Here's a reminder: you can make special cards for people just using bits you cut out of magazines

This week we deep dive into @alfredvalley.bsky.social amazing Mothership module! Summary 1.💡Thousand Empty Light For Mothership: The Most Inspiring Solo Adventure 2.🧙🏼‍♂️What I’m Up To: Devlog, Lore & Flight Simulator

I've released a new lyric game. I share here some thoughts about it, on design, vibes, art and such. (If you're a Patron, there's the key as well!) Interzone is a CYO liminal photographic gaming experience and it's the first time I use my own photographs to create a #TTRPG, so I'm thrilled

It was really cool watching your process in creating this card. Thank you, also, for introducing this amazing website to me (and hopefully many others)

I've been so corrupted by game design that it's the first thing I turn to when I'm going through something bad. Here's a video about that (and a game for the TTRPG bookmark jam) youtu.be/mklN6GgVkKM?...

Turns out I had some @alfredvalley.bsky.social zines in a drawer after all so they’ve joined our @mothership.bsky.social collection

I almost forgot #VALLEY100 was in 2025. It took a year off my life, but I'd do it all again... one day maybe.

Picked up Dungeon Pulp from @alfredvalley.bsky.social because who can resist a grimy solo crawl paired with good beans? I've been picking away at it over my morning cup, and now I'm determined to find more ways to embrace incidental play.

Nice to see Dungeon Pulp get some attention! This is going on sale in January via Dark Arts Coffee

Thousand Empty Light by @alfredvalley.bsky.social looks cool as hell. A solo-adventure for Mothership.

I'm obliged to remind you on this the day of our lord bandcamp that I have two experimental dungeon synth releases under the alias Ultra Medium Frequency ultramediumfrequency.bandcamp.com

Here's a sneak peek of Dungeon Pulp, an old school pencil and paper dungeon delver combined with a box of damn fine coffee. Launching officially in early 2026

I still don't know what a monte cook is and at this point I'm too scared to ask

Just before the campaign came to an end, this video went up about Brute Fort youtu.be/gXHchR0G5_o?...

And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕖𝕕, to feel myself 𝕓𝕒𝕤𝕖𝕕 on the earth.

The final straight? It's here. It's been a wild ride.

Surprise, mofos! If we hit 20k, legendary @amandalee.bsky.social is writing an adventure for Islands of Weirdhope! Sand Trap- a rickety mobile resource extraction plant has inadvertently gathered a collection of people, animals, and junk in its interior. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/c...

distracting myself from the dying hours of a kickstarter the only way I know how: playing battlefield 1

Dragonmeet done. Great to see folks. Truly it's one of my highlights of the year getting to chat to everyone. For standing up for 12 hours straight I have just treated myself to a niche eurorack module. THANK YOU FOR FUNDING MY PROBLEM

Y'know what I love about Iglootree.com ? The easy thing to do would be to stock and promote indie stuff from people with huge followings; have your cake and eat it, so to speak. Instead it's a huge pile of mad books made by people who loved something.

This made me kind of emotional. David, Daniel and Chris really seemed to understand lot of the things I was trying to do with Thousand Empty Light. Ultimately it *is* a module that's a metaphor for solo play and being alone.

Me and @daniellocke.bsky.social talked with @chrisair.itch.io about @alfredvalley.bsky.social ’s Thousand Empty Light, about its incredible diagetic design and smart solo procedures. open.spotify.com/episode/7vM1...

I ended up getting this, a Nuphy Air75 v2. Whilst no-one suggested this particular keyboard, everyone's suggestions helped point me in the right direction (so thank you). I'm typing this with tasteful mechanical thocks.
