One of the many, many reasons His Majesty the Worm (by @riseupcomus.bsky.social ) is first on my "next to try" list:

I just backed World Wide Wrestling 2E: Repackaged on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

One week in, and just about 25 more backers will get World Wide Wrestling 2E: Repackaged to fully funded. That's what, one Battle Royal's worth of ttrpg wrestle-curious fans? No wrestling knowledge necessary, and part of the campaign is more support for non-grapple-heads to play out the matches!

#TTRPGs and story game crowd: I'm looking for world-building games to help me flesh out the setting for Godflesh. The entire setting started from a Microscope game, and now I want to focus on more specific areas during the time period the game takes place.

Hey.👋 Release your tongue from the roof of your mouth. Relax your jaw. Relax your shoulders and neck. Breathe awhile.

I guess I need to update my resume.

חובבי משחקי תפקידים דוברי עברית, הסדרה הזו מתחילה מחר בערוץ של דונקי: youtu.be/KJvCcxxfqmc?... התוכן שלהם מצוין באופן די קונסיסטנטי, אז יש לי תקוות גדולות!

First draft of my new 2-page "I need a dungeon crawler for a single session, something I can play with newbies" game. @avivor.com , @evyatron.bsky.social , I imagine this even becoming the character sheet itself, in the future. GM gets their own 1 page, and also a 1-page dungeon.

We had a wonderful chat with Matt about Crystal Heart! Have a listen (or a look, youtube version available below) while you... draw a sexy Watto or Wait For The News, if I understand the bluesky zeitgeist correctly. #CrystalHeart

I'm bringing some copies of my CR-related Dark Horse comics (see ALT text for details) to the Bring and Buy at Leisure Games' event next week, with all profits going to charity. If you plan to be there and want something specific, let me know!

I scared the fox again 😔

After a far-too-long delay, a new episode is here! I got the chance to sit down with @avivor.com and @nnesk.bsky.social to talk about their upcoming graphic novel Crystal Hearts, their webcomic Up To 4 Players and whether or not a graphic novel can be an actual play

Please buy it

One benefit of running this reprint campaign is that it’ll give me the time to update the play aid downloads, add more support for “the actual wrestling”, and commission some new art!

Pre-order our chonky comic!

If you have people in your life who are in denial about the dangers of fascism and you want resources, I do have this video of my grandma speaking on Youtube. I've never watched it because I've heard the story so many times and it's hard for me, but it has half a million views so it must be good.

You ‘run the gamut’ and ‘run the gauntlet.’ You don’t ‘run the gambit.’ gamut = entire range or series gauntlet = severe trial Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

My bird feeder indeed feeds *a* bird, a specific one that seems to come every other day. It's a chonky tiny little thing and I wish it told its friends about this place it discovered.

This is Remy. She has 50 other toys. But why play with those when you can steal your brother Benny's instead. 13/10 for both
