It's not okay to make PBR your drink of the week. Learn from my shortcomings.

I chatted with the greatest of unclean ones about @sandroad.moe's Burnout Reaper and Digital Angel, violence and exploitation in games, and violence against games when censorship is a function of the flow of capital. Check out the extended convo in the link below.

Are you a physical retailer or digital shop owner? Do you want to stock an ethically made tarot deck, microfiction collection and dungeon generation tool? We’d love to hear from you - our DM’s are open! The Mordant Arcana, from our hearts to your shelves! Shares and reposts would be great!

Great breakdown of the censorship's current threat to gaming and culture at large. I can't help but appreciate the irony of the potential best-case scenario of gooners fighting to save "woke" games just so they can play Hentai Armpit Simulator 6. youtu.be/dzVF6x2XWoU?...

A new douchebag for NINJA BORG, inspired by an old douchebag from the nursing home. Made in a matter of minutes. #fucktacotits #wheresdonnie #releasetheepsteinfiles

A dungeon on your doorstep! Duginthroat Divided is a 124 page (and counting) campaign starter for Old School Essentials coming to Kickstarter Oct 6th! (Pre-launch starts sep 9th) inspired by the works of HP Lovecraft and Astrid Lindgren and featuring more than 100 keyed locations!

I chat with the Mörk bois about the risks of collaboration and crowdfunding, including what happens when people you trust steal shitloads of money.

American Ninja was released 40 years ago today.

Final 48, folks

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the 7th episode of Dirty Pair, "愛こそすべて命賭けます逃避行!!" or "Love Is Everything, Betting Their Lives on Elopement", one of the most overtly trans-positive episodes of anime of its era. This was the future they predicted for us in 1985. We can still get there.

Product is making its way to the dojo. In the last ten days or so the ninja boxes and cassettes have arrived. The final delivery is books, estimated for this coming Monday. #ninjas #bongcoffin #fucktacotits

Faces of Gamescom. Come visit us in the indie area and play the award winning* game MÖRK BORG Heresy Supreme. *Oh yeah, we won the Indie Arena Booth Game Maker Award yesterday.

Our chat about Lichoma was so epic that it caused most of the audio to implode. But you can still check out our talk about Depth Charge's Murder by Contract after a couple stiff drinks and very little context.

If you're a small press or independent tabletop creator who must soon halt shipments to the US because of Trump's axing the de minimis tariff exemption, I want to hear from you. email: [email protected] or, [email protected] DMs: open

I was tequila rich but lime poor.

In my mind, the Trump-Putin meeting is going to be just the two of them sharing a hotel room, getting up to wacky hijinks, and learning important lessons about respecting other people. Then they'll put on the chaps and spurs and fuck really hard to the William Tell Overture.

Entering the final stretch before we fund!

since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead

Well now that GenCon is over and we stand on the precipice of NINJA BORG's release... next year's ENNIES will have a "Most use of the word fuck" and "Boners" categories and we will win both.

Hello again, tabletop RPG designers! The second Bannerless Games Tabletop RPG Grant is now taking applications! I'm looking to award up to 10 grants at $200 apiece. Applications open until the end of the month. Apply here: bannerless.games/grants

Folks frequently ask: Josh, are you going to make an official HIS MAJESTY THE WORM Tarot? My answer: Prolly not. But in the meantime, my vote for coolest tarot project is probably this. It's got Worm Juice.

Stega and Tessa been cooking

Rain coated the world like oil paints on a canvas, sending blues and reds rippling against each other in the grand lake of existence. The boundary between everything was soft, and concepts were making love in the back alleys of the hoi polloi’s subconscious.….

Let's call it what it is: a cultural crisis.

Join the Breakup Gaming Society for episode 96 complete with an interview with @liberludorum.com about Carolina Death Crawl! Lemonade Beer Punch not provided. #podcast #TTRPG #SouthernGothic (Nujabes, you are *still* missed.)

This was one of the best drinks and worst hangovers I've had in a while. Talking about it, Carolina Death Crawl, and Nujabes was great fun, though.

Almost all of NINJA BORG is produced or is in production at this point. Only outstanding items are the boxes and cassettes. Music is still being recorded and doing a little shopping around for the best timeline/price without sacrificing quality for the boxes.
