I will be ❄️OFFLINE❄️ for the rest of December! I will not be checking notifications or DMs until next month. Living that analog life 💚 If you need to get ahold of me or want to *pen me a letter*, you can email me at [email protected] Otherwise, see y'all in January! Have a joyous solstice!

Wayward Autumnal @annethegnome.bsky.social A late 2024 release that I recently got to! There's a looming specter of "Over the Garden Wall" that haunts all UTAS APs, but Anne figured out how to not just avoid it but tell a wholly original, accessible story with a dynamite cast They're pretty good

I really enjoyed this book. It’s a dark, funny sapphic tale about an Eldritch monstrosity finding love 💕 it’s the kind of “cozy” I like: kinda fucked up. Also, Em read it and DEMANDED I read it. So now I pass this on to you 🦑

I will be ✨offline✨ for the rest of December, starting this weekend! No social media, no content creation, no scrolling, no streaming services, no DMs — ANALOG LIFE for a few weeks to restore my brain The ONE exception is I will be live reacting to Star Trek on @wheregnomeannegoes.bsky.social

LMAO Deanna's face has ~*~ subtitles ~*~

I'm watching #startrek TNG for the first time & live reacting, and I'm on S7E8: Attached And after the LAST EPISODE (i'm still teary), things better go GREAT for my sweet blorbos. No more trauma. Everyone gets a beach episode. Engage 🚀

Me: Star Trek is my *comfort show* that makes me *hopeful* and *joyous* A literal picture of me watching Star Trek:

I'm watching #startrek TNG for the first time & live reacting, and I'm on S7E7: Dark Page Lwaxana, queen of the yappers, is back and she's at FULL POWER let's goooooo Engage 🚀

Our most recent episode of Soapbox Game Mechanics ft the INCREDIBLE @willjobst.bsky.social is up on YouTube! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuqM... NOTE this is *by far* the longest we've spent deliberating which concept to go with, and that's because we secretly pitched 3 banger games instead of just 1

In 2026, I want to attend more TTRPG cons in Canada 🍁 West coast is a lot easier, but I can travel for a good enough event! Do any of my moots attend Canadian cons? What conventions do y’all recommend?

Hi friends! This is a reminder to AP producers who want to participate in this project uploading to @archive.org — please create an account and send me your username. I’m going to be offline for most of December, so I’m hoping we can get the first step done! 💚💚💚

LIVE NOW!!!

Today I listened to Laurie's House in its entirety. What a masterclass in story telling from @tendervicious.com. Absolutely beautiful in its sincerity. I cannot recommend it enough. Do your heart a service and take a listen.

📣📣CASTING CALL ALERT📣📣 Othersider Studios would like to announce "Horror for Two: An Intimate Horror Series"! In this series, we will be playing indie supernatural or horror ttrpgs designed for less than 3 people and to be played in only 1 session. Deadline: 12/20/25

Fabian’s work is INCREDIBLE— they know how to capture a ~vibe~ 😍😍😍😍

I'm looking for distinct, striking visual storytelling. Dynamic, engaging audio dramas. I need WOKE, I need DEI, I need the stuff that makes conservatives go, "Ewwwwww icky!" I have plenty of d&d so please hold that from my delicious sandwich!

TODAY!!

A lot of people have said that I am the best at keeping secrets but they were all of them deceived for I immediately forget what they tell me.

I FINALLY DEFEATED MY LAST FACEBOOK IMPOSTER!!!!!! OMG THIS IS SUCH A STRESS OFF ME 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

The webinar recording is now available! omnes.exeunt.press/p/design-wor... #gamedesign #libraries #publiclibraries #ttrpg

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games. If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here: evilhat.com/game-submiss...

Playing Tangled Blessings twice: first time it’s Little Witch Academia, second time it’s The Secret History

It delights me how overtly political so many cozy games are. I’m currently playing Discounty, where you open a supermarket franchise in a small town being crushed under megacorps and gerrymandering. And I’m having a great time.

Hi I’m watching this and I have a questions for ppl in the US Do y’all really not have musical instrument stores other than Guitar Centre? Are independent fabric stores really that rare? Do stores really only have an entrance from a rooftop car lot with no street front entrance? That seems illegal?

One Shot Podcast enjoyers! 2025 has frankly been banger after banger, but I'm looking to get weirder and more ambitious as I plan my 2026. Gently avoiding self-pitches for now: What games would you like to hear played on the show? What guests would you be excited to hear? Help me dream big!

My hot take is that trash books should look like trash books. If I see anymore smut with gilded pages and tasteful botanicals I’m gonna scream. LET BODICE RIPPERS LOOK LIKE BODICE RIPPERS! Book design signals something to the potential reader and I’m getting VERY MIXED SIGNALS

Just did my yearly check-in on “I don’t even need adhd meds — I’ve got my shit together”, going off the meds, and having everything fall apart WITHIN 2 DAYS Sigh. Same time next year?

NEXT EPISODE!!! I'm watching #startrek TNG for the first time and live reacting, and now I'm on S7E6 Phantasms and this opening scene with the fish eye lens on this hallway has me thinking the Enterprise would fit into backrooms as liminal horror 😵‍💫

I'm hungover 🥴 which means I have an excuse to BINGE THE EPISODES OF TNG I PREVIOUSLY WATCHED IN A FUGUE STATE and don't remember and didn't document teehee BACK TO #startrek TNG S7E4 & 5 Gambit p1 & 2!! Engage 🚀

FUN FACT ABOUT ME the first “novel” I ever wrote was a sprawling, meandering 100 000 word X-men fanfic I worked on from ages 13-15

EEEEEEEEE it’s HERE THIS BOOK IS STUNNING @naladraws.com this cover????? It’s gorgeous! I love the overall comic-bookyness of the design 🤩 Now I really want to play an X-men-inspired game

What TRRPGS am I craving? Rom Com Drama Bomb Tingleverse Moonlight on Roseville Beach Wanderhome Bluebeard’s Bride This Discord Has Ghosts in it Under the Autumn Strangely *sigh* I wanna play so many games

gratitude time! ttrpg folks: use this space to shout out someone in the space whose work, artistry, presence, etc. has impacted you for the better. tell me about why that is. let’s pass around some flowers today. go!

This my favourite Star Trek movie so far! And learning that it paved the way for TNG makes me love it EVEN MORE 🌎🐋

I'm now co-ordinating with 20 different AP producers to start an AP collection on the Internet Archive 🤩 Step 1: get the list of contacts ✅ Step 2: get everyone to make accounts at archive.org and send me their handles Step 3: start building records!

im live at twitch.tv/gnome_anne if you want to chat about the AP archive project but I will warn you, my energy is WILD right now so this might not be the *best* first impression -- or maybe it will be

I *think* I sent the checklist to everyone who contacted me about uploading to the Internet Archive — if I missed you, let me know The checklist is here allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iachecklist & the first item is “contact me” so I can help coordinate and support you if you hit hurdles 💚💚💚

hi all! I'm so happy to see the high level of interest, but I'm getting lots of replies on different threads & it's very difficult to keep track of. Please DM me or email me at [email protected] You don't need to wait for me! Get started now allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iachecklist

both me and my partner are in the thick of hyperfixations rn and the energy in this house is WILD 😂

If you are an Actual Play producer (or otherwise the copyright holder) and you are interested in uploading your show to the Internet Archive, please let me know and I can help you through the whole process! If we get 50 shows to coordinate, we can make a collection :) Message me here or email me!

I updated my guide to digital preservation of Actual Play to make it easier to navigate & added a little diagram to explain the relationship between backups, digital preservation & digital archives allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/digitalpres Also, now it has a glitter cursor.

I want to learn to draw just so I can make fan art of the TTRPGs I play.

A place of honor and goodness. A bastion of hope. A lighthouse in the long dark. A pillar of the community. YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY, BABY!!!

Apropos of ~nothing~, what name do you associate with old-soul-because-I’m-a-child-raising-children eldest daughter vibes?

I updated my neocities website with all the TTRPG panels I've hosted. Is this necessary? No. It's just embedded youtube videos. But there is a little kitty that will chase your cursor if you click it. allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/panels

Gosh I love Struthless. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fj-...

This is a @scarydogfriend.bsky.social appreciation skeet— Joe just makes,,,, ALL THE GOOD FRRRRRREEEEAAAAAKS and I’m always honored and horrified whenever we share a table
