Let me tell you, I’m beyond stoked to finally be releasing IronFrame. I actually came up with the concept for it around a year ago, and this is the first game I’ve put together that’s not part of a jam! So if you’re interested in a rules light but tactical mech TTRPG, you’re in luck!

Vulnerability is a superpower in disguise. Embrace it, and watch as it transforms your creative process by deepening your connections with others. #TTRPGMotivation

The magical thinking crowd is so utterly obsessed with AI and it is killing me. this isn’t a shock, because they’ve always been deeply naive about how computers work and what they’re actually capable of doing, and AI is just “fancy computers.”

props to WSJ for once on a useful notion, ADMIN PARTY for everybody

Are there any furry ttrpgers that are in Texas?

Preorders end Nov 30! If we don't get enough funds these will not be ordered!

Here are all the bag designs!! Which one is your favorite?

Boosting again 🖤

This is sincerely a video i am quite proud of, and don't think anyone should miss!

I just wish more leaders were ashamed, and more artists angry.

Hi everyone, so apparently substack sucks and we're in hell. So I'm migrating purely to patreon. You don't *have* to give me money, but, like, I could buy groceries if you do and you get some cool stuff! You can read all about it, well, over on patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/139266...

I wrote about clocks, or how consideration is a mechanic in games that goes under appreciated. What else is a game but the time spent playing it and why isn't that time considered as valuable as other aspects of games? www.patreon.com/posts/in-def...

Look, all I’m gonna say on The Current Topic is that moderation needs to be consistent - if you’re gonna drop the hammer for quoting song lyrics and getting pissed about child rapists, yet you let slide accounts that say trans people shouldn’t exist, then yeah, there’s gonna be some questions.

My Patreon used to be at $300/month when I was working on Fari App VTT, which was a big amount but still was not enough to cover the thousands of hours I poured into this open source app. When I deprecated the VTT, I lost a lot of support, but now the Patreon just crossed the $100 milestone!

Stop using the word "woke" the way white conservatives do. "Staying woke" just means to be aware of the ways structural inequality and police violence harm Black (and sometimes other oppressed) communities. The term you all want is "politically correct"

I don’t talk about this much, but I was extremely food insecure growing up and into my adult life, and that experience absolutely brutalized my psyche. It stays with you forever. Please support your local food banks and give generously if you have the means. This makes me sick.

Don't forget to take breaks throughout the day. A few minutes of stretching or a quick walk can do wonders for your body and mind. #TTRPGMotivation

These are two reminders to people hiring writers/game devs for ttrpgs: + If your freelancer doesn't have a lot of material or guidance from you, you're going to end up unhappy with their work - and that's on you. + Expecting full scenario/adventure drafts in less than a month is unrealistic.

One of the first things I do with a client now is develop a posting style guide, I have never had a client already know what they wanted their posts to be like.

Already at 46% y'all 👀😱 HECK THANK YOU <3

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

My most woke opinion is I am too white to have really good woke opinions.

Honestly there's gonna be a change for today's #TTRPGQuestion #ttrpg I'd like to ask yall to show me some makers on bluesky who deserve a shout out. Be they character artists, mini makers, prop designers, dice makers etc. This is for artists, no Gen ai or I swear hand you to the list Plz share

Happy partially muscled skeleton screaming by the perimeter fence day to all who celebrate. A solemn 30 second screaming before vanishing will take place at 11am.

Help them fulfill their dreams of even bigger fireballs by paying me to draw your blorbo today! vgen.co/holliism

Hey dice rollers! Lex Vex here! Patrons get first access to content that makes characters, not classes, the star. Break free from traditional constraints! www.patreon.com/user... #ttrpg #unbound

The need to have a video be successful and not flop is currently consuming me from the inside. I hope you're all having a good morning. New vid btw youtu.be/T45GPZiHv_k?...

We were all so naive. A mere pee tape! Pffft!

So I did the thing before I chickened out (or came to my senses) and threw up a GFM as a stop gap measure. I hate doing it more than anyone will hate seeing another fund raiser. gofund.me/f5615787f

Some of you post like you've just been released into the wild.

Life is an adventure - embrace your inner adventurer and explore all that the world has to offer. #TTRPGMotivation

People are 100% ok with the asymmetric power distribution of the GM but as soon as we try to do that with players we've walked into Uh Oh territory according to the invisible hand of game balance.

The hope behind this technique is to help get comfortable with the idea that you can have a lot of ownership of your “win conditions”, and that once you open the door on those possibilities, then character “power” is just one more kind of thing that might make a character tick.

Though I’ll concede that it is an opinion that the experience of death in RPGs should be thought out in terms of how it should play. Making it a mechanical option with no further consideration is some lazy ass drowning and falling bullshit. But, hey, opinions and assholes.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Moss good, follow Moss

be looping around my gender like some wildly eccentric comet in an extrasolar system. Sometimes we are very close to the binary, sometimes we are so far away it is up for debate if we are even in the same system.

Workers with @kickstarterunited.org end their six-week strike victorious, enshrining 4-day work weeks and salary floors while also adding protections against gen AI replacing human labor.

Hello friends — still offering $25 portrait commissions! Great time to secure one as a gift for your favorite TTRPG player, superfan or weeaboo. I’m trying to shore up a gap in wages, so anything helps. Let me make you some groovy art! (also taking regular commissions!) Here’s a few from last month.

“if your representative is a sex predator they could lose their job” please explain why this is a negative

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

I swear there's so much cargo cult mentality around RPGs. Just mimicking what they saw on an AP or in a cRPG.

When you’re watching two shows in the same franchise whose major selling point is that they center queer stories and characters, at some point you have to wonder why not a single one of the dozens of named characters is nonbinary

I think that guy was probably involved in child sex trafficking, and he's self-evidently been bending over backwards to corruptly cover it up, but also he can continue to be president for another three years, is not a coherent position and the incoherence of it is obvious.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks. People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

fuckin same

Oh hell yeah
