The Legend of Dragoon [1999] Japan Studio - PlayStation

Go watch it!! A dear friend of mine is in it. :D

Starting today at noon Pacific: Skycadia, a #Daggerheart one-shot with @thedicescape.bsky.social!#Daggerheart Tune in for a tale of magical girls in a floating academy in the sky, plus a preview of what's to come during Daggerheart Birthday Week next week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8dwu3MhxmM

25 creators did this last year, and most were successful in funding their smaller projects. We chatted with them last September. www.ttrpginsider.news/p/gamefound-... The initiative is very similar to Zinetopia, although I think the funding averages were higher.

@gamefound.bsky.social is launching RPG Party 2026, the followup to last year's crowdfunding effort that gathered multiple smaller projects together and crowdfunded them as part of a larger event on Gamefound. gamefound.com/en/blog/post...

ultimately, I'd like a more structured and formal place to yap, but maintaining a newsletter or a blog takes a lot of energy. I'm afraid of it feeling pointless but, talking and never doing is also pointless, so I should just do it esp bc I want more of the kind of talking I want to do out there

maybe I SHOULD just commit to a newsletter or blog or something I already do so much yapping in Tumblr and want to write more formalized articles as is

(coworkers reacting with laughing emojis to my slack messages) This is great. I am going to get a good grade in being a coworker, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve,

I keep wanting to post more here but my issue is I've been too busy to have interesting thoughts lately, and short-form isn't where I thrive

I've been so long out of the game I have no idea anymore what sites are accepting pitches about actual play, especially more cultural criticism focused pieces

If you're looking for an editor, my availability starts in June! I'm open for developmental and line/copy editing, and I'm prioritizing games that are < 10k words. You can find more information, testimonials, and a list of games I've edited on my website. www.blinkingbirchgames.com/editing

I'm about to have a significant amount of time in my hands, and I'm considering again doing a blog about actual play just to have a formal place for thoughts about it. But, I don't know if it should be a Patreon or a Substack or an otherwise separate blog.

This Week on Party of One: DON'T KILL A BIRD WITH A BASEBALL FEAT. TOM HARRISON @tomharrison.bsky.social @ratbastardgames.bsky.social Tom from @animesickos.bsky.social, my actual favorite podcast, joins me as we try to avoid killing a bird w/ a baseball. www.partyofonepodcast.com/2026/04/05/4...

Want a look at what's coming this Spring to Party of One? We dropped a breakdown of the upcoming season over at @rascal.news! www.rascal.news/party-of-one...

unironically we play SUCH a good game and make SUCH a good narrative in my ep, like, i was genuinely delighted by the end of the session by how everything turned out and im excited for other ppl to listen >:3c !! >:3c superhero vs their creator

We've got some very exciting episodes in the next few weeks, including: Death of the Author by @goblinmixtape.bsky.social, feat. @isabel.kim We Did Start The Fire by @morganeilish.bsky.social, feat. @sarahgailey.bsky.social Not A Tabloid by @psychhound.bsky.social, feat. @badmachinery.com

I really gotta be more active on here, but I don't have anything to report on 😭 Full time job employed with none left over for hobbies or personal writing

I've been playing Crown Gambit all day, and I've been enjoying it a ton. Some really interesting worldbuilding, beautiful visual style, and delightful mechanics. The influenced response mechanic is one of my favorite mechanics I've seen in a minute.

I've been absolutely awful about posting here, but I've once again arrived in the fair city of Philly for PAX U. :3c

If you’re at PAX West, please come to the Relationship Between Game Design and Art Direction tomorrow, Sunday, on the main stage at 11am PT. If you’re not at the show you can tune in, and see me, your host, along with Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Minagawa! www.youtube.com/live/aB2WfPs...

It's always funny when formal commentary or academic publications try to extrapolate trends and deduce attitudes of a fandom at large off how a Fandom wiki is handled. 95% of the time, less than seven people maintain that wiki and the decision in question was unilaterally made by one despotic admin.

Last week of the month! That means last chance for you to submit community content to the mecha ttrpg newsletter:

I've confirmed, but I will be going to PAX U this year! I've been feeling the imposter syndrome again in the TTRPG space, as I haven't done as much as I hoped to in the past year, but we push through it.

Daggerheart's Environments can help you streamline your game prep while maintaining a balance between flexibility and utility. Here's my advice on doing it for yourself: youtu.be/h-ht-wMbrms?...

Come watch a weird, wonderful, and practically never theatrically screened movie with me!

It's actually been really great to have a stable job, but, man, it hasn't helped with the energy for creative projects.

The AV Club has a nice article up about Type Help (The game we’re remastering as The Incident at Galley House): www.avclub.com/game-theory-...

This is a beautiful article on Fallen London. The FL team put out some of the best writing in games *every single month*, and it’s wonderful to see that recognised. (Got quite emotional to see shroom-hopping mentioned, too: one of my first pieces of work for games.) www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/iv...

Mets broadcaster Keith Hernandez got buzzed by a foul ball in the booth and had no idea it was coming! 😂

I want to explore more TTRPG Adventures (not systems/rulesets/mechanics (i have plenty of those); prewritten adventures/settings/scenarios), but I don't like D&D-with-the-serial-numbers-filed-off Fantasy I like superheroes. Are there superhero Adventures that will get me excited to run them?

I think about this post so much

I went to a barcade in London and bought 36 tokens for 20 pounds. These "tokens" turned out to be American quarters and I have never felt so owned. Essentially I gave them $27 and got $9 back

Sports was one of America's most accessible forms of entertainment. Now it's paywalled, splintered and sold to the highest bidder. Fandom isn't being nurtured. It's being mined. For @nytopinion.nytimes.com on on the state of sports, and what it says about America: www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

I've talked a good bit over the years about the challenges of being a "successful" game designer & editor. We're doing amazing things at Wildmage Press, but times are hard and your support is what makes it possible! Grab a subscription, tell a friend, repost—every bit helps and is so appreciated. 💚
