Super excited to see this come out, and congrats to everyone who worked their asses off to make this happen. Side Note: I am responsible for what I think is the only ∞ in the monster book and I am not sorry.

Still getting started! But new info coming real soon! 👀 💥FOLLOW US AND STAY TUNED 💥 Superheroes vs Kaijus setting coming shortly!

Playing #ScumAndVillainy as a mystic who travels space in a bathrobe and crocs smoking jatz cabbage and rambling about hermetic orders and "infinite prognisticatory pathways" while consulting the i ching and last remaining magic 8 ball for advice. Anyway here's the character portrait I'm using.

Holy hot damn. Never expected this, but couldn't be more excited! O Captain has been nominated for an Indie Groundbreaker award!

If you're a creative type and you aren't watching #Zenshu you really fucking should be.

On the one hand I hate the annoying fucking build-a-bear ewoks in monster hunter wilds; on the other hand Rove is the perfect character no notes.

Finally getting back into Monster Hunter with #monsterhunterwilds. Made an old lady named Mildred with her Palico Mr. Whiskers. Every time I boot up the game I mutter the words "Tonight on Monster, She Wrote..."

Finally getting over my MONTH-LONG bronchitis and ear infection. Ear still feels full, but ENT appointment is at the end of April. For now working with my headset on seems to trick my brain into not noticing the stuffed ear. Thank god for small victories.

"Tyranny is ... when the governor, however intitled, makes not the law, but his will, the rule; and his commands and actions are not directed to the preservation of the properties of his people, but the satisfaction of his own ambition, revenge, covetousness, or any other irregular passion."

Community Theater people go HARD. I owe you an apology; I wasn't really familiar with your game.

Everyone should know how to navigate the file system on their computer, at a minimum. Technology of convenience is making us worse. Yes this is about ChatGPT and short-form video and reading comprehension decline but it's also about automated VTTs eroding our ability to engage with game rules

Start of Tech Week.

Sound the Foghorns: O Captain is a solo ttrpg from myself and @scooterbeast.bsky.social where you follow the stars and sail your ship to adventure. Roll LOTS of dice, build constellations, and answer the prompts to tell an enchanting story of loneliness, survival, and (of course) The Sea.

APOTHECARY DIARIES SEASON TWO!!!!

Working on a monster called "The Gigantic Flesh" this morning and folks when I say it's getting grody... I don't have a punchline, but I assure you it's getting very grody.

The gods do not deduct from man’s allotted span the days between Christmas and New Years.

Finally beat Metaphore. The more we learned about Louis the less interesting he got, and the whole final quarter or so somehow felt both rushed and draggy, but overall the game absolutely earned its accolades.

Just saw the backer and patreon releases for #drawsteel are out from @hellomcdm.bsky.social. Very proud of the War Dogs and what I'm pretty sure is the only usage of the infinity symbol in a monster statline in the book. Its a very cool system and I look forward to the release!

Shitpit Crapshoot unleashing a lot of bangers tonight. Highly recommend doing prompted design exercises with friends; accidentally created an existentially upsetting rpg about exploring "fucked up sad places" as eternally-isolated knight errant wizard-technicians and I'm very excited.

Unexpectedly at a show.

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

I have "Fozzymandias" stuck in my head and have absolutely no idea whatsoever to do with it. "Look upon my works, ye mighty, and wokka wokka"? That's nothing. Infuriating.

Give me a single image from a film that immediately makes you hear the song from the soundtrack in your head

Not sure who made this & when but fittingly came across it in my downloads folder today:

Sorry I put aviator sunglasses on the baby Jesus in your nativity scene and started singing “Highway to the manger zone.”

😂 Putting this in my next D&D campaign. #dnd #ttrpg

I wish Warren Zevon were alive to write a song called “Busted At A McDonald’s In Altoona.”

Roadside Picnic has a location as the actual main character and the protagonists are just the cipher through which it is very literally explored. The Zone is cool as hell and I see how it's gotten so many adaptations. The book says what it wants and gets out in no time flat. 8/10. #books #booksky

T.H. White's The Once and Future King is very snappily written when it wants to be and full of flavorful digression when it doesn't, is occasionally cringingly of its time, and is overall a fun transposition of the Matter of Britain into a more Douglas Adams-y key. 7/10. #books #booksky

He’s just like me fr From the PAXU Panel Kurt Vonnegut’s GHQ: The Lost Board Game

So Conclave is amazing. The performances, the cinematography, the direction: all top notch. Ralph Fiennes deserves all the awards he is sure to get.

After seven or so years, this year's Spotify Wrapped is the first to not include Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London" in any capacity. For those that know me, this is huge. Truly the end of an era. Why it was there in the first place is a story for another time, but I assure you it is a doozy.

Here it is. After many years of work, playtesting, and silly memories, I present Rockets Underground: a framework for Blades in the Dark where you play as members of Team Rocket: scrappy grunts in Goldenrod City looking for their next meal. Steal Pokemon for Profit. Defy the Odds. Hail Giovanni!

I may have aged out of Ring Pops, which now barely fit an the end of my pinky. Truly my inner child has died this day.

Well, at least I didn't get sick until I got back from vacation. Small victories.

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

It's my birthday today. That's it that's all I got. Here, have an image.

I saw ANOTHER show.

Angry bodega cat.

I'm seeing a show.

This entire row is mine. MINE! I have been blessed by the fickle gods of air travel. I will have to sacrifice a package of peanuts in praise of their largesse.

I like Bluesky but I do have the same feeling as when you're starting a new Batman spinoff and they introduce Regular Lawyer Harvey Dent and you just know that you can enjoy the character but you probably shouldn't get too attached to his fully-formed handsome face.

Is there a shitposter starter pack? My timeline is so earnest right now and I need some stupid bullshit to balance it out.

So we beat on, boys against the milkshake, borne back ceaselessly into the yard

Heading back to NYC for Thanksgiving. I need bodega food. I crave it. I haven't had a chicken and lamb combo over rice in over a year. I tried to make my own bacon egg and cheese on a roll and it just wasn't the same. The west coast doesn't even have Joe Tea. 2 days remain.
