so grateful that the first working day of the year is a friday... i needed this soft launch

i like waking up to see that it snowed last night. i see, it was hard to get up not because i am ill-disciplined but because my body is deeply attuned to the natural world

TTRPGs get its own year in review post, since it was a big year for me! i played 28 games and published 5 projects on itch. it's also my first year in the hobby, actually rain.leaflet.pub/3mbcrxcxu3c2z

fav nails from this year, all by @grandma.love.plant on ig

if anyone needs a bookmark...

only fun stamps from this household

Less than a week left to back Mud Ghost Estate Redux on Kickstarter! ✨ MGER is a TTRPG inspired by Hong Kong folklore and urban legends with a tumbling tower mechanic, where you play as teenagers in the 90s exploring a haunted housing estate built in the 60s. 👻 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...

playing a wretch in @alfredvalley.bsky.social’s dungeon pulp this morning, coffee is great too and such a fun way to introduce people to the hobby

started a rewatch of game of thrones ystd. just finished ep2 and they have already used a rider in the night to deliver messages multiple times… there’s a game in here

love turning to my bf and saying ‘new game idea’ at least thrice a day. already at 2/3 today: 1) you play as the anonymous animals in a google doc 2) zine game but zine has a fun shape (from avapoof on ig)

was gonna play the tears from stone module i just got but didn't get to start because i was having too much fun drawing my character, storm rot. back this game so we get more mermons!

my version of an advent cal is picking 24 comics from my tbr and reading one every day starting strong with temple by jack t. cole. a foxling finds a dilapidated temple and sets out to reinvigorate its magic. wordless yet transportive, the quiet makes room for the world before and after these pages

dragonmeet haul! was lovely seeing so many friends across various communities that i play with under one roof

made a pocket zine drawing game to give out at dragonmeet!!

one of the in-game social media sites is ribbit 🐸 so i made an account for rosco

the algo just served this up. i have no clue what dungeon synth is but i think i need to find out

making a lil zine to hand out at dragonmeet

the buzz after playtesting when you’ve found a dozen ways to make the game better

made a website for my hardwired island character's radio show about urban legends roscoobydoo.neocities.org

it has legs!

been talking loads abt making games but i’ve also been playing hard! mon was victorian london in the between. v fond of the unscene as both a narrative and pacing mechanic. my char ended the night in a gambling den with a newfound good luck charm, a bible with its noah and the ark pages ripped out

started working on something new tonight! it’s a mausritter roll and write, i think it’d be fun attempting to capture the game’s flavour in another form

my DURF jam submission! the giant vultures that used to loom over mount carrion have all vanished overnight. the birdwatchers’ guild has entrusted you with restoring things to what they once were. it’s my first adventure so i wanna talk a lil more abt the process

poker cards encounters in the last 12 hours: catching up with postmark games’ 52 duels announcement, playing Jimbo’s game in don’t starve together and forgetting to prepare for winter and starting chuck tingle’s lucky day

got a layout now and working on some art today. hardest part about the last mile is fighting the urge to start new projects

making things is such a great forcing function for learning things. so far, i’ve looked up: - vulture facts - how to pamphlet module - what makes good traps - how to key a room - what kind of spiders live in caves - halftone brushes to match DURF’s style - how to affinity publisher

working on this project piqued my interest in pop up mechanics and i’ve been learning more abt the craft

wanton mee for lunch

working on a one-shot adventure for DURF. it’s got giant vultures, humanoid bulldogs birdwatching, witches, a birthday party and more

a smrt inspired dungeon would actually be so neat

Just saw this described as a "messed up London commute through a psychedelic dungeon". I'm sold.
