If you’re working a full time job, now is the time to fill out that W-4, go exempt in federal taxes, and put that money in a high yield savings account. Pay taxes only on tax day and make a few bucks in interest, don’t give these fuckers a free fucking loan all year ‘round to fund their bullshit

Fuck ICE!

My First Dungeon: The Wildsea placed THIRD at the 2025 Audio Fiction World Cup! 🥉🥉🥉🥉🥉 Thanks to everyone who listened. We're incredibly proud of the shanties we sang and the stories we told. Special thanks to @mythworks.bsky.social and @felixisaacs.bsky.social for making it possible

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.

Looking back at the year I’m not at all surprised that Mothership has been my most played ttrpg. I am a little surprised that Chuck Tingle’s Tingleverse is my second most played ttrpg this year.

When I publish something that targets a tiny percentage of gamers within a sub-genre of an obscure corner of the gaming hobby I think to myself, “the look on their face when they find this game is gonna be priceless.” Then the bills come in.

@alewoodgames.bsky.social I’m not sure if I’ve ever mentioned this, but ever since CAT, a little part of my morning routine is sitting down at my desk, rolling a D20, and playing “The Revolution Will”. Today, the revolution will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen or Bullwinkle and Julia.
