Sick! Now that you read it we can learn the handshake... Oh, not with my right hand, I poisoned it with kingly matter so that I could better seize that rareified stuff, so you can't touch it. open.substack.com/pub/splitpar...

“Secret retributions are always restoring the level, when disturbed, of the divine justice. It is impossible to tilt the beam. All the tyrants and proprietors and monopolists of the world in vain set their shoulders to heave the bar.”

Hey folks, new month so time for another SHOWCASEY! #Showcasey If you are an indie developer with an upcoming game, reply below with a description or elevator pitch of your game and make sure to include a link to your store page. Let's get some eyeballs on those games! (NO GenAI!)

If there ever was a time, If there ever was a chance, To undo the things I've done and wash these bloodstains from my hands It has passed and been forgotten.

I want to highlight that this is I think one of the most genuinely interesting TTRPGs I've read in years, in ways that are hard to articulate in a bsky post. @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social has made something very special here, and if you love TTRPG design you owe it to yourself to read this game.

FROM 9 YEARS BACK: Costume A Halloween relic from the zero-interest era.

it's ironic that we, as men, go all the way to jupiter to get more stupider. the trip itself requires quite a bit of know-how and tech savvy. if we really cared about getting stupider, like we all claim, we would look into more sustainable stupidizing options

I’m a well known Star Wars EU hater - for every good idea in it, there were like twenty ideas so dumb that they kind of ruin Star Wars. However, it hits different when it’s a book no one has read, ya know?

What's crazy is how many people are treating Pokémon cards like the actual stock market. Dudes are coming in and swapping tips with each other like this shit is never gonna stop. I loathe each and every one of them

Hey bro, I promised a friend I would share this game with you, so do me a favor and share it with someone else. I'll teach you a pretty cool handshake, top secret stuff. splitparty.substack.com/p/zephyr-par...

Pokemon midnight release tonight. Send ammo, food, and pinups

excerpt from the latest cyco meeting

Oh heck it I'll just post both witches, it's not like I don't have to draw like 5 more. Twice. Plus extras. You better be overtly enthusiastic with your reactions, i'm expecting questions, reposts, and demands to have your insides turned outsides in the name of toxic witch activitiy.

Contender for top flag.

friend's character in my flying circus game (tip o' the cap to @opensketchbook.bsky.social ) just made ace so i found this old (like, 1994) fokker d.viii (or kreuzer skorpion, if you like, which is what they fly) 1:48 model and I'm making the player a little trophy ^_^ (so much superglue & putty)

Cortex Prime X-Men high school drama campaign

We conclude our critic of Dragons and Traveller's Tales, going into how this game actually works mechanically, the pros and cons of its FitD lineage and how approachable is as a game for all ages open.substack.com/pub/splitpar...

Dudes used to hang out

Someone just brought a bearded dragon in a bubble backpack to work, absolute Queen Shit.

Two different groups of people almost got into a confrontation over pokemon cards. I hate pokemon so fucking much

*observing trans women jewishly* I see and understand, let us ascend the Sephirot together

Kreia: "Do not sleep with Atris' servant." Exile: "I don't see how that's any of your business." Kreia: "Remember when my hand got cut off and you experienced every agonizing second of it?"

Genuinely one of the most important voices to recommend games in the sphere and gets nowhere near the attention they deserve.

Teacher, what is the truth of adventure?

One day I'll run my battletech actual play that's about a lance of distant relatives who've been called back to act as bodyguards of the family heir in the lead up to his wedding... and then you'll all see

You wanna know what perfectly sums up the fucking attitudes of suburban America? Today I'm in line to buy snacks at the dollar store, the line is six people deep and everyone's bitching about how there should be another line open. The line is being held up by one person whos card is being 1/2

They also possess a dog like obedience to authority, this is why they are frequently scammed and conned.

Alright I said I'd show these off today, and I keep my word. This is all art (but not ALL the art) I made for the Weird West style game All The World's Prey by @radmad.bsky.social. Whenever I show it to someone they tend to focus on the Nun, which... I get it, but I think the Warden is my favorite.

Hey! You know all those times I talked about loving/recommending deadlands. Do me a big favor and disregard those

You follow the captain of the guard to his room. You know you need to slit his throat to save the kingdom, he is defenseless. You will do so in one smooth motion and he will die without any resistance... you succeed on your check and become hardened, the next time will be easier.

Who wants to see some concept art? Never thought this stuff would escape the depths of my hard drive... These (and more) were made to serve as reference for the art of All The World's Prey by @radmad.bsky.social. What? You wanna see the art that went in the game? Fine. Tomorrow though.

It really does bother me that Lu is a sensible intellectual, she writes thoughtful articles that make you smarter and more aware of the world. I write "What if you actually thought out your houserules." And she gets yelled at... for the thing I wrote

But when I say it, people get mad!

I want you to know, dear reader. This shit has me hype as hell

Another wargame that could dramatically be improved by the addition of an america faction. Let me have snake handling, strychnine drinking priests leading groups of Meta-Christ blessed vagrants and demon host musicians.

I draw the evil woman. Absolutely toxic, the worst "intrusive thoughts made manifest" yuri powered witch woman. Positively heinous. Coated in iron sand like a cutlet in breadcrumbs, draped in enough spikes and blades to embarass a 40K player. The girls in the discord still want to lick her.

I sat with awards, what possible niches they may fulfill for TTRPG industry, community and artform. Here are some thoughts about how they end up being such a frustrating experience, as well as their mixed legacy and image. open.substack.com/pub/splitpar...

One of the things included in the sizzle reel for Metal Gear Solid Delta playing at my job is the quote "She was like my mother... and my master." I have heard this at least six times a day for thirty days.

You have heard the tale of the Fourty Day Wasteland War, of The Furious Flight From The Citadel, of The Boy and His Dog, The Vault Dweller and all those who followed them, and now it is your turn to spin this old History Man a lesson, go on, use your best wordburgers.

New review day! This time, a look at Zephyr by @fsohns.bsky.social A beautiful, thematic, and very unique #ttrpg that shows, in many senses, that other ways are possible. youtu.be/UjiTlM_u0rQ

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

I continue to look for reviewers and content creators that may wanna cover Zephyr, have an interview, etc. I don't have access to conventions and in-person events from here in the Global South to cover my game and I rely on online engagement to get the word out.

There is no wonder, no glory, no decadent sin in all creation, that can compare to telling people that the reason consoles are more expensive is the tariffs. Its a lib pleasure, but I'll take it.
