Looking deeper into Obsidian because of my "let's use Obsidian as a RAG source" project... and I just created a new Vault for my daily tasks and project management. And installed quite a lot of plugins to make it shiny.

​The "Indie" scene isn't dead, but it is being reorganized. We've moved from a Scene to a Market, and the independent designer is increasingly becoming a Sharecropper for the massive "AA" ecosystems like Mörk Borg or Shadowdark. 🧵 strangeworlder.medium.com/farming-the-...

The "Indie" RPG scene isn't the underdog anymore. It’s the new middle class. In 2025, the "AA" tier (Free League, Shadowdark) hasn't just succeeded; they’ve successfully gentrified the underground. My latest on why "Artpunk" is now just a shelf category: strangeworlder.medium.com/the-gentrifi...

Yesterday we played Trophy Dark #TTRPG by Author @jesseross.com. Our group traveled too deep into the forest, made discoveries, and met poetic & disturbing ends. The Actual Play video will be released later this year. Thanks GM @strangeworlder.bsky.social @silliet.bsky.social @merilainen.bsky.social

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts. There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

Today I played #TheZoneRPG by @raphdamico.bsky.social with @silliet.bsky.social @strangeworlder.bsky.social. We had a superb eve of co-creation, surreal events & a lot of Type 2 fun! Also, the true horror were the dogs we made along the way. The #ActualPlay video will be released later this year.

Tällainen tuli Myrrykseltä ulos kuin varkain!

Did some actual play test recording in-person on Saturday. The footage and audio are usable, which makes the test super successful. Rough edits seem to work as well.

Jakso 30: Piknik. Ryhmä kohtaa piknikillä jatkaakseen toimintaansa pitkän erilläolon jälkeen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9oU...

RIP Shunsaku Tamiya, age 90, the chairman of legendary modelmaker Tamiya. He didn't found the company, but started working there in 1958, just four years after its founding, and helped it shift from its original line of wooden models into the plastic kits it is so well known for today.

Eilen pelasimme +H: Rajatiloja -kamppiksen downtimen viimeisen session ennen ensimmäistä tehtävää. Käytetään debrieffaukseen Stars & Wishes -työkalua ja pakko myöntää, että nää toiveet menee levottomammiksi kerta toisensa jälkeen.

Started a new small horror #ttrpg - the night of the thriteenth. Slasher that used a deck of cards and a d13 (d4+d10 (0 is 0)). docs.google.com/document/d/1...

Mies! Oletko vähintään 15 ja suomalainen tai Suomessa asuva? Osallistutko pelikulttuuriin esim. pelaamalla video-, rooli-, lauta- tai miniatyyripelejä, katsomalla pelivideoita tai vaikkapa cossaamalla? Tervetuloa vastaamaan kyselyyn pelikulttuurista ja mieheydestä osoitteessa bit.ly/pelikulttuuri

Are you a man, at least 15 years old and either Finnish or living in Finland? Do you participate in game culture by e.g. playing video games, RPGs or miniature games, watching videos or through activities like cosplay? Take the questionnaire in Finnish or English at bit.ly/pelikulttuuri

Minä ja Petri alettiin joku aika sitten pitämään juttutuokioita, joissa juteltiin roolipelaamisesta yleisesti ja yrittäjänä. Lopulta päätettiin laitaa näitä jutteluita jakoon myös muiden iloksi! Tässä ensimmäinen jakso ja sen voi katsoa täältä: youtu.be/eaJFFcaSr8g #roolipelit #roolipelaaminen

The best decision I've Made in a long while #ttrpg

Made all my non-free itchio games fully free instead of asking for money. Most notable probably Them Deeper Bones, a retro adventure game #ttrpg strangeworlder.itch.io

Half of a shower thought, but if we've learned anything from post-capitalism's disrupting the market is that you cannot fight it the same way you fight capitalism's issues. And looking at how post-democracy is disrupting politics, I think using tools that are used with democracy's issues won't work.

www.myrrys.com/blog/25-03-0... L&L: Eevenkodon toisen pelitestikierroksen palautekysely on auki. Toisen pelitestin kohteena on lajit, joista osa on tuttuja pelaajan kirjasta, mutta saaneet Eevenkotolaisen twistin kun taas jotkin ovat täysin uusia tuttavuuksia.

if we want to make it more likely for tabletop rpg designers to make money we should figure out how to let more than .00001% of the public know that playing indie roleplaying games is even a thing that you can do. we don't have a pricing problem, we have an outreach problem.

Oonko mä vaan jotenkin tyhmä, vai väärässä kun mun mielestä nelikenttä lib-con / left-right on tosi huono kartta, koska pääosin nää kaksi mittaria on toisiinsa sidoksissa josta tulee enemmän tai vähemmän suora siihen nelikenttään. Varmasti olisi parempia akseleita jotka toimisi informatiivisemmin

Loistoa! Toinen - ja musta ehdottomasti kiinnostavin osa Eevenkodon pelitestimateriaalia on nyt ulkona. Lajit pitävät sisällään niin kiinnostavia muutoksia #L&L :n peruslajeihin - kuin kissalaisten kaltaisia "yhdeksän elämää" omaavia upeita lisäyksiä. #roolipelit #eevenkoto #d&d

I had a shower thought the other day that won't leave me alone: If time travel ever becomes possible, we are in the timeline that people will try their darnest to fix.

Anyone happen to have a link or another resource to what hardware(/other considerations that are affecting the production budgetary-wise) would be needed for a decent setup of live recording a "standard array" of 4/5 players and a gm. 4 camera setup (gm + 2 players + table). #ttrpg #actualplay

Jos 101 kansanedustajaa päättää käyttää valtaa jenkkityyliin, estääkö mikään heitä heivaamasta oppositiota pois kaikista valiokunnista ja puhemiehistöstä? Meidän demokratian iso heikko kohta on perustuslakivaliokunta. Mut asian vaan annetaan olla, vuodesta toiseen.

L&L Eevenkoto-pelitesti 1:n (loihtija) palautekierros on alkanut. Linkki kyselyyn ja materiaaliin löytyy postauksen pohjalta: www.myrrys.com/blog/25-02-1... #roolipeli #roolipelit #legendojajalohikäärmeitä #lnl

Your outie names their layers

This is the scary bit today with implications. "The President and the Attorney General, subject to the President’s supervision and control, shall provide authoritative interpretations of law for the executive branch."

Eevenkodon kampanjamaailmaa on tarkoitus lähteä lähestymään pelitestien kautta. Ensimmäiseen otimme kohteeksi loihtijan hahmoluokan, joka on saanut aika isoja muutoksia Pelaajan kirjan versioon nähden. Teemme palautekyselyn lähitulevaisuudessa. #roolipelit www.myrrys.com/blog/25-02-1...

Oon nyt käyttänyt meidän L&L pelissä Petrin Eevenkodon pelitestimatskuja - ja nää on musta aivan todella hyvää tavaraa. Eka julkinen preview löytyy www.myrrys.com/blog/25-02-1...

The importance of having someone else playtest your material, be they rules or adventures comes from the fact that you most likely are blind to what you *haven't* written down, and assume that the reader will know things that are only in your head. Playtesting will make you face that. #TTRPG 1/3

After yet another "well, if you were playing a Proper OSR game.." argument, I have decided to interpret OSR as the "Original Scottish Rules" from now on. #TTRPG #OSR en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true...

I'm not saying this is orchestrated by outside forces; it probably isn't. Politicians, their rich supporters, and media all do what they do, because that's all wired-in, it's the dynamics of late capitalism. They're autonomous actors; that autonomy is channeling itself into betrayal by definition.

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

I have a theory about why some #ttrpg people feel so cheated about #dnd5e species not having set bonuses/penalties to their stats anymore, and how that makes them feel like every playable race is "just a reskinned human now": They gave the human-specific special ability to the other species. ⬇️ 1/4

Got to play in Eevenkoto game today by @villetakanen.com - very character interaction focused L&L with great setup that created characters who had tension between them and who still managed to accomplish things efficiently. #ttrpg #legendojajalohikäärmeitä

Just as a reminder of where I stand as a game designer and a human being and that I've had my stand printed on books for years already. #ttrpg And if you want to know more why I printed that on the book, read on ⬇️ 1/2

For some reason, I keep thinking of the phrase "This fascism could have been an email."

I know that Kickstarter has its problems, but Backerkit has a reputation for screwing over or ignoring small creators with their marketing services. It happened to me. If your project is on BackerKit, I won’t be backing the campaign. Sorry. 😞

Yup. 100%. Don't forget the algorithm. It's starts with promises of "you train the algorithm" and ends with "the algorithm trains you."

Book burning? If everything was digital in Hitler's 1930s Germany, this is what his book burning would have looked like: deletion of data, removal of websites, retraction of scientific studies, censorship of words like "equity," "diversity," "climate change."

I ran a workshop on AI (ChatGPT/Gemini, mainly) use in GM prep for Alfacon yesterday. While prepping for it, I realized the root of the biggest problem I had been having with the models lately. It is that o1/gemini pro and the like have the bloody chain-of-thought reasoning built into them. ⬇️ 1/3

Koska pitää verkostoitua täälläkin, kokeillaan perinteisesti tägäämällä hashtagit: - #roolipeli - #roolipelit - #roolipelibsky - #ropecon Jos näillä satuin tulemaan vastaan, ollaan samassa jengissä niin pistä seurantaan. 😀

I'd really love it if we were entering the ".. and find out" era, but I think we are actually entering the ".. are doomed to repeat it" era.
