I'm not crying. I never cry.

what a beautiful way to start out Hispanic Heritage Month! thank you so much for the highlight, Chris 🩵

Mi Gente! Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Let's show some support for our fellow Hispanic, Latine ttrpg folx by highlighting Hispanic/Latine game designers and Hispanic/Latine lead APS! ✨Name/Tag of the show or creator ✨Drop a link to their content! ✨Tell us why you love them!

Reminder, again, community organizing, activism & fighting fascism DO NOT MEAN YOU CAN'T ENJOY LIFE. In fact it works better when you DO enjoy life. So yes, smell the fall air Play a game Enjoy a meal with loved ones Stop trying to destroy the aliveness of others & trying to call it activism.

Had a great day running Nancy Druid from @9thlevelgames.bsky.social and doing character creation with young adults at @calmercon.bsky.social 💙

LET'S GOOOO!🤩 We just hit our fundraising goal! Thank you SO much to everyone who purchased the bundle - it's not too late to join in and chip in your support to the event! itch.io/b/3171/game-... Just 12 hrs remain to get this awesome bundle of games for just $10! 💙💚 #gamedev

Just ran my first D&D game after running a Daggerheart mini-campaign and, I have to say, it’s really tough to go back. Combat in D&D just feels SO slow and clunky comparatively 😬 Anyone else experience that?

Join us Wed, Sept 3rd for the MARIPOSA SHOWCASE 🦋 at @essexartcenter.bsky.social in Lawrence, MA. There will be music, poetry, refreshments, an open mic, plus an opportunity to win prizes! Proceeds will go towards mutual aid for families impacted by ICE detention + deportation. See y’all there! 🌈💘

Finally embarking on my first solo journaling experience! Starting with You Are a Muffin from @exeunt.press with the help of my GORGEOUS notebook from @labillustration.bsky.social. Everyone, meet Herbie the savory danish ☕️

Congrats to @falconwizard.bsky.social and everyone at @thequeerxp.bsky.social for this win!

Things are incredibly difficult right now, between multiple ongoing genocides, the rapid rise of internet censorship, and the expansion of fascism in all forms. But liberation requires discipline, effort, and collective action. We will not stop fighting for better a world — in fiction or reality. 🏳️‍⚧️

So true. Any chance to co-create with our players is a win in my book 💙✨

Better late than never: our August calendar is live! We are taking it easy this month as we wrap up summer, but we'd love to see you at the table 💙 #worlds4all

In case you hadn't heard: The Miccosukee Tribe are the ones who got construction of Alligator Alcatraz temporarily blocked in court. We take the wins where we can. Don't let the news cycle only show you what's bad. Also a good time to read up on Indigenous Sovereignty and Land Back.

As the TTRPG media sphere contracts, we're expanding -- Rascal is hiring a news writer! We're running a short 2 week pledge drive, offering a 6 month, 25% discount, celebrating our Diana Jones Award... nomination... in order to support this new hire.

Vibrant 🎨 magical ✨ and transformative 🦋

Despite the overwhelmingly supportive response to my anger at Obojima, it seems some folks still really don't understand. I'm going to say this as plainly as possible: You can enjoy Japanese culture, but you cannot make it your own. Japan gives freely of so much of its culture, but it's a loan. 🧵

Other hard lessons to learn: + Not all stories belong to you. + Don't just hire consultants. Hire talent from the cultures you're making games out of. + Put more BIPOC folks in leadership positions. + Support products from beyond America.

TTGDA statement about sensitivity around art depictions in games.

Very concerned for all my mutuals displaying their location on Instagram’s new map feature. I turned it off IMMEDIATELY, but what if you don’t see that screen to opt out? Here’s where that (extremely hidden!!!) setting is buried, please double check and protect yourself!

the whole fucking point of being in a creative space is that you get to make friends and play games. rudeness to your peers isnt shrewd business — its a counterproductive affect borrowed from higher stakes industries without regard for what it means or does or how it makes ppl feel

These past two days at #GenCon were a whirlwind, but I had such a blast running tables for @magpiegames.bsky.social and had really wonderful players. Now time for SLEEP!

Two hours in: badge and tickets acquired, GM stuff stowed, and then immediately grabbed this adorable new game from @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social and @9thlevelgames.bsky.social 🎉 #GenCon is a bit overwhelmingly huge lol but time to go wander the expo hall 🤩

GM prep at the airport en route to #GenCon - see you soon 🤩

I can’t speak on behalf of DesiQuest but I can speak on behalf of myself because I’m still mad about it: Bringing up the name of my production multiple times in a video meant to mislead people about a legal situation involving one of our cast members but not reaching out to anyone from our team/

Hey! This ACLU petition to stop payment processors like Visa and Mastercard from censoring content across the internet is getting SO close to the signature goal!!! action.aclu.org/petition/mas... If you live in the USA, please take a moment to sign!

So excited to attend my first ever #GenCon this weekend and to GM for @magpiegames.bsky.social ✨ All of my games are currently sold out, but I’ll be hanging around on Thursday and Sunday and would love to connect! Let me know if you’re attending 💜

I just backed Midnight Mystics: An Anthology of Fantasy Comics By Black Women on @kickstarter.com! Want to see this at Side Quest? Me too!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/844...

Here's a thread of some neat things I'll be running at #GenCon!

Canadians! My new sitcom roleplaying game, Going For Broke, is small enough that I can ship it to you as oversized lettermail! That means it only costs a couple bucks to send you this fast-paced, beginner-friendly game for 4-8 players. Check it out! buriedwithoutceremony.com/gfb

The censorship of adult/nsfw art will disproportionately affect queer and trans creators of color, and is a fascist trend that must be stopped. We stand in solidarity with creators who are experiencing censorship, takedowns, and shadowbanning on @itch.io and @steampowered.com.

🤩🤩🤩

Feeling the love from the Green Ronin community as we navigate the Diamond bankruptcy. At the time of this posting, we are at 82% percent of our goal. If you aren't in a position to support the legal fund, sharing this with your network is a huge help: gofund.me/970ea49a

The ending of this episode is just… wild 😱😤😭

During GenCon, I'll be part of a panel of awesome folks (including @chrishopper.bsky.social and @thelibgamer.bsky.social) talking about how to design games for accessibility! You can find my whole GenCon schedule plus easy-to-use sign up links here: loom.ly/_X9-JmY

Share the last 4 games you played and expose your gaming habits (TTRPG version): Pasión de los pasiones Wickedness Daggerheart Dread (but with a non-horror heist story cuz I’m a wimp lol)

A smaller-than-expected table last night gave us the perfect opportunity to play Wickedness by @nightlingbug.bsky.social instead! Every time I play, I am struck by just how beautiful a game it is 💙

If you’re an artist of color, you need to keep making art. Especially if you’re also trans. Our world needs your voice. In the face of increasingly hostile and murderous systems, this is what we can do. This is what we have to do.

Hey Baddies! We've got our Baddie Pride Panel rescheduled and we are SO BACK. See you THIS Saturday at 8:30PM EST over at twitch.tv/BaddieBards for a great convo w/ some great folx! Got questions for our panelists? Drop em here or during live chat! 💜

This page was so useful during our #Daggerheart Session Zero the other day! And very clear to see where many more of @johnharper.bsky.social’s helpful influences made it into the mechanics 💙

Session Zero this week for our #Daggerheart mini-campaign was so much fun. The “Character Creation” reference page from the additional materials was clear and concise. Here’s our line-up of characters ✨

it’s #PortfolioDay and I am seeking work doing cover art, illustration, character/costume design, art direction, and layout! 💼: naladraws.com My private commissions are also open; send all inquiries to [email protected] #art #ttrpg #layout

Great list here! We love so many indie TTRPGs 😍

Have been and will continue to be a big fan of @9thlevelgames.bsky.social!

Good Morning. Reminder, you are living being and are more than what you can produce or provide. Check your Internalized Capitalism and bring rest and levity back to your life. And Stop trying to monetize every hobby. 👀

Our July in-person event calendar is live 💙 Join us for some summer #ttrpg fun ☀️ Daggerheart is already sold out, but all other tickets are available at linktr.ee/worlds4all

We just got our copy - it’s so good!

Still looking for two more players to start this Thursday evening!
