Pitch idea: a Very Special Issue of Sprigs & Kindling that is nothing but fanfiction I'm doing my part! (Just submitted another piece of fanfiction for an upcoming volume of S&K)

So many awesome, creative people on this list. Also me! ennie-awards.com/2026-nominees/

The best way to ensure that I can continue making games is to support the Patreon!

In honor of AJ, I've put my Trophy Gold incursion "The Alluring" at $0. I want people to see her layout, her art design... all the work she put in to elevate the project. signalstation.itch.io/the-alluring...

Our dog haaaaaates fireworks so last night was super difficult. Every time it seemed like the explosions had stopped, a new wave of them assaulted us. Needless to say none of us got much sleep. *yawns*

I’m so proud of the Sprigs & Kindling team. And so flattered that my games have inspired something so amazing.

Hey, I am on this list! Grats to the whole team, and @iamatrex.com in particular. Sprigs & Kindling is something amazing.

I've said this before but if a library went and dedicated an area to just renting movies, and remodeled the entire area to look like an old blockbuster, and used old movie racks, and sold snacks as well, they'd make such a fucking killing. it'd catch on like a wildfire

Did you know this years ENNIEs judges were 100% white and 80% male? Anyway unrelatedly here's the application to judge next year ennie-awards.com/judge-applic...

I grew up in and currently live in California. I didn't really consider myself a Californian as a kid (I was a Mormon first and foremost) but now I do, and I consider myself a Californian before I consider myself an American, I would say. So... yes.

So July 22 is our EiC's birthday, and so it seems a perfect day to launch the pre-order for The Hearth Magazine Issue #5 on @rpg-trader.bsky.social! Going to use the site's Earnings display to be transparent about what it costs to pay contributors, artists, and other costs per issue.

I love when doctors say "avoid stress" like I can just unsubscribe from economy and become a decorative gargoyle

The process of moving into a new place this month and rebuilding my life as a person living solo for the first time in over a decade has been expensive and hard. If you've been thinking about picking up any of my games, this would be a great time to go for it. store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

Happy birthday among the stars to the patron saint of us all, the great Octavia Butler.

Reasons for writers to use "big" words: 1) The "big" word conveys a nuance of meaning that the "normal" word may not, being too vague 2) The "big" word sounds cool (as in, the word actually does sound cool and not like the writer is trying to get sapiosexually laid) 3) You fucking feel like it

This year is the 50th anniversary of the standalone edition of The Word for World is Forest. This Berkley Medallion edition is from December 1976. Cover art by Richard Powers.

A friend is currently tearing one of my stories to shreds and I’m like, yes, yes, more, MORE!

The three short-form Brindlewood games are getting a physical release! I'm building a layout system for the games (and new ones in the future) to make them feel like a distinctly cohesive set while also letting the personality of each shine.

I watched a video by Zach Cregger referring to making a shitty first draft of a script as "elfing" (pretending you paid a shitty elf to make the draft and excusing all mistakes as that shitty elf doing a bad job) and unfortunately this advice was tailor-made to work on me (involves elves)

Today's Classic Book Cover is We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson! While this novel has enjoyed many iconic covers over the years, this 1963 edition was illustrated by William Teason

Important question: is there a romance mechanic in Koriko?

The beach is crowded, but everyone makes way as my hut lumbers across the sand. Finally we reach the water and the motion becomes smooth & practiced. The sea-turtle fins cup & scull and my little house moves slowly past the surf and out of the bay. The open waters call me—it’s time for me to answer.

Okay, Issue #4 is live on all platforms! Grab it where ever it's most convenient for you! RPG Trader rpg-trader.com/products/507...

A friend got Mordy a crinkly & squeaky stuffed llama yesterday and it’s now his favorite toy. It’s bigger than his head so it’s adorable watching him carry it around the house.
