Any game that has to tell you what it's politics are is sort of toothless, isn't it? I'm keeping that in mind while writing, now. If you cannot feel the venom for the cruel, the compassion for the meek, the beauty of the different, the love for the lost or the ire for the greedy, it isn't it.

System doesn't matter, only die size matters, not the number of sides or weight, only the volume

ALL ON RED (digital!) is now available on Glue Trap Games’ itch page! As a freebie, we’ve tossed in the Space Greaser class .pdf! Take a trip down to the Squeeze and see what those dastardly T-Cells are getting up to! gluetrapgames.itch.io/all-on-red

Happy #freeRPGDay! Most of my itch store is free anyway, but I’ve put the two paid modules on sale! Check out my latest in the repost below! Glue Trap Games’ itch store is also half-off for Itch Summer Sale! Grab some games!

#betweentwocons is awesome, quality over quantity, already met so many fun chill people. There's lots of trading stuff back and forth and it's just a very pleasant size for an event. Looking forward to @outridercreative.bsky.social presentation about crowd funding

If you really think about it, we're all 3d printers of some kind or another.

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

Y'all are fucking weird, keep up the good work.

Sure, two modules out today, why not! Here's another freebie for @claymorerpgs.bsky.social's new game StarNet inspired by Cormac McCarthy's "All the Pretty Horses." Layout and art tbd. discodanlives.itch.io/wrong-man-an...

*digs up dead horse to beat it more* The anti-formatting people just don't enjoy hyperlinking their pdfs. I used to be a die-hard format the fuck out of everything style guide idol worshiper but I'm slogging through our FORMATTED TO HECK 44 page zine thinking I might quit and do fingerpainting

“Is there any moral version of this book?” I ask, clutching my Player’s Guide and crying out to the heavens.

gluetrapgames.itch.io/operation-ba... @discodan.bsky.social and I finished our FIST JAM OPS VI entry. @hodagrpg.bsky.social never misses with the art I love it so much.

Howdy! A bunch of folks who were in #over/under have been cooking up a 92 page zine for #mothership, and we're happy to announce that "Exit, Pursued by a Dream" is available! All proceeds go to the El Paso Food Not Bombs chapter, and preordering is until June 9th! theember.itch.io/exit-pursued...

I ran Mothership at Octogônes, a French tabletop con over the weekend! Last minute opened a table, and got four folk right away. They said I translated on the fly very well, hah, friendly fellas and great players. Also got to chat with @arkhaneasylum.bsky.social about the official translation 👀

Still trying to figure out this "drive your car like a stolen character" advice. Anyone have any tips to avoid pissing off other drivers?

Now that backers have received it, Glue Trap Games’ Down to the Wire is now available on our brand-new itch page! With layout by @jeanverne.bsky.social and art by @hodagrpg.bsky.social, it’s a death-defying thrill ride through the depths of Prospero’s Dream! gluetrapgames.itch.io/down-to-the-...

Can we switch to calling them donjons cause it's more fun to say and write, and means tower more than subterranean torture chamber like dungeon does?

Really enjoyed listening to @chrisair.itch.io 's Ansible Uplink episode with @unenthuser.bsky.social going over Orbital Blues stuff. I haven't played or run it yet but gotta add it to the list. I know this one came out a month ago but had to shout it out after finding the time to get to it!

When the big solar flare fries all the electronics my TTRPG collection will skyrocket in value. What's another book for the shelf? Prepping.

Affinity software crashes instantly if I try and make changes to the iso map I've been drawing for almost a year. It's nearly "done" but I guess it's done-done now lmao. At least I can export it.

the bullet points should go above the prose and we can call it a bullet-first game design

I grocery shop at the restaurant supply place cause it's way more chill than Costco and the produce lasts way longer. If you position barcodes UP and visible so the checker can speedrun them they love you and checkout takes < 1 min.

i hate everything you hold near and dear. your cataphracts games are not safe from me. or... am i not safe from your cataphracts games? yakamo.blot.im/i-hate-play-...

As I learn how to do zine layout I can already tell it's changing how I write. I feel like this is true in any multi step process. Even if never mastering the other steps, learning about them shapes perspective so much. Reminds me of welding/fitting.

Pitchfork Gives Music 6.8 https://theonion.com/pitchfork-gives-music-6-8-1819569318/

if you're not playtesting the BRAND NEW CROSSOVER BETWEEN TRIANGLE AGENCY AND FIST, then you are missing out on one of the greatest marketing ploys of ALL TIME ‼️

Look, I'm tired of "look" being used as a preface filler word. I'm already looking, just cut to the yapping.

Working on layout for ALL ON RED. Struggling to fit all this text and format it. Stealing space any way I can. Failing. Realizing I'm a fucking writer and I can just delete words and sentences and rephrase things to make space hahahaha.

Discourse about rpg formatting is ignoring the next evolution: textured zones on individual words, scratch and sniff, force feedback, razor-sharp paper edges, origami maps, double printing with upside-down. We haven't even begun to reach the limit of page intensity. That sound tech from bday cards.

My day's labor in the editing mines, complete. Beautiful @discodan.bsky.social & @streetsurgery.bsky.social, innit?

Is there a technical term to describe when the bass in a song sounds sinister AF? Is it just overdrive and distortion?
