“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

My brain at 7:30 am, no matter what time I went to bed:

Love to draw a rocket, and what better time than now? I keep doing variations on this one, it's a really fun thing for me. here is SPARK 3, an experiment mixing scribbles, halftones, crunchy pixels and paint. 🖼️🚀 print for your spacebase? www.inprnt.com/gallery/carl... #space #rocket

Mate of mine is looking to run a Cyberpunk-style #TTRPG online, and is looking for a website or software that would be good for building city maps. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not a game runner, so this is out of my wheelhouse!

Hello #ttrpg crowd, and I guess specially the european crowd. If you could give me a hand in answering this short survey, that would be absolutely amazing: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Random hard truth. The TTRPG industry (beyond D&D) is a niche hobby market that pretends to be a core hobby market. We aren’t knitting or crochet, y’all. Those are huge craft hobbies. We’re soap making. Just with a much lower barrier of entry.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

1 like = 1 TTRPG in my library (And quote this, #ttrpysky. I want to know what's in your TTRPG library too!)

With a broken Blue Bomber heart, I am no longer the voice of Mega Man. I was asked to return for Mega Man: Dual Override, but only on the condition I work without the protections of a union contract.

In the Dewey Decimal System, probably used at your public library, role-playing games can most likely be found at 793.93.

you know I would say her matching pink phone case really makes this, gives Goodwin a huge "sad loser man at the end of Legally Blonde" vibe

Snuck in right under the wire for #Zinetopia2026 - couldn't grab everything I would have liked, but it's nice to be able to support at least a few indie RPGs 💜

I have an absolute pile of indie RPGs I'm interested in backing for @backerkit.com's #Zinetopia2026 ...but I haven't been paid yet. Looks like I might have to choose only one or two for now! 😅 #IndieRPG #TTRPG

Modern D6 are boring. These 17th & 18th Century dice made Game Night with grandma far more exciting, were educational, and carried only a slight potential of being cursed, before Big Cube came in and ruined everything.

Days before Discord was set to begin enforcing its divisive age verification measures globally, the popular app announces a delay amid user backlash.

Just read that the new Neopets #TTPRG is using 5E, and Traveller is going to be converted to 5E rules...is this some kind of "everything eventually becomes crab" situation?

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Finally well enough to actually sit at my desk and take a proper look at the offerings for #Zinetopia, and...oh no. #ZineMonth #TTRPG #IndieRPG

Welp, there goes my plan to spend the New Year reaching out to all the lovely people I met at #DragonMeet in December! Have spent basically ALL of January unwell - I've even only just caught up on the @uktin.bsky.social Discord since the start of the year! 🙃

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day today, so I'm going to take a moment to recommend Man's Search For Meaning by Viktor Frankl. It's about his time spent in concentration camps, but it's not the read you expect. How does one find meaning in such desperate circumstances?

My partner's local VtM larp is running a motor race scene in their downtime. Someone just tossed a grenade, the Ravnos is about to use Chimerstry, the Giovanni pushed a zombie out of his trunk...it's basically Wacky Races, but with vampires. They've done ONE lap 😂 #TTRPG #LARP #VtM #Vampires

My last two shots before my world went dark.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

There are three cosy games on my wishlist currently on sale, and I have some Steam credit. I'm not sure I could play any rn (thanks health crash), but would love to know what people make of: - Wanderstop - Teddy's Haven - Winter Burrow If I could only pick one, which one should it be? 🤔 #CozyGaming

GM-less horror? Sign me up! They need to reach 400 followers on Backerkit for Zinetopia so, if this sounds like it's as much your jam as it is mine, head over to the link below and give them a follow!

Speaking of Arthuriana, here are some Knights of the Round Table figures I drew up for Patreon some time back.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Squeaked in one final book this year (found Hamnet up in a secondhand bookshop). Hit my goal nicely! My rule is that if I do, next year's goal goes up. But the most important thing is that I like, and want, to do it 💖 Looking forward to starting @thestorygraph.com's Jan pages challenge tomorrow!

Bill Clinton stepping up is not something I had on my scorecard. I thank him for doing so. 💙 Credit @occupydemocrats.bsky.social

He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief.

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

If you suddenly find yourself being followed on multiple platforms by this blue-haired stranger, don't get creeped out - I'm not (technically) a stranger, we will have met at #Dragonmeet, and I've just finally got through the pile of business cards I collected 🫣😅 #TTRPG #Roleplaying

I finally feel like I have some time to catch up on ideas, games, and people from Dragonmeet. Ideally it shouldn't be this many weeks later, but alas, here we are! 😅

For the UK crowd: my new zine, Booklet of Bounties, is now on Kickstarter. Weird fugitives, random tables & writing prompts to create bounty-hunting scenarios for your fantasy RPGs! Words by me, art by @toadlett.bsky.social and @hodagrpg.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mon...

I've come to the conclusion that Threads and Bluesky are not the place for the advent calendar photos, so I'm going to just stick with posting them on FB (ew but it's where most of my friends/family are) and Instagram. [1/2]

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

Day 8: Pistoeka sabotage droid, aka 'buzz droid' First seen during the opening battle of Ep3 Revenge of the Sith, buzz droids were developed for the Separatists to sabotage ships. They were deployed via a homing missile that could hold up to 7 of the little buggers! #LegoStarWarsAdventCalendar

Day 7: R7-A7 This little guy was Ahsoka Tano's astromech droid during the Clone Wars, working alongside her from late in season 1 until she went on the run after the Jedi Temple bombing in season 5. [1/2] #Lego #StarWars #AdventCalendar #Daily #Advent

Day 6: Cleaner Gonk Droid A late post today due to going out to the movies! Gonk droids are always kinda adorable. He's got a little spoon! I'm not sure why, but he has it! #Lego #StarWars #AdventCalendar #Daily #Advent
