Our page appears frozen but *you can still pledge.* Please, please, please tell everyone you know that the Public Access campaign is still going, despite this catastrophic glitch. Please re-post. www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

I'm starting to be concerned that, in addition to the current KS meltdown, our 48 hour warning email also did not go out. If you saved Public Access but did not pledge, please reply here letting me know if you received your 48 hour warning email from KS. PLEASE re-post this message.

Wowwwww Kickstarter is borked right now. Please continue to look at the TTRPG Public Access because it is so seriously an amazing game, and you want it in your collection. Don't miss out!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

The verb "check" (to examine) comes from check (to hinder/stop, in the sense of a mandatory search), which comes from the metaphor of putting into check (from chess), the game itself being named from the Latininized form of the Persian "shah", or king. The king is watching you.

Finally watched The Dark Crystal and in addition to being a tour de force of puppetry and practical effects, I never realized how much of a source text for later fantasy it is. Skeksis are Halosians of course, but also Garthim are mirelurks, Mystics are Mu Mou... and they sing the Oath to Order!?

A revised version, more refined and complete with layout, is now available. binary-star-games.itch.io/death-has-co...

This week I put on my witch hat to take advantage of geometric mage progression. Episode 6 of Rose Playing Games is out!

New Blogpost: Play Is Canon What are the sources of "truth" about the world of your tabletop setting? For me, the paramount truth derives from play itself. This is my synthesis of blorb and anti-canon. #osr #ttrpg

Hard at work harmonizing the Aarne-Thompson and Oakeshott typologies. Is a type XIV (short, broad, sharply pointed) equivalent to a type 302B (Life Dependent on Sword)?

It's very difficult to make mistakes no one has made before after so much past innovation in the field. We stand on the shoulders of stumbling giants.

Type of guy: pronounces the p in "raspberry".

Made a passing reference to mola salsa (a mixture of emmer wheat and salt sprinkled by the Vestal virgins onto sacrifices) and found out that I shouldn't do that because even most well-informed people think I'm talking about something for dipping tortilla chips in.

⚡ NEW BLOG POST! I'm back talking about adventure design, this time laying out a mental model for 'energy' inside of an adventure. It's a simple and effective way to categorize elements inside of the scenario and look for stagnation and chaos. Check it out! ⚡ www.mindstormpress.com/energy-coin-...

Lately I've been going back and reading books from the 2000s that had always heard were good, and the last three have been resoundingly... okay, I guess. Either joy has fled my soul in the intervening years, or I have cultivated Perfect Taste in that time.

19K!!!!! CAN WE GET TO 20 IN 14 HOURS!!!!!!!!!

Highly shaped.

Ever since I was a small child it was my dream to make myself legible to capital

I want to start using reaction rolls for locations now, too.

Consider the TTRPG potential of the Megaman Stage Select screen.

Update: I am pleased to report that I went back today and learned how to do the hat jump, even collected several power moons using it. The curse has been lifted, I am free now.

I beat Super Mario Odyssey without ever learning to do the hat jump (I knew of it but thought it was a speedrunner thing and the main game never requires it) and I've always felt a small but palpable sense of loss about it.

I feel like there's a Platonic "talking to people" game out there in conceptual design space that we haven't quite grasped yet - something that focuses on the basic act of roleplaying but expands it into a multi-session campaign structure about making friends and solving social problems.

Last night's dream: slightly divergent timeline in which Pixar was founded earlier and made Finding Nemo in the late 90s, leading to a cel-animated Saturday morning cartoon spin-off about Nemo going to fish school.

Another playtest of Dungeon Sludge yielded a fresh crop of WLGs (Weird Little Guys).
