Sometimes you spend time with someone from college and it hits you that you really did only stay in contact with the people who are actually genuine and care deeply about their craft. That's the only people I want to be around.

Finland recognizes roleplaying as living heritage and culture worth preserving www.rascal.news/finland-reco...

I feel like I got a real "just moved to LA" experience on my short vacation as I got to see a stand-up show in a very kind woman's back yard in Long Beach. I really just need take advantage of working remotely and travel more honestly.

My only advice that I can 100% guarantee to better your life is to find people or someone you can be honest to without fear. That's a tall order for someone with ADHD but I have a short list of wonderful people that I know will tell me what I need to hear sometimes and I them

This is where I guess in future I will say “if this stadium full of people watching D&D like a spectator sport is new and surprising to you, you’ll want to preorder my book next year from @mitpress.bsky.social to learn about the decades of creativity across many countries that got us to this moment.

The ocean is healing

Let's play games

Yeah- unfortunately that's all devolving and it really is scary. And there's literally no way to plumb the depths of the internet entirely; Like that xkcd comic- "oh, you're one of today's 10,000!" 😆

Sleepy thoughts time: Sometimes I think too many people believe the internet means all information is accessible. "Well they should have called x person" but what if their corner of the internet suppressed that information and they didn't have the right keywords

This is very millennial of me

Hi. It me at the Art Museum. Just marveling at Monet paintings

Oh boy

Categories include: - Best art of a dog - Game that best helps me understand what a lyric game is - Designer who takes theory the least seriously (positive) - Itch page that makes me green with jealous rage because of how good it looks

Took myself out for a fancy late lunch. I loooooove dim sum

@bastionland.bsky.social Hello! Is there a way I could contact you about Mythic Bastionland and get some advice for an Actual Play? I'm trying something new (writing a dramaturgical essay for the system before we go too far into preproduction) You can email me too, links in profile and all that

Finally got to see a UCB show last night and... Improv really isn't a place to talk about traumatic stuff y'all. The comedians were great sports and I got to see an old college friend on stage again! Going again on Monday

I found this at the Starlight Bookstore in LA. I read the introduction and it's already changing my brain chemistry.

I did a tourist thing

Indie publisher spotlight for July, @gilarpgs.bsky.social

Observation: reading about game studies feels like reading about math, reading about storytelling and writing feels like reading autobiographies, and reading about theatre theory sounds like someone airing their grievances. (Nuance and such)

Daniel Mackay has some interesting things to say about how one could be a critic of the play of tabletop roleplay games. I may need to make an addendum to one of my patreon essays based on this new insight!

Did you go all the way to LA just to sit in weird cafes and shops and read media studies? No, but I will be doing a lot of that.

Landed in LA! It smells like farts!

Off to LA!

Suddenly feeling like watching Weekend at Bernie's

I used to jump into the awards show discussions but I'll be honest, lately I have so much more to think about I will let those with more understanding lead it. I'm no expert and my addition to the conversation won't add much I choose to just be very happy for those whose hard work is recognized.

It really is a huge weight lifted just getting that first session down. The assurance that the idea is working and the cast you have are more than you could ever hope for. The excitement that even when you had to change plans it worked so well. The collaboration of new perspectives!

First session recording of Bookworms blew me away. Y'all I'm so excited to share this with you!! (More info soooon)

I've been (admittedly not as actively as I should) looking for another person to add to the pre-production chat at GenCon as two people had to back out. I also have learned the lesson that you cannot change descriptions once the schedule goes live... I hope to see you there!

I've challenged myself to approach ideas I may not always agree with with curiosity. I hope that the work I do inspires that in you as well. Anyway, sports and AP is on my long list of essay ideas lmao

Damn Sony, are you ok? Maybe you should take some time off. Let someone else take over. Like, you're a messy bitch right now.

GenCon goers - I shall be on stage if you want to hear me yap Fri @ 12p — @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social leads us in a talk about pre-production (www.gencon.com/events/316054) Sat @ 6p — @storiestoldagain.bsky.social is doing a live show! (www.gencon.com/events/306666)

literally having so much fun chatting pre-production dramaturgy with @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social for this mythic bastionland game. work with a dramaturg!!! it's so good!!!

While there is a lot to celebrate this weekend, I still need help with getting down a deposit for an apartment. While paychecks are slowly trickling in, some assistance can get me there faster.

It is very cool to have written a review for an AP now nominated for an @ennie-awards.bsky.social! When I watched @panictable.bsky.social How's My Driving actual play, I knew it was going to drive the medium forward in big ways. So glad to see them get much deserved recognition!

KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL, How's My Driving? has been nominated for a 2026 ENNIE AWARD 😱🚐

👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀 !! Last Train to Bremen has been nominated for Best Streaming Content. Color us over at the One Shot Studio very happy 😁

Note the inclusion of Solo Games! Congrats to all!

📣 THE 2026 ENNIE AWARD NOMINATIONS ARE OFFICIALLY HERE! 📣 ennie-awards.com/2026-nominees/ New Category Spotlight -We are incredibly excited to debut the new category for Best Solo Game! Solo gaming has exploded with creativity, and we can’t wait to highlight the nominees!

I'm going on vacation next week. Y'all I needed thisss.

Me looking up from my deep dive into Arthurian lore and myths. What time is it?

Y'all have no idea how much good it's doing for me to read a book of someone's career full of essays and them offering what they would have done differently now with their experience. I wish more teachers in my undergrad did this. www.siupress.com/978080932680...

Who wants to play it? I'd love to help organize some APs to showcase the game. As a small indie creator, word of mouth is super important, and showing others how the game is played would be tremendously helpful for both the campaign but more importantly the accessibility of the game in the long run.

⭐️ TTRPG CASTING CALL ⭐️ It’s Disability Pride Month! Are you disabled (neurological, physical, intellectual, emotional, etc)? Do you love TTRPGs? Come help me & my crew of fantastic GMs raise money for @dotsrpg.org this month! Signups will be open til tables are filled 😍 forms.gle/jPDgc2edJRsg...

I need everyone to lock in right now. Neil Cicierega made a Guide to Horror.

Another reminder that I share my notes as I learn media studies and apply what I learn to actual play. And I already found my next project! I want to see if I can use dramaturg program essays in a way to contextualize the system used for an actual play.

Look at these awesome dice!!! Wanna know how to use these?! 👀 Check out my video covering, Prima Materia by Man Alone! youtu.be/6UZmbj1zRpI?...
