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?

The current Obsidian Notes visualization of my Mothership RPG home game. The big light blue dot on the left is Prospero's Dream from A Pound of Flesh, and the other big light blue dot is Lord Wesley's Rise from Hull Breach. #mothershiprpg #obsidiannotes

youtu.be/lJsS8lqCpwU some good news out there in a sea of bad.

Things are slowing down with my meatspace responsibilities, so I am looking for ILLUSTRATION GIGS! ALL OSR/NSR like- DCC OSE HMTW DND ADND SHADOWDARK MORK BÖRG MOTHERSHIP TRAVELLER MECHS DON'T SEE IT? JUST ASK! PRICES THAT WILL MAKE YOU SAY "WOW, ARE THESE FROM 10 YEARS AGO?!"

I'm starting to lean more towards that Fermi paradox explanation of intelligent life tending to destroy itself as being the most likely explanation.

Hit me up at Hodagmag at Gmail dot com if you want a copy for just 7 buckaronis! Cheap and Cool!

Looking for a resolution table to roll on for 2026

Thinking about old dice, like way back when they were made of bones and wood they must have all been totally unbalanced and people thought they were just super lucky or unlucky and got killed over it for cheating cause they didn't know the density of the material wasn't uniform.

All this time contemplating orbs, but what else can we do with them?

I think Project Zomboid has the most potential to achieve the vibe of #Over/Under . Now that build 42 has gone multiplayer, in a month or two when this unstable build is less buggy I think that's the move. An RP server where everyone plays as a nomad convoy, scheduled "event" when the camp moves.

ICYMI, I reviewed all twenty options on Mothership's Panic Table to find out what I like, what I don't, and what I'd change for my own projects in the future. I might make this single table review post into an ongoing series (people seem to enjoy it)! meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2025/12...

Trying to figure out where to unleash a Forvalaka

my Thursday one-shot of the psychological horror Mothership module "Gradient Descent" is full up, but: there's still open seats in the Sunday 12/14 one-shot of Gradient Descent! 🎲 if you like androids 🤖, memory weirdness, and evil AIs, this is for you! more @ 🔗: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Hot take time, lot of chatter about what is the #osr and I'm finally weighing in. nostradumbass.bearblog.dev/were-asking-...

Trying to trim down rpg room description text is like hacking away at some sort of magical blackberry bush that regrows almost instantly. That writing phrase about killing your darlings? I just need them to fuck off for a bit. The text is improving, but the length isn't tonight!

Please give me your recs for no-skip albums, headphones on, volume up, music that's good for doing that flow state time travel shit while working on things you can auto-pilot through. Going to see if I can OD on coffee and skip the work portion of tomorrow to get to the fun part.

Wondering if any rpgs use the UNO deck instead of dice. I've heard of Jenga and regular playing card decks used of course, but UNO is as common as Jenga, maybe more so. Could be an untapped resource. Death save! SKIP!

Playtested a #FISTrpg thing involving sentient vehicles. Quotes: "My reliant robin is trying to go back into its meat form and get back up to the VW bug.. -Jay " and "Biblically accurate 18 wheeler" -Amber and "It's a sentient suicide bomber?" -Triss (about a mini Cooper with a remote detonator).

More Ink for the Ink Gods! And more art for @discodan.bsky.social 's upcoming #mörkborg adventure: The Mantis-Men Breeding Pit Massacre. (Now with more elephants!!) #inkdrawing #ttrpg #art #elephant

Tomorrow is first play test of @discodan.bsky.social's and my take on a sentient vehicle module in #FISTrpg. Trying a funnel mission where regular level 0 FIST recruits try and rescue intelligent vehicles during a high speed chase involving a traitor truck hauling captive vehicles for CYLCOPS.

music.ishkur.com This website rules. It's fully interactive and can play examples on certain timeline points if you click them. The very opinionated reviews are worth looking at too, especially the commentary on specific sub-genres and scenes.

We hit our final #mothershipmonth25 stretch goal for All On Red: donate $1,000 to Doctors Without Borders (MSF)! One of our main NPCs Dr. Lucinda Suzuki belongs to a fictional organization inspired by MSF called Doctors Without Sectors, so we figured this would be a great final goal in the campaign.

#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...

📢 THIS OFFER STILL STANDS COME GET YOUR COPIES. NOT A REVIEWR OR ACTUAL PLAYER? RT IT THEN DO YOUR PART 💥💥

In the first of what will likely be a series of blogs, @lincodega.com unpacks how @samsorensen.bsky.social's month-long realtime Mothership larp/megagame #over/under ended for their character, High Gardener Otso, and also, for themselves.

We all lived! We found the treasure (but who knows if we'll escape with it and live long enough to even sell it)! @octopusink.games died and was immediately resurrected in basically the first room. @discodan.bsky.social lost all of his hand skin! @user-nu11.bsky.social made a cool blood snake!

Over/Autopsy for #Over/Under This is about the ingredients in the special sauce, and death. nostradumbass.bearblog.dev/overautopsy/

I wish I could see some sort of visualization for the impact of #over/under post game. I'm seeing a viral spread of ALL kinds of games being spun up and joined just because of O/U's momentum. Tons of people are starting to write their first content for games, with an insane support network to help.

Vorse #over/under

Blog Post #9 for #over/under, less sad girl stuff, more "here're the websites and other things people put together for the game, along with some other blogs about the whole game."

www.backerkit.com/c/projects/g... #mothershipmonth2025 home stretch! We're about 16 or so backers off of hitting our final 10k stretch goal: Glue Trap Games will donate $1,000 to Doctors Without Borders.

I've got something cooking. An opportunity, for those who want it. One last bullet in the chamber. One last performance before the big bow. One last labor of love for all the great people that made this a fantastic game and fantastic month. #over/under

d10 serious and stupid spaceship names: 1. Tsundoku 2. Wind Pisser 3. Unexpected Twenty Top 4. Tardigrade 5. The Alchemist 6. Victory's Condition 7. Lethologica 8. Contemplate This Missile 9. Alimo Rember 10. Perl Horber

First post on this thing but here goes. #OVER/UNDER is a wild time. I’ve drawn so many more cyborg worm horses than I ever expected

Hundreds are still hopelessly addicted to the slicksim #over/under , drooling away their lives in pod arcades while family and loved ones weep. Minders have been hired to persuade them to leave but the most successful method is in-game assassination, a violent but effective way of waking a dreamer.

This is brilliantly written. A prime example of how to play a complex character that's authentic. It's a real challenge to play a character that you the player disagree with fundamentally. It makes everyone's experience richer. The ore refining metaphor is perfect. Everyone should read all of this.

#over/under is inspiring. I wanna try and create a SMALL (10-20 players) discord PBP Mothership game. Any wardens interested in collabing? I'm exploring the idea of a scouting mission to a habitable (but dangerous!) frontier planet. If they don't die, it could scale with more players arriving later.

All On Red's cross collab project The Conduit by @benkinghi.bsky.social for #mothershipmonth2025 is rad. If you back both, you're getting TWO digital reward pamphlet adventures. You're going to need an exciting train mission for your Prospero's Dream campaign. The other one takes place in The Sink!

I conducted mini-interviews with seven new @mothership.bsky.social designers last week. Find them all here: 5millionworlds.blogspot.com/2025/11/moth...

This is so cool. I can't wait to play as furry little creatures... IN SPACE!!!

Decided to make a blog and help toward that #MothershipMonth2025 blog goal! Wrote about #over/under and included a short fic I'm proud of. It's about my character Nostra, the night before he died, tying up some loose ends the former Vor left behind. nostradumbass.bearblog.dev/lets-talk-ab...

The Education Department has hired at least 9 people from the America First Policy Institute, co-founded by Secretary Linda McMahon. The think tank’s listed goals include ending the separation of church and state and “plant[ing] Jesus in every space.”

Commissions are open! Open like they've never been opened before! They're the best commissions. Unbelievable really. We've never seen commissions like these before. They're saying my picture of Durin is the best picture of dwarf that's probably ever been made.

#over/under has been a really fun experiment to dive into. I think that the whole thing is a testament to how cool something can be if you just throw a buncha creative people into a box and shake it! RIP Nostra, a very satisfying arc or me, thank you @jessfrom.online for ending it in style!
