Juniper is pioneering the future of OSR blogging by dragging it kicking and screaming back to it's roots (zine swaps)

Very grateful to have been quoted in this. #over/under was some of the most emotionally intense playing I've done, ever, and I'm not sure how long it will be until I'm *not* thinking about it daily

June has been in this scene for 2 weeks and already has ended all discourse with these laser focused takes.

thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr @juniper-c.bsky.social learned about the OSR while playing #over/under and has somehow managed to already learn enough about it to hold correct opinions on what OSR stands for. @explorersdesign.bsky.social is it too early to submit posts for the Bloggies?

Explaining #over/under to out of game players in #vanitera450 is making me realize what a farce the wargame turned into by the end

#Vanitera450 is yet another game that lets me commission one of my favorite artists to draw my character!! Thanks so much for bringing The Witch on the Red Wind to life @d20plusmodifier.bsky.social !!!

I've put feelers out there in some of the post-game discord servers, but I am fully open to discussing my experience in #over/under with anyone who's interested, in or out of the game! If you want to hear from a Denizen who clawed their way up to Boss, hmu!

#over/under was not one of a kind. I have been playing similar games for the last EIGHT YEARS. Today, I give this medium a name - "Live Text Roleplay" - and help you build a community of your own. www.valerialoves.com/how-to-repli...

Was thumbing thru my copy of APoF today and noticed a typo so I quickly corrected it. @lukegearing.bsky.social #over/under

In case anyone was worried, the #over/under lesbians were keeping it messy right up to the 11th hour.

#over/under is finished, here's Asha's final Tempest scene

I cannot stress how much WEATHERVANE won the game for Tempest. Like, I was able to take win/loss statistics, casualty predictions, and squad costs, and accurately price war contracts' % gross profit. #over/under never saw a Hot War from Tempest and WV proved it would have been *brutal*.

The beautiful thing about #over/under is that despite not getting to partake in Sam's The Sink/Doptown one-shot, I am within my fictional powers to order the players that did so to write a summary for me.

Achievement Unlocked #over/under #noreservations

#OVER/UNDER a bit proud of this one

@grinningrat.bsky.social , couldn't have asked for a better Commander, scene partner, friend. Thanks for everything, ma'am 😉 #over/under

Asha, Act II #over/under

If anyone ever wanted to know why every Boss in #over/under smokes, this is what it's like to play the wargame.

I *cannot* stress enough how vital these two threads have been to keeping Tempest sane. If any #over/under faction doesn't already have their own meme/ooc channel please make one.

In the last 24hrs of #over/under I have seen more OOC check-ins and frank convos about consent than in the entire game thus. @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com @samsorensen.bsky.social thanks for taking my concerns seriously so quickly. I am incredibly disappointed that this wasn't addressed from the jump

Sam: and on the tenth day I will unleash chaos and they will tear each other apart Every Single Faction in a matter of hours: Not in my Dream #over/under

Hey @samsorensen.bsky.social what's it like having 1600 people narrate *your* dice rolls? #over/under

What it feels like to check back in to #Over/Under after a few hours

I had the pleasure to playtest this and all I can say is that I can't wait to jump back in to the Tannic forest. A phenomenal follow up to Tannic, and a quintessential Cairn adventure!

ratti incantati has been a staple for indie ttrpgs and a pleasure to work with. go save on shipping while you can (including The Door Locks Behind You!)

As a customer of Will's editing, this is correct (and incredibly helpful!)

Cassette folks, where are you buying blank cassettes? Never had to buy any before and I'm looking through ebay listings knowing there must be a better place to source these.

I've always loved that Lynch Quote.

"Hey deldon, how is college in your 30's going?" Last night before class I tried to make pasta w/ vodka sauce, but when I took a bite I realized immediately, regretfully, that in my rush and heavy handed pour I had accidentally made vodka w/ pasta sauce.

feel like shit just want him back

This year I start working towards a degree for the first time while also working full time, so it's definitely not going to be a big year for games. That said, here's what I'm looking forward to fit in where I can in 2025: 🧵

The shirt is great and worth a back for that alone. Also if we can get this to the next stretch goal Adam writes the coffe shop themed adventure module that I have inadvertently asked for before on Between 2 Cairns.

I often find that I discover blog posts/articles when I don't have the time to read them, and then can't find them again when I do have the time. Anyone have any recommendations on how to catalog a TBR for blog posts? Not looking for an RSS, that's not really what I'm referring to.

Food copy continues to be a source of inspiration. Sam Sifton has crafted a character in my mind with this intro to a delicata squash recipe that I know I'm going to incorporate into a game at some point. "Boats are for side dishes" said with such conviction – what chef has wronged this man?

sometimes a good map pops up that immediately sparks the need to do some dungeon delving, and this time it's also a literal tutorial.

Coming to terms with how my life has shifted and what that means for my TTRPG time. I don't know if I'll have any time to do any kind of writing for the next few years so I'd like to wrap up anything I have in the works by mid January.

Sleepily went through all of the Mothership Month projects last night and ended up backing all of them. Now I have to sit down with my budget in the light of day and see if that was even a financially possible decision...
