me understand how the conversation and play of a ttrpg can move in all new ways. An incredible game - if you design anything narrative driven you need to play it

I know I've said this before, but @lumpley.bsky.social @megueyb.bsky.social Under Hollow Hills really does something magical in a #TTRPG one-shot

Folks!

Of old school combats, Tunnels & Trolls' has a lot to recommend it. There are tradeoffs, obviously, but overall I find it more fun than D&D's.

Check out Soothwardens By Navaar Seik-Jackson on @BackerKit! I can't believe I almost missed it. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...

Wild how many political parties just can't get the single, fundamental rule of "no fucking nazis" right.

Five favourite books of all time in no particular order. The Kestrel by Lloyd Alexander Night's Master by Tanith Lee Catch 22 by Joseph Heller Also The Green Pearl by Jack Vance Sex On Six Legs by Marlene Zuk

June 19 Friday 1pm Meguey and Vincent Baker will be in #Booth1803 at their first Origins! We will have Under Hollow Hills and our very last copies of Apocalypse World 2e while supplies last, but no purchase necessary to talk to the Bakers.

Under Hollow Hills!

To celebrate Pride, @megueyb.bsky.social and I are offering 30% off Under Hollow Hills, the Wolf King's Son, and In Dreaming Avalon — and we've re-upped community copies too. If you've been curious, check 'em out! itch.io/s/154748/und...

Mockery is a legitimate form of protest and people underestimate how much bigots hate it.

Counterpoint, D&D being the presumed lingua franca of the hobby means that absolutely every other rpg is a legit alternative to suggest.

It’s frankly amazing to be in a creative scene that habitually tells each other what they get out of each other’s art, and to know that people are picking up what you’re putting down.

Artists, it looks like Adobe might be doing very questionable things at the moment by auto-enrolling you into a more expensive AI-heavy "pro" plan (potentially even charging you for opting out after the fact, which I should hope is illegal). Be vigilant 🧵 see further posts below

Apocalypse World finale is live!! This is one of our best episodes ngl rss.com/podcasts/tab...

Someone asked about how they are using this prep prompt for NPC's in the Apocalypse World: Burned Over Discord. And I wrote the following: 1/5ish #ApocalypseWorld #TTRPG

I love this game so much.

I was today years old when I realized that it's May and there are 31 days in it, not June and there are only 30.

Just restocked 50 free copies of Collectible Trading Moon Game. Get 'em while they last.

Yay! I just remembered that for this game I'm working on, this morning I get to make a spreadsheet! (non-ironic)

I had a funny conversation with somebody once, years ago, on a different website. They were like, Look, PbtA creators, let's get together and standardize our names for things! and I was like, If we're voting, I'm voting against!

When you see a young person struggling to express their own self as truly and as beautifully as they can, you rush ahead of them to sweep obstacles out of their way. You fight FOR them. What on earth is wrong with us.

Respect your kids’ privacy and autonomy as much as you can.

Hi what are your favorite playbooks from a pbta game
