I can't believe it's already been four years with my best friend!

Me theorizing ways to help APs get some more traction: Have you tried slutty little glasses? I hear that's very in.

On my way to watch Austin's local cryptid Elijah Wood on Last Meals.

Please tell me all your favorite Black femme actual play performers! 🖤 A link to their socials/games is even better :) I'll be casting soon for a gritty Western limited series with three Black outlaw sisters at the core and wanna keep an eye out for all those awesome performers I may miss!

A new partnership with @worldofdarkness.bsky.social brings together vampires and municipal government in the new season of @dimension20.dropout.tv . www.thefandomentals.com/dimension-tw...

@amaanhk.bsky.social has this great YT interview with @jasoncordova.bsky.social about analog horror game Public Access (which I am looking forward to): youtu.be/S67USt2sTpo #youtube #horror #analog #ttrpg #indie

How's My Driving, both the show and the hack by @dngnclub.itch.io showed me a whole new way to play condensed stories through modified Daggerheart and I'm still itching to play it and others like it. You can read more in the review and interview with Cameron!

Solid ttrpg insight. A good system matters a lot, and this is why I have very little respect for people at the extreme end of the "just homebrew [popular system] and you'll be able to run [game theme that system wasn't built to run] just fine" spectrum.

It's been a minute and I am sure there are new people out there. Here is my fun list of APs that are active in the space. If you want to find someone in the making fun content, follow the list. If you want to be added, just let me know! Only rule is you have to be actively making content.

look at this baby beaver and feel better briefly (@ wildheartrescue on TT)

It's hell week at work, so I'll be scarce.

Zooms enshittification is making my job so much harder than it needs to be.

Ned nailed it.

I went to the Ren Faire today to get a years worth of sun exposure and whimsy. Going back tomorrow. 😁

Project Hail Mary was phenomenal

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH

I saw a video the other day or a clown street performance. The performer danced to the song "Banana Phone" for 10 minutes. Taped to the window next to them, where they gesture towards as they bowed was the words "is it a problem or just annoying?" I can't find the video anywhere

number go up 👁️👄👁️ more victims for plastic bag man yesyes join fun

Describing your show as "compelling and engaging" is the equivalent of your partner telling you the biggest gossip but didn't ask any follow-up questions

I'm seeking excited playtesters for my new RPG, Distant Nostos, a tragic homeric-inspired ttrpg of the homecoming and the gods hating you for warcrimes The art is from @klurarts.bsky.social and its a follow up to our smash hit INEVITABLE

HMMM

Look at this kick ass teaser!

good news and bad news.. The bad news is, it's the 17th of march which initially the deadline for our eviction and we arent to half our goal. The good(ish) news is that going into litigation, we have more time at the apartment but it can be any day we can be asked to leave. gofund.me/08a5dd23c

We know you are just pretending to work, maybe a little review to read and look serious at work?

Do you prefer LUXURY? Do you require EXCELLENCE? Are you a lil’ FREAKY-DEAKY? This is your opportunity to exercise those truths in style. Think of the value. Think of the possibilities.

Good Morning Heroes! I'm REALLY excited to tell you that I am officially the new host of One Shot. I cannot believe that James is entrusting something so precious to me - a show that has featured over 160 games and enormously talented casts.

Just like the "pivot to video" lie destroyed financial support for written journalism, so does the AI lie destroy employee-hospitable jobs in favor of overt shortstaffing.

A new Actual Play from @panictable.bsky.social uses a Daggerheart hack for a horrific tale inspired by classic slashers. @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social takes a look in their newest review: www.thefandomentals.com/in-hows-my-d...

HEY THIS IS PRETTY COOL 🤩 thank you so much @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social for the feature!! (and there's a not-so-secret little announcement in there too if you're curious what's coming next...)

New review is live! This one is my favorite one yet! "You can spend a lifetime designing your Saw-like machination for the players, but that’s not the show. What they do with what you throw at them is the show,” – Cameron Danger Strittmatter, Game Master. www.thefandomentals.com/in-hows-my-d...

Good time zones, don't forget to make something today, even a small something for yourself.

Me watching conversations about Actual Play theory happening in real time got me like

Some say your pets are a reflection of yourself

I think you should do it too

We got @felicia.day to talk about Greek Mythology and her first graphic novel The Lost Daughter of Sparta. A lot of of our favorite things are colliding all at once. www.thefandomentals.com/felicia-day-...

Want to upload your Actual Play to the Internet Archive, but have limited time and capacity? Here's my super-short checklist on how to get started in less than 30 minutes! 💚 you do not have to archive your whole show all at once 💚 allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/iagettingsta...

The internet is a great and horrible place. For professional reasons I can't explain more, but as I watch an academic seminar online that is immediately attacked by bad actors, I've been there, and my job deals with this all the time....

In a few hours I’ll be reading live from the Overture of my next book in a virtual talk at U Edinburgh’s History & Games Lab. This is the first time any part of the book has been read in public, or by anyone outside of my circles of trusted first readers (& MIT’s peer reviewers)

Fun fact, we brutally murdered a bug mid interview.

Some people never cried to Billy Elliot and it shows.

A reminder that I am still available for work both in concept art, TTRPG and Publishing. At the moment I am working on a couple of bookish projects and my book lover heart is so happy :)
