Don't over prepare. Fewer words on the page = more play at table. All you need is a goal to accomplish or fail, a location & a bad guy to beat or lose to.

I've finished 25 games this year. Played a good number of new releases & indies. I clearly love my RPGs & indies with the occasional AAA thrown in.

I was listening to the We Hate Movies episode on the film Tombstone & I wanted to watch it. Google said it was on Hulu. Hulu said I need the live tv add-on. So instead of watching a classic American movie, I watched the 2002 Royal Rumble match on YouTube & played Kingdoms of the Dump.

I just had an idea & I need to put it somehere: The sky is constantly dark & cloudy in Blades in the Dark. Perhaps there was a moon goddess who borrowed power from the sun to burn away any evil she saw on earth. Mortals figured out a way to make the sky cloudy so she couldn't see them anymore.

I see this all day, every day at my office. Most of them don't even have enough shame to fake it. Thats why I keep that thang on me. That thang = a tiny hand sanitizer from Bath & Body that I got at my home girl's baby shower.

Steam and the Epic Games Store refuse to sell indie horror game Horses – here's why. [Earlier versions of this post and article stated the Humble Store also banned Horses. The game has since been re-listed, so the story has been updated accordingly.] gameinformer.com/2025/12/03/s...

My body houses an unquenchable demon that compels me decorate in December. I call it my Xmas Sicko.

I saw a sign in Vegas for a KBBQ restaurant that said "You can't beat our meat." I nearly crashed my car laughing because dumb word play jokes work on me.

🚨Getting close to the last week to get my game funded on Kickstarter! A post-apocalyptic western about a lone gunslinger and his dog surviving in a claymation open world. #indiegame #indiedev #WishlistWednesday

No wrapped or recap for me either but here's every indie game I finished in 2025 from most recent to least 🧵 -Absolum -Gris -Sword of the Sea -Tavern Talk #indiegames

My favorite part of AP prep is character background writing. Here's a little peek at one I'm working on right now & its probably obvious what game it's for.

I don't understand... Cyberpunk 2077 & Baldur's Gate 3 both show uncensored dick & vagina in the character creator! Steam will let me spend as much time as I want giving a Dragonborn a massive, uncircumcised, hairy hog so what is the problem here?

I've watched 3 different videos about the Cypher system and it seems pretty dope. I just learned that its a thing & I'll be using it very soon 👀

How did millenials end up being the 1st and last computer literate generation? My parents (boomers) and my sister (gen z) can't use a computer or remember a password to save their lives. They're all getting baseball gloves for Christmas this year.

A game release... on my work from home day... I might become religious after this. PRAISE ANNIHILUS!!

Finally dipping my toe into comics with Absolute Wonder Woman. It's good. It's really good.

May I offer a few (10) suggestions: 🛻FUMES 🐭Small Saga 📸Viewfinder 🧱Jump The Track 🗑Kingdoms of the Dump ☕️Coffee Talk 🪄Spellmasons 🧛🏾‍♂️El Paso, Elsewhere 🐕Fights in Tight Spaces 🤜🏾Midnight Fight Express

I just finished act one & I'm loving it.

My Black Friday sale suggestion would be to buy a full price indie game.

We stayed with my partner's uncle over Thanksgiving & he has the sweetest, most precious dog ever. BUT we had to barricade guest room door with our suitcases so she wouldn't barge in at bed time. It was like a horror movie. I will miss her.

📢 Introducing our great gift to the TTRPG community: the Bartender NPC Name Generator 🎲

I made a micro game. Shout out to @james-chip.bsky.social for hosting. You can find & play my entry, Abzorb, here. microfictiongames.neocities.org/2025/abzorb

Sleeping Dogs. If I knew how, I would do it myself.

I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid ko-fi.com/candacethema...

Whaaat?! Back on socials? Yup. Just for a hot minute tho. We're casting for two upcoming campaigns... please visit the casting form if you're interested in these or future opportunities to get involved! Casting Form Link: forms.gle/TFnhWJzSAtt6... 🎲🌈⚔️🐲💀 #ttrpg #shadowdark #eidolonsrpg #actualplay

I had never played a TTRPG before February 2025. Since then, I've been the gm for a monthly Blades in the Dark game & I was cast in 3 APs (one fell through). I've learned a lot about safety tools, I played D&D for the 1st time, I've witnessed producer magic & I've been having a great time.

I finally finished Scavengers Reign & it is a perfect season of television. Its the epitome of show not tell & every visual is amazing. It explains what it needs to & let's the audience figure out the rest. Best part, it has an ending. No cliffhanger. No teaser. Just a very good ending.

I saw Rush Hour 4 was trending so I clicked on it & now I'm upset.

My game's Kickstarter is at 45% I have 17 days left to make this claymation TPS possible, so I'm sorry for the upcoming spam. Here is a Kickstarter-exclusive bike. Go check out the campaign! #indiegame #TrailerTuesday

Hello indies! It's almost Thanksgaming 2025! If you have an unknown indie project in dev or just released, please could you email me at [email protected] with the subject "THANKSGAMING 2025", and a store page and YouTube link? I'll put as many as I can on Kotaku. Rules next. Reposts appreciated!

Maybe its me, but crossover events in a single player game just don't appeal to me. Maybe I'd feel differently if it was something I liked more, but I rolled credits on AC Shadows months ago & haven't felt the need to revisit it. This doesn't change that.

If you are an Actual Play producer (or otherwise the copyright holder) and you are interested in uploading your show to the Internet Archive, please let me know and I can help you through the whole process! If we get 50 shows to coordinate, we can make a collection :) Message me here or email me!

My latest game, POGOPPL, is cheap as HECK this week. #indiedev #gamedev -75% OFF on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1640220/...

I've played about 90 minutes of Kingdoms Of The Dump & I really like it so far. I can't tell you why beating up an innocent refrigerator feels so good, only that it does. #KingdomsOfTheDump #JRPG
