Pagliacci you say? Fascinating, I myself have never heard of this--he's a Clown you say? And you hear he's funny? I would love to hear more of your thoughts, or any specific feedback about him if you have it. Which jokes landed. Just curious. Excited to learn more about this guy for the first time.

Jess is an incredible GM and I think this is a very cool opportunity

Jess is literally one of the best gms I've ever played with, cant recommend her enough

I played with jess dming one time and it was really fun. highly recommend

I'm thrilled to see EMBODIED EXEGESIS included in this amazing list of transfem literature! This is some incredible company to be in!!!

We've never played Apocalypse World on @friends-table.bsky.social, and yet I think it's pretty fair to say that the show (and a big part of my career) relies on its existence. Couldn't be more excited for this new edition. And I already have multiple ideas around how we might play it...

Amazing friend, and possibly the best GM I've ever had 🔥 Definitely would not pass up the opportunity to play in one of her games if I were you

Jess is a PHENOMENAL warden and has been living the Dream in #over/under as one of the most effective bosses for almost a month. This is an insanely good deal if you want to play Mothership run by a real pro.

hey nerds, come play with one of the best GMs out there

jess is an incredible game runner, teacher, and presence at the table--don't miss this opportunity to play!

Yeah, I've got my own crowdfunding, but I can't not mention Apocalypse World 3e. Apocalypse World is one of the most influential games to arise out of the innovative indie side of gaming. It's literally created a whole subsector of the industry: Powered by the Apocalypse. A 3e is huge news.

How influential is Apocalypse World? This influential. (And I wrote this chart four years ago.) www.designers-and-dragons.com/2021/11/02/t...

On today's stream, it's our two-year anniversary special! The whole gang, including contributors, will be live to discuss our accomplishments, failures, hopes, dreams, and fears. We'll also be making some big announcements about the near future. We go live at 4 PM ET www.twitch.tv/aftermathdot...

I hate to be annoying but I still need some help

hi this game is really fun. hi this episode is really fun. hi all three of us do really cool weird story stuff in our playthroughs. hi. Hello

been thinking a lot abt cool ttrpg coverage i can do & facilitate & i think i'm just gonna.... try one.......? please write ~250-500 words about A SPECIFIC DEATH MECHANIC IN A TTRPG for me to compile into a little webzine! you have until november 13th! that's in a month!

a week to go!

I did some digging and found actual imprint codes Sun Pharma uses on generic Vyvanse they're recalling! Why this isn't included in the recall notices, idk!! it's in section 3 here, make sure you double check w your pharmacy if yours are from the relevant lots!!! dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/dru...

nori was a beautiful soul and such a delight to play games with. Spacers Local 808 would not and will not be the same without her. this is such a beautiful tribute to her life.

Poet, musician, and software engineer nori li, here as @nori.gay, has died. She was phenomenally talented and dearly loved 💜 🏳️‍⚧️ 💜

i wish Instill Energy still had this oracle text 😭

#over/under has been a really fun experiment to dive into. I think that the whole thing is a testament to how cool something can be if you just throw a buncha creative people into a box and shake it! RIP Nostra, a very satisfying arc or me, thank you @jessfrom.online for ending it in style!

babygirls, you gotta listen to this arc i am telling you it is some of the coolest actual play around. and always, satah's editing it superb & really ties the whole thing together, and makes these radio shows feel so real to listen to. seriously CHECK IT OUT!!!

station and taking it in directions that i truly could not possibly have guessed the story would go—both heartbreaking & hilarious at the same time. if you like post-apocalyptic mutant science fiction, the Matrix, hot snarky radio DJs, cheerful rat bastards, and sopping wet

satah's choice to do the journal entries as recordings of a radio talk show was brilliant, and their sardonic post-apocalyptic rebel with a heart of gold is an unbelievable delight to listen to from there, HB & eclipse do an amazing job with picking up the legacy of that

uniquely when it comes to AP, this game really showcases all 3's *writing* chops Unplugged Survivor is a sequential ~solo TTRPG where you write journal entries, then pass them to another player who plays a character who found them the writing & vocal performance on said entries are incredible

if you haven't heard the Unplugged Survivor arc of @foliopod.bsky.social, i cant tell you how much you're missing out @posatahchips.gaygothvibes.online, HB, & @ddemoneclipse.bsky.social do some unreal writing & performance in a unique serial format—some of my fav Actual Play 🎲 i've EVER listened to

jess, as always, is better at talking persuasively about my work than i am, so i'm just going to link this nice thread

i love these episodes but found myself unsatisfied with the format, so i haven't returned to a sequential journaling game yet. once i crack how to make it work for the show-- & i have some ideas-- i will. there's a unique intimacy to writing something & just giving it to someone else to continue!!

a year ago today, the second folio series started!! it was unnerving doing something other than the basic pitch of the show ("multiple playthroughs of the same solo game at once") so quickly, but exploring different types of self-paced games Was part of my initial vision. & hb & eclipse killed it

the real tragedy of tiktok is that it occasionally gives way to cool electronic music subgenres *and they’re all fuckign singles and never albums*

you know when an apocalypse kind of starts to happen maybe & your first thought is "the speech i gave like an hour ago is going to play really weirdly for my reputation if the tension building montage is cut over it in a particular way" #over/under

there is truly nothing that makes writing easier than knowing you have a good editor behind you

stargate episode where they shut down the border to the united states because of a growing pandemic…because it hits 8000 cases

"i would like to formally suggest a referendum" #over/under

I'm working on a group project as part of mothership month, its shaping up to be pretty cool. Today is also a public holiday in the upside down, so ask me anything about this project and I'll answer it www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

In the Spinal Crux District, every Block has its secrets. Most bad, but some good—if you know where to look. 18 veteran Mothership writers, artists, and more bring their surgical precision to Flatline on the Blocks, a 52pg zine detailing 20 Blocks on Prospero's Dream.

Funny number reached!

Flatline on the Blocks is live NOW: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

my sober alcoholic ass has admittedly started to hit some limits with how many bars there are in play in over/under, particularly as people start to lean into it more, but we stay silly (& cloistered away in the church (which makes it roleplay))

Many of the institutions that will praise him over the coming days will be the same ones that persecuted him in the '80s and '90s for refusing to shut up about Palestinian rights. That's OK. It shows that he was right about many things, and they were wrong. Whether they openly admit it or not.

Reb Arthur had a truly transformative impact on Jewish life, thought, and politics, in North America and beyond. So many ideas that he introduced are now simply taken for granted. I feel so blessed to have counted him as a teacher and a mentor, even for a short time.
