a lot of complaints about TTRPGs apply to any arts scene—we just have relatively fewer institutions to learn from. it’s expected—& an obligation—to learn from mistakes, but a lot of pressure when they’re your primary source. take accountability & hold people accountable, but try to learn from both.

Can I convince you to follow me? Maybe, juuuust maybe this will help? I’m an artist-author publishing my first novel this summer, and I can’t wait to share Willow and Carrick’s story. No generative AI used, just a human screaming from the rooftops and shrimping over her iPad 😅 #writersonbluesky

Someday I'm going to find a way to create something as iconic as Neil Cicierega.

May Black History Month always be in your favor! Join us for some AP goodness and raising funds for the Lavendar Rights Project! Give what you can

This Valentine's, send your crew flowers. Or like some tacos at least

The outside makes my nose itchy

This event is incredibly well organized and full of incredible people!

The whole thread but especially this part.

That image will be burned into my brain

Give them another from me

Hey the game I'm producing for Apochromatic Unlimited is live!!! Come hang out and watch the last game of the day!

Don’t leave the Groan Master out in the cold! With your support, we can bring the magic of puns back to the world (for better or worse). Discover a new world of wit and wordplay when the Punderworld Kickstarter campaign goes live on February 10–pre-save NOW! www.kickstarter.com/projects/twi...

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Did you check the figma file?"

A nice place to do some writing

Y'all holy shit Seeing screen name branding on the credits was something I didn't know would affect me so much. I am leaving that theatre with more questions than answers and I LOVE IT

Seeing Iron Lung at Alamo Drafthouse is the only way because we all watched Meow before the previews.

Number go up. Hell yes. See what all the fuss is about. Watch our Daggerheart horror one-shot: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZN2k...

Finally finished season 2 of @theheartisadungeon.bsky.social and I am left awestruck and full of a deep desire for connection with those around me. It is a testament to what it means to be loved and changed. It is friendship in its purest form and I could only hope to experience love like this

Putting out the call officially for #ZineQuest 2026! Do you have a cool game? Do you want to talk about it? Know any cool games, even if you're not making one? Reach out and let's chat!

Unfortunately the AI video really tarnished a lot of my experience.... (I'm just catching up with the opening ceremony)

We will never have the communities of care and accountability we want until we tackle rampant pedestalling and celebrity culture. Everyone fucks up. But the ability to discern mistake vs malice and to act accordingly requires us to have spectrums. Your fav is still a person. Treat them as such.

Sword & Tea is back! Derek @dsword.bsky.social sits down to chat with Banana Chan @bananachangames.bsky.social about their games at 10 AM Pacific/1 PM Eastern. Join us at Twitch.tv/Sword_and_Key

This written AP is so cool!!!

So much is happening online today, but I must be human now. Discourse responsibility

This event is incredibly well organized and full of incredible people!

TTRPG inspiration is everywhere.

When you are deep in chisme and this song is playing and you can't help but bob

Having some much needed social time with neighbors

On this fine weekend, do you mind starting a new Actual Play? How about giving GODKILLER: Qismat a try? We've been told it's nice! full series! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

And you should do it often and at every stage of your journey

Can anyone point to a nostalgia farming IP turned TTRPG that wasn't basically just trying to replicate 5e?

I have a post in the back of my mind, but I think I'm going to let it simmer for a bit. But I have a lot of feelings about how a niche industry uplifts some and not others. Some are obvious, but some feels less so. I feel like I'm right in the middle. I'm pretty comfortable here for now.

I'll jump in to say the same. Yes, we know that a lot of those buildings are left to rot and there are lots of issues internally in the games. But something about this ancient event still going reminds me that humans can still work together.

Happy Friday all you beautiful people! Today we have three amazing games to celebrate Black History Month and raise funds for the Lavender Rights Project. Keep an eye out for when we go live starting at noon EST today and ending at midnight. That's 12 hours of black storytelling!

I am in the, do what you can, mental state. Not fully burnt, just need to take things in small easy steps.

It’s very nice to knit something simple now.

Shakespeare is not for the learned, or the wealthy, or the imbued by god with divine right. The words of the Bard are for the heart, for the soul, for the People.

I just can't wait for @hellbentrpg.bsky.social to go out. I'm deep in the weeds of post production and I'm just so happy to work on something like this

This Friday at 4 PM EST The Circle are legends of the Fairelands. However, they are tired, they are scarred. Now a missing member has found “relief”: a ritual of eternal bliss that heals trauma by erasing memory, will, and self. The Circle is invited to witness this discovery for themselves.

I co-sign this — literally almost all of the extant Actual Plays of DIE are of the opening scenario or its variants, & any group that takes the time to play through the initial scenario AND THEN select a scenario for recording will functionally have no competition at the moment.

I can meet again if the Hurley Burley’s lost but if it’s won they’re going to nationals and I said I’d go cheer them on

Seeing yet another 'using whistles is disablist' piece circulating: for the 40 millionth time, using disabled people as cover like this is disgusting and calculated to prey on people who are anxious about doing the wrong thing. Doesn't escape notice that white people are the worst offenders.

The book I'm finishing right now says a lot about pedestals. Especially in academics. Katabasis by R.F. Kuang

I had friends who were resident union workers there. I know people who have performed there numerous times. Two years of lost work is devastating for many in the industry.

Why would you use slop when there are free assets like this WORK OF ART www.pexels.com/video/glitte...

Great write up on @thefandomentals.bsky.social about the new series I'm gming for @ttoptalespinners.bsky.social with @eotiaxart.bsky.social @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social @totcocoa.bsky.social & @holloworange.bsky.social. www.thefandomentals.com/ever-gracefu...

You're telling me a guy who has a history of not paying his bills and contractors is.... Not paying his bills and contractors? I'm astonished
