I’ve decided my “dream D&D group” is now The Muppets. I want to DM the muppets playing D&D/TTRPG of choice. I want Miss Piggy to get mad at me for rolling a Crit against her. I want Kermit to bust out a lil’ bardic ditty when he uses Bardic Inspo. I want Gonzo to cast Fireball.

Altheya; The Dragon Empire - Campaign Setting Book made alongside Roll & Play Press! KS Coming very early next year. Bright, Hopeful, Classic High Fantasy, built from a place of love and passion for the genre. NO AI. Human writers, Human artists. #ttrpg #dnd rollandplaypress.com/highrollers

Thanks everyone who came by stream tonight. It was very needed. <3 I'm sorry I haven't done it more this year, or kept on top of Patreon stuff, or made YT content. The last two years have been very tough personally, it has affected me more than I think I knew at the time.

Nothing much to do on a Saturday night, bored of doing taxes and writing scripts, so jumping on Twitch to stream some cozy Minecraft. <3 twitch.tv/markhulmes

We're finally playing Blood on the Clocktower IRL - and we rented out a mansion to do it! The first game is officially premiering on the Yogscast YouTube channel now.

"This shit isnt going away" is such a moronic thing to say. They are pushing ai in every part of our lives because they NEED their investments to work. The billionaires need ai to work. It's wildly unpopular, they are hoping we roll over and take it.

I've been asked for information about UK-based researchers with interest in TTRPGs and Actual Play. I have a half-dozen names off the top of the dome, but would be happy to hear of more to pass along for Schemes.

So utterly disappointed in Larian/Swen to hear that they have incorporated AI into their process, but *especially* in Concept Art. That is a role so many illustrators and artists would love to have, and could bring so much creative passion, joy, experience and expression too.

Genuinely SO heartbroken that Larian is using GenAI shit in their games. I don't give a damn if it'll be in the final game! I don't give a damn if you're "not trimming teams to replace them with AI" you are deliberately not paying a person whose job it is to do stuff like concept art!?!?! AHGHHDVWJH

I don't know why the idea of developing concept art with AI is somehow meant to convince us that AI isn't replacing creative professions, when concept art is one of the single most creative and imaginative parts of the entire development process.

This was an absolute blast to be a part of! Can't wait for folks to see the whole thing!

A mysterious night at a mansion. An unexpected murder. Can our townsfolk solve the mystery of whodunnit before it's too late? We're finally playing Blood on the Clocktower IRL! The first game releases on the Yogscast channel this Friday, December 19th.

The only barrier to playing TTRPGS is the requirement of not being an asshole. Respect for the table, the GM, your fellow players, the game you’re playing. Understanding, empathy, willingness to collaborate and have fun. From that beautiful things can happen. ❤️

As a theatre kid approaching 40 years old, I can PROMISE you that theatre kids have been in the ttrpg scene/community for longer than the last decade. Me and my high school pals were playing the same way back then as I, the HighRollers/CR/other APs are playing now. Love this hobby. ❤️❤️

A brand new BOTC in Minecraft is out on the @yogscast channel and it's one of my favourites!! Had an absolute blast in this one. <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AOr...

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

I can't see an AI generated games/movies/books winning 9+ industry/community awards. Will the execs and corpos and creatively defunct silicon valley money men understand that? Or care? Probably not. But it's nice to feel positive about the creative space for a moment. :)

There's nothing more terrifying than a brussels sprout. Jingle Jam veterans @highrollersdnd.bsky.social are absolutely smashing it this year - they've raised over £20,000 so far for CALM, with more streaming and fundraising to come this weekend!

We’re deeply honored that HADES II is in the running for Game of the Year and more at #TheGameAwards tonight, especially since we’re in the company of such an amazing group of wildly different and beautiful games. Congratulations to all our fellow nominees — we salute you!! 🙏👏

Happy place :)

These have been hitting a bit TOO hard lately... (Love them though)

We're two weeks away from Jingle Jam...which means we're two weeks away from announcing our best Games Collection ever. For now, though, it's still a secret - all will be revealed December 1st!

Got to have some nice girly time this weekend. Friday and Saturday in London, out for dinner and drinks, a fancy hotel with big luxurious bath to soak in, shopping, and a few self indulgent selfies (some too 🌶️ to share publicly hahah). So much love. ❤️

The girly good feel when you do a perfect face shave. 💖🥰 Buttery smooth. Well moisturised. No nicks. A perfect canvas.

Head's up - I'm planning to open commissions for Patrons in a week or so! If you'd like to see a character in my style, please consider supporting my work! 🎨

So happy to hear about Mayor Mamdani’s win in NYC! Some other dem wins over there too, and with the UK Green Party and Zack making waves over here, a small part of me is beginning to believe there’s still hope. That not everyone has forgotten kindness and empathy and fairness. ❤️

Going live on twitch.tv/highrollersdnd for new episode of HighRollers!! Battle in the Feyweald! #dnd #ttrpg #highrollersdnd
