It was my last night running the shop at the Factory location. Tomorrow we start the big move and it's going to be a whole lot of not fun. Then next Wednesday will my first night at the new location. That part I'm looking forward to. #ShopTalk

Instead of working on a game that I think other people will like. I'm going to work on a game that I want to run.

The governor of #Missouri is trying to push the "end state income tax" bill saying how it will help residents. But he is sure staying silent about this one part of the bill that will let them raise taxes everywhere else.

Well #StrangerThings caused a resurge in #DnD interest locally where I'm at. After that final episode aired we started having folks coming into the FLGS that I work at and asking about how to get started. Of course my recommendation is usually the current starter kit.

It's Tuesday, the day where I point out another blog worth checking out over on my blog. So who am I sending you to look at today? Well give a click and find out. #ttrpg #blogging trulyrural.blogspot.com/2026/01/that...

New: Police have released info about millions of surveillance targets nationwide from thousands of different police departments because of a public records redaction error in Flock data. Reveals active police investigations, border patrol & ICE targets, lots more: www.404media.co/police-unmas...

Dilbert creator, and transphobic rightwing nutjob jackass, Scott Adams has died. Now that's an obituary I read with great enthusiasm. Nothing of value has been lost. May go look up the 'Dilbert Hole' comics from rotten dot com in his dishonor.

Wargaming miniatures giant Games Workshop has banned the use of AI in its design processes, with CEO Kevin Rountree saying the £6bn business was strongly committed to protecting its IP and respecting its human creators: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

originaleditionadventures.wordpress.com/2026/01/12/a... My latest blog post, note that this is a filler post since I didn't have the spoons this week 2 work on my Gygax 75 challenge or #Dungeon26 project. That said, since I am on vacation I will do so asap. @ericklw.bsky.social @menion.bsky.social

Which means the occasional story you hear where everyone agrees to play undercover agents and Bob immediately rats everyone out and joins the bad guys because nobody tells him how to play a game he agreed to the theme of? That just the Ballad of Bob the Fucking Asshole Who's Never Been on a Railroad

Working extra hours at my job while the owner is putting in a lot of time getting the new location ready. I'm more than happy to do it but I'm feeling a bit drained mentally from dealing with people and constantly repeating myself about the upcoming move.

Here are ten quick magical automatic candle snuffers for your fantasy games. #ttrpg trulyrural.blogspot.com/2026/01/magi...

Well this is pretty cool. Especially the science they used to get a readable version. www.popsci.com/science/king...

This is all you need in order to run CRIME WAVE

I have to say that the #WaRP OGL from @atlasgames.bsky.social is one of my favorite systems. Heck I've used it in several of my releases through Truly Rural. However it really feels like I'm the only one that seems to care anymore. #ttrpg

Over on @drivethrurpg.com the five star rated #ttrpg "Synthicide" is the deal of the day! It's 80% off the regular price and is only 1.80. legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/2039...

Well I was in a good mood. Made a little extra off DrivethruRPG this last month. Got the electric bill in and price gouging Ameren just shot our budget billing up a hundred bucks a month. Which is WAY more than that little extra.

Good night everybody

One last call for help/input on this I'll be rolling the dice in the beginning of every video so it's better if the lists are mostly populated to start. Also, while I'll never run out of ideas, your idea might very well be something I wouldn't have come up with, and that's a good thing

Just a reminder, because everyone seems to have forgotten: Tumblr wants to or is actively selling your data: mashable.com/article/tumb...

Switched to T-Mobile internet. Suddenly a few sites I use give me "site can't be reached" issues. If I keep trying eventually it will go through and they'll start working. Sometimes this is five minutes, sometimes it's forty. I download Proton VPN and use it. Everything works fine with no problem.

While I'm working on some things today I'm once again listening to a local radio stations stream. #RadioSky www.1057thepoint.com/listen/

My latest blog post is about a group of NPC's in your modern day occult/supernatural type of games. Grave Robbers Inc, digging up work, for the right price. #ttrpg trulyrural.blogspot.com/2026/01/grav...

Oh my god, I just learned that @tinstargames.bsky.social has died. Many of us knew Steve: his drive to create TTRPGs like Relics, his activism and scathing criticism of bad actors, his many game reviews. The Aussie gaming community and the hobby at large has lost another prolific talent. 💔

What I see more limiting is "Oh, I get to roleplay a character that has all the charisma as... myself in real life". Not to mention that as a GM I don't want to roleplay out every single conversation the players have with the NPCs either. Sometimes a quick roll and move on is so much better.

This, 100% this.

I've been enjoying myself over on @neocities.org again, doing old style html webpage building. This time I've built a page for my little #ttrpg business. Figured Truly Rural could use something like this once again. trulyrural.neocities.org

Here are some ideas I came up with fourteen years ago for a Blade Runner inspired game. Was going to call it Replicant Society, and the PC's were replicants trying to survive and hide among humans. This particular bit was about emotional stress triggers #ttrpg trulyrural.blogspot.com/2026/01/repl...

Hey, a 'How to be a better player' that I didn't write. Also done without the snark that I usually throw in. Check this post out. #ttrpg publish.obsidian.md/improvgm/Imp...

After today there are only twelve more days before the #FLGS has it's last day at the current location. Then it's to a place with a bigger retail area, bigger game room, better building, MUCH better location. I'm counting the day until we get out of the dungeon and into the light.

Introduce yourself with something that almost killed you. Hi, I'm Covid.

Hey y’all. Did you resolve to support more human writers this year, untainted by AI madness? ‘Cause I’m making it easy and cheap. gregstolze.com/blog/2026/01...

I'll take the one I got as well.

My New Years Eve plans. Sit on my butt, do nothing. That's it, that's the plan.

Well here are my gaming resolutions for #2026. Wonder how I'm going to do on them this year? #ttrpg trulyrural.blogspot.com/2025/12/2026...
