OVER/UNDER felt like this for me a lot of the time

A little over a year ago, I wrote about treasure over on my Substack. I've updated that post and added a *lot* more detail, pretty much doubling the length of the original. Read it. Or don't, I'm not your dad. natewhittington.com/better-treas...

Art is not better if it is easier to understand. Art is not more virtuous if it is more difficult to understand. Legibility is one of the ways art can be artful. Being obtuse or straightforward is an artistic choice; playing with understanding in this way is an essential part of the toolset. 2/

Just found out about IGPX, and I'm shocked that an anime with such a cool concept managed to slip under my radar for so long. It apparently had a few runs on American Toonami (AND a PS2 game), but it was never aired here in Brazil. The mech races are SO fun!

Huge update! The basic rules are live and you can play the game with updatable playsheets! Check it out now~

It's time.

@grinningrat.bsky.social argues that treasure isn't just currency, it's change. let it carry status, influence, and power. make it precious grinningrat.substack.com/p/skip-the-g...

Next week I’m releasing IRON & BLOOD, the inaugural January playtest packet for INHERITOR, my dark fantasy RPG. Core rules, lifepath character gen, a demo region, treasures, and spells - all in the first of monthly playtests as we build toward release. Excited for folks to tear it apart. 🗡️

I wrote a game in ~8 hours. It's not fun, but it exists. Experience being a young person in the alt-right pipeline, and what it's like getting out of it. Content warnings listed on the page. ambynavy.itch.io/black-ice

Stuff then, stuff now, stuff coming soon.

A gift, for the festive season, my first ever an OSR. You can tell its an OSR because its made entirely out of offcuts from B2 The Keep on the Borderlands. Its compatible with many games and also incompatible with at least 3, probably. juniperc.itch.io/bn-2-the-kee...

This year I ran my first TTRPG crowdfunding campaign. I wrote a post collecting the tools, resources, and essays that genuinely helped us run Ravaged by Storms for Pirate Borg, followed by an interview with @grinningrat.bsky.social on building momentum and community during a campaign. #OSR #NSR

This week, we’re talking about… getting to the point 📝! So, so many RPGs go on and on as if they’re being paid by the word. Which, fair, you might think. Except, isn’t there someone you’re forgetting to ask? THE READER. AND THE POOR PEOPLE THEY HAVE TO EXPLAIN THIS TO. Let’s try to fix this.

Thank you @grinningrat.bsky.social for having us on your channel! Nate asked me to talk about the (brief) history of Golem Productions, crowdfunding RPGs, our Pirate Borg adventure, and where we’re heading. Enjoy! #OSR #NSR #TTRPG grinningrat.substack.com/p/interview-...

You already know this is gonna be a banger.

Over the course of the month I drew a portrait or 2(hundred) in #over/under and called them 🩸HEADSHOTS🩸 And @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com said he might put them in the Mothership app so now you can all apply gentle pressure to that situation too! lol drive.google.com/drive/folder...

i will be fine in several hours but i bounced off godot again today and since i don't understand everything immediately i'm cranky and will never be good at anything

Silly

#over/under: I've not had a chance to grieve a lot of the people I lost in my life, so Millie getting to grieve her toxic lesbian crush was a really nice experience. o7 MAA Cabral

guys I’m sorry but have you looked through Getty images for yesterday 💀

A VOR ON HIS VORSE

THEY BUILT A STATUE OF THE VOR! @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social drew the statue!! What!! #over/under

Eight Short of a Dozen, my project for Mausritter Month, is live now on BackerKit. I'm also doing a cross-collab with Roach Motel (which is also my project). www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n... www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

#over/under right now

Most players won't ever see it but the mod and admin team behind #over/under are honestly doing an amazing job. This game is full on at times and the level of communication and care in the boss channels from @samsorensen.bsky.social, @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com and co is great.

Today was Cabral's last day in #OVER/UNDER. She spoke with friends. Sat in a garden. Gave up her titles. Broke up with her girlfriend. Sent someone a gun. Made her peace. Waited for her ride.

Been having a *lot* of tears in the rain moments with #over/under these past 24 hours, finding that I'm immensely and deeply moved constantly; sometimes with it only *really* hitting hours after the fact. Fantastic shit, no notes (actually I may write a post about death in rpgs, so stay tuned).

#over/under: Today we lost a fuckin real one, Millies gonna miss Cabral, thanks @grinningrat.bsky.social for some of the best rp I've ever had, Cabral was incredible to bounce off of. And thank you for perfectly shattering millie, violent action or burning hearts.

Bsky PSA: Post with intention, post with energy dynamics in mind

(I think this is not even everyone) #over/under

#OVER/UNDER two days ago i tried to kill the sestra juniper. to be fair she did ask for it.

Continued to be in the pits of an utter brain rewiring, vomited out over a thousand words about #over/under last night and finally set up a blog just specifically so I could post about it, so I inflict unto you: jayhawking.substack.com/p/living-the...

To think that @lukegearing.bsky.social as Beefstink is actually the more normal of the cowboys is a fascinating (horrifying) realization. #OVER/UNDER

haha ha ha HA HA AHHHHHHH

Day 4 (I think?) of #over/under @chrisair.itch.io making weird posters for the bosses (boss faces by @amandalee.bsky.social )

Day I don't even know anymore of #over/under

Latest batch of #over/under avatars!

#OVER/UNDER the Bratva ball, a recap: - I got to be the pursuent lover in a quasi-regency drama - got some love advice from the friendzone - got a back door deal that may change the dream entirely - stumbled into a three way verbal war (of very gay romance RP) - against all odds, got the girl

The bratva ball may just be one of the greatest gaming experiences of my life, and knowing that that whole channel has been archived is going to tear me apart in the most beautiful *tears in the rain* way You've done it again #Over/Under, you absolute bastard game
