New free post up! A simpler yet more open-ended way of handling conditions in Mausritter-like systems, or any system with a character sheet. I'm genuinely excited to experiment more with this one.

First play report of the year, and we're kicking things off with Slugblaster! #blog #ttrpg theplayreports.com/posts/slugbl...

My book, Game Development with Godot 4 and C#, is out now! You can order it here: www.amazon.com/Game-Develop... #godot #godotengine #gamedevelopment #gamedev

It is never too late to enjoy what you love.

Decolonising the Dungeon Crawl--- Like everything else re: decolonisation and TTRPGs discourse, this is a solved problem. There's only metric that matters: How many creators from the colonised world are participating in and able to make a living from their games? That's *it*. 1/

The state of affairs of my country is appalling as usual. Staying informed and doing what I can, but I'm also looking beyond the stars, rewatching Star Trek. A comfort watch of sorts and a reminder that maybe, at some point, we'll be better.

Inspired by everyone else, I also went and wrote a 2025 retrospective post, with a dash of "hopes and dreams for the year ahead": personable.blog/new-year-2026

Got my end of year review of games played in 2025! I played a bunch of new systems and ran 30+ one-shots last year. What are the numbers saying, and what am I gonna do differently this year? #blog #ttrpg theplayreports.com/posts/2025-r...

AMANDA, IT'S AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much. 😍

Y'all are killing me with this @goodmangames.bsky.social

Go read blogs and submit then!! I really enjoyed this gameable piece from Warren D. This is the beginning of a thread on my nominations. icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/03/rand...

Big Gay Empire of reading last year.

Public Access is coming to kickstarter!!!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Listen, I get it. You're about to see "The Bloggies" all over your feed and it's going to get real old real quick. That's why you can mute it on BlueSky and bookmark the official page. I made it so you can still participate without losing your mind. Submissions are officially open til Jan 31st.

I wrote a brief year wrap up. Be well everyone. weirdwonder.net/year-over-ye... #osr

I couldn't help myself and added 1 more hex to the #hexmas map - Hexmas Train, a minigame of sorts to traverse this complete 60-hex map created by the blogging community. Final map inside! #blog #ttrpg #blogwagon theplayreports.com/posts/hexmas...

Maybe I can't read but who did the art for pg 142 @mythworks.bsky.social?

Scrambled to get a 2025 review post out. Instead of talking about me, I dug into my blog dataset and made a bunch of graphs. elmc.at/2025-in-blog...

While I'll never be able to capture everything that happened in #over/under, here is my deep dive into the game from both a design view and my own personal denizen one. #blog #ttrpg #playbypost theplayreports.com/posts/over-u...

A year in review: I wrote a blog post once a week and published three games. Looking forward to even more in 2026! www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

Merry Christmas, ya filthy animals! The #hexmas map update so far! There's still time to design a hex. Check out @prismaticwasteland.com's blog for the blogwagon info. #ttrpg #blog #blogwagon #community

I've been reading about the Public Land Survey System and other large-scale survey projects all week and it's left me fascinated with the logistics of managing a bunch of scoundrels traipsing around swamps and mountains to draw squares on the earth. tbr.bearblog.dev/stewardship-...

Not mine but I'm just so hyped that my Indonesian friend has made his first Tabletop RPG blogpost! "the default dungeon is colonial" open.substack.com/pub/beeboobu...

As a first year blogger, I've keep notes on jokes and trends. Its all culminated in this post! Thanks to @elmc.at's graph work and @linkskywalker.bsky.social's Flux Space, I got the motivation I needed to create the Blogosphere Flux. #blog #fluxspace #community theplayreports.com/posts/blogos...

New Dungeon (in blog form): Castle Claus, or The Keep on the North Pole A Rankin Bass Christmas-themed dungeon for the Merry Hexmas Blog Bandwagon. Possibly one of my more high effort blog posts to date #osr #ttrpg

The Larian Studios using AI for concept art is an awful precedent to set. Many CAs I know take time to research and study specific works which can then be attributed. Can you imagine this conversation being the norm? Interviewer: What inspired the idea for this? CA: This sick chatgpt prompt!

On the 17th day of Critique Navidad, my true love gave to me a game about cosy zookeepers and their quarry. It’s Cryptid Keeper! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/17/c...

We got Nick LS Whelan helping out today ❤️ on puzzle dungeon workshop. Dev edit feedback for the thief trap by JohnOutWest Video youtu.be/CmVrHdwYrOw?... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/5ZPU...

Finally added my hex, Hearth, to the Hexmas Map for the Blogwagon started by @prismaticwasteland.com! #blog #hexmas #community #ttrpg #hexcrawl theplayreports.com/posts/hexmas...

Parties often travel through the same hexes multiples times. Shouldn't we have something interesting happen when they do it say the 4th or 5th time? #blog #hexcrawls #gmtool theplayreports.com/posts/terrai...

This holiday season, give your favorite creators the perfect gift: attention. A 5-star rating, a product review on Exalted, or even a share on Reddit. www.explorersdesign.com/critmas-2025/

Announcement time! I've gone and decided to move on from my google hosted Blogger blog, and instead do my own thing with my own domain. Check it out over here: personable.blog/new-blog-sam...

Every time I think about the Dreamcast, I remember what it felt like when gaming still surprised me. Big swings. Weird ideas. Pure soul. It was lightning in a box. It gave us arcades in our living rooms and a glow we’re still chasing. The Dreamcast didn’t live long… but the memories did 💙💙

So many cool ideas ahhhhhh

Some systems are better for new GMs, and some aren't! I said what I said. #ttrpg #blog #pbta theplayreports.com/posts/pbta-b...

I backed Vengeance California's Kickstarter and have been reminded that I need to run a one-shot of it ASAP!

Had a blast playing a food snob and getting drunk with friends during one of these sessions. I'll let you guess which, hahaha.

I just published my first Mothership module: Twinkle Twinkle little star The module will have your crew investigating a solar research ship orbiting a dying star, can you figure out what happened, and will you complete their mission? Available now on itch! personable.itch.io/twinkle-twin...

Had my debut with the Carousing Collective! Come forth and carouse! #ttrpg #blog www.carouse.blog

I discussed some thoughts and feelings i have about @rrookstudio.bsky.social's excellent Sherwood. It's a game of pseudo-historical banditry that borrows a lot from Classic Traveller and takes some delightful and innovative departures. I don't discuss those here.

Thrifted this crazy dramatic frame for one of @amandalee.bsky.social's print from last year 😂 what do you think of it, Amanda?

Here’s my recap of PAX Unplugged 2025 weirdwonder.net/pax-unplugge...

Really enjoyed reading this and chuckled quite a bit, especially the Luke Gearing bit. Who even is that guy?

This project is so cool, and I can't wat for my setting, The Blogosphere, to use this as a map. 😆

I went to PAX Unplugged 2025, played in/ran a lot of OSR game sessions, and had a lot of fun chatting with other bloggers, designers, and other very cool people within our little hobby. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/pax-unplugge...

Finally got around to writing my play report for @evlynmoreau.bsky.social's Orbital Megastructure! It makes sci-fi rpg a dense, sprawling, and procedurally-based space. #blog #ttrpg #playtest #rpg theplayreports.com/posts/orbita...

Jokes on you, tidal wave of increasingly desperate advertisements trying to recoup a years worth of sales with the holiday season, I've almost literally never had less money to spend! Nothing you say will be convincing enough! We are both scorpion and frog and shall die as one!
