Here's me. "Why the fuck would we 'socially cohere' for monsters?"

Folkstone's Luna. Some dialect of the valleys north of Bergamo. I'm Italian and I need subs, but it's beautiful.

Yesterday night I introduced my wife's cousin and his GF to #D&D via #BECMI because that's what I had at hand. He asked me to play D&D and realized it was an RPG about halfway into the introduction. A thread on paying with the purest newbies I've ever met.

Torniamo su quella 💩 di #PiracyShield? Sì, torniamo su quella 💩 di Piracy Shield con la perfetta intervista rilasciata al Sole24Ore dal CEO di #Cloudfare. www.ilsole24ore.com/art/prince-c...

Yesterday was the first day of Total Party Kon, the Italian OSR convention I organize. I have a lot of stories, but this picture marks the first appearance of FanX as a physical object and I want to share it.

LE PORTE SONO APERTE Non c'è molto altro da dire, quindi non lo diremo, vi ricordiamo solo cosa, come quando e dove. COSA: Due giorni di gioco, panel, cose OSRose. QUANDO: Sabato 22 e domenica 23 novembre 2025 DOVE: Alla Pieve di Cologno Monzese COME: vi iscrivete su prenotazioni.totalpartykon.it

"La mappa del Complesso tecnologico autoritario": così la Silicon Valley trumpiana allarga il suo potere - anche all'Europa. Ecco la prima mappatura del sistema della Big Tech trumpiana che punta alla "post-democrazia" www.repubblica.it/esteri/2025/...

Ready to play FanX a Casteldadia, a FREE gaming event inside an Italian Renaissance castle. If I'm lucky, it's also going to be the last time I have to print the damned manual at home.

2/ Agenda setting follows emotional and sensationalist patterns, but it is certainly under pressure from far right parties that have chosen to brand Kirk’s “martyrdom” as a watershed moment in their relationship with the left. To go along with this instrumentalization is madness.

1/ European media are devoting a disproportionate amount of attention to the assassination of a politician nobody in Europe had ever heard of, except for a few nerds, while giving almost none to the guilty verdict for a coup attempt in Brazil.

Grazie al lavoro dell'infaticabile Federico, #Cairn 2e è disponibile anche in italiano! Per ora solo formato web, il resto arriverà. it.cairnrpg.com/second-editi...

Vi avevamo avvisato, il TPK! sta tornando! La prima convention OSR italiana in presenza si è allargata di cintura e occupa la bellezza di 2 (DUE) giorni. CINQUE fasce di gioco, panel, workshop, quel che vi pare più il gioco libero. 🔗 www.totalpartykon.it Stay TPK!

I might be getting a tad old for 7+ hours protest marches, but it was worth it and I still managed to drag my ass across most of it. And now I need a lot of water (and maybe a beer or two).

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away. So don't let it go away. Keep it going. In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

Yep. Tolkien knew what he was doing. I don't agree with him about a lot of stuff, but the Shire is pretty clearly intended to be a reflection of both the positive and negative aspects of small town/rural life

my timeline is FULL of people using chatgpt to show how chatgpt is rubbish and seemingly not aware that by using it, even to dunk, is still boiling the frigging oceans. we get it, it's useless. you can stop now. you're not convincing anyone of anything we don't already know.

When politicians pass laws restricting "pornography," this is what they actually restrict: video games romantasy drag sex education healthcare LGBTQ+ sites young adult novels sexual assault resources dating apps contraception social media Wikipedia wifi access

This is an excellent read, and I really appreciate the new brain wrinkles.

That's a good idea! I'm booooored!

Today I cut off a lot of social media, because my brain can't keep up. I kept only platforms which make me feel good (like this) or which I have to use for work (like LinkedIn). The intersection is weird, nearly comical in its absurdity.

Boss. I'm tired boss. We been doing these experiments and studies since the 60s and 70s and the outcome has been the same in them all. The pushback against these measures aren't because they don't work. It's because they DO work and they'll include peoples they wish to exclude from society.

Another day, another mandatory work training on AI. Resisting the slop is a full time job...

Here's me trying to expand on the map creation part of FanX, the #Vampire #OSR game I released months ago. This could have reached the manual, but I didn't think about writing it until someone asked me to (and then it took me months to write the post). oicn.icu/2025/playing...

FanX is finally out! Get our new #osr #ttrpg about #vampires for whatever you want (even free!) at fallimento-assicurato.itch.io/fanx

A quanto pare ieri Nordio se ne è uscito reinventando il Satanic Panic alla Camera. Quindi possiamo vantarci che il GDR è 100% disapprovato da Nordio, come tutte le cose buone.

Stupid things to get stressed for: some months ago I joined the "culture & leisure" committee of my municipality, which is supposed to meet tomorrow, but I haven't received any notice and now I'm back in high school thinking the cool kids (who, in this case, look like my grandparents) excluded me.

All games generate stories as a byproduct. Play a board game & you absolutely will come away with a story. Even simple games like chess generate stories (“my knight sacrificed themselves for a swift end to war”). Is every game therefore a storytelling game? Or do humans just like to narrativize?

I know I should set a pfp, but I'm shit with them and normally use some random pictures, which usually are of my pets because I get photographed about once every decade. Even less when I have a say in it. Any idea of something better I could use?

It's gonna be tough, but let's try: D&D B/X Hell4Leather Beyond the Wall and Other Adventures Rinascimento 2e SCRAPCAT

The greatest trick the devil (5E) ever pulled was convincing the world that only he existed

Thinking about it, OSR games played with OSR principles aren’t about combat. But they are in the context of combat. Violence is a specter that haunts play, informing and shaping every decision made. Violence is both the most important thing and the thing we are least interested in.

@rrookstudio.bsky.social Hi! I'm sorry if this is not appropriate, but I've tried to use the contact form on your site for some time without it working. I have a question about the possibility of translating Sherwood, how can I contact you?

Allora, sono qui da poco, ma se siete comodi a viaggiare in Lombardia questo sabato a Cologno Monzese (MI) organizzo la terza edizione del TPK! Total Party Kon. Si gioca gratis, si mangia, si chiacchiera. Potete ancora iscrivervi su prenotazioni.totalpartykon.it #gdr #convention #osr

I'm Lorenzo, a #TTRPG author from Italy. I mostly write games and game content of the #OSR persuasion. Most of my work is in Italian, but some stuff (and future stuff) is in English. As a job, I write code. But I have other spaces to talk about work.
