It’s not every day you get served an ad for your own game! Shoutout to Noble Knight Games (@nobleknightgames.bsky.social) for having Doctors & Demons in stock and surprising me while I scroll online!

Finally completed the first session of The Wildsea! I can understand why it's such a popular indie TTRPG, it is so cool to sail on treetops with chainsaw ships 😁 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyQU...

WE DID IT!!!! 2 Days in MAPS & MISHAPS IS SUCCESSFULLY FUNDED!! 🎉 Thank you so much! 🥹

In tabletop game design the current vibe is no snacking, no Mountain Dew, 9-9-d6, fail forward, iterate otyughs, titanium playtest, random table spouse selection, carbon meeple

100 episodes, 2 years - I cannot believe how much every single guest, every game (and the designers behind them), and every single listener has meant to me. I remember the day I got this job so vividly, and this episode has been a love letter to the entire experience.

I saw this post and feel like this is a really important opportunity to talk about gender and my own background and the creation of Perils & Princesses and what it means to me as a personal piece of self-expression and as a communal piece of work as a role playing game community. 🧵

"passive consumers of unthought thoughts" is such an elegant way to put slop-eaters

You can find my new ancestry, the Oaklings, on Forge Steel! They have a weird ancestry trait, so there are technically two entries on Forge Steel (look for Gall Guardians). forgesteel.net

(mostly telling this to myself) It's okay to spend time on frivolity. It's essential to keep making things, to keep writing, drawing, painting, playing, creating. Art is resistance. I don't know if this is 100% true, but I hope it's true. I believe it to be true.

Last, if you want to see Rascal survive; if you want more investigative reporting, more security for our small team, and more articles that celebrate TTRPGs, any level of support helps. Our investigative work is our pride and joy but it takes time, resources, and energy. Thank you again.

Artist, quote with an old piece you still like ✒️ I’m still happy with this young witch. The fierce look in her eyes, the poor little newt and the cauldron.

It's looking like my game design consulting slots for the month are quickly filling up! I can probably take on one more and then have to wait for February. So if you're looking for some help on that upcoming zine month game, hit me up. gilarpgs.com#hireme

#TTRPG Year in Review Worked on: Blood On My Name, Eckeridge House Museum, Cosmere RPG, Confluence, Huckleberry, many NDA projects Played: The One Ring, Masks, Stars Without Number Ran: nothing I continue to climb out of my TTRPG burnout slowly but surely

And before anyone says he misspoke the line, Kilmer clarified it a while back. Huckleberry, not huckle anything else.

a bit belated due to the holidays but the bounty i wrote as one of @huckleberryrpg.com's stretch goals, Magnum Opus, is now available for playtesting! i hope anyone who gives it a whirl enjoys playing it as much as i enjoyed writing it :) www.backerkit.com/c/projects/h...

Had an absolute blast with this! @talesofmythandmayhem.com is an amazing GM! Love the idea of running multiple people through the same solo scenario and seeing the divergent choices, the overlaps, the tie-ins. So great!

One of the most essential questions of TTRPG design boils down to this simple truth: We want them to be able to shoot lasers, but we don't want them to shoot lasers *all the time*. (Shooting lasers being a proxy for Doing Cool, Effective Stuff)

If we adjusted our games' prices for inflation—prices in this industry have a tendency to calcify at whatever their initial one was when originally released, so we generally don't—many titles would go up notably. Here's a spreadsheet where I run the (coarse) numbers: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

As I once explained in my LiveJournal days: * a 32-page Pathfinder adventure has 20,000 words. * a 99.9% typo-free 32-page adventure would have 20 typos. * that’s a typo every 1.5 pages. * reducing that would delay every book a significant amount.

Huckleberry wouldn't have been possible without a similar safety net. My wife and I became full time liveaboards on a boat two years ago and saved us tons of money compared to California rent prices. That financial freedom directly allowed me to make a big TTRPG like Huck.
