They don't hunger. They suffocate.

I don’t know how to express this more clearly Every time you do a war I’m against it I’m against it in all forms I’m against from All sides I’m against the careless loss of life

I’ve been mulling this thought over but I think there’s sort of a third wave of indie RPGs outside of the established OSR / Story Game divide…games that I would say take design cues from both schools but are firmly developing their own identity and culture distinct from both.

Remember, “ye olde” megadungeons are now contemporary media… start your OD&D dungeon campaign today! Details below 👇

I am so unbelievably excited for Seven-Part Pact, and each of these articles just makes me even more excited. It seems to me that this game is going to be truly innovative, and I just can't wait to see how it all comes together!

Today I ran two sessions of @discodan.bsky.social's Truck scenario for @lukegearing.bsky.social's Violence ruleset. Each was so different, but both times, players immediately got into the scene and made total messes of themselves. For less than an hour each, they really packed a punch!!

What I love about @lukegearing.bsky.social's Violence is how it seems to encourage these cinematic vignettes of intense, realistic yet otherworldly action-horror. This one cooks, can just picture Mike and the boys stuck in this scenario (see "My Friend Mike").

I haven't posted on my #TTRPG blog in about two years, but I want to get back into it, so I've done some remodeling. Might not be so terrible to look at now. There's only two posts, but if you like games with a so-called "old-school" bend, maybe give it a look. blueshallowsdarkdepths.blogspot.com

Wow... this looks crazy! I've never heard of a TTRPG system crossover before wtf this is so cool

Pay a vial of tears shed from the loss of a dear friend, and she will guide your way through the Violet Way. Her Skull of St. Rathis lantern casting its pale green light across the path.

I can’t stop writing for @lukegearing.bsky.social’s Violence! Check this one out. There’s a big man with an axe. discodanlives.itch.io/bunyan-an-in...

New one on the drawing board today

It’s hard to truly understand the immortality of an elf as a human player, but not hard to understand the mortality of animal-folk- therefore: icastlight.blogspot.com/2026/03/ratl...

Nearly everywhere, editorial design is disappearing. Magazines, newspapers, and publishing houses are shrinking. There are fewer and fewer typesetters every year. And yet, over in Elf Games Land, we have a hundred new people learning and fussing over baseline grids every year.

once again struck by the pressing need to have more precise groupings than "role playing games". people are doing things which are diametrically opposed and stupid slapfight bullshit will continue forever until different terms allow them to coexist. also if people stopped being cunts to one another

I seriously cannot get enough of all the scenarios made recently for @lukegearing.bsky.social's Violence. Was just thinking about how I would love to see more #OSR stuff set in the real world, too.

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished
