When I was listing to the idea of how character creation was being simplified I wasn’t quite grokking it. I KIND OF saw it, but it was fuzzy. Now I see it and…yah. It’s simpler and yet still flexible. I’m interested to see what people think of the new way types are being handled.

At present, I am reading the unproofed Cypher Character Book by @montecookgames.com and, I am excited! Great job @seankreynolds.bsky.social @brucecordell.bsky.social! #ttrpg

Numenera, by @montecookgames.com, is a game I have really wanted to play for a long time, it is a game that I think I will have to play as a player before getting into running it though. Great simple rules, and a very fun looking world.

Monte Cook Games has launched a new crowdfunding campaign on Backerkit. Jewel in the Sky brings an original dungeon crawling experience to its award-winning Cypher System.

Always sweet art from Blackmon!

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

Basically nothing matters until you can finish a comic. Doesn't have to be long but I talk to so many people who ask how they can pitch to a publisher and I'm sorry but the abstract idea isn't important. Publishers only want to know if you can do a beginning, middle and end and get it done on time.

I decided to get a jar of old-fashioned hard candies, like grandmas everywhere kept in candy dishes in the old days, to enjoy for the holidays. There was a huge variety of shapes and colors among the candies, which were really fun to look at. The flavors were... www.patreon.com/posts/old-fa...

This has to be top 5: “Mystery Flesh Pit National Park” by @ganzagaming.bsky.social – Imagine being a park ranger in a park that is a massive underground single living organism from space. You try to keep people alive, not get lost in mucosal folds, and make sure everybody gets nice family photos.

When I was 23, I was working in a medical(ish) setting, and I mentioned something about a pine marten in a casual conversation. One of my co-workers interrupted me to tell me that it wasn't a real thing. The entire circle of co-workers agreed that I made it up to fuck around. There's a lesson there.

The premiere of the Murderbot TV series is just around the corner! Reactor spoke with showrunners Chris & Paul Weitz about Sanctuary Moon, David Lynch, and nailing down Murderbot's voice! #murderbot reactormag.com/murderbot-sh...

May the fourth be with you, Illinois.

This is a iconic ttrpg story. If you haven't heard it before, give yourself a treat! Also help @owenkcstephens.bsky.social with his cancer bills if you can.

Charlie is a great writer, a great editor, and someone who gave me a chance and taught me quite a bit. Hire him!

This is absolutely horrifying. Horrifying. Scoop up these great reporters -- more mainstream outlets would benefit from games industry coverage from experts. kotaku.com/polygon-sold...

If you want to sneak in your lore dumps, this is how you do it. One mural at a time.

To AI shills & capitalist institutions, writers are simultaneously not important enough to compensate while alive and so important once dead that their machine-ghosts must be resurrected to continue the work of profit-making. Vile.

New major playtest version of Voidhome using the Cypher System by @montecookgames.com is up, as well as a new adventure as part of the package. Some sections have started to see some editing, but much of it is still fairly raw text. Pre-gen Characters and form-fillable sheets coming soon as well.

It’s me!!
