A new INTO THE PORTAL, as we look back at our goals from '25 and look ahead to setting our goals for 2026!

if sisyphus and the omelas kid traded shifts every few days do you think they’d be more happy or less happy

I’ve added the script for Wake Up Dead Man to my site. This is the final shooting script, so it has stuff that was cut and moved around, which I always think is more interesting to see than a conformed cleaned up version. Enjoy! www.rian-johnson.com/screenplays

This sounds VERY fun.

A new INTO THE PORTAL, as we look back at our goals from '25 and look ahead to setting our goals for 2026!

I’ve been waiting for a successor to Coming Out on Top. It’s time, yall.

Rage and whimsy are not mutually exclusive.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Someone cast John Clarence Stewart as one of the leads of a gay musical romantic drama please. We need this. As a species.

The audio visualizer in Fortnite (on by default for all players) is an innovative UI element that genuinely improves and enhances the game, in addition to creating a fairer play experience. So, why haven't more games implemented it? I think there are several reasons: #gamedev #ui #ux

Today was a good day, alternating between working on revisions on a pilot script I love that's developed some unexpected life, and starting in on a proper playtest document for Devil's Hollow so that I can see the bones and the meat in motion after years of simply imagining it.

💫COSMIC COLLECTION HAS LAUNCHED You can now back this project on Kickstarter! Check out the early bird tiers and see more photos on the page. We are so excited to finally share this, thank you so much for the support! Fly safe explorers🛸🚀🌌 link ⬇️

I know there’s been a lot of discussion of board game and ttrpg mechanics influencing each other. Is there such thing as a Role-Playing Board Game (RPBG)? Should there be?

i will never finish reading all of this poetry if i keep buying more poetry

In 2025 we raised ~$300 to fund a new website which remains unspent. As our final act upon this material plane, we will be using that money to award 6x $50 USD micro grants to ttrpg designers or content creators that could use a small boost.

Songs making me feel things this morning:

Early signs are that this is indeed extremely dangerous. I’ve played at least a little almost every night after work this week. Fuck, this game feels good to play.

when the brain finally lets you do the small easy task you’ve been wanting to do for days

Hey you! Are you a TTRPG writer staring at discourse on bluesky??? Would you rather be writing for a game? I want to pay you (at $0.20/word) to write for a zine month project! I'm seeking folks interested in folk stories and examining power structures in storytelling!

I want to: — make a game somebody actual-plays — write a monologue that wins an actor an award — get a ‘whatever the hell is happening with heated rivalry’

Literally tonight the love of my life was scared of me because I purchased a new jacket. it's okay lil guy, it's me, that guy who lives in your house

My favourite type of movie is ‘two handsome idiots slowly sort out their attraction to each other’.

You’re all so silly. It’s really easy to feel good when you’re tired or stressed or burnt out. I just go to the spa*! * sit in my hot shower for two hours gently dissociating

I am an expert-level joke writer, I work fast, and I can produce high volume. If you give me a subject and an hour, you’ll get an overflowing bucket of jokes and alts that are (mostly) ready for prime time.

I’ve got really fucking good instincts for structure. I write great emotional scenes. I’m good at interesting thorny characters and relationships, especially queer monsters. When the moons align I can be genuinely funny. And sorry not sorry, I WILL make you horny for the villain.

Game writing internship! There are very specific criteria so make sure you read the information. Not affiliated. Shares welcome. job-boards.greenhouse.io/crystaldynam...

A very dangerous personal development: I got Gears Tactics working on my Steam Deck.

A tale of playtesting and how you don’t really know what mechanics work until you bring ones that don’t work to your table, maybe more than once

One month left until Scarlet Hollow Episode 5's release. Over 250,000 words of new, intricately branching narrative to explore. The consequences of your actions are coming home to roost. Some bonds strengthen, and others shatter. You don't know what's coming.

Do yall think these would go together? Y/N? (I don’t own either one, just outfit daydreaming.)

“Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death,” an AO3 fic in which Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who runs the lottery in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, is astounding. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

Pinning #2 and #3 to my vision board.

I do think, ultimately, my ideal style may be 'gentleman son of a cowboy and a witch'.

Are you a nerd who loves tabletop RPGs AND A sex worker? I want to talk about All's Fair with you specifically!!!!!! Make yourselves known to meeee.

We're gonna need an avenger's style crossover movie of the Justin Halpern's Dad Cinematic Universe at the end of this

And we are LIVE! The solo gaming event of the year, Solo But Not Alone 6! Buy 90 items for only $10, all-new singleplayer TTRPGS! We have horny ones, we have scary ones, we have therapeutic ones and kid-friendly ones and more! itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

This is, maybe, perfect????

I've created a submission for this jam! #ttrpg

#TTRPG Designers, players, & related nerds: @ttrpgcataloging.bsky.social is a group of Library & Information Science MA students are working on a research project focused on improving cataloging for TTRPGs — unbelievably important work! They’re seeking participants for interviews.

I have finally started my first solo journaling TTRPG! I am playing Thousand Year Old Vampire, a prompt at a time between other things, and it rules. Three prompts down, dying to see where this journey goes.

Reframing my GM mindset from “challenge comes from threatening the PCs’ lives” to “challenge comes from threatening their goals” has made my experience at the table more fun. The tension can come from the chance of them completing their goals rather than the possibility of death. #ttrpg

Everything DIE for $15! That's: - The massive corebook - A map-based scenario about previous lovers (the "Ex-Crawl") - Couple's therapy as an explicit wargame - Ersatz Yu-Gi-Oh - 6 other scenarios ranging from upsetting to innovative to upsettingly innovative

I am tired of having a bunch of fantastically interesting tomes of game design on my shelves that I’ll ’read later’, so one of my initiatives for the year is to get into reading them. Complete with a nerdy little Sheets tracker with three-month milestones, and a list of other relevant readings. 😁

Meow Wolf seeks Game Designer (Project-Based), based out of Santa Fe, Denver, Vegas, Houston, Dallas, NYC, or LA. Working on-site in Santa Fe, or remotely. Some travel expected. meowwolf.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/MeowWo...

you know how many horror movies start with you being invited to do a thing that seems a little sketch, but you go anyway because your friends are going and what's the worst that could happen? i always turn down invites like that

Every so often, I go back and reread one of my fav TTRPG posts, which always reminds me that good design is just as much about the negative space.
