I just finished reading Magician First Class: by Kate Healey, and you guys it was so freaking good. Incredible world-building, really fun story, and characters you would be willing to die for. I could not put it down.

I really enjoyed this book! You will too, so win a free copy!

I just backed @kehealey.bsky.social's fantastic-looking new urban fantasy novel on Kickstarter, and you can, too: www.kickstarter.com/projects/kar...

With the topic of stealing crowns in the news, here's the opening chapter to my novel, which is about the theft of a crown: turnanother.page/book/the-red...

The finale of our Quest RPG campaign has just dropped. Search Roll For Friendship wherever you get your podcasts. Lots of big feelings over here. #TTRPG overcast.fm/+AAVEuAydx9s

All my ttrpg games are on sale, because I need to sell some games to fuel my gaming hobby. It’s a viscous cycle. These all are highly collaborative, two of them are world building games, and all three are 50% off! itch.io/s/161630/som...

@spoutlore.bsky.social is playing Bump in the Dark for the next of their Patreon-only Up All Night playtests! Here's a preview of their character creation episode: pca.st/episode/8b65...

Do you need an audiobook to listen to? A good one, that you'll enjoy? Because I have just the thing - I know it's good because I wrote and produced it and I have listened to it so many times by this point but I still like it: www.audible.co.uk/pd/The-Redst...

Our Quest TTRPG podcast is two episodes away from our campaign finale, and we are just too excited to wait, so we dropped the other two episodes today. Please check us out, and if you like it, share it with a friend. #ttrpg #actualplay open.spotify.com/show/5dzczAm...

I hear it’s #PaidRPGDay which I’ll take as an excuse to promote my new game twice today. Write poems, world-build, thrill the Dark Lore with your prose. jimmcintyre.itch.io/poems-for-th...

Do you like poetry? Do you like TTRPGs where you world-build? Do you like cozy poetry nights? Do you like to not be executed by a malevolent Dark Lord? Well I have just the game for you! jimmcintyre.itch.io/poems-for-th...

It's not too late to susport Spout Lore on Patreon so you can watch these rad and funny humans play Bump in the Dark!!

A few weeks ago @charliehall.bsky.social wrote an opinion piece on @polygon.com saying indie #TTRPG designers shouldn’t be wringing our hands when it comes to our games as #D&D fumbles the bag. So here it is. The Get Loud TTRPG Bundle. 36 games from 20 designers. itch.io/b/2864/the-g...

Hey y'all, we’re reaching out for help- our 16-year-old cat Frankie is in urgent need of surgery. To help cover the cost, we’re selling a bundle with HUGE discounts on all of our digital games. Donate if able, share if you can’t— every bit helps, and we’re so thankful for your support ❤️

My favorite podcast is going to play my game and wow that is pretty cool

Starting a new thread called: The oldest elected president in US history has lost his mind, and it's insane that the media isn't talking about it every day like it did with Joe Biden.

MBMBAM changing the name of the year might be controversial (and also for the best), but comedy rule of threes baby. Change it one more time!

Reposting for the (next) evening crowd

A poem about parenting, and art.

Want a world building game in the vein of a Quiet Year, but about political intrigue and the development of a nation, city, or country? Well here’s one I prepared earlier. Why not grab it today and help me pay rent. jimmcintyre.itch.io/pull-over-i-...

Maybe you are coming out of the new Paddington movie, and you are thinking wow what a movie, if only there was a Paddington TTRPG, well may I present: jimmcintyre.itch.io/a-very-rare-...

A sweet, sweet bundle of #slugblaster stuff cooked up by the Wilkie's discord community. Gear! Monsters! Adventures! New settings! All sorts of tasty stuff. All the money goes to help teen mental health. itch.io/b/2804/slugb...

Here is a simple one page/pamphlet game where you collaborate and tell a story about a bear who loves marmalade. It’s cozy, wholesome, and made my heart happy to think about, so hopefully will make yours happy as you play it. jimmcintyre.itch.io/a-very-rare-...

Just spent a fair bit of time working on a one page gm-less TTRPG where you and your friends tell a story about a very rare sort of bear who often finds himself in tight spots. Things have a habit of working out for this marmalade munching bear, and that’s the sort of story players will tell.

It's free for Christmas

I’ve at last succeeded in gathering a group for a Slugblaster campaign. 2 of the players have only ever played DND, so shall be fun to introduce them to the wider world of TTRPG.

If you want a bit of a Christmas special: Ben is playing in this wild Christmas adventure as the vibe rushes inexorably from heartwarming Christmas movie to action spectacular.

Our Roll for Friendship Christmas Special is here! Available wherever podcasts are found. We were joined by @kehealey.bsky.social and @glenatron.bsky.social to play @dimension20.bsky.social’s Never Stop Blowing Up, only Christmassy. So here is Never Stop Jingling! open.spotify.com/episode/0anK...

An rpg is when you read a 300 page pdf on your phone.

Very here for Slay the Spire 2. One of my most played of all times games. I think I own it in 4 places…

Okay but why have a pre-show if you are doing awards during it. Just admit you are way too long of a show, and be done with it. #TheGameAwards

You might notice the URL on that link - Turn Another Page is the platform I have been working to build for the last year. I want it to be an open marketplace for human-made books from small presses and indie authors. Selling my work through it is a way to help test-drive the platform.

You can now buy my first novel - a light-hearted, fast moving, utopian fantasy story. I think it's one of the best things I've ever done and I'm really excited to get it into the world. I'm afraid you're going to hear a lot about this over the next few weeks: turnanother.page/book/the-red...

We’ve got an excellent Roll for Friendship Christmas special coming soon. A few days ago @kehealey.bsky.social and @glenatron.bsky.social joined us for Never Stop Jingling, a Christmas Never Stop Blowing Up Adventure.

My low-key conspiracy theory is that Event Cinemas and Hoyts both advertise their memberships to make it seem like tickets will be cheap, but then their websites are purposefully so bad that you can never log in to use them, and just end up shelling out full price.

3 year old just called a Stegosaurus a Regularsaurus, and we must never correct this. I want him to grow to be a palaeontologist in a world with regularsauruses.

It’s almost time for our 2024 Christmas Special, so it seems fitting to re-share the 2022 special (we skipped 2023) with guest Abdul Aziz from @spoutlore.bsky.social It was maybe the most I’ve ever laughed. You do not need to hear other episodes to hear this one! open.spotify.com/episode/1v5D...

I have a book coming out! Very soon! You're going to hear a lot about it over the next few weeks because I think it's good and lots of you would enjoy it. Really happy to see people who have read early copies and enjoyed them.

Caught the final 30 minutes of Paddington 2 because my kids were watching it for like the third time this week, (They’ve been unwell) so once again have been sitting here crying my way through much of the end of this movie.

Hey TTRPG BlueSky, lend me your wisdom stats, if you were running D20’s Never Stop Blowing Up digitally, how would you handle turbo tokens etc? Is there a VTT that would work well for that? (Preferably cheap or free options are my favourite, but hit me with anything.)

This is one of my favourite TTRPGs, made by one of my favourite people, and right now there is a sale! (On the game, not the person!)

Slugblaster is one of the best games I’ve ever played. It establishes a vibe and then every single aspect works together to carry out that spectacular vibe. Great review.

Someone just said to me “hey the other day when we were talking you mentioned a fantasy book, what was it?” Genuinely no idea, and it could have been absolutely anything, because I read too many books, but now I’ll spend the next few days racking my brain trying to remember the exact book.

Finished my read-through of "Bump in the Dark", the Revised Edition! @lastpinepress.com , Thanks for putting together this wonderful game. It hits a lot of the highlight from "Monster of the Week", but its unique take makes it worthwhile as a go-to monster hunting game. #TTRPGs #ForgedintheDark

Paddington 2 is truly the best movie ever made, and I will brook no argument. Brook your arguments elsewhere naysayers!

I haven’t promoted it since coming over here, but I’m the Guide/GM on Roll For Friendship, an Australian Quest actual play podcast where two brothers, played by real life brothers, along with their horse-sized badger navigate powers that allow them to shift the fate of anyone they touch. #TTRPG

The single biggest issue facing Australia, everything aside, is the difficulty of procuring an egg nog latte here. Every day thousands of Australians are forced to go without an egg nog latte, and I think that’s wrong.

Even after running a lot of TTRPGs, I still find GMing a game for people I haven’t played with before always a super vulnerable experience.
