Hope everyone is taking some time this weekend to rest. Cheers to the start of a nice few days off for all my American friends.

PAX has always given life to Sprites and Dice. It's where we've recharged and drawn inspiration from as we meet all kinds of people and play their games. This is disheartening news. If you're reading this and want to give PAX a piece of your mind, please contact them: [email protected]

I am deeply worried that even the most empathetic amongst us is slowly becoming conditioned into expecting evil so we can survive evil. And we are also being conditioned to celebrate the bare minimum. I think this is going to keep me up at night.

Been a while since I've done a #tarot card here, so why not talk about how I'm feeling these days. Art (in Thoth), or Temperance in the WS deck, is all about alchemical balance. It's a card about holding opposites and ultimately combining them. This can be a very difficult thing to do bc...

Hope your weekend is also delicious!

Something is happening tonight that's not happened for an age. We're playing Daggerheart again! And for once I've remembered to bring my spellbook mini for dice and a rolling tray.

Our review of @rtalsoriangames.bsky.social ‘s TTRPG starter set for Shadow Scar is out! Ever want to be a dimension hopping ninja hunting down evil and devious spirits? Well, now is your chance! See if it’s a game right for you: spritesanddice.com/reviews/revi...

Crunch-focused folk want new supplements, to give them more subsystems they can theorycraft on but never use. Storygames folk want new systems, to give them more genres they will turn into girlfailure yuri comedies. OSR folk want new adventures, to give them more rooms they will never dare enter.

A fantastic video I've just finished watching myself. PMG have always made incredible documentaries and this is no different. In fact, in their own words, this is even a step up from what you've seen in the past. A worthwhile watch!

I love when I make the same mistake twice but it's OK because making it the second time lead me to the solution to the problem that making it the first time put me in. 😅

Ok so here's an odd question for any #ttrpg folks here who also read #tarot fluently. I know that there are game systems out there which play by using actual tarot decks. I've always been curious about these systems. Anyone have any recommendations on good ones?

showing my indie game to non-gamer friends and family:

Never doubt the power of Root. This is the most engagement I've gotten with a post in longer than I can remember.

Tonight we're in a "grab a drink, teach Root to friends, and chill while watching them fight" kind of mood for game night.

So proud of everything the team's put together for this show! Tune in via Twitch this Friday/Saturday or see us in VRChat. I promise it's worth your time!

Periodically need to say this, and it seems it's about that time again. If you follow me, then unfollow so you can follow again, hoping for a follow back, and I have literally never had a conversation with you, know that I see you and am likely to block you if you keep it up.

Welp. Between the hacking and duplicate item issues in Arc Raiders and a very exciting road map for Helldivers, it looks like I'm shelving the former and digging out the latter again. Time to do a democracy!

Advantages of playing other people's games: you play weird, different sh*t you'd never think of. Tonight @halflingspy.bsky.social brought a little something from the #PAXU Indie Games Night Market. Resilience, a game about the community surviving natural disaster. We lived!

I haven't posted in what like nearly 2 weeks but anyway have some cool art RT'd by a guy who loves good art and will put more in your feed if you give him a follow.

Living a life more rich in symbolism is fantastic. You naturally draw more insight and meaning from your daily environment and your own actions within it. It also helps you learn games like Race for the Galaxy faster.

Funny that I posted this about a month ago. For the last 3 weeks this has been on my mind fairly constantly. Been really good overall for my work and handling renovations going on at home. #tarot

What better way to celebrate this most holy American holiday of eternal cookouts than to assemble a small charcoal grill?

Have I talked about dreams here yet? I don't think so. I'm gonna talk about dreams. Briefly, I promise. I never knew much about the famed psychologist CG Jung, but through happenstance came across his work. One rabbit hole tumble later I am interpreting my dreams and you know what?

just found a clip where i accidentally left OBS recording for like 12 minutes between takes so enjoy a glance at what it looks like when I'm dialing in a look

As both a lover of scifi and a writer, this is not just disturbing. It's deeply saddening. We as humans create art for so many reasons, all of them important. That some would use AI to judge art speaks to the growing incapacity of people to think for themselves. To discern. To appreciate. To see.

Another #tarot day today. I'm feeling the Devil card today. The Devil, alongside Death, in my opinion is one of the most misunderstood cards of all the tarot. Yes, he can represent vice and falling into the temptations of the world, but he can also represent...

Ever since my Overlight campaign, I've been looking for something that has heart. That's about people. Where combat isn't the focus. Have I found it again? Damn it Quinns! Stop making me buy amazing games! youtu.be/wH5-uQj4uOA?...

After 11 fantastic years, Bloomsbury Publishing, the owner of Osprey Games, has made the difficult decision to sell the board and card game line. This was not a decision taken lightly and reflects a strategic refocusing on book publishing. (1/7)

Got my revenge against Harkonnen. Somehow I've drawn Family Atomics every time I play Dune.

"Sir, I have good news and bad news." Me: what's the good news? "Well we kicked the Fremen's butts and secured the spice." Me: that's great. What's the bad news then? The bad news:

True story 👇

I feel so called out on so many levels right now.

Not gonna lie. I think part of my attraction to tarot, besides the use of archetypes in daily life, is just being surrounded by art. I don't feel the need to purchase a ton of decks. The ones I have, especially the thoth deck, just have art I love. There's something very satisfying about it.

Today I feel like discussing the 10 of wands, oppression. Fun, I know! The story of wands is one of inspiration and willpower burning towards goals. As this energy moves it goes through many forms. But by the time we hit 10, the overflow, we have an excess. What this means is... #tarot

Omg the piece on me is SUCH SLOP. Tropes.fyi counts 7 cases of tricolon abuse and 4 negative parallelisms. We also get nonsense phrases like "the birds were the math," "the research is not a costume," and "Hargrave did not simply remake Wingspan." WTF

A reminder that this is why we make fun of The Odyssey. The book would not exist if Odysseus was not such a complete chaos goblin who was busy causing problems for himself by arguing with Gods and being a shit navigator. There is no way to make an extremely serious movie out of this material.

I try to steal a mid war turn from my opponent by headlining them with the action-eating Bear Trap. But it's ok because they've done the same to me Quagmire! Best. Turn. Ever!

Twilight Struggle is actually happening this week! And we even have red and blue couches to play it on!

The best way to get into Tekken is to start by watching all of the King cinematics without any further context. In any order, really.

Today's Wednesday brought to you by: That feeling of wishing I could replay Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone again for the first time.

So happy noclip covered DERELIKT! I've been looking forward to this game for YEARS - here's one of the old trailers running on my 2022 era CRT setup 😎

I LOVE this kind of in-depth geek analysis. The kind of stuff like when I went on a short explanation about the evolution of Cyberpunk slang between the tabletop in 2045 and the video game in 2077. I even if you're only passingly into the material, this stuff will stretch your brain!

Totally not trolling all my friends by replying to every "May the 4th" message I see today with the "live long and prosper" emoji. 🖖

I really need to make an archive of "people outside the boardgame hobby talking about what it's like to engage with board game rulebooks" because I need a portfolio of evidence to show BGG that it just isn't working.

Why not a double feature today? Lately been thinking a lot about these two, Empress and Emperor, two faces of the coin of rulership. While the former represents form-giving, shaping powers, the latter is authority and will exercised. Neither is inherently "better" or stronger. In fact you need..
