⚔️ TONIGHT, 8:30PM EST - It's TIME for a #HSCharity classic: #OldSchoolEssientials ran by @highshelfrich.bsky.social! Come help us continue to support @elevatedaccess.bsky.social with pure chaos! #ttrpg SOON... The HSC Old School Christmas Gauntlet will BEGIN! #Twitch: www.twitch.tv/highshelfcol...

I'll be streaming tomorrow on High Shelf Collective's Twitch Channel! And as part of our annual charity campaign, we'll be raising money for Elevated Access. Come support the cause! We'll be playing some Old School RPGs, which, as I understand it, means we'll be dying a lot. Like, a LOT.

On my way to #PAXU in Philly! If you see me at the con and happen to recognize me: 1. That's very surprising! 2. Come say hi! 3. Let's plan ttrpg stuff! I'm looking to start more projects in actual play and ttrpg writing/design!

A thing I did is now watchable on YouTube! I'm one of the players in "Rage Across Dallas", a TTRPG actual play I did with @highshelfcltv.bsky.social. It was insanely fun, with an awesome cast. We played Werewolf: The Apocalypse live on stream, and you can check out all 7 episodes on YouTube now!

これは貸しです。 Introducing Kashi 貸し, a guide to why "Ghibli-inspired" media without Japanese creatives is harmful. It includes links to learn more about Orientalism, Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, and Japanese culture. Learn. Share. Change. kashi-info.carrd.co

Backed this project SO fast! It uses the Slayers system, which I HIGHLY recommend checking out if you're into TTRPG and/or game design. Every class plays and rolls differently. It's unlike anything else I've seen.

The No ICE in California Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 560 games to discover for a $10+ donation supporting @raicestexas.bsky.social and @immdef.bsky.social Support the bundle here: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

the pacing of this book is so slow. like when do these heights even start wuthering

Body language translation: Driver yielding at a crosswalk: 👋🏽 (I will not kill you.) Pedestrian: 👋🏽 (Thank you for sparing my life.)

I have 3 types of TTRPG characters: -an Uncle Iroh who is also Old Man Logan -lovable cartoon who must also murder -trainwreck dirtbag who is unfortunately useful ^these are not mutually exclusive

We're just gonna casually skim over how many of the x-men just... know how to fly a jet? A skill *several* of them picked up? With what free time? They've been Xavier's spec ops child-soldiers since they were like 16.

Naming D&D characters is so much easier for me than naming realistic modern characters. A bloodwizard named "Selarus Elderwynn" or whatever? Fine! I am satisfied. Just a guy, named "James"?? Ridiculous. Nonsensical. I am a fraud and a hack.

Life moves fast, and the games industry is NO exception. I (and many other talented writers and devs) are back on the job market. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Giving a ted talk on fight scenes tomorrow on Twitch! Come watch me give a powerpoint that will almost certainly include naruto and john wick

Anyone going to GDC on Friday this week? If so you might spot me among the crowd, acting casual, pretending to gamedev.

We're back tonight! Streaming Werewolf 2e, starting soon!

It brings me joy that we, as a society, have never stopped remaking Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

My go-to order for vietnamese banh mi is always grilled pork with a fried egg, which in retrospect is the most filipino thing i could have asked for

@jessipurr.bsky.social is awesome and i will try to live up to this unexpected and extraordinarily kind praise ❤️

This is real. I just turned it off. They track you everywhere, because they can.

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

Under this bill, if an undocumented mom is grocery shopping with her young child who grabs a banana on the way out without her noticing, she could be arrested, detained without bail, and deported. And Democrats are lining up to pass it.

LOS ANGELES! If you need a place to recharge phones, communicate, or a place to get some work done, our doors are OPEN and we have WiFi This fire is brutal, and we want to offer whatever we can to help those who need it. May close early today, but until we do- our house is your house.

There comes a time in every D&D 5e player’s journey when they arrive upon the question: “What the fuck is a piton?”

"Does it have an Easy Mode?" is legitimately a big criteria for me when buying games nowadays. I'm not here for a challenge, personally. There are so many games to play, so many stories to experience, and I don't have the time or inclination to attempt a boss fight *twice*. I know what I'm about.

Elf characters: you don't have "2 siblings". You live 750 years. Your parents have been boning for centuries, you have 80 siblings. Your uncle is a literal baby. Your granddaughter is mistaken for your twin. You have enough cousins to storm the gates of heaven. Your family tree should be fucked UP.

🐺TONIGHT, 9PM EST - It's #Werewolf5e night w/ 'Rage Across Texas'! A new ally w/ unknown motivation.. can they trust her? Mages & Werewolves don't mix well.. #ttrpg #HSCharity is going strong - win prizes, change outcomes, & help us support @elevatedaccess.bsky.social! www.twitch.tv/highshelfcol...

Perhaps booking TTRPG games last Friday, Saturday, today, tomorrow, two on Wednesday, and again on Saturday was... too many games.

⚠️ PSA to anyone posting to YouTube ⚠️ Definitely go in and turn this off!! I don’t think it even needs explaining at this point!! Please let everyone know

Join us for a Very Fallout Christmas! ☢️🎄 Come see me play a zombified 1950's advertising exec. For charity! (I put effort into lighting for this, hope it turns out)

Going to be playing a one-shot tonight on High Shelf Collective, raising money for Elevated Access!

Just recently returned from Philadelphia, where I got to try scrapple, or as I like to call it, artisanal spam. I enjoyed it! Kind of like a meatloaf slice fried crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. My very Filipino review is: I would 100% eat this with rice.

I told my sister I was going to #PAXU, and had to explain I was going to a game convention, not simmering pork.

Here is my imminent problem: I am soon going to a convention in the Eastern time zone. My bedtime, as of late, is somewhere around 5am. Pacific. This will not be jet lag. This will be full-on temporal displacement.

I'll be at PAX U in Philly this weekend! If you are a friend: Come say hi! Let's get food and/or play games! If you are a stranger: Come say hi anyway! Or ask for a copy of my one-page RPG! If you are an enemy: We don't have to do this here. Too many bystanders. Midnight, at the docks.

anyway a fun fact i recently learned is you can submit copyright claims against libs of tiktok because she’s a known individual and her accounts are monetized and are platforms used to sell merch, which eradicates fair use. she can’t use your videos without licensing or consent.

Okay I didn't anticipate having to come up with this many ttrpg opinions. playing catch up with this thread 😅

DO NOT CROSS PICKET LINES THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

Hello new followers! Nice to see the exodus from the other, more hellish site is going nicely. Back on that side, I doom-scrolled and lamented a sinking world... Over here I just talk about games and stuff! So let's do that thing where 1 Like = 1 TTRPG opinion 🤷‍♂️ 👍

TONIGHT it's Saviors vs Shelfies! Join us at 10pm Eastern as members of the Saves vs Death cast go skate to skate against members of High Shelf Collective, in this Cyberpunk RED roller derby jam. #ttrpg #cyberpunkred #chasingtherabbitdlc #rollerderby

🔴LIVE || Come hang out and listen to this week's presenters @aceofsquares.bsky.social s & @harpingharp.bsky.social chat about writing, characters, and much more! Join us here: www.twitch.tv/highshelfcol...

🎂TONIGHT at 8:30 PM EST a new crew takes on the world of Flabbergasted! Join us for a cozy & comedic night of coffee, cookies, and competition! Head on over and follow so you don't miss when this kicks off: www.twitch.tv/highshelfcol...

Streaming tonight! We're playing a one-shot of Flabbergasted!, a comedic roleplaying game set in 1920's England, which is a sentence I never imagined I would say. 5:30 PST/8:30 EST at twitch.tv/highshelfcol...

I'm now going by "Owen J. Ace" in the TTRPG/social media space. As much as it is a small adventure having to explain the pronunciation of "Javellana" every time, this may be a bit catchier. Also, my handle now makes more sense. My True Name will remain unlockable as DLC.

I got the Heroes Feast D&D cookbook, which has sections for Elven Cuisine, Dwarven Cuisine, Human Cuisine, etc. Which is funny because like... I already know human cuisine. That's literally all I've ever eaten.

come see me play Short Round Froggy Ironman 🐸🤖
