rewatched the SG-1 finale literally tonight, and i continue to think: quite possibly the SG-1 finale. it was obviously cheating because it knew it had the movie coming, but it used that to incredible effect.

it’s truly amazing how many planets in our galaxy have a vancouver

Y'all I'm FREAKING OUT. I wrote a game for two players about wanting to fuck each other so bad you save the world from fascism about it. Caro's art perfectly encapsulates the game and I have been itching so bad to be able to share it Please go pre save the campaign for this one PLEASE

wow, this 2017 photo of me is SUCH a blast from the past, what a different era

Palantir co-founder says it exists to kill communists.

Everybody has two kitchen appliances that will change their life. The problem is, they're different for everybody.

Medieval-style nails for a message board (but are actually magnetic pins), painted and done!

wow potionomics character designs & dialogue are *powerfully* millennial and *powerfully* online (and powerfully “online millennial disaster lesbian”) huh

there's been a long, long, intermittently successful effort to label each of those things as wrong and prevent them from happening again. then trump comes into office and just does all of them all at once.

like, Eisenhower did a version of trump's deportation evilness; Wilson did a version of the latin american interventions; FDR did concentration camps; political class collectively disenfranchised Black ppl after reconstruction, and on and on.

fwiw, I think the best way to think of this is not really as "trump is the worst ever" so much as "trump takes all the worst aspects of american history and speed runs them all at once"

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

there are no words appropriate for days like these. even my thoughts went blank hearing the news. the disgusting nakedness of it. then, all the cowards, complicit, and coconspirators across the US gov and the world... but at least, this: hands off Venezuela! long live the PSUV! la comuna o nada!

I know it’s probably deeply annoying to see Americans go “holy shit, the nakedness of this” after our history of indigenous genocide and global regime change, but what is especially scary about this is that the more recent bullshit alibis at least took some time to drum up and put into place.

Nice argument, too bad I've already depicted myself as the jubilant Bernie Sanders and you as the dour Eric Adams

2025 was, in all honesty, one of the worst years of my life. thank you to every person who has shown me kindness, patience, & generosity this year. everyone whose art has has inspired and elated me. everyone who has fought to make this a better world to live in. its the only way we make it through.

blackout is an (almost entirely) asynchronous journalling game for two players about redacting, interpreting, & straining against the confines of language. it's played by creating & communicating through blackout poetry. playtest version with community copies out now satah.itch.io/blackout

we have a philosophy of not talking much about the specifics as a business because i don't really think it's the reason to buy our stuff but I can tell you that it is not only doable to give a large portion of profits back to the creative teams but in fact rocks and feels good to do it

sick deal. i sent this message at 4pm this very day (so like an hour ago) after spending some time reading a bunch of FIST: Ultra Edition for my own beautiful & sacred reasons. it's good to play & to read which are pretty much two of the top things you do with TTRPGs in my experience

happy first birthday to this EP & swiftly upcoming first birthday to this lyric video i made for one of its songs, which is one of my favourite things i made this year

Hello I have played more TTRPG systems on-mic than any performer in the history of TTRPGs and Actual Play, and more TTRPG systems than most players period, AMA www.partyofonepodcast.com

aaron’s video on Going Rogue was so beautiful it helped me to see my *own* work in a new light at a time when, being transparent, i was really struggling to want to engage with it. this video is so so worth a watch (as is the rest of aaron’s work!!)

My video on Andor and Jess Levine's "Going Rogue" was really important to me, not just because I love Star Wars so much, but because Jess' personal insights and voice helped me find hope in the grim beginning of this shitty year

This is so fucking funny and so damn good. No one is doing it like @jessfrom.online

hehe funny number

"eat sticks and lie down", a solo game for the lactose intolerant - eat a single serving portion of mozzarella sticks (exact portion may vary at your discretion) - lie down - say "ohhhh i feel so bad how could this have happened" and "who could have foreseen this" at regular intervals

Jess' work is stellar. If you haven't picked any of it up, now's a good time.

jess is pretty much singlehandedly keeping me relevant in the ttrpg space so if u wanna support me u should actually be giving her money. ok maybe that’s a bad pitch. she’s also really fucking cool & makes good games

this is amazing lol

SO excited to share that the itchfunder has reached the $613 to do a print run of the trifold! so, NEW GOAL! if we hit $1000 before the end of Jan 1st, we'll do an upgraded layout before we print it, and existing purchasers will of course get access to the PDF with the upgraded layout for free!

This is such a strong $25 bundle. 20% off of three games that were already (imo) priced 20% lower than you'd expect to pay for work this good.

There is no faster/better way to find typos in a book than to send it to the printer. 💀

New to the #SoloRPG List: I Have The High Ground from @jumpgategames.bsky.social Pick your weapons, push the limits, and whenever justifiable: flourish your capes. Duet #TTRPG CLICKY: solorpglist.com/search.php?i...

just found out the repairs to my car after the hit-and-run-will be $500, so if anyone wants to give my new game & the bundle with all my previous games (I Have the High Ground, PLANET FIST, going rogue 2e) a look while these 20% sales are running, it would be much appreciated!

Bumping the panel again for the Saturday/YouTube crowd! I FINALLY got this to upload on YouTube after... many struggles with censorship. So if you want to hear some thoughts about Anti-Zionist Jewish practice and TTRPGs that YouTube apparently really doesn't want you to encounter, head on over!

I sense an influx of people who might be interested in TTRPGs! Check out our starter pack go.bsky.app/HGiNepJ

I feel like there is a not insignificant number of heritage and museums folks who might find this exciting....
