In Amberspire, you'll build a city on top of an enormous, abandoned mausoleum. So, naturally, we needed a historian's eye for the game's writing and worldbuilding. Here's how Holly used micro- and macro-history in Amberspire's narrative design: https://lunardivision.net/micro-and-macro-history/

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

Tune in Monday and listen to Valiant and I talk about TTRPGs and stuff! It'll be a good time!

I love running the TTRPG bluesky feeds, but it's not the cheapest thing in the world. If you wanna support them, consider joining the IC Patreon or back Mörk Sol on Kickstarter. Both of those help me keep making things, which helps me fund the feeds! www.patreon.com/InfiniteCita... morksol.com

@franxurio.bsky.social OMFG I was just about to post this guy and ten seconds prior you liked my reply, what 😂 Finished this cute duo quite a while ago. Wanted to paint them but never did so I give up 😂 #3dprint #figurine #arttoy #3d #commissionme #openforwork

Do I know anybody that’s tried the Multiverse TTRPG? The core book & expansions are over 50% off ATM. Don’t know if this game was a flop or just a good deal right now? Core book amzn.to/48rd8qe Kang amzn.to/4pwPlMu X-men amzn.to/4iwnolF Spider-Man amzn.to/3KxojFR Avengers amzn.to/4pJB1Ap #ad

Today is Creator Day on @itch.io! For 24 hours, Itch doesn't take a cut from sales, meaning creators keep 100% of the money you spend. As is tradition, I want to spend the day boosting as many indie #ttrpg people as possible, so if you have games on Itch, drop them here!

One of the uber good humans in gaming and learning! #ttrpg #tabletopgames

If you've had your eye on something on itch, now's the day to click the "buy" button.

It's ITCH'S CREATOR DAY! Time to support your favourite creators and, if you are one such creator, plug your projects! Comment below with either: (a) ONE game/supplement/hack on itch OF YOURS that you'd love to see more people playing! AND/OR (b) ONE of the above, but someone else's work! 💛

For anyone browsing holiday deals today, remember to also check out sellers like @ipr.bsky.social and @tabletopbookshelf.com. Your purchases there go towards the creators and businesses that support the indie TTRPG space.

And a really really good guy #gamedesign #tabletopgames #ttrpg #udl

Everyone knows about Sir Terry Pratchett, but I didn't think we give Tolkien enough credit for knowing what's up and being pissed about it.

I'm not doing a Black Friday sale for my games this year. But you should buy them anyway because they're good games! It's also itchio creator day so 100% of the money you spend on any games goes straight to me which helps me create more games! margaretcatterdevelopment.itch.io

This conversation went many places and throughout I was more than anything soaking up Lisa's passion + love for this work—exactly what I needed, too, and hopefully something others can take something away from: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/h...

“Scientists understand that failure is an inherent part of learning” - Anne-Laure Le Cunff at #SXSWEDU 2025

"What would happen if instead we replaced self blame with systematic curiosity? ...asking without any self judgement, where is this problem coming from? Is it coming from the head, the hand, the heart?" - Anne-Laure Le Cunff at #SXSWEDU 2025

#SXSWedu enjoying the keynote focusing on Tiny Experiments —reminds me of Small Teaching, Atomic Habits. Success=learning something new rather than some pre-determined goal

"You don’t need buy-in. You can just do it. And you should." - Anne-Laure Le Cunff at #SXSWEDU 2025

Hearing from @neuranne.bsky.social at @sxswedu.com right now She's asking, "How might we value curiosity over certainty in schools?" I'm 20000% onboard and trying to push out the gatekeepers from the back of my head who demand certainty to measure success #SXSWedu #criticalcreativity #edusky
