I'm still so excited to have my first book in my hands. I gotta think about what I'm putting on the sketch cover. I can't wait for the rest of the shipment to arrive!

This is an amazing and very comprehensive list that I'd recommend folks check out, starting with @forta-ver.bsky.social who is not only a fantastic player, but also an incredible artist!

"Oh boy, I really need to clean out this pantry" I say, as I throw another box and several recyclable shopping bags on the shelf. #adhd

Awww yeah! I've paid my editor (The amazing @daydreamcomix.com ) and paid the first half of my artist partner's rates (The Inimitable @jennyodioart.bsky.social !) and that means The N.E.T.W.O.R.K. Man: Genesis is officially in production!

Wow, I'm beyond chuffed! Thank you @tabletopartsfund.org I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the judges comments, and am very appreciative of this opportunity, and the support you're giving to game designers. 🤩❤️

Source of Dreams by Sekayi Edwards is a divinatory storytelling TTRPG that blends introspection with reflective practice. Players journey across an allegorical hex map, using narrative prompts rooted in psychology and personal growth to explore the path toward a meaningful life goal.

Runecycle by @hiskih.fi blends OSR minimalism with modern narrative design, casting the player as the wielder of a Rune. This fragment of creation can defy fate -- use it to explore Monumnents in search of a way to break the cycle in this fast, melancholic journey inspired by GRIS and Neva.

Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

Our inaugural TTRPG Developer Grants brought in 138 submissions from 16 countries. We'll let you know who the judges selected tomorrow -- but first, here's look at who applied. 📊⬇️

Finally! After much deliberation and (too) many rounds of emails, our judges have decided on the winners for the 2025 Tabletop Arts Fund TTRPG Grants! We'll be announcing the good news on Sunday, June 15th. Thanks for all your patience! We're looking forward to celebrating five outstanding works!

This is heartbreaking. 💔😞

Blue Beetle was incredible! I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching it.

I'm rewatching Ghost Rider and all I can think about is how I want to watch Spawn instead. 😂 Spawn is top tier, and I'll always be obsessed.

I made myself some cheese toast and somebody is trying (and failing) to grift a piece. 😆

Me getting ready to join the ranks and defend Korra from the haters. #tlok #avatarkorra

It's my birthday today, so I treated myself to some birthday nails. They don't look flashy right now, but the goal is to grow these babies out. When they're stiletto length, I'll be keeping the translucent white and adding a red to black gradient on the tips.

Cobra Kai wrapped itself up so nicely that I had to watch the last four episodes twice. 🥹🥰

Ummm, where can I find a replica of this jacket? Asking for a friend. 😆🤩

Mentoring 2025, let's go! 🤩🤩🤩

💡 GM idea 💡 Get your players to lean into tracking and using their components for spells by tying it in with the political and economical landscape of your world. As they explore the world, make certain materials unavailable to them due to over farming, drought, natural disasters etc. 🧵

Some belated snaps from our first game night of 2025! We played Wyrmspan, and had a lot of fun. I'd also like to take a moment to appreciate just how beautiful the art is, and how tight the mechanics are. 🤩 #wyrmspan #tabletopgames #gamedesign

We have a neighbourhood deer and she's the sweetest girl. She's also obsessed with my dog (that makes two of us). 🦌❤️

Am I imagining things or did Bluesky used to have an edit button that's no longer around? 🤔🧐

Cthylla on the computer. I didn't have the heart to move her this time (this is the third day in a row I've caught her snoozing on my PC). #eldritchkitty

Goodnight

Felt cute, might delete later.

Puppy post! Pascal loves his sticks. 💕

I'm so proud of my garden this year. Here are some photos of my dwarf Fig 🌿😁

I have a picture of a cartoon Vampire and the words 'High society tea party'. 😆 #gamedesign

Currently in research mode for a game that's in the works! I have a pretty long list of books to get through, but I'm starting with these two. 🤓 #gamedesign #seriousgames

It's important to drink your brain juice from a special mug 😌☕

I'm continuously amazed at how the animated Castlevania series hits the mark every single time. Castlevania Nocturne is truly a work of art. ❤️

Guess what I'll be streaming on my Twitch channel tonight? A fan made Monkey Island adventure! #twitch #boozeofmonkeyisland

My latest Ko-fi and Patreon member posts are now live! This week, I share my understanding of using the MDA framework for game analysis and design. www.patreon.com/posts/analys... ko-fi.com/post/Analysi...

Hey Australian artist and creative industry friends; does anyone want to recommend to me an accountant that could answer some questions about charity fundraising?

Had to share this cause it annoys me. DS9 faced tons of hate, including racism. Watch the What We Left Behind doc for proof. Avery Brooks fought racism behind the scenes & even had to defend Cirroc Lofton after a security guard harassed him near set. Don’t rewrite history. Only Sisko can do that.
