The grittier remake

HEARTBREAKING: Plastic die gets put in dice jail for doing its job of rolling random numbers by person who thinks dice are "out to get them".

UP NEXT ON GAME MASTER MONDAY We play GOOD SOUP by @goosepoopgames.com Funny little woodland creatures go on an adventure to obtain the perfect ingredients for their perfect soup! Coming later in the day TOMORROW wherever you enjoy podcasts!

Y'all come play Daggerheart with me 🥺 startplaying.games/gm/sadie

In a time where too much has happened and so many fruiting trees have been burned down, this win is the comfort of green roots and a refrain of "the trying matters"

Went down a rabbit hole of birds of prey classification with @bairdlytrying.games and the conclusion we came to is thus: We really want to get together sometime with some friends for a PowerPoint presentation party on various topics that could be useful for GMing Any of y'all interested?

2025 for me felt like a year of process. While I do have some achievements to show for it (or for work done in 2024), a lot of it has been work that I will be building on into 2026 💖

We're nothing if not remarkably consistent. Congrats to all our performers in Rally and SGS!

It’s this. This is the official announcement.

You are a traveler in the space between atoms. Ask a question about the universe, or yourself. Roll a handful of dice from your messiest dice bag. If any have the same result, your answer (whether it is true or not) echoes across space and time with rippling effects. 1/2

...dang it, I got another idea for a ttrpg

My AP goal for 2026 is to experiment and to push my understanding and handle on the medium. I also want to connect with more people and deepen friendships and professional relationships.

Okay, let's talk goals! I won't talk QueerXP goals, because our team has to set those soon! My AP goals are: - Be a player in a mini-series/short campaign - Host 6 live shows (PAX East / Unplugged / Local) - Apply for more opportunities in the AP space - Grow @qapguild.bsky.social to 300 ppl

One day, the people who wanted to see you fail will tell people around them that they always knew you could succeed. And the thing about it is...I think they do know you can succeed - no matter how hard they try to quash your dreams.

10 TTRPGS I want to play/run in 2026 - Dialect - Daggerheart (already planning on running it, but I'd love to play too!) - Moriah (it's been on my list a while) - Shinobigami - 10 Candles - Defy the Gods - Eyes on the Prize - Triangle Agency - Bluebeard's Bride - Rom Com Drama Bomb

Huge congrats to @emilygreymoore.bsky.social, @cinderblocksally.bsky.social, @craiggumz.bsky.social, @samolivr.bsky.social, @ddungeondiving.bsky.social, @oakleafinsignia.games, and @pcperini.com

Some award nominations from Hollywood Series 2025 to wrap up the year: Rally: Best Overall Actual Play, Best Game Master Small Gods Scatter: Best Overall Actual Play, Best Ensemble Cast, and Best Comedy/Drama

I know this is about That One Game, but it's also a great reason to listen to Know Gods, No Afters by @theheartisadungeon.bsky.social and Strangers in the Wood by @talesyettold.com tbh

It appears to be the season of shameless self promotion so here we go: Let me and/or @zoupmachine.bsky.social GM for you/play on your channels next year We’re both award nominated idiots who like one shots and miniseries and can do any genre/mood you throw at us (that’s kinda our thing at gmm)

I wanna tack onto this if I can: “Rising tides raises all ships. Some ships will rise higher than others.” Your success may directly lead to someone seeing MORE success than you And if that prospect doesn’t fill you with you and excitement, don’t bother building the boat

We've lost the plot of where western fantasy came from. Almost every piece of fantasy writing that inspired D&D was explicitly written as anti-war and most were anti-industrialization. Misinterpreting Japanese culture is one thing but misinterpreting your own is peak loser behavior.

🥹 10,000!!! Thank y'all so much!

Know God's, No Afters, is some of my favorite sound design I've done. And definitely not helping me beat the 'this dude is a psychedelic muppet' allegations.

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...

I'm so bad at picking favorites...but I'm currently listening to Daisy Chainsaw 🌼

Next Monday is the release of my first AP Podcast appearance. And of course, I’m incredibly grateful it’s with @thequeerxp.bsky.social This Pod has meant a lot to me over the past year and working with this group of creatives is honestly amazing. Stay tuned everyone! December 22nd! ✨

You still have 5 hours to sign up for tonight's game! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

BROKE: there are clear divisions and differences between background and resultant style, we are not the same and will never be the same WOKE: heehoo story fun 😊

Sitting over here in the AP space with a book in hand and TV tropes up on a tab peering out at the theatre and improv GMs and players like, "yes...we are related somehow"

Our Wednesday Daggerheart campaign is meeting tomorrow to adjust for the holiday crunch, and there are slots left ($25/session)! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Six is a TTRPG created by Alice Poole @feypop.com Cast includes: • Anna Eliza - linktr.ee/locallvluplady • Danielle - www.tumblr.com/fluffymcsnug... • Jellyfish - jellyfishlines.carrd.co • Serafina - thestreamingrainbow.com • Wren - @masquewren.bsky.social GM’d by @oakleafinsignia.games

✨RELEASE DAY✨ This week, we are headed to a festival with our magical teens! Dream of rolling down a hill, fight ageism, and learn that incompetency has a father. So, get bundled up, grab yourself a horchata (Or your magical drink of choice) and give a listen to our latest one shot of Six!

As a player, I've always taken seriously the audience I've been asked to make something for – but I also take seriously the fact that *I've* been asked to make something for the audience, and it would be inauthentic to not bring myself to the creation, and disrespectful to the trust offered.

I'm recording an all-drag ep of The QueerXP tonight, and one of our guests had to drop out. This is a hyper-specific request, but if anyone out there is free at 8pm Eastern for a game of Trans Vampire Cowboys.. AND is a BIPOC drag performer... please shoot me a message!

I don't know if this will actually surprise anyone, but... I don't really like most holiday/Christmas movies

Anyone else really love a good session 0?

It's a festival, what could go wrong?

Session 0 for my upcoming Daggerheart campaign is tonight and we have two spots left! Session 0 is free btw ✨ startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

I told Ryan that for my birthday I’d like the non-redacted Epstein Files to be leaked so I could spend the night watching the spiral but if he can’t get that a Lego set or a book off my wishlist is okay, I guess.

While APs may be the most visible part of the #ttrpg space, they are only a small part of the whole. Support the creators of worlds and games like you do those who play in them publicly. Find out who made that game or setting you love and spread the word, tell them you love their work.

I’ve literally asked on more than one occasion “name non-cis-dudes who you would cite as an Authority in this space” and… whew. It doesn’t help that we’re missing midcareer & elders thanks to the horrors that began a decade+ ago & are still ongoing in games more broadly, & many other griefs.

I wish the ttrpg space took intellectual content from femme creators as seriously as y'all do ideas from cis white men in the space.

Coming up next for ✨ Magical Teens December ✨ Things seem to be getting a little hot and heavy for our band of punk teens. Get ready to meet a band that parties just as hard as they slay demons in Daisy Chainsaw! EPISODE PUBLIC RELEASE: December 8th Episode is now available on our Patreon!!

Sadie's 2025 wrapped: I dunno, I did a lot of stuff. Played lots of games, 50+ sessions. Only 11 were 5e (my home game that hasn't finished up) Successfully crowdfunded Fortune Favors Dice! A series I was in won an award! I became co-host for The QueerXP 😊 All in all a good year

Hi Hello! We are getting DANGEROUSLY close to TEN THOUSAND DOWNLOADS... so you know.. go tell a friend to give us a listen and see if we can hit it by the end of the year! Thanks for all the support! -Eric

Embarrassingly, I have not listened to this episode yet – I have a couple of recordings coming up and I don't want to make myself anxious! But you should definitely listen it, andddd 🤫 I heard that something wild happens in one of @falconwizard.bsky.social 's episodes coming up, so keep an eye out!
