Well. I've put my name in with an organiser at PAX Aus and offered to run games of Draw Steel. Hoping I get the chance to introduce this game to more Melbournians.

Incredibly happy to announce that "Riam's Tears: A Faction Based Toolkit for Directors" is NOW AVAILABLE for preorder online! #drawsteel @sammcgurran.bsky.social , @abol-tabol.bsky.social , @goatnokama.bsky.social and I have been working for MONTHS on this, we can't wait to see what you think 🧵

There's a seat open in my Wednesday afternoon Draw Steel Against Strahd game! Slay vampires, make friends, explore Gothic mysteries, and bring life and joy back to a cursed land. The party just finished up the first arc of the campaign—perfect time to get in on the fun! Wednesdays 2PM Pacific:

You know why I like Thursdays? Cos it means I get to listen to the Eldritch Lorecast on the drive home. Bit of a palate cleanser from learning about Rhodesia for the past couple of days.

The opinions are getting spicy! I'm putting some delightful content creators through their TTRPG paces at @pixelexpo.bsky.social in 45 days. Your opinions, their understanding of the audience, Family Feud style If you've got 5 minutes to add your opinions to the pot - forms.gle/vk8yQXcqUFkB...

Hey! quick shout out to @jondenor.com for letting me know there was a problem with the tables on my Gauntlet of Champions Delve PDF. If you've purchased it, go back in and download the new version where the tables aren't all smashed together. rpg-trader.com/products/454...

So in the wake of the release of the Supergirl movie and the discourse around it, I wanted to say - I reckon it's a good movie. It's not perfect nor amazing. But it was great at doing its own thing.

Time for another VtM word of the week! Vicissitude is a word that has been through many changes, from its root in the Latin “vicis” and then “vicissim” and then “vicissitudo”… . #vamily #wordoftheweek #vampirethemasquerade #ttrpgwords

An unexpected stellar flare strikes your colony, threatening total annihilation! Race against time to find a critical resource, confront shadowy saboteurs and decipher mysterious communications. Into the Flames is available! tinyurl.com/s8jnetcb #ttrpg #dnd #rpg

Decided to invest in lots of skeletons for the summoner in my Draw Steel campaign.

i do not wish the game industry a "shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less." i wish the game industry a "unionize and redistribute capital equitably"

Got to see Supergirl last night here in Melbourne. As a big fan of DC and the Superman/Supergirl comics, its really nice to see them make great *superhero* movies based on those comics. I can't wait to see more of these kinda movies. The cast do a great job bringing these characters to life.

Funny how it’s always the people who actually worked at the studio and not the select few who are responsible for all its poor decisions

Double the dice, double the memory loss, double the fun! We've bundled up with our friends @fellowtraveller.games to bring you this epic Citizen Ebb Bundle for 35% off! 🎲 Check it out: store.steampowered.com/bundle/78750...

Gol training session at early morning for DrawSteel in collaboration with MCDM Once again, thank you for the trust and guidance of AD Grace Cheung!

In the Draw Steel Codex, you can now easily adjust monster levels to make them more challenging for your party. Learn all about it in this weeks video: youtu.be/e2en4oPjNDs?...

Played a bit of Dust Front RTS last night. Definitely reminds me of the good ol' days of RTS games like Command and Conquer and Total Anihilation. If you're big into these kinda games, highly recommend. Indie dev too. store.steampowered.com/app/2610770/...

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

Been wanting to read this one myself for a while. I got most of the info for it though when Schreier was on a podcast I listen to. I think at some level, this book drives home that at some point, broadly speaking, the money guys gained more power than the creative guys at Blizzard.

@magpiegames.bsky.social's award-winning "Masks: A New Generation" teen superhero RPG is getting a new second edition. We suit up and go up, up and away with all the details. ttrpgfans.com/masks-a-new-... #magpiegames #MasksRPG #ttrpg #tabletoprpg

Perfect for a Draw Steel campaign like mine with plenty of interactional/political intrigue and plotting.

Let's Draw Steel! DM or email ([email protected]) if interested in playing THE RED ROAD. Thursdays. 7/9 and 7/16. 8pm to midnight EDT. Characters: L2, Pregen or Bring Your Own Discord/Roll20 Race through the winter wood and find the power to defeat the ravenous horde!

Just realized that Hope Springs Eternal is now an Emerald bestseller on Heart of Daggers! Now that books have shipped to backers, DM me if you want one of my extra copies! heartofdaggers.com/products/hop...

@triglavananam.bsky.social just closed our #drawsteel crowdfunder more than %400 funded!! I am utterly grateful and humbled. Thank you all so much for the support, and here's to some kickass adventures! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t...

I just backed The Withering War on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/twi...

Well damn. Turns out Crows is already in the Codex. youtu.be/RvRDSV4FLC0?...

Less than 48h to back Until the Last Villain Dies! Check it out here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... #DrawSteel ⚔️ #TTRPG #RPG

I got Cory Doctorow's latest book - "The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI" ready to play for my morning commutes for the next two weeks or so. His book that coined the term "enshittification" was also an amazing.... listen, i guess? Cos it was an audio book.

We're embracing our roots & taking part in the Baltic Showcase from now until 21 June! Thank you to Steam for the extra showcasing ❤

‼️ Last chance to back Until the Last Villain Dies! We dropped our final update before our crowdfunding campaign is over, today showcasing 💀 Grave Matter 💀, our skeletal rules supplement for Draw Steel! ⚔️🦴 See it here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/t... #DrawSteel Please repost for visibility! Thanks!

Good progress with the manticore tonight. Drybrushing is my friend. Definitely needs a dark wash at the end of all this though.

RPG tip from the archive: Take the time to read about the lore of a character's background or origin. Are they elvish? Read the lore about the Fey. Do they have a connection to the Shadowfell? Read about the history of Shadar-Kai. #dnd #ttrpg

Big update here, folks. Check it out!

Let's chat about DARK HEART OF THE WOOD! youtube.com/live/eU_C1jz...

*spongebob voice* IM DOING IT IM DOING IT

I'll tell you what, Valheim has been great to play. Between prep for the campaign and working on ttrpg stuff (for publishing or just random games), it's got the right mix of stuff for me. Sometimes I'm building my new idea for a tavern and the next I'm screaming and running through the Ashlands.

Feels like I haven't posted in a while. Most of my free time has been going into running a playtest campaign for Huntsman, among other 3rd party classes. And admittedly, Path of Exile 2 😅 No big updates, just lots of things stewing. Both for Huntsman and future projects.

I dunno who pitched the idea of a "Disco-like" game in the VtM setting... but that person/group deserves a lot of praise. I think this style of game is going to be a perfect fit for the sort of games the fans of this setting want. www.pcgamer.com/games/were-g...

My latest book, Rise of the Lazy Gamemaster is coming to Kickstarter in July! Follow now and be notified! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sly...

Second Wind has hit a major milestone today as we surpass 100,000,000 video views in less than three years as a company! Thanks to everyone who has watched and supported us as we close in on celebrating our third anniversary in November! (Not the whole team pictured)

This is a cat checkpoint: relinquish your most recent cat picture Máni- named after the Norse/Germanic aspect/deity of the moon (she had big grey eyes as a kitten).

The "wing striation" streaking kinda worked. Better on the topside of the wings than the bottom side. But for a first attempt and a way to texturise the wings - I reckon it's a job well done.

Totally down for this. youtu.be/MCg5A1Jupi0?...

1. Billionaire and anti-trans activist Elon Musk has confirmed that he bought twitter, in part, because of his trans daughter Vivian. This is the first direct confirmation from Musk. He has since used it to wage war against transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Come hang out and talk Crows with @d20play.bsky.social and me! youtube.com/live/FEkbx6z...

What's that? Finish the other thing you need to paint? No no no no that's not how this works. So I've started painting another one. This manticore is for my upcoming Draw Steel game. Gonna try and new layering technique with the wings when it's ready.

My copy of Blade Runner: Replicant Rebellion from Free League finally arrived! I've run the system many times, usually at cons or local gaming groups. I can 100% recommend for anyone either: into a cyberpunk noire sort of game or if you love the movies.

Some good progress with the giant green soul crystal. I reckon I did a good job with the blending. Need to work on making the gold dirtier (probably a wash).
