If you're not hiring Nate to write words this actual moment, literally what is wrong with you? Golden opportunity to get some syllables off the best word-maniac this planet has to offer.

So, me and Sash have been learning about pro wrestling this year, and have been watching old shows as homework and, well, I might be missing something, but it does seem like HHH, who is billed as "The Cerebral Assassin", has the signiture move of "using a sledgehammer"...

New rule: If you can look at a TTRPG table where everyone's having a good time and say "Uh, you're actually doing it wrong" or even "You're actually wrong about how much fun you're having", then I don't have to respect your opinions on game design.

IF YOU HAVEN’T, GO LISTEN TO EPISODE 105: THE MENAGERIE! This episode features the incomparable @jonnysims.bsky.social who is not only a live wire of talent, but an incredibly thoughtful craftsman- he brought a depth and complexity to Quinten that blew us all away! Go treat your ears OR ELSE!

Oi! If you haven't backed the Holmwood Season 2 crowdfunder yet, you're very much missing out. It's a real good show and I'm not just saying that cause I'm in it. But also: I'm in it!

What is blood? I don't know, and to be honest, I'm not convinced that Miyazaki does either!

Hey, you know how you're always saying "Jonny, why isn't there a good TTRPG about collecting and battling adorable monsters?" Well, some good friends of ours had the same thought, and they decided to so something about it! Check it out - it's properly excellent. www.kickstarter.com/projects/ilg...

[FromSoft NPC voice] Lookin' to get confused by Bloodborne lore, are ya? Heh heh hehhhh...

Hello there! there is a new episode of All My Maidens coming soon, but in the meantime, a patreon! the podcast will continue to be free, but we're going to be uploading bonus episodes, starting with Bloodborne on Halloween, featuring the celebrated @jonnysims.bsky.social patreon.com/allmymaidens

NEW PATREON DROP! This month we've put out a new adventure for Pitcrawler: DEPTHS OF THE BLOODY PITS. It's a gorey little romp full of foolish nobles, communist vampire and lots and lots of blood. Its also the first in a trilogy we're titling IDOL HANDS. Enjoy! www.patreon.com/posts/new-pi...

Guess who's writing some prompts for a silly dungeon-crawl party game? (It's me. I'm doing it.)

Consider me, a hater, silenced.

Hey, we're at the @dungeonsandflagons.bsky.social Geek Fayre today, so if you're around Manchester, come say hi! Its in the Sacha hotel, just off Picadilly Gardens.

"Bring a bag" @alexanderjnewall.bsky.social says to me before todays in-person readthrough "got a bunch of junk people keep sending you" then presents me with this from my last birthday. You people are ridiculous, but I'm very touched.

Incredibly hot take, especially as the game itself is only okay, but I think ND-5 is the best droid in Star Wars.

I'm gonna be here all three days, so if you're at UKGE come say hi, buy some games, have a chat, buy some games, and while you're there maybe buy some games!

We've added a new stretch goal to unlock: A potential guest episode with @jonnysims.bsky.social from The Magnus Archives! For more info on the campaign, visit theredactedunit.com/ks and share/retweet this! @rustyquill.com

We're finally up to maybe my favourite Protocol character to write thus far

As someone who works in games publishing, if you want to buy games, your first stop should always be your local games shop if you have one (they'll always be happy to order stuff in for you), or direct from the publisher if you don't. Almost all boardgame/TTRPG publishers also sell direct.

KILLJAM XXX Episode 2 - coming Wednesday, April 30! Faustina Fetamine just can’t catch a break - Meet new allies, new enemies, and discover the sinister plot to take the KILLJAM Queen down for good! And you thought the first episode was wild… The best is yet to come, baby! 🩵 GET XXXCITED!

@chrismcfeely.bsky.social I havent been able to find the Transformers: The Basics episode on this guy. Any idea when it's dropping?

You understand my vision.

Has any catoonist, illustrator or fine artist ever been a bad enough dude to draw a skeleton with stubble? Or is it simply too cool to depict?

This man sneezed directly in my face and I demand his immediate arrest.

The only defense against Fascism that doesn't leave us bleeding out is accepting this simple truth: There are no disposable people.

Me and Sash, currently getting into The Wrestling: "Oh cool, they've made this John Cena guy a heel. What a fun twist!" Fans who've been watching for twenty-plus years:

While obviously JK Simmons is the definitional in the role, there's a part of me that's sad we never got a late-80s/early-90s Spiderman movie with Jesse "The Body" Ventura as J. Jonah Jameson. Never been a man more ready to demand pictures of Spiderman.

Join Alex and I tonight as we tell you a couple've tales that we didn't even write!

Recently realised that there haven't been any significant technological inventions or innovations for *15 years*. Everything's been grifts, hype or bigger numbers that don't really change anything. And that's only if you count VR, otherwise its nothing since streaming and smartphones (mid-2000s)

Tick tock!

Sasha's already writing an encounter for this marvellous collection of quiet travel events for Fantasy TTRPGs from @josh-hivemindgames.bsky.social. Now you have 30 hours to make sure I am as well - I believe in you! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiv...

Very excited to be contributing a playset to this!

[Chanting] UNLOCK SASH! UNLOCK SASH! UNLOCK SASH!

You know, I've been thinking. It's been the prevailing wisdom in indie TTRPG circles has been that the D&D boom of the last decade has broadly been good for us, as a (very) small percentage of D&D players would transition into the wider hobby. But the longer I've watched the less true that seems.

"Jonny, we love your games writing, but we also love your Magnus writing, I hate that we have to choose between them!" Is that you? Them great news! I'm writing two adventures and a few extra bits for this expansion to the Magnus Archives TTRPG from Monte Cook!

Always worth reminding - if you enjoy an author's stuff, popping a quick positive review wherever reviews are done is always a fantastic way to support them!

WE'RE LIVE! Beside the Lesser Travelled Road is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Get yourself 20 roleplay-encouraging campsites to drop int your fantasy TTRPGs PLUS 20 more from the all-star team of indie freelancers we've got providing the stretch goals!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hiv...

Excited to be in such great company to write some gentle flavoursome encounters!

@sashasienna.bsky.social is preparing a game of Old-School Essentials and writing up a cheat sheet of enemies with little descriptions. Their description of Duegar is "Dwarf Wario" and their description of Drow is "Elf Waluigi". I am furious about how correct this is.

Ah, shit. A few days into this "nasty cold" and my sense of smell just vanished. Tests are still coming up negative, but... Well.

Seeing in the new year watching The Raid 2. God, I do enjoy a movie where two men are in love but can only express it through punching.

No live organism can continue for long to exist deadly under conditions of absolute Christmas; even church and sleigh bells are supposed, by some, to ring. Tiny Tim, NOT dead, stood against the holly, holding turkey within; he had stood so for eight years and might stand for eighty more.

Yeees! Luthan from Andor as a expert talking about ancient Rodian ceramics and shit. Some episodes end abruptly cause it's some ancient Jedi artifact and the sellers get hauled off by imperials
