I'm no zombie lover, but I do love Ralph Fiennes and I've heard he's fantastic in 28 years later. Do I watch it?

I can't hold a tune if you give me a bucket. I spent a dedicated month trying to reliably produce In the Hall of the Mountain King without it becoming Battle Hymn of the Republic BUT I've finally got the main suite from 1942, which is great because it's such a delight

I'm on the slay the spire mailing list, and I found out from Bluesky before the email came in

I have played so many systems and so many styles of games. More than most of you. OSR, storygames, crunchy, rules light. There are pluses & minuses to all of them and a time & place for all of them. The only true constant is "I wish the loudest voices in each scene were nicer to me, specifically."

I had so much fun playing a mech pilot; I had never considered mech games before (I don't even play them in video game form)! The game is well-written and the visual style is *on point*. Definitely go put the Kickstarter on your watch list and give @alexrineh.art a follow too!

I know @twenty20sight.com @markdc.bsky.social and @mrdowden.com all looked like they were having a good time going after a briefcase in an interstellar Ikea, and I'll let them reply with their thoughts. Myself, as the moderator, just grabbed ahold of one thing. Juggler, the clown mech. 🤡 Amazing.

Less than $60 to our first stretch goal! If you like animorphs, or gritty Andor-type resistance stories, or animal sciences and roleplaying as different animals, or an all-druid campaign set in the modern world, or you want to say you're the one who got us to 5k, you'll love BEASTS

I had censored this at the time because I hadn't revealed that this was Cyberrats in Space. I was talking about "the next cyberrats game" and "my upcoming mech game" and didn't reveal for a hot minute that they were the same game.

Oh we're talking about the use of sound and silence in TTRPGs? Feels like a good time to share one of the missions from my upcoming mech game.

Before I die, I must teach you the expositional song of my people

It’s the first time a frog—or any amphibian—has been observed pollinating a plant, researchers reported in 2023. Learn more on #WorldWildlifeDay: https://scim.ag/4riUU1G

There is no shortage of things you can spend your limited time, money, and attention on, and the fact that Cyberrats has accured such a following continues to astound me.

The Boomwagon Pattern C44U The fuse systems for mechtech is notoriously volatile, where even non-combat machines are likely to blow out components at a momentw notice. Taking cues from the Trenchy operative of yesteryear, the Boomwagon is specced to improve its performance by blowing its own fuses.

Well, if I’m gonna be telling everyone Cyberrars In Space is a mech game and asking for mechsploitation fic for the contest, I should probably introduce y’all to the mechs! Hold up, I had some tech specs in here…. All mechs of course come up with fully modular internals and a bio-linked control rig!

I keep getting recommended youtube videos that are just a guy playing famous music on a piano and saying "oh that's good!" and "Do you see how the notes work together?" every video has thousands of views, comments and likes

My number one tip for ECCC exhibitors and guests is that if you're getting food after the con, do *not* go down the hill to downtown Instead, if you go *up* the hill to Capitol Hill, you will probably have a better time.

i'm sorry, as a publisher i can only comment on the support i received

I've gotten to the 2 point perspective lessons in my current textbook, and really enjoying them. They feel more technical than creative, but the end result still looks really good! I did see a three point perspective in a future lesson, and that scares me, a litle.

I love any game with * trains * units you can merge together into new mystery units * rad damage

Once again, thank you to @alexrineh.art for taking time this afternoon to show us your cool game! Make sure to give him a follow on here, and go sign up for Kickstarter notifications. And of course, if you missed the stream but want to see what happened: www.youtube.com/live/xumlUut...

Cyberrats in Space will be coming to Kickstarter when it's ready (late May/early June). You can sign up to be notified when it goes live here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

It was a blast to run through CYBERRATS IN SPACE with the Lore Link crew!

People with the initials NO.... what's it like filling out contracts?

Don't miss Cyberrats in space in a little under an hour!

I mean strictly speaking, having this law is better than not having it. But I don't tell people they can't kick my cat, I just remove them from my home if they try.

My dream is to launch with 250 followers. We're almost halfway there. www.kickstarter.com/projects/201...

Today, today, TODAY!

Tuesday is for Twitch! Today, @markdc.bsky.social and the Lore Link Players are running through a quick session of Cyberrats in Space, ran by the creator, @alexrineh.art! Join the team, starting at 4:00 PM Eastern, over on Twitch! twitch.tv/LoreLinkRPG

set myself a drawing challenge and now im like "wtf. this is challenging"

For the night crowd

I played 5 more steam demos (with a lot more on the list!) blog.alexrinehart.net/posts/a-hand...

Hanging out with my 3 year old nephew makes me feel like a text based video game. "tell about train" "tell about daddy" "tell about smoke detector"

Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow get a glimpse of CYBERRATS IN SPACE!

Welcome to March! Tomorrow on Twitch, we're going to kick off the month with @markdc.bsky.social and the Lore Link Players being joined by @alexrineh.art, who's going to talk about, and run the team through a bit of his game, Cyberrats in Space. You can check it out here:

Dang for a 1950s comic, Tintin on the moon is crazy scientifically accurate!

Did you know that every single background and sprite in our games is painstaking drawn and inked by hand? Every line matters, across literally thousands of illustrations. 😤

Check out this demo, it's a neat little puzzle game AND it's made by a pal of mine store.steampowered.com/app/4256210/...

This is probably my favorite character art for my Draw Steel project. The Brainy Rat! #drawsteel

They announced my stretch goal for Blades '68! Let's get to $390,000 so I can write about The Inaugural Crowfoot Wargaming Convention of '68 (which split of from the Charterhall Conference On Historical and Strategic Wargames that started two years before). www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

They called the 2016 election just after 9 pm. CNN had been preaching hope into a sea of red since six. My upstairs neighbor walked to his balcony and played taps on a trumpet.

The dumbest thing you can do is go above and beyond for your job lol you gotta do the bare minimum otherwise the minimum becomes above and beyond and then it kills you

In this new year, I'll be writing something I'm calling Unbundled. If you buy even a few TTRPG bundles, you end up with a lot of games, and even if you're a very dedicated player you're unlikely to get to all of them. I'll be going through each of my bundle games and writing a bit about them.
