At @adventurex.bsky.social I gave a talk on creating stories from scratch: from idea to full outline, in 25 minutes, with jokes. Enjoy!

I did a keynote thing! Back in November, the folks at @adventurex.bsky.social kindly invited me to speak to a rowdy and welcoming crowd of game devs, which I did, and now there's video proof! The topic: IMPOSTOR SYNDROME Thanks again. It was a blast. Can't wait to see y'all again in November :-)

FFS Put government resources and people's time into courses on critical thinking and digital literacy rather than teach everyone in the UK how to surrender their cognitive and creative abilities to the algorithm.

Giving away a hodge-podge collection of TTRPG things, all in pretty good condition: Carbon 2185 Deathwatch Rifts Sourcebook Number One Dragon Warriors Advanced Bestiary (3.5e) Hammer & Helm (3.5e) Arcana Societies of Magic (3.5e) There Days to Kill (3.5e) The Tide of Years (3.5e)

When I first played Outer Wilds I frustration-quit pretty quickly. But the start of AboutOliver's playthrough of it oozed so much genuine joy of exploration and discovery that I just had to try again, with a refreshed mindset. Finished yesterday. Highly recommend both. youtu.be/-ygeCNDJyaI?...

I'm a sucker for a quick, simple, clever, engaging TTRPG about dungeon crawling - so I too am waiting for the launch of... www.kickstarter.com/projects/mic...

Filled in an application for @upto4players.bsky.social! The last time we tried was 2020 and we got in...but you know how that year turned out. Would be really cool if we could bring Crystal Heart (and ourselves) to Thought Bubble this year!

Our warehousing & fulfillment is based in Minnesota. The company is closed today (their employees are getting paid). We fully support them in their struggle against federal occupation of the state. If you are not in MN, here's a link to some ways you can stand up and take action. iceoutforgood.org

In case you've never seen the best car chase in cinema...

I just thought everyone should see this

The inconvenient truth here is that there's almost no money in TTRPGs, which means that A) the field is full of deeply unprofessional people B) basically every success story comes from pre-existing money C) idealistic notions that this time it'll be different make it easier to exploit people.

best reasons to make art: #1. horny #2. you found something weird and fucked up inside yourself and you want to work through it #3. angry. #4. all of the above at once.

It can be hard to keep on track, especially in the middle of an encounter. It isn't fully comprehensive, but I designed this #Pathfinder2e basic action guide to keep things moving at my table. Interested? Download at charted-encounters.itch.io #TTRPG #TTRPGCommunity #Pathfinder

What I’d do if I started making ttrpgs in 2026: - Create zines initially - Pitch to established publishers - Focus on less art and better layout - Don’t chase trends or awards - Collaborate more - Don’t rely on crowdfunding - Promote unashamedly - Judge success against your own progress

I enjoyed the cartoony style I used for the AdventureX project last year and wanted to add it as a commission option, so I drew a couple of new samples. - Jean, @evyatron.bsky.social's rogue/technologist from our long Zeitgeist 5e campaign - Rock Bottom, my half-orc from a short Savage Worlds game

Friendly neighborhood biologist here. I see a lot of people are talking about biological sexes right now. Lots of folks make biological sex seem really simple. Well, since it’s so simple, let’s find the biological roots, shall we? Let’s talk about sex...[a thread] (Reposted from the other site)

happy It's Been More Than A Week Since I Last Yelled At You About Crystal Heart day!

Beyond the Woods, by Emmet Byrne, has a free preview on @drivethrurpg.com featuring Legend in the Mist rules: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Okay what the actual fuck this actually looks hilarious youtu.be/ZfNLApPCa8E

And also, since I've played with @nnesk.bsky.social enough, I sense his voice coming through the pages. It's so cool. Crystal Heart is a must-read for every role-playing fan out there .

New quest for those of you in Ustalav in a Pathfinder 2e campaign. Get that stormcrowm dragon HRT! #pathfinder #pf2e

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

If you bought #CrystalHeart on a platform with ratings and enjoyed it, could I ask you to take a second to rate it? Or even a couple of minutes to write a 2-sentence review. Our only review on a couple of big websites is 1 star, "down from 2 because of the added romance" 🙄

Looking for a xmas gift for the ttrpger in your life? How about... the #CrystalHeart graphic novel?

I got my print copy of @upto4players.bsky.social @avivor.com @nnesk.bsky.social’s Crystal Heart collection today. I’m really excited to reread it all again, as it remains one of my favorite gaming comics. The story and art are wonderful, and the way it teaches Savage Worlds is inspired.

Exciting!
