Here's the babble about my previous post ;)

Never GM-ed a TTRPG before? Let's discuss demystifying what happens behind the screen. startplaying.games/adventure/cm... Focusing on the European/African time zones first, but depending on how this goes and evolves, I could do other sessions too that might be more friendly to the Americas.

Remember our mantra: Don't Engage, Just Block.

Had a funny exchange last night: Unaware friend "Having ADHD is bad, but at least you don't have something like depression, right?" Me: *starts chuckling, then laughing, then full-belly cackling*

Got YET ANOTHER tattoo idea in mind.... Damnit. haha

I still remember my grandmother's landline and she's been dead for over a decade.

If someone stole your TTRPG character's diary, what secrets would they discover?

I play TTRPGs because...

I've just replied to SIX different pitches offering paid promo that I have turned down because of their use of GenAI 🤢 So if you're making human-made #TTRPG stuff and looking to promote your cool stuff in youtube videos, hit me up! ✉ [email protected]

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Announcing the Game Pass price hike (19.99 to 29.99 for Ultimate) during the Steam Autumn Sale was a poor choice for Microsoft.

My first incursion on StartPlaying will be to run a GM workshop for beginning GMs to help demystify what to consider when behind the GM screen. The plan is to do it in November so I'll start advertising mid-October on the site. If you're interested, keep an eye out.

We're looking to hire a freelance artist to create a series of four logos for different megacorps in our Shadows Over Sol (hard sci-fi / horror) #ttrpg. Think the Expanse meets Alien, with a dash of Cyberpunk mixed in. Interested and have experience? Send us your portfolio!

It's #WIPWednesday which means I want to see all the #TTRPG stuff you're working on this week! Show me your work in progress; 🐲 #dnd #Pathfinder, and indie RPG content 🎨 TTRPG Art 🎲 Accessories 🚫 No AI though!

Hey #TTRPG artists! I’m producing a show and we’re looking for a landscape artist for our overlays. We want feywild vibes and a painterly blended vibrant saturation art style! If this is you, send over links/examples of your work! Tag someone who you think would be great for this! #ttrpgcommunity

I'm taking one of my most popular maps and building a rich history, lore, NPCs, myths, and more for it! I've invited several people in the community to join in when they can and we'll be releasing our first module hopefully in January! I'm so excited for this!

"Bluesky is boring." Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually. When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

OK, I'm SUPER late to the game, but can I just randomly recommend the Dungeons & Daddies actual play D&D (not a BDSM) podcast?! The creativity of DM & players is a delight, dad-jokes as a game mechanic is brilliant. I'm constantly surprised and delighted. Check out @dungeonsanddads.bsky.social

DM/GMs: talk to us about making stuff up when your players go in unexpected directions Do you have spare ideas and characters lined up? Or do you just fly by the seat of your pants? (Alex is about to make his GM debut and is worried the players will derail all plans in the first five minutes!) 🎲

Ek is besig om kak aan te jaag en dit is lekker!

Just a ramble about some stuff I've been up to.

If I go "Ooooh! BUY!!" then you too have to look and at least go "Oooh!" okay?! www.humblebundle.com/books/ultima...

😞 RIP Graham Greene ♥️

I've been doing Icarus for 10 years in August 🤯 I wrote a little blog post reflecting on the past decade and some of the notable moments.

Just a random post to say "Hey! I'm still alive!" I forget to do that and then only put random reposts in. Currently working on a special project that will take years to complete. Will have to save up for some artist commissions...

Hey nerds! If you've been thinking about commissioning me, I'm currently available from November onwards ✨ (where has the year gone?!)

It's #WIPWednesday which means I want to see all the #TTRPG stuff you're working on this week! Show me your work in progress; 🐲 #dnd #Pathfinder, and indie RPG content 🎨 TTRPG Art 🎲 Accessories 🚫 No AI though!

If you’re a #TTRPG creator with a Patreon page, please do this survey and state that you’re opposed to the use of AI! We need to nip this in the bud ASAP. The survey takes 2 minutes and will hopefully have a big impact if enough of us submit strongly negative opinions!

Ironsworn is at the Bundle of Holding! It's the best deal ever for the complete family of Ironsworn games. bundleofholding.com/presents/Iro...

It should be socially acceptable to communicate via grunts at 7 in the morning

Something's Coming!

Bye forever, WeTransfer.

July 1st is the last chance to grab this Fantasy AGE 2e #ttrpg deal www.geeknative.com/1...

11bit studios actively did not disclose their purposeful use of gen AI. They've only gone on the record after being caught out. This should have been disclosed at point of sale.

4 years ago I officially gave up my first career and took a chance on my art. It’s hard and wonderful, and I couldn’t have done it without the support I’ve gotten through social media. As a thank you, here’s a sale! On everything!

we ship everywhere! booksmith.com xoxo

It is crude, but for a first attempt at something, I don't think it's too bad. Now to work on approachable facial expressions...

This is exquisite

"Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible." A rambunctious ship's stowaway plays hide-and-seek with the exasperated crew.

Elsewhere on the Internet I see someone being a conflicted about not finishing a book of mine, so let me make it easy for everyone: If you're not vibing with something I wrote, put it down and try something else! Not everything I write is going to work for everyone, and that's fine. Let it go!
