@grahamwalmsley.bsky.social's Play Unsafe is a cracking little read. Full of encouraging improv tips that might be obvious to some but has certainly helped identify some potential weak spots for me as an RPG player.

They're finally here... In this corporeal sphere! @melsonian-arts-council.itch.io and @iglootree.bsky.social House of Troika! playing cards & initiative deck for Troika! The Science Fantasy Roleplaying Game. Each card beautifully illustrated by Shuyi Zhang. #troika #ttrpg #playingcards

So, the kids have been off for a week and already it feels like I'm trapped in an episode of Don't Hug Me I'm Scared. "I was thinking about doctors in the olden days and how things have changed. Did you know that now they can tell if you're dead or not?"

My daughter just asked me what the opposite of "search" is and it hit me like a zen koan. Apparently, "hide" doesn't cut it.

Happy to be the 136th 😈 on @BackerKit for TROIKA! Playing Cards & Initiative Deck. troika-deck.backerkit.com/community_sh...

Ooo, I wasn't expecting this to arrive quite so soon. Midnight of the Century from @byodinsbeardrpg.com is an investigative horror game inspired by the 90s TV show Millennium and games Liminal Horror, Brindlewood Bay, and Cthulhu Dark. #ttrpg #horror

Who needs players? Explore the other side of tabletop roleplaying with @capacle.bsky.social's expanded Triple-O player character emulator. I can't wait to play around with this? So, test run a published module or journey through my own world? 🤔

I'm relatively new to the diabolical delights of Arthur Machen but, being familiar with the work of @voxparlour.bsky.social, I had to grab me one of these from @ospreygames.bsky.social #weird #horror #folkhorror #gumshoe #ttrpg

Almost forgot to promote today's Movie Monday episode. Ridley Scott's Blade Runner from 1982. One of my favourite movies of all time! Got to have a great chat about it with good friend Barney "Loco Ludus" Dicker. #scifi #neonoir #cyberpunk #80s #film #reviews open.spotify.com/episode/3IOm...

Tickled to be the 1,508th 😈 on @backerkit.com for Fomoria – Epic Folk Horror Roleplaying. fomoria.backerkit.com/community_sh...

Another great episode of @goodfriendsofje.bsky.social. As someone who's spent most of their life working odd hours "behind the scenes", I've always found liminal spaces oddly appealing. #liminal #uncanny open.spotify.com/episode/110f...

A wee reminder that this month's movie is Ridley Scott's Blade Runner. Movie Monday airs on May 25th. If you'd like to share your thoughts, email or send some audio to [email protected] or look me up on discord. #BladeRunner #SciFi #CyberPunk #MovieReview

A great episode of The Horror Double Bill podcast this week. Craig Johnson takes a look at 2 movies by Bernard Rose, the largely forgotten childhood trauma of Paperhouse and urban gothic classic Candyman. #horror #film #review open.spotify.com/episode/4bSJ...

Taron Pounds' Vagabond Pulp Fantasy RPG is d20 roll over built like a roll under system. Well laid out with light rules for GMing but a bit of tactical crunch reserved for the players. Could be great for beginner GMs and plenty of neat tricks for more seasoned ones I imagine. #ttrpg #dnd

After 6 years of playing Call of Cthulhu, I figured it was high time things got physical. #CoC #CallofCthulhu #TTRPG

Here's an audio unboxing episode. Listen to me open a bunch of things and marvel at content you cannot see. #ttrpgs #dnd #osr #callofcthulhu #SoloRPG #indiegames open.spotify.com/episode/0Vox...

I couldn't help but grab myself a copy of @barrelrider.bsky.social's White Box Dungeon Adventures. At 50 pages, it's basically a stripped down introductory supplement for White Box Cyclopedia. #osr #dnd #ttrpg #zine

So, what's it going to be? A Green and pleasant land or an inferno of hate? #ElectionResults

I've really enjoyed the last couple of Good Friends episodes featuring @sashasienna.bsky.social discussing gateway horror and classic monsters. Plenty of recommendations to add to the to-read list.

So my buddy @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is doing a poll about favorite TTRPGs. But he needs a signal boost beyond his own fanbase. So, for science (or simply for Bob, because he's a nice guy), can you take a minute to do this simple, 2-question survey? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
