We've been asked recently, so I want to be sure we're honest about our AI policy.

If I had my way my ttrpg marketing strategy would be putting it into a bottle and letting it go on the current.

here, take this tiny clodsire

Warm enough that my brain is just firing off thoughts now, but not in a useful way.

The world is being run by and for people who watched Blade Runner, loved the megacities and neon, and didn't think twice about the scene where a woman runs bleeding through plate glass windows while a cop shoots her six times in the back.

So I unfortunately can't make UKGE anymore, so I have a weekend ticket going spare

If you're heading to #UKGE and looking for a variety of indie #TTRPGs across a wide range of genres and playstyles, swing by our stand (3-510)! While you're there, why not ask about #StampQuest2026 Map courtesy of @jogbrogzin.bsky.social | www.jogbrogzin.com

I'm glad I put this out because I got half way through this post and realised: -Everything I want to say is obvious -Discourse is stupid -It's too fucking warm -I could be writing a mucky pub name instead The Drooping Frond There you go. PbtA discourse settled. Now lets all go do something else.

Ever think about how Vagrant Story looked incredible for a PS1 game and was full of incredible characters you saw exactly once and never again?

british fan chat

I think often these days of the Akutagawa story where a writer writes a generic eulogy for a man he barely knows and sits, consumed by shame and guilt as he watches it being read and the grieving family expressing their gratitude for hollow words that do not describe their son at all.

Trying to order my thoughts about the PbtA discourse, might post it if I shake something readable out of it. Yes this is an excuse to post this dumb joke.

It's not a bad exercise to rip the resolution mechanic out of a ttrpg and look at how the game is expressed around it.

Unfortunately one of the panelists we had lined up for the panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry at #UKgamesexpo has had to drop out. If you're going to be at #UKGE2026 on Saturday at 10:30 and are in the industry or an academic and want to take part, please DM me!

A reminder that one of the reasons why I didn’t apply to UKGE this year is their support of AI crap (not only they don’t have an anti-ai policy, but they were sponsored by AI-generated projects). So if you’re at UKGE next weekend, please support my friends and colleagues who make human-art!💙🙏

A reminder for #UKGE this year, who have no policy like the below: if you don't use AI in your work, swing by my stall (Hall 3, 621) or @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social (Hall 3, 914) for a free sign to let people know you aren't a lazy slop merchant 🥰

Fucking prophetic line

In Destiny 2, one of the raid bosses is Riven, a wish dragon. On defeat you go down her throat to retrieve an object. There was just one problem: we had no way to dynamically instantiate baked details like decorators, decals, and high quality lighting So I did the hackiest, most overwrought thing

Repeating my old Twitter adage: Is it "discourse" or is it one very loud wrong man we can all block?

Do not make your every thought and post about something or someone you hate.

Taking my Star Citizen character to the 'definitely not an arms show' show.

I grew up under Section 28 I was 19 before I realised I was queer I sobbed when I saw queer rep in a family fantasy film because that was so unimaginable to me as a kid This transphobic shit goes so far beyond that and is causing untold harm We will not give up on trans folk We will not be quiet!

fixed version if anyone cares

example one bajillion of how graphic design makes or breaks your tabletop rulebook

I love TAS

In 40k 2nd edition a Plasma gun, which didn't have the 'gets hot' rule yet and could shoot an even more powerful shot, was 8 points. A weaker, template range flamer was 9. Which makes no sense, until you learn 50% of the time they would set the target on fire.

a dungeon game is grimdark dungeon crawling focused on body horror and the consequences of violence. It's a super fast system with loads of free tools online, and it's pay what you want. More here: https://dungeon.loottheroom.uk

(no) thoughts, only soft desk bunny 📖: LOGiN, July 1987

It's not a muzzle, it's a respirator. Please don't be weird with the astechs when they're doing cockpit checks. And I don't care what you do in your private time but I don't want to see your girlfriend on the mechdeck in 'uniform'... Cause it gives clients a very wrong impression of who we work for.

Realisation that I have been so stressed today that I pulled a muscle in my neck. Thanks body, really cool.

I've been very fortunate to be able to build so many different Timelost Graves in Destiny 2 haha it started to become a theme for me

If you're a ttrpg publisher that's happy for me to put you on my writing pitch contact list, give this post a lil like. Would be so very useful

Me, not realising the mistake I'm making: Listen Poseidon, nobody here knows anything about your son.

Hitting the /doff too quickly and ruining the mood as I stand locked in place for a full minute you have nothing to doff you have nothing to doff you have nothing to doff

Destiny announcing the end of its new content has me feeling nostalgic. I truly wouldn't be making games if it wasn't for Destiny. So, I made my love letter to Destiny, LIGHT, free. Go out there as a Beacon, and fight the dark. gilarpgs.itch.io/light

Someone at a convention once said to a friend who was working the booth with me that he liked my work but he wasn't going to buy anything because "Chris is successful enough and doesn't need my money". Anyway I'm no longer a full time game designer because I didn't make enough money to live.
