Haggis, taters and neeps for Robbie Burns Day. Not really neeps - it’s butternut squash, which I’m told Robert the Bruce preferred.

Happy Robert Burns Day everyone! I’m not Scottish (I kind of am) but happy to enjoy a haggis with friends and family!

While I was sick for a good chunk of the holidays, I still managed to spend some time with family, eat lots of good food, and also work on an update for the game that I've been trying to get to for several months. MythmasterRPG version 3.1 - The Crafting Update is now live at www.MythmasterRPG.com

Super proud of this update - it was a big challenge to design and code so many new features in the Character Tool, but the improvements are huge and the play experience is so much better for it.

After a year, this was the first time my community caught a bug & reported it before I identified it. This is the best bug report of my entire life! Knowing the community is out there, playing the game, & willing to take the time to let me know about an issue is a huger motivator. Thanks so much!

Been a wild ride! If you haven't checked it out yet, sign up for free and join me for Year 2!

So the service that's been hosting my blog for almost 20 years is shutting down. I just ported all my content over to a new service, which is a shit way to spend the day, but at least its up and running again. Might take me a while to get all the functionality back up. www.clicknothing.com

This change sets me up to do a lot coding work on the character generator over the summer. I hope I can get it done for the 1 year anniversary!

Spent the past few months playing a high-level campaign, testing some of the rules for advanced play with experienced players, high-powered characters, and lots of prep. Very happy with the balancing that's gone into this update. #ttrpg #mythmasterRPG

Is there any worse experience than trying to order shoes online? 2yrs ago I carefully measured & spent time sizing & ordered a pair. Too small. Returned them (painless). Ordered a full size bigger. Stolen off porch. The colour I wanted was then sold out. Ordered another colour. Still too small 1/2

Probably you all don’t follow me because of hockey, but I really, really, really, REALLY, really, really want the Edmonton Oilers to win the Stanley Cup this year, and I might be loud about it. Sadly, I am traveling this week and the games will happen while I sleep but starting Game 3, block me.

This is barftastic right wing sycophancy. Fucking Andrew Ryan couldn’t come up with a more ludicrously manipulative framing than this. thehub.ca/2025/05/27/t...

New update live, just on time for my playsession tonight!

Mythmaster version 2.5.2 is now live. A small update to future-proof the character porting tool, and also a revision and clarification that the open licensing terms are irrevocable. That means any content you make using the game is yours, forever. The game is free at www.mythmasterRPG.com

Had an amazing long weekend playing Mythmaster with my two different groups. Also got to knock off a few tasks on my list and push a new version live. Check it out now for free at www.MythmasterRPG.com

No, I absolutely did not have home made poutine for lunch today. That would be totally childish and irresponsible.

Screams to mountains: "This is not a 3rd/4th/5th once-in-a-generation financial crisis. This is not '9/11 aftershock' or 'housing bubble' or 'covid retraction' or 'tariff wars'. This is a once-in-an-epoch social transformation called 'late-stage capitalism'. It's all the same crisis, for 25 years.

I just criticized Poilievre in conversation by calling him a ‘used condom’, which led to much laughter as, apparently, I have been escalating my rhetoric for months: originally he was a ‘hair tonic salesman’, then a ‘slimy weasel’, followed by an ‘empty toothpaste tube’.

New version went live at midnight.

Launching one billionaire into orbit is a necessary first step toward launching all of them into the fucking Sun.

Robert Shaw has held the title for ‘Best English Language Monologue Since Shakespeare’ for 50 YEARS. Sam Rockwell just threw a haymaker to put himself in contention. WTF

And finally, (because what's the Ides of March without a little stabbing?) six new weapons have been added to the game, including the stiletto & the flamberge which can directly apply the bleed effect. (also OVER 50 new creatures added to the Bestiary!!) sic semper tyrannis! www.MythmasterRPG.com

The Ides of March Update also includes major improvements to the world map. Tear is an entire planet (actually a moon) with 11 continents, & over 6500 years of recorded history + millennia of pre-history. The full size map is 8190x4096 and is available for free on the site. www.MythmasterRPG.com

The Ides of March Update also adds several new factions to the World Guide, and provides details and lore on many important concepts that define the functioning of the world and its states: citizenship, laws & rights, crime & punishment, finance, communications, travel, etc. ww.mythmasterRPG.com

sic semper tyrannis Mythmaster Ides of March Update just dropped. It's free. www.MythmasterRPG.com

Beware the Ides of March Update. Huge update adding tons of world development to the campaign universe of Tear. New factions, new states, new creatures, and always, lots of tuning and balancing based on thousands of hours of playtesting. Check it out at www.MythmasterRPG.com

New big update dropping soon. Sign up now at www.MythmasterRPG.com (it's free)

Not The Onion.

Did you know that Mythmaster Quickstart Guide encapsulates all the core rules of the game in only 6 pages - filled with examples - making it easy to jump in and start playing. Get it here: www.mythmasterRPG.com

I've been working on the next MythmasterRPG update for a couple of months. Coming soon! Sign up now for free at www.mythmasterRPG.com

I decided to put a new king size bed on my deck to celebrate February. Oh. Wait. No I fucking didn’t. That’s 120 cm of fucking snow. WTF.

No. I am not making haggis to celebrate Robbie Burns Day. Only a crazy person would do that. Leave me alone!

One last special update to thank everyone for their support in 2024!

Thanks Danda! Muchos gracias! I didn’t know you could mass block lists! I hope this will help make this place better!

So @bsky.app seems > twitter so far, but as numbers go up it’s getting more divisive & toxic, & I get more notifications of new Followers who are sexy-nekked-lady bots with no posts who have more followers than me? Like maybe social media is irreparably cancerous? Maybe ‘number go up’ sux?

In fact, like a sneaky fae laird coming down the chimney, I pushed this live shortly after midnight last night. Enjoy!

Special surprise announcement coming tomorrow with launch!

Got slammed at work this morning. Apologies for the delay in posting today's announcement. Update is still going to land on time Friday (in fact it's done... just watching the hands on the clock tick by).

scorpionmen!? ahhhhh!

The Holiday Update drops this Friday. Hope you'll check it out!

My last few campaigns have all had dinner parties in them with detailed multi-course menus, usually followed by assassinations, kidnappings, or burglaries. Not always caused by the players even!

Less than a week before 2.3.0 drops on time for the holidays! I'm still closing a few final issues and polishing some content.

One week from today!

D minus 7 The Mythmaster Holiday Update also adds details on how wilderness survival works in absence of food, water or shelter along with refinement and rebalancing of the Survival, Hunting, Fishing, Foraging and Traps skills. Sign up now at www.mythmasterrpg.com

The countdown continues!
