Four ENNIE nominations for Daggerheart and/or the Quickstart Adventure. Which means that depending on how we count things, I'm either a three or four-time nominee. :)

*Severe bout of rejection sensitive dysphoria* Happy disability pride month to me! *waves tiny flag*

No stream today, but patrons will get a preview of my forthcoming environments book this week (possibly as early as today!)

Welcome to Disability Pride Month, also known as “Abled People Wrinkle Their Noses and Ask Why You’re Proud of THAT” Month, and let’s just handle this now: I am not proud of my disabilities per se. I am proud that ignorance hasn’t ground me into dust yet. I am proud of my fellow disabled people.

oh no sorry to hear that you’re not legally a person anymore. so anyway, we still on track to get this PR landed by thursday?

In 15 minutes I'll be joining Tom Christy of @d20play.bsky.social live to talk about game design, #Dnd Encounters, and other topics. Join us! youtube.com/live/pA3U84l...

i love being trans and i love all my trans friends

Having an Arya Stark list is not really healthy, but damned if the world wouldn't be a better place if like 10 particular people were not in positions of power anymore.

If they don't make court reform a non negotiable platform plank, find someone else who will. That is all

love to be trans in the U S of A

Court reform doo doo doodoo doodoo court reform doo doo doodoo doodoo

Thank you to everyone that let me know about my discord getting hacked. I'm getting everything cleaned up as much as I can now. Had 2FA on everywhere and they still got me, which is both frustrating and embarassing.

This is a good thing. It's a sign that Mamdani is looking for a way to keep his promises to the trans community - the way he's found will help independent providers spin up outside of the large hospital systems that are too reliant on federal funding to offer care.

disabled ttrpg designers: I'm hosting a disability pride month game jam on itch (running from July 1-August 31, 2026). this jam is intended specifically for disabled ttrpg designers to showcase our work. so join me! invite all your crip game designer friends to join in! spread the word!

I say writer, novelist, or game designer depending on the context. I don't mind giving the short explanation, and I've been able to avoid the "Oh I have a novel idea, you write it and we'll split the money" kinds of situations.

This is one hundred percent absolutely true.

Had an amazing design session with the @infinite-citadel.com triumvirate today and I rode the high all the way through my stream. :) Y'all are not ready for what we're cooking up. <3

the best chance the Prairieland anti-ICE protesters have is that we keep their names and their case on our lips as we eventually move to a post-Trump era, that we fight for their pardon as an essential part of departing from fascism.

Okay. Ai can go bankrupt then. This is not our problem, this sounds like a rich tech billionaire problem.

No one is experimenting with Daggerheart-compatible design like Jack Panic.

I really should have bought a computer in November of 2024 when folks realized that costs were going to balloon due to Trump's tariffs. At this point, I'm going to need to keep this desktop functional for another, what, 3-4 years to get back to a place where prices might deflate/stabilize?

Really proud of everyone who took a chance and submitted. The winners that @mikerunderwood.bsky.social and I chose to mentor have their winning entries, along with some honorable mentions displayed here: heartofdaggers.com/fear-fest/ Very excited to work with this crop of new writers.

For the last year and a half, I have been harassed by Emily Bell, also known as E.D.E. Bell, of Atthis Arts. I naively thought her harassment and false accusations would stop, but I was wrong. I'm now done being silent about this. www.patreon.com/jasonsanford...

A hurdle the prospective game-writer faces when making a "mech TTRPG" is that there are people interested in games about mech COMBAT and people interested in games about mech PILOTS and people interested in games about mech DRAMA, and most existing games hit one or two of those at best.

We are LIVE!!! 💙🖤

REALIS by @austinwalker.bsky.social is one of my most anticipated TTRPGs of the year. The earlier ashcan already showed Walker's critical eye, love of rich worldbuilding, and experience with the needs of players and GMs for collaborative worldbuilding. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru...

Happy Juneteenth! If you're looking for something cool to play today to support a black business in the U.S., check out some of my games. - Studio is Black-owned - Black characters - Black Voice Actors And racist trolls hate us ♥️ linktr.ee/aerial_knight

If you got the money to spare this #Juneteenth put it to use in supporting Black business, creatives and others. Find a Patreon, tip someone via ko-fi, chip in to a Go Fund Me or support by sharing folks work if you ain't got the coin.

One of the frustrating things about publisher discourse is that authors get hurt in the process. If you'd like to support Emma Burnett (who has a new book out), she has a patreon page. There's also "buy a post" options if you want to do a one time financial support. www.patreon.com/cw/sadtale

Morning, all. Felt the need to say something given a bit of discourse in Writer Land this week.

the feds are coming in hard in Minneapolis today it looks like, targeting legal observers. I heard this from a friend there: "An alert was just posted to lock your doors and don’t open them for ICE/officials without a signed warrant. Twin Cities Legal observers’ homes are being raided... [cont'd]

ICYMI, last week I posted some updates for the Daggerheart-compatible classes I've been working on, including the Adept (Arcana & Bone), Cursed (Midnight & Valor), and Sigilist (Blade & Codex). www.patreon.com/michaelrunde...

Bouncy castle moon LARP.

With Gen Con and Worldcon coming up very soon, plus an urgent need to just survive the rest of this month, any assistance this week would be greatly appreciated!

Entire adventuring parties soon became so dependent on the Bonus Action that it ceased being a meaningful economic stimulus and is now seen as an Action Recession indicator instead

Wizards introduced the Bonus Action in 2014 to stimulate dynamism and present options, but it merely sharpened action disparity between the classes.

NOW CASTING! I'm running my first Charity Stream on my Twitch Channel on Friday, June 26 featuring GM @valiantdorian.bsky.social! We'll be playing Daggerheart! forms.gle/fc67EPLGaBoo...

ICYMI, I shared my early notes for a Duality Dice mech ttrpg (drawing from the Daggerheart SRD but not necessarily a Daggerheart-compatible game) in a stream yesterday: youtu.be/_S25ryb2EiY
