Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Safety tools are a key element of TTRPGs for games played with any age, but these tools may need to look different to connect with really young players. Here's how I adjusted safety tools to meet my kid's needs, and I hope it's a good guide for your games as well: https://loom.ly/W9X-F4w

Finally got to play @kiraserpentine.bsky.social's incredible Something is Wrong Here and what an incredible experience. Gonna be feeling that one for a while.

Hey what are we using to lay games out these days that’s super easy and maybe not indesign (tho I feel indesign might still be the best answer) Digital pdf release if that matters!

I went out to a goth club last night for the first time in like six years and had an amazing time. Broken hearts masquerade ball! A joyful evening of dancing vibing talking laughing catching up with old friends and new 🎭💔 although I had mixed feelings about the Siouxie cities in dust cover

When people are talking about chaining different TTRPG systems together to form a larger, more complex narrative, you can literally do that by playing Breaking the Ice then Shooting the Moon then Under My Skin with the same(-ish) set of characters. The Romance Trilogy. Have done it. Can recommend.

As someone who is in the midst of organising a 100 person jubensha convention, this post was laser targeted at me

I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Graham wrote this what is time

I’m 45?! Starting to feel those hormonal changes, more gray hair, mental health on lock, feeling like I know myself better than ever! Truly wild how time flies and how different but also how similar a person I am! Grateful for this life

“Meta spent billions just to be outdone by this Steam game made by four people” WHAT. A. HEADLINE! 🤩⭐🔥 Sit with friends and strangers at the bottom of our screens while you work/study but with animal crossing/ webfishing vibes (and not meta hehe)

Y'all, we shipped ~45k whistles in December. I think we shipped ~35k whistles TODAY. This team of rogue 3D printing enthusiasts is... really rocking & rolling. 💓💃 And thank you to all of you who helped supply the filament & shipping $ so that could happen!

Are there enemies/rivals to lovers/friends specific ttrpgs and larps? What are they?

Try out an OSR style TTRPG of alien dragons, black glass tombs, and magical stones made from the calcified blood of dead gods. And it's entirely pay what you want. Get WYRM today. gilarpgs.itch.io/wyrm

These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

Ok I’m only 2.5 episodes in but Ilya and Shane are Lestat and Louis right Also the structure is eerily similar to some Thai BL I’ve recently seen? Lol

💔❤️‍🩹

Selkie exploring the tree. So cute! She’s like “what’s this furry thing, is mouse?”

ok now make a lesbian volleyball tv show

I was wrong. Linkin Park is great. Just a couple emo boys singing duets about their feelings A+++

Me, waking up this morning, to 2026:

That time of year again!

My whole life we’ve been told that The US is simply too big to have high speed rail

With a die, a tower, a deck of cards, a map and a handful of coins, you will reveal why you came to be here, document the uncanny perils and numbing drudgery of life in the lighthouse, and unravel the mystery of your ghostly companions. buff.ly/JS1TK1B

Whenever I see a game designer/publisher say they "need" genAI "art" I want to point them to one of the greatest (and most influential) games made this century.

Do I know anyone who’s done somatic therapies that are like, less clinical and more holistic feeling but like in a good way? I’m curious about different options and what’s out there that people liked or worked for their nervous system

A very handsome juvenille Cooper’s hawk in our front yard yesterday. The wind and sun really brought it out

Spotify is garbage on every count: Its treatment of artists, its ICE advertising, the CEO's investment in military AI, its leading role in the commodification and AI slopification of music, its terrible audio quality—you name it. So I quit, and put together a complete guide to getting off Spotify:

I'm very tickled that I got Publisher's Weekly to use the word "cryptonaturalist" in a sentence. (And I'm very grateful for the kind review.)

Bong Joon Ho hit me up for the squad you legend deadline.com/2025/11/bong...

Started reading this book about Irish language and it’s beautiful! Thirty two words for field

The annual thanksgiving meme returns

!!!!

A beautiful November evening featuring progressively feral child 😂

It’s transgender awareness week, so if you weren’t already aware, you are transgender

Holy shit the new Predator was amazing!! Also it was like a wuxia + death stranding the inspirations were so obvious! Predator movies winning so hard recently!

HOLY SHIT. They found the genes for fibromyalgia - and it's *not* autoimmune, it's the central nervous system. It's very cool to see some progress made on the thing that's ruined my life since late teenage years!

When ball pythons periscope it means they feel pretty safe and curious in their environment

We missed the auroras but had some cute family time under the stars instead

Road to Empress is simply a delight so far. It’s basically Dragons Lair but with a fully filmed story with live actors just like a historical cdrama. Super fun that’s it’s based on Empress Wu Zetian. Very clever in that it uses typical plot tropes but the right choices aren’t the typical ones!

Hey, #ttrpg folks. Due to Bas losing his job, I’ve got all my games on sale for the remainder of the year at least, so if you’ve been eyeing any of my works now’s the best time. I’m grateful for any and all support. itch.io/s/167069/flo...

Heavenly Bodies is a 2p card game inspired by Gin Rummy and Koi-Koi. Each turn is simple: draw cards and discard cards—but you have to be careful. Do you take this card now? Will it still be there next turn? Players *must* balance their choices against reading their opponent’s goals.

This is it I’ve reached peak aesthetic

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
