A lot of good stuff in here, but it’s particularly strong on OSR adventures. Dungeonheads don’t want to miss this one. Launching soon! itch.io/b/3670/typho...

i am not 100% sure whether @wesaketchak.bsky.social is the original maker of this mash-up but i am 100% sure that it is brilliant and was crafted for my enjoyment particularly

Closing out my series on key design by making a list of rules for myself to follow when writing modules, then testing it by rewriting a one page dungeon I made recently. The goal: retain all the strengths of bullet points/formatting with thoughtful use of plain text structuring. It went really well!

Watched the first two eps of Widow’s Bay, what a great start. Incredibly funny without losing its spooky atmosphere, brilliant subtle moments of humor and horror, tons of awesome character actors. Kind of obsessed, especially if they can maintain this quality.

BTH Physical Copies Available Now Looks like our friends @tabletopbookshelf.com jumped the gun and launched the shop page early! Go get 'em! I'll get the Itch page updated soon lol. tabletopbookshelf.com/products/bit...

new DEAD LETTERS! new DEAD LETTERS! new DEAD LETTERS! this episode, we're reading a game studies article about the meaning of rules, the role of the game designer, and Tati's "Playtime": Miguel Sicart's "Against Procedurality!" give it a listen! open.spotify.com/episode/7ETC...

my work rates, hit my line above^

My wife broke the metatarsal that connects to her pinky toe and we are uninsured. I'm trying to get the money together to visit an orthopedic specialist (and lyft rides) -- so I'm having a flash sale of my most BONE-CRUSHING games. (appreciate any support and reposts!)

Monsters from the original Dungeons and Dragons Book 2 - Monsters and Treasures, and what they get at the gas station.

“the pharaoh’s tomb is cursed! the necromancer’s ring is cursed! the witch’s grimoire is cursed!” that’s how you sound. everything is fucking cursed with you bro. i don’t care. i’m taking this skull.

Hey folks, I've asked for help a lot in the past but now it's really needed. I've been without health insurance for a few months and that plus mounting expenses has put me in a spot where I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to make rent next month. Any help is appreciated. ko-fi.com/eldritchbee/...

oh, yeah, as of yesterday—more DEAD LETTERS! this time we're talkin about the (current) best Mothership module, GRADIENT DESCENT: open.spotify.com/episode/7r5S...

Someone asked for an app to point your camera at a color and find matches. Cool. Here. BUT ALSO: I'm colorblind and never thought to make this for myself! Save colors ("new paint," "mom's fave"), get colorblind-friendly complements, simulate what you see vs. what others see. Legit using this daily.

Read about Paramour and the six Orbital Blues Month projects in this month's Rokaner Report! Thanks to @soulmuppet.co.uk for hosting us, too!

Coming in just a few days, join me for Orbital Blues Month 2026! I'm launching a jazz-fueled, planet-hopping missing person adventure called "Jupiter in Eb Minor" (read "E Flat" as in the musical term). Hope to see you there! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

It is our patriotic duty to buy Canadian Mothership modules. Emergence is a funnel adventure—like you play in DCCRPG—where the characters will play inmates in a prison complex trying to escape. (And I mean there is a whole bunch of other stuff going on too.) Art by @chaoclypse.bsky.social—what! 🤘🏾

Some more friends and I have gathered to start a second, bigger bundle to help fund the move of our dear friend @cosmic-chill.bsky.social out of her situation in Australia.

New project- 出口🏃🏻‍♂️ Shinjuku Station has over 200 exits, I'm going to draw all of them wrongly, not where they actually take you, but the many worlds that they could take you to.

like 3 days left on your chance to get glass men. after this bundle it won't be for sale for the foreseeable. itch.io/b/3536/mayas...

BTW I just found out I have to pay back $2300 of health insurance subsidies which is breaking my bank account, so now's actually a great time to get stuff from my shop or commission me.

Been on the road a few days now! Anything helps, gas prices are not nice to me!

The latest Missive is here! I talk a bit about the freedom of adventure writing in modern-day settings, my Violence scenario AMELIA, recap the MCGW blog, and more cool stuff (Rust Wings, Last Light Station, and more)! Check it out: meatcastle.substack.com/p/the-freedo...
