Secrecy is Indonesia’s key weapon in West Papua. Keep it hidden → act with impunity → extract its wealth. Only international pressure can break this. Start with a UN Human Rights visit. No access = no accountability.

I say this as a big fan of Marathon- I want an extraction game based around rescue. Not military, but things like natural disasters, finding lost hikers, the white helmets, navigating flood waters, etc. I want an extraction game that celebrates the indefatigable human desire to save

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

West Papua is being erased in slow motion. Forests cut open. Villages emptied. People pushed from their land under the shadow of soldiers and bulldozers. One of Earth’s last great rainforests disappearing — while the world politely looks away.

I'm loving Daggerheart. Fear outside of combat feels like a gentle and super helpful reminder that the players should be driving as much of the events as the GM.

All members of ICE belong in prison. The current administration belongs right there with them. Anyone in government not actively working to get rid of them are accomplices who are equally guilty.

One discussion true nerddom is not ready for is how much copaganda Nathan Fillion has been an enthusiastic part of.

When your (@emilygreymoore's) character backstory is so impactful and engaging it demands a mini-series that pulls award winning performances out of the players and GM

Another amazing thing to start my year & hopefully a sign of a prosperous 2026. Again a massive thanks/congratulations to @oakleafinsignia.games, @ddungeondiving.bsky.social and @pcperini.com who all made this so successful. Never thought my character's backstory could create something so epic!

I'm sure you'll all see an official announcement from @uepodca.st soon, but we won Best Overall Actual Play at the Hollywood Series for Small Gods Scatter!! So proud! Thank you to @pcperini.com @oakleafinsignia.games and @ddungeondiving.bsky.social without whom this wouldn't have been so awesome!

He is keeping poorer families out of these professions. It’s modern day red-lining.

Even Fizban's gets it #ttrpg #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Gonna be a long game between these two #rockets #houstonrockets #denvernuggets #nba #basketball

My favorite part of The Lion King is in Hakuna Matata where they walk across the log and time passes and it shows Simba grows up and it's just that Timon and Pumbaa found this half-dead kid of a species that could eat them, who had a dark trauma, and they raised him with love and comfort and joy

I only just realized as a millennial how our generational heartache of losing two truly good role models for joy and exuberance in Steve Irwin and Robin Williams. No,we didn't know them, but they were showing us how to live joyously and kindly. I believe the lessons stuck before they passed.

Thank you so much, Sydney Web Fest, for naming Small Gods Scatter BEST ACTUAL PLAY PODCAST 2025! @emilygreymoore.bsky.social, @ddungeondiving.bsky.social, and @oakleafinsignia.games burned the HOUSE DOWN in our story of love and loss.

I am proud to announce Ill be the GameMaster for an upcoming Cosmere RPG! Presenting Dying Storms!

Thanks for the shout-out @brianbarrish.bsky.social ! Stoked to eat some dirt and kick some leather at @usafl.bsky.social Nationals!

Hades II has given me far too many dungeon and monster ideas to throw in the games I run for kids...

"you gotta honor the freaky little light in your heart" - BLM

This was a lovely read and I'm super grateful I got to narrate!

My audiobook got approved!! Available on Audible, and eventually Apple Books. Thank you Nick Plaisance from @ddungeondiving.bsky.social for putting in all the hard work. It sounds so good, like storytime near a fireplace. #audiobook #cacophonyofcrowns #authorsofbluesky 💙📚🪐

Cars 2 is a bit of a fever dream, but Cars and Cars 3 may tell the best racing story in cinema second only to Rush

Today's Run Song: "Jim's Ride" by Bruce Rowland, The Man from Snowy River The song that ignited my lifelong love of orchestral music and had me ugly crying at the end of a 10k today. Original poem by Banjo Paterson, beautiful, powerful, lasting.

This was an incredibly fun and wild and heavy game to play test. Y'all...it's SO GOOD! GO GET IT!

Your world has ended. You’ll still rule it. Ivory Tower’s a Sparked by the Resistance TTRPG made by me! Play archmages vying for sole control of their flying city as the world ends around them. As of today, all 200 pages of it are available for download on Itch! riftkidgames.itch.io/ivory-tower

I have a toddler, which means I've finally watched Cars. The destruction of the American township by interstate? Check The emptiness and isolation of fame? Check The corruption of hobbyism by capitalist competition? Check The revival of community by mutual aid? Check Cars has it.

Saw Superman. Family in front had a fiveish year old fully decked out in Superman shirt, hat, Justice League blanket, and Superman action figure. When the music swelled, and Superman flew, that kid raised his toy up and flew too. Peak movie going experience.

Sometimes, I waver a bit at my TTRPGS for kids business. But then, I'll realize I've had this one kid for two years, all he ever does is cast fireball and reluctantly expand on ideas, but his mom says dnd with me and his party is one of his favorite things. And, I know there's somethin there.

One of my players (teen) gave us a beautiful moment. I wanted an RP moment to explain how his Echo Knight first manifests his Echo upon lvl up. So, as he's asleep, he's dreaming, and his wife (yep) wakes up and finds this echo of him, sleep/dream walking in the kitchen, cooking food with his dad.

Players: "What was the name of the again?" Me: "Sargeant Kirkland" Players: "Right, and his horse?" Me: "Hotdog" Players: "Haha! Wait...where were we staying?" Me: "...Hole's Ale tavern..." Players: "Name of the town" Me :"...." Players: "Say it" Me: "Ostkompia-" Players: "How dare you"

Starting the day with a healthy, balanced bre- I put a fistful of Cheerios into my coffee, what do you want from me?

Not one of my DND kids flawlessly explaining how a "rug pull" scheme works, while the characters are having it out with a noble who's implicated in a smuggling ring. Zoomers are done with this crap.

Indonesian troops stand accused of widespread killings, mutilations, and kidnappings in #WestPapua’s central highlands. Yet the indigenous population has struggled to draw international attention to the atrocities in the region. Read: jacobin.com/2025/06/west...

Listening to a @yourewrongabout.bsky.social about the fake **tler diaries, and I had the stunning and painfully obvious realization of why Luthen's "antiques" shop is such a brilliant cover and commentary in Andor.

one of the worst people in human history. a Pol Pot level of monster www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

The announcement that as part of the Netflix deal Sesame Street will simultaneously stream on PBS for free elicited and "oh!" and reduced me to tears, in case anyone was wondering

Running ttrpgs for kids has given me so many opportunities to play villains terrified of catharsis. Villains who are stuck in the open-nerve stage, the trauma stage, the guilt stage. Then, to come out the other side. Because without fail, that's what these kids want. The kids want healing.

Me, Teens in Space GM: "Ship is rolling, one pirate diving past you toward pilot's chair with weapon out. As a floating, plasmoidy being, Jellibelle, you are the only gyroscopically stable person. Wdyd?" Jellibelle's player (teen) : "...I pull out a knife" Me: "From where!?" J: "My body. Knife."

hey if you've never played with or in a game run by @thenoirenigma.bsky.social you need to find a way to manipulate the fates cause even just a one-shot was so much fun!

Not me brought to tears by every Planet Earth III episode, Attenborough knowing his time his short and professing, of all people, that he hasn't done enough to bring folks to the wonders of the world.

"Don't kill the part of you that's 'cringe', kill the part of you that cringes" - Eugene Healy on how Zoomers have grown up in a surprisingly (behaviorally) conservative culture because of the Millenial experience of growing up with every facet of our lives up for critique and memeification

Kids ttrpgs Party: Horror-action movie, facing off against the Vampire lords' monster The single roleplay obsessed party member: Screwball comedy as they try to gaslight-gatekeep-girlboss the Vampire lord into a full paranoid meltdown at the prospect of revolutionaries hiding amongst his staff.

Not me only today finding out Ashley Johnson was in freaking Lionheart.

my bedtime humming medley for my toddler: The Lord of the Rings Suite- Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold- The Ludlows- The Letter that Never Came- Jurassic Park- Apollo 13- Down By The River - Band of Brothers Suite- Cast Away- The Decider

AAARGH! (Yes, I'm screaming again) We just hit 100 backers!! Half way through the campaign now... I wonder how many The Cunning Folk will lure in before the end 👀

I think I'm doing a good job because my toddler is running around the house saying, "Have patience!"
