Im sure there are more annoying sounding lawnmowers than what my neighbors have sacrificed in being, but its tough to imagine. The constant pitch and tone changes. The way it gets louder just as you start to ignore it. Repeatedly stopping just long enough to get your hopes up. Symphony of horror 🤬🤬🤬

New free game alert! "Posting Through It" A playful futures game that explores how social media has redefined what it means to “win” and “lose” in uncertainty. I co-designed Posting Through It with @randylubin.com, so grab it over at his Itch page: randylubin.itch.io/posting-thro...

So, on 29th August, the US is ending de minimis treatment for parcels under $800 value globally. It's already done this for China; now it's going to come in for everyone. If you post parcels to America, this is going to affect you, in one of several ways.

August's free 1-page RPG is It Didn't Say Anywhere In The Rules That A Dog COULDN'T Play Basketball, a harrowing experience of being beaten at sports by a golden retriever that shows up 30 years later to ruin your second wedding. Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/136764...

Day 2 sharing teaser #HistoryPix for "Inventing the Renaissance" (out in one month!). Often in Florence one sees buildings like this, where one section is rough stone standing out amid stucco neighbors. It's actually a remnant of the old Guelph-Ghibelline feuds that so long rocked Medieval Italy 1/?

Been really enjoying Opulent Syntax. Collection of Irish spec fic by Neon Hemlock. Not quite done yet, but so far its been a lovely mix of beautiful, disturbing, and elegiac. Quiet and sharp, haunting. Plus its introduced a bunch of new to me authors I need to drown my tbr in 🖤💖

Friday’s good. October 1st is better. 📅 Art and System: Games for Expanded Play launches on BackerKit—featuring Princess with a Cursed Sword, Dog Eat Dog, and The Mountain Witch. ##CMichPress #IndieGames #Games #Gaming

Now with some excellent commentary and unreasonably kind words from @sidneyicarus.bsky.social ! 💖

Layla writes a beautiful response to Yochai Gal's Beyond the Pale, but she also leaves out the most important analysis that came out of our play session.

Finally starting up Alien Earth. Ship crashes into high rise go investigate is such a great setup 🖤😱

Forget everything. Open the windows. Clear the room. The wind blows through it. You see only its emptiness, you search in every corner and don't find yourself.

Sure, why not. Lets play the how I earned my credit card debt game 🤷‍♀️ 1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library. (And quote this, #ttrpysky. I want to know what's in your TTRPG library too!)

Fantastic news and an incredibly huge deal. Play Swords Without Master and watch any biases you have about what a fantasy rpg should look like get swept away. Also just a straight up wonderful game 💖

Reblusking this one because, well, here's the deal. Swords Without Master has been in issue 3 of Worlds Without Master for ~10,000 years. And it's time. It's just time for it to leave the nest. Time for it to find its own way in the world. So we're gearing up for a new, stand-alone edition.

got carried away with this color study and probably should've just spent this time starting the final piece 🙃

Beyond the Pale Last night I finished a 3 session run of Beyond the Pale by Yochai Gal, a decidedly Jewish Cairn adventure centered on the shtetl of Kest. Theres a ton of interesting things worth talking about in this one, and it will be spoiler heavy by necessity. Lets dive in!

Game was a joy! I dont think Ive laughed that hard or that much in a very long time. Im exhausted and need to crash, but please yell at me if I dont write a thread about it tomorrow(today?). Have a lot of thoughts and feels, about what works(most of it) and a couple nasty gm frustrations.

Final session of Beyond the Pale tonight! Its been a fun ride. Its been a hot minute since Ive run a game, and its been a pleasure to come back to it with good friends. Its got a lot of interesting choices and I have lots and lots of thoughts

Watching The Rocketeer cause its nice to see Nazis get punched

Making arrests isn't the point. It's effective at normalizing large numbers of feds on the street along with the military. It's the boiled frogs method of implementing martial law.

Bork Morgue: Undead Doggos on the mean streets of Galgenbeck. Solving neighborhood crimes and getting pets. The zine I really should finish for next zine month. Kid friendly Mork Borg, immortal dogs. Generative little one shot mysteries from the weird and mostly friendly locals. Tale wags the dog 🕵️‍♀️🐶
