Employer spends a year forcing people (including me) back into the office against our will. Employer is now moving the office at the end of next year. I have *got* to get out of here.

"play d&d in a castle!" - my dude, my fellow, I play d&d in my sister's shed with easy access to a kettle. Unless your castle already has my extensive tea making needs met, it is a downgrade. If being old and cold made it better, I'd play in my bathroom.

Timeline cleanser 🐈

Finally got around to buying and playing this game, and if you like Vampire Survivors and/or abject nonsense, this is the game for you.

(I still need backers for my light novel about a guy surviving a badly-run RPG campaign, so if you like my work (or posts) I'd appreciate it if you spread the word! Tell your friends, your parents, your Discords, your subreddits, buy a haunted pizza joint and then tell the ghosts about it)

Autistic people oppose a cure to autism and I have a hard time reconciling why that isn't the end to the conversation about it.

This looks delightful! And the cover is fantastic.

Guess who's in a Seven Part Pact game starting next week! I'm a stoic sort, so although you can't tell from my external affect know that I'm going feral on the inside.

Magical Regulators is a Pigsmoke-inspired game about wizards who have to deal with magical civic maintenance. It's very funny (which is important for Pigsmoke-inheritors) and uses the Brindlewood system The Right Way to handle open-ended situations. dengarm.itch.io/magical-regu...

Whenever I make a roux I think of Murders in the Rue Morgue. I've never read it so the thought never goes any further, but it's always there.

Third-party Lancer campaigns include some fucking maps challenge level: impossible.

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

Fuck me running, it works.

This generic acetaminophen had an Amtrak ACS-64, four Amfleet 1 cars, a Conrail EMD GP15-1, and some Conrail rolling stock in it. The problem is more serious than I thought.

Looks like Old School Stylish finally went gold on DrivethruRPG. To celebrate, I’m putting it and Nielsenauts on sale for $5! Links below “:

We love a healthful pig on this account.

Getting in trouble because I've got an overdue ticket logged by someone where the problem is that THEY CAN'T FUCKING READ and I've been too stressed to think of a polite response.

No, my game is not "in conversation" with other RPGs, it is still processing trauma from being told it should have "just been a board game" from randoms on the internet.

The modern equivalent of a heartbreaker is some game that no one has ever heard about that has amazing design principles that are innovative or elegant or just really well done, but that are languishing on itch because no one has ever thought to read it.

No, my game is not 'in conversation' with other RPGs, it is having a shouted argument with them in an IKEA car park at 3 am.

There are two weeks to go in the fundraising campaign for the Natural History Society of Maryland's new shark science and conservation exhibit, and we have to raise about $1,400 more. Please consider chipping in to help. Thank you! www.southernfriedscience.com/help-support... #SciComm 🧪🦑🌎

Doin' a Lancer:

My love of games is tied up with my autism in a lot of ways. Recently I've been wondering if the way the word 'playful' gets my hackles up might be because it implies that I've stepped into a magic circle with different rules, but nobody's stopped to tell me what they are.

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

I'm bored so here's a worldbuilding thread. Give me a D&D species/class combo (or a profession that would exist in a D&D game) and I'll write a good and normal character idea. Will stop at 100 or when I get bored of it, whichever comes first

If you like Pokemon, or even if you don't, this nearly five-hour video about competitive Pokemon (and some other stuff) is a pro click.

Bored at work so I'm building a Lancer mech: Using the Minotaur frame as a melee-based interdiction killer. Is it as good as just a normal Blackbeard 3 or something? Probably not. Is it stupid-but-functional? Yes!

They all told me to delay my game launch... So i did this 😵 #gamedev #megabonk #indiegame

Mini-boss Construct Fortress. 30 HP, 2 Armour, 4 wounds. Destroyed before the end of round 2. They weren't kidding about Beacon PCs being powerful, good grief.

THREADCUTTERS: the Monarchs of Wands. I'm not sure if I ended up here from Shakespeare or later cartoons, but I've always like the idea of Titanian sticking Oberon in a tree for his dalliances and getting on with her ruling. In Threadcutters, you're there to kill them both for their crimes.

Some Good News, everybody! "Nonprofit environmental organization the Ocean Cleanup has announced that it's on track to eliminate the Great Pacific Garbage Patch by 2034"

Trying not to spam my KS too much but we're so close to an important milestone: 69 backers

Running a poll to try and get data on what devices and formats people read TTRPGs in, so designers can make more informed choices. I intend to share the data once I've gotten enough responses, please spread this so we can cover more ground! forms.gle/V7WtvMpAUkJa...

Do you have a ttrpg that in your opinion is so under celebrated that you have appointed yourself head of the PR committee for that game? Where on at least one occasion someone mistakenly assumed you must have worked on it but really you're just unwell about it? What's that game to you?
