Friday afternoon office is best office

Someone's trying to gatecrash my party

Truth. I believe this with all of my being (especially today).

All my life I've believed Romeo and Juliet is a shit play and now I...I don't...!? I am upended. I don't know what to believe about anything anymore.

So...if you were invited out to dinner and weren't sure if it was a date, and two hours post-fact are still not sure it was a date, that means it wasn't a date, right? 😿 Asking for a friend who is genuinely me and genuinely feeling a way about it...

What's it possibly going to be?? #embroidery

I know many of you disagree with my feelings about tea. But we *can* all agree that earl grey is a crime, right?

First Stannington. Next the world.

Get on it!

I am once again begging TTRPG publishers to CREDIT YOUR FREELANCERS on crowdfunder pages. FFS.

Declarations of conflict of interest are for lesser bloggers. Here's my interview with @mytholder.bsky.social about the the process behind the currently crowdfunding DIE RPG: The Metadungeon. oldmenrunningtheworld.com/gareth-hanra...

Such pretty, clever book!

Such a good game (trust me, I'm a very honest penguin)!

Sixty years of gaming. One impossibly massive basement. The DIE Metadungeon is six decades of history disguised as a honking great adventure and it's live on Backerkit now! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

We're streaming the METADUNGEON Launch today! Join @gshowitt.bsky.social, @kierongillen.bsky.social, @mytholder.bsky.social and @exstasisgames.bsky.social at 5pm (midday ET) youtube.com/live/S5fsX92...

Stupid predators keep eating my peaceful, inoffensive, delightful foragers 😭

This game is my happy place

Another great game of Paris Gondo 😁

My hot date cancelled on me, so I shall instead be drinking a bottle of cheap prosecco and (finally) watching Arnie's The Running Man. I'm possibly too excited about the new plan...

My first rehearsal for this season's amdram play. They've cast me as a sarcastic accountant with barely (not) contained violent tendencies. What could possibly have prompted such a casting? We may never know...

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

Having a delightful time watching the cricket with a friend. Not because I necessarily love cricket, but because I love watching Kiwis lose at cricket 😝

Home tattoos are the best tattoos. Right...?!?

I'm not high. You're high!!1!

Gent at the pub tonight established that I am, by nature, a raccoon. Which was a real "Well done, but may I also say fuck you, sir" moment.

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen! Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them! ravenswordpress.com

I didn't know I needed lo-fi despacito in my life until it appeared, here, in my life.

Games games games, games games, games games, cats.

The world is so hopelessly broken. I know getting dolled up and spending an evening talking nonsense with friends solves nothing, but it kept me here an extra day, so I think it can't be all bad...

I really needed an ego boost this week. Learning that directors are fighting over me for roles in our amdram groups upcoming "Chekhov Shorts" festival did the trick. It shouldn't have, but it did.

@thismaybegraham.bsky.social I might need you to make a "Prep is death" t-shirt. People keep getting confused whenever I tell them that the questions they're asking are answered by my imaginary Prep is Death t-shirt...

Coffee-Cat didn't sleep on my feet last night 😭😭 Unsure whether this means Spring is coming or she was just mad I had the wrong blanket on the bed... #Cats #CatThings

Sir, I'm not sure what you were expecting when you sidled up to me at the bar and asked me to tell you "something most people don't know", but I can tell from your horrified expression that it wasn't 30 minutes of wild theorising on fungi and fairies.

Gold suspenders and funny faces. Start the year the way you mean to continue...

It's 6am and I'm just getting home and my hair is full of glitter stars. Maybe _I_ am the problem...

"I don't know if I'm retired or just drunk" is a phrase that: a) is going to sit with me for some time; and b) I wish I hadn't heard from a 22 year-old

Feeling this optimistically on behalf of most of my friends like...

Start of the evening: Oops accidental 80s dyke. End of the evening: It's 5am, I guess you'll all be leaving my house now...

Oscillating between thrilled and mortified at the newest entry on the work risk register: "Jinn just...does not understand..."

Friday's a great day to take a dip in the ocean of indie TTRPGs awaiting you on itch. Treat yourself to something festive, like our capsule game where a bunch of ne'erdowells, managed by a severely misinformed goblin, rob a fantasy department store. exstasisgames.itch.io/jimmy-mothba...

Pleased to discover I've infiltrated every single playlist at the pub. This is what true success looks like.

Thrice recently people have asked me to grant them a wish (Jinn...djinn... genie... okay, sure, I get it). And thrice recently I HAVE GRANTED THEIR WISH!! Is this what magic feels like?!

Tip for Heart GMs: put a horse in there. Not as the first thing they meet. Throw some gristly things with too many legs at them first. Then hit them with a normal horse. The Heart couldn't find a way to make it more fucked up.

Me: "Everything’s under control!" Narrator: ...Absolutely nothing was under control.

GET IT! (But only 9 of you because one is mine)

Six years ago I started a tiny little community group through which I met so many great people (now friends!) in tabletop games. Over time other great people have joined, taken over the reins, and evolved that little group into a large, widespread, mature, and supportive organisation. 1/2

it hasn't helped sell any mags but it appears our nonsense on here has just pushed our account over 5K 'followers', so let's embrace that as some kind of achievement! Like & repost this to be in with a chance to win every in-print issue of Wyrd Science & a t-shirt of your choice*

This year's #PodcastZone Saturday (29th Nov) meet up/dinner event is happening at Market Halls Cargo in Canary Wharf, just one stop from Excel on the Elizabeth Line. The perfect chance to meet up with fellow #RPG content creatives, whether it's podcasts, streams, blogs & so on! #TTRPG #networking

Have I just spent an hour researching shoe manufacturers? Yes. Would you like to pre-order some very strange shoes? (Say yes)

Caw! I'm a crow! Can I interest you in a war?
