defective hot dog rolls! a thing i didn't know could exist but apparently do.

Huge shout out to all the people that made this possible: @residentbard.bsky.social for being the BEST creative partner @oddsandents.bsky.social for being our go to layout artist and dear friend @phophos.bsky.social for being an amazing editor couldn't have done it without you guys!

We're so proud of @bridanann.bsky.social, @residentbard.bsky.social, and @phophos.bsky.social for their work on these games. ❤️ Not to mention delighted to be in such good company among the other judge's choice! Congrats y'all!

So intensely proud of @bridanann.bsky.social, @oddsandents.bsky.social, and @phophos.bsky.social today for all their work on Trash to Treasure. I'm simply speechless, and I'm so excited to see our little eco-fantasy magical girl goblins in the spotlight. ❤️

oh BLOODY HELL, TRASH TO TREASURE by @residentbard.bsky.social and @bridanann.bsky.social (edited by me! and layout by @oddsandents.bsky.social) won blinkin' JUDGE'S CHOICE at the Ennies!

Proud to have been on the team for @brightbard.bsky.social's two Ennie listed games: Trash to Treasure (Judges Spotlight) and Mushie Missions (Family) Call me Ennie Entner

if they cut every budget to pay for defense, there'll be nothing here worth defending

I dunno if people know this, but it's actually possible to just ignore this completely and it won't materially affect your life. If millions of Swifties suddenly squeed in excitement and were suddenly silenced, I think it would barely register.

tonight's random burst from the 8yo: shave your butt (to the tune of Baby Shark)

feel like I'm observing the death of critical thinking in real time. why is everybody just outsourcing their cognitive facilities.

Let's get Petmon past the finish line, everyone! #TTRPG

"Learn more about our updated Terms of Service" no i don't think i will thank you

it would be an absolute banger power move for Burnham to wait until these other two candidates declare, and then drop out of the race.

a few years ago, shortly after the meteoric rise of Midjourney in making very "mid" images based on theft and exploitation, FHC issued a moratorium on the use of so-called genAI in any of its work, pending more understanding of its effects. the moratorium amounted to a full, albeit temporary, ban.

remember when labour said that the general election was a ming vase? that it would be theirs so long as they didn't drop it on the way.

astoundingly good point Laurie. this extends to printing, as well. how can we prove, as consumers and publishers of books printed in countries with poor labour protections, that no forced labour, labour exploitation, or dangerous employment practices are happening at our printshops?

me: it's hot why my partner: tomorrow will be hotter, 30 or 31 me: oh no why that's horrible my partner: on Thursday it will be 39

BIG changes afoot in Far Horizons HQ. Huge, even. Massive. Watch this space -->

WELL FUNNY YOU SHOULD MENTION- (thanks!) bsky.app/profile/das-...

@spicytunarpg.bsky.social is publishing my game HOWS MY DRIVING! It's a horror hack of Daggerheart that literally puts you in passenger seat of a road trip where you are being stalked by a killer with a plastic bag on his head.

People can fulfill their obligations by checking out Academia Arcana. A "teenagers at wizard school" game for folks who love that stuff but hate big IP wizard school. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Soot and Charms is still open for late pledges! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gra...

TTRPG.link/moriah by @percypropa.bsky.social is going to elevate your play and decimate your heart!

I love helping people fulfill their contractual obligations, and what better way than with CYBERRATS IN SPACE. Generations ago, you failed to defend earth from invading aliens. Now, it's time for revenge. www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

PSA: if you recently backed Neon Odyssey then you're actually under a contractual obligation to support at least one other indie TTRPG crowdfunding project this year. sorry, i don't make the rules - check your contract! fortunately for you, anybody who reads this can add their project to the list!

I'm part of the art team on this one, along with Bri (gorgeous painted characters) and dmg (super cool sprites) from @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social , and we've been having a lot of fun making art inspired by the old games, tv shows and books! Funding now so hop on over to the ks to join in! #ttrpg

if the government ban socmed for u16s then that means they're going to invest in third spaces for youths, right? because at the moment, kids hanging out tend to get moved on.

can i just say that "5.5e" is the most ridiculous shorthand one could use. it was sort of cute once with 3.5e, but doing it twice is producing a dangerous amount of eyeroll. i can't think of anywhere else where a "half revision" is a thing.

Mickey Drip & The Saveloys - Yow Can't G'Wrong with Chips

Both our writer and artist are on this project!

We're always welcoming to new people, but particularly at the moment, Far Horizons CoOp is looking for new collaborators for current and future projects. We're particularly interested in working with layout designers and Illustrators.

now looking into replacement floors. turns out you can get almost anything as a floor covering, including, inexplicably, leather.

update, there's another one of these on the other side of the fireplace, leading me to think it's related to that. the underside of the underlay from above it is discoloured like it's been damp or something?

aldi weren't fucking about when they put "mixed sized" on these eggs huh

Collaboration is easy on RPG Trader. You have two options when it comes to multiple people working together: 1. Add collaborators to individual products to manage it and share revenue. 2. Create a team of users who can all manage products for the same creator.

the text on the formwork reads "LEAVE HERE". is that an instruction regarding the brick, or an instruction to me? feels ominous.

I'm pulling up my lounge carpet in strips as we may have a carpet moth problem (and it needs doing anyway). uncovered something strange, any ideas?

Today, I'll point vigorously at #iHunt by @machineiv.bsky.social and @filamena.bsky.social. The core concept—monster-hunting by way of the gig economy—felt fresh when it hit in 2019 and remains relevant today. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

this rocks and it's what i've been wanting for years. it's what all star rating systems are reduced to eventually, and this basically feels much friendlier.

I've got a few more #ttrpg projects on the back burner, but one I'm really excited to talk about in more detail soon. It'll be my first solo journal-based ttrpg based in the same world as #OurHellInSpace, but it's not the same story! Influences: Stargate: Universe, Rebel Moon, Star Trek: Tin Man

in the big glitzy KS campaign right now, the current top comments are like "come on it's only $2m to the final stretch goal" and "if everyone just added $60 we'd get there" without any kind of understanding that $2.25m would be, for any indie developer, an absolutely life-changing amount of money.

i've got new trousers and they're incredibly complicated to do up. a slide buckle, two inside buttons, a fly zip, and then a belt buckle. it takes fully thirty seconds. that's too long, trouser designers, too long.

with long-running tv shows that don't have an obvious linear arrangement - like The Simpsons, or Family Guy, and so on - i sometimes wonder how much "real" time passes in total. although the episodes are stand-alone, do the stories overlap if necessary?

reading a book right now by a presumably human author but it's just so absolutely bad. it's extremely badly written and very poorly structured, and the plot makes no sense whatsoever. it needed an editor like no other book i've ever read.

i feel like y'all are just looking for reasons to not support RPG Trader and i'm not here for it. policy seems fine. policing so-called AI is getting increasingly hard, so going after a failure to self-report is, in my opinion, pretty smart.

"We're recording tonight so I have to leave this line out."

i think one of the funniest things about my mother-in-law is how she absolutely bellows when she's on the phone. if it's a video call it's even worse. can't stand to be in the same room as it, it's like she's channelling Dom Joly.
