Watching 'Normal', and 26 minutes in, my writer brain is looking forward to how all these set ups are going to pay off.

@officialpax.bsky.social What the heck are you doing? The PAX Intersection program provides space and the PTI program opens doors for people who need it. What are you thinking cutting back on this?

How am I doing? Just singing along with Soundgarden's 'Jesus Christ Pose' and doing the spoken part at the end in Tom Hardy's Bane's voice. Why?

"The scritches go *here*, hoooman!"

Finally got around to watching Shorsey Season 5, and good lord is it ever great TV. Every season has been a master class in structure, from front to back. Great character growth across the series, and just brutal zingers throughout.

Went to see Backrooms with my son. Solid horror, had me by the neck in places. Excellent pacing and acting. Going to Ikea immediately afterwards was not a good idea, but he wanted to look at desks sooo, into the maze we went.

Happy Pride my friends. My world is better, brighter, and more joyful for having you all in it. The art, stories, movies, music, games, and more that you make makes my world richer. So keep being you, in whatever form of awesome you are. I'll be over here cheering you on, as always.

If you’re a writer, write “I waited” without saying it: I knew he would come. Out the Inn's door, past the alley. Could be two hours, could be three. He would come. Tired, yet giddy from his winnings, or cursing his losses. I would be here, to close his account regardless.

We are here, come catch us talking about Matt's incredible new TTRPG game Duality, fully funded on Kickstarter and hitting stretch goals right up to the finish!

Duality's been a work in progress for over 4 years. With 30+ different versions of our rules & book layouts, it's been quite a journey! On 05/07, @ 6P ET, Join us as we talk to wrexverdi.bsky.social (one of our earliest playtesters!) about the process on Twitch! -MO🐈 🔗www.twitch.tv/mimicsnmisfits

I had entirely too much fun playing Dry Gulch with these folks, and if you are so able, go back the Kickstarter for Duality! They've already hit their first stretch goal for the Space setting, and the Cartoon setting is up next! www.kickstarter.com/projects/mim...

If I worked with a painter, as the grifter selling their masterfully created forgeries of great works, would they be my... ... ... Artner in crime?

Hiya' folks! Friendly reminder—we’re going live at 6:30 PM ET for a talkback session with @musicologist.bsky.social & @ssidky.bsky.social from @openthegatesgaming.bsky.social! Want to hear firsthand what it's like to play Duality? Come join us~. ٩(^ᗜ^ )و´-MW🦇 🔗 www.twitch.tv/mimicsnmisfits

I am lucky that I get to share a table with these amazing folks, playing Duality! Come check it out, and if you dig it go support it on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mim...

I was literally moments away from ending the Paragons Starter Kit campaign early when someone upped their pledge to get us to 99% of the goal. Against all odds, we're $98 from funding with 17 hours left. I'm gonna go cry, but internet do your thing: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

We're down to 7 days left on our Kickstarter for Duality, and as of writing we're 94% funded!!! Thank you all so much for the support! To celebrate, we thought we'd share a video Matt made which will guide you through world building in Duality. Please enjoy! -MO🐈 🔗www.youtube.com/watch?v=B_lM...

DC built a great gaming aid here. Clean, easy to use, and FREE (though you should throw a few $$ his way if you are so able). Obsidian makes campaign planning and tracking easier, and the principles that DC has built into this make it manageable for newbies and experienced folks alike. Go get it!

This month's completed art! Lemons were the vibe. (And a sunflower.) #art #watercolor #painting #BlueSkyArt

Once upon a time there was a Bard who angered a Hag, so she struck him in the chest with a cursed arrow. When he told his party how to heal him: He said he needed bark from a special tree. He sang... ... ... "There's a hole in my heart that can only be healed by Yewwwww..."

Latest one-of-a-kind leather creation is live on my shop. US residents only (sorry!) ko-fi.com/s/6df96d02cc (Dice from @dieharddice.bsky.social!)

Something we're deeply committed to: making sure our game is accessible to 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆. We showcased Duality in the Access Forward Gaming Lounge at PAX Unplugged—a disabled-led, accessibility-first space. It wasn’t just about showing our game, but engaging with others and actively listening. —MW 🦇

I don't understand why Goths sleep all day. ... ... I though they were mourning people.

Anorin Collective Technologies welcomes you! Starting another journey aboard the CSC Echo, the party is tasked to investigate a spacial rift. Good thing everyone's on the same team...right? Featuring: @urbanbohemian.com @intersectionscch.blacksky.app @fullrubberducky.bsky.social @damphyr.com

"Gen AI" is not politically neutral, even & especially when using it against political opponents. This isn't some "tying a hand behind your back" situation, this is literally harming yourself and everyone else by giving legitimacy and credence to a deeply dangerous technisocial paradigm. So stop it.

On the 7th, Matt joined Kay and David on the @chaoticwholeso.me Table Talk Show! Missed us live, and curious about Duality? Check out the VoD & learn about our thoughts on accessibility, game design, failing-forward, and more! 🔗 Now up here!: youtu.be/BrGNXyIU8HA... -MO🐈

I can't go back to the regular YouTube UI after this 😅 Obsidian Reader now makes the transcript interactive so you can scrub, highlight, auto-scroll. It feels so nice.

There's just 3 hours to go for YOU to snag your early bird special deals!! A huge thank you to everyone that had backed so far, last I checked we had hit 50% of our funding goal!!

I just backed Duality TTRPG on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mim... Matt has put a ton of care into this game, and I can't wait to have my hands on a copy. Go back it, and have fun playing with your friends!

Mimics, Misfits, and all other mischief-makers, it is our extreme honour to announce that Duality is live NOW, on Kickstarter! Join us to start your journey Shifting through the Worlds, and see how plucking at the Threads that make up the fabric of a World can send you on unlikely adventures! -MO🐈

Promo your stuff relentlessly, before, during, years after release. This is probably because I was a stand up and we necessarily lived in self-promotion mode, but if I don’t see you posting about your shit every day, I assume the weird American Calvinist kind virus got you. Or you’re Canadian.

Up front, this is not an attack on anyone who may or may not be moving right now. I just think this is adorable.

Great channel for art, and a thoughtful and informed view on AI. youtu.be/CC7dmomiVuo

I was lucky enough to get in on the playtest on this, and folks, you are in for a treat! You will want to get in on this.

We're live on Twtich and Youtube talking about religion in #TTRPGs. How do you build or incorporate your pantheon? How do you implement a religious system? How do you handle faith in a world where gods are real? We're breaking it down~ www.twitch.tv/chaoticwhole... www.youtube.com/@ChaoticWhol...

If you email me out of the blue, mentioning a charity event I last helped with 4 years ago, and ask me if I need help with business funding or lines of credit for upcoming events? That's going to be a hard no from me.
