I rate Project Hail Mary a 10/10 for books that I won't be shutting up about for the next several weeks.

It’s not every day you get served an ad for your own game! Shoutout to Noble Knight Games (@nobleknightgames.bsky.social) for having Doctors & Demons in stock and surprising me while I scroll online!

If you're looking for a duet game with a bit of DRAMA today, may I recommend Feathers and Thread. ennio-goes.itch.io/feathers-and...

ICYMI I published my third book last week! (and tomorrow begins the audiobook rollout, starting on Spotify)

Introducing the newest and furriest O’Leary! Tali (short for Tali’Zorah) is a sweet little neighborhood kitten we took in when it started getting cold out, and over the past few weeks she’s quickly made herself at home with us. We’ll be waiting another month before we start charging her rent.

We're a small team of creators and writers hoping to make the biggest #ttrpg idea I've had so far. We're making not just a great game, but also paying writer 22.5 cents per word. Click the Notify Me On Launch button, and help us fund! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gno...

Slightly diminish a game. Text Message of Cthulhu.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Yes, if you have to carve out a few scant minutes a few times a week, you project may take months or years to finish. But if you don't start, that time will pass anyway, without having a project at the end. Do The Thing.

Ironically enough, regular Monopoly no longer has a monopoly on the Monopoly market.

It’s weird that musicians often use a lot of bandwidth to write their songs, but not usually a lot of bandheight.

‼️48 HOURS LEFT TO CROWDFUND BITE THE HAND‼️ We need about $2300 more to fund! Not a giant amount of money in the grand TTRPG crowdfunding scheme, so I think we can do it! Help share it far and wide! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...

Super awesome to finally meet my game-designing cousins @paintingmoreorcs.bsky.social and @jenkatwrites.bsky.social in person tonight! It was delightful to hear about all the amazing projects they’ve worked on and fun to know that making fun stuff just runs in the family!

Tonight, my brother ( @paintingmoreorcs.bsky.social ) and I got to meet our distant cousin ( @zondrio.bsky.social ) who is also an RPG designer! There’s a very funny small-world-type story here! So much fun! Game family VERY LITERALLY!

My sister @jenkatwrites.bsky.social and cousin @zondrio.bsky.social are both also TTRPG professionals, and the three of us got together to meet face to face and talk shop this evening. I feel a bit under accomplished compared to the two of them, but it was a very inspiring meetup!

We've got 9 days to go, and a little under $2500 left to fund! Not a giant amount of money in the grand TTRPG crowdfunding scheme, so I think we can do it! Help us out! If fellow creators are looking for some cross-promotion or something let me know, I'm finding the limits of my own reach here.

If you're into them, you should grab my in-development games as community copies, because that means itch will let me email you dev logs when there's updates to them! Even if you don't think you'll get around to reading it for a while (or ever! I know how it is!), it tells me people are interested!

Do shapeshifters experience imposter syndrome?

Finally got to run the beta for Bite the Hand (from @spellbookgaming.bsky.social) this weekend and it was a BLAST! This #ttrpg captures the aesthetics and mood of cyberpunk and perfectly pairs it with Mothership's rules-light Panic Engine system. If you like being a punk, check it out below!

You win some, you louvre some.

Most people know that fortune favors the bold, but they don’t know that fortune also favors the italicized and underlined, too.

Super excited to have assisted @ugli4life.bsky.social with line editing for Reel Fear! It’s a great game and it’s sure to bring delightful horror to your table this spooky season! Check it out below ⬇️

Huckleberry is such a great game and it's no surprise it funded so quickly! It's an amazing game with an elegant system, great writing, and evocative artwork. Collect your own bounty rewards by backing it at the link below!

Check out Beyond the Lighthouse for Candela Obscura! This supplement features work from so many talented folks and it’s sure to provide your table with some truly unforgettable sessions!

Two rules for running good TTRPG combat: 1. Every table is different and there is no “right way” to run it. Do what’s fun for you and listen to player feedback. 2. Train fights.

Working for a magazine is usually great, but it does have its issues.

This is a super cool project from a seriously talented writer and cartographer! Anybody interested in worldbuilding should check out Adam’s new book!

If your adventuring party is having a potluck, always anticipate your barbarian to bring the punch.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Tonight's the night, #ttrpg folks! I'll be live and on your screen, chatting with @roleplaychat.bsky.social about worldbuilding for ttrpgs, big and small.

“This will be a clean headshot.” -Photographer Assassin

There should be a job platform for tattoo artists called InkedIn.

You either TPK as heroes... ...or you live long enough to see the campaign fall apart due to scheduling problems.

Just make it exist first. You can make it worse with each new pass while getting increasingly frustrated later.

Just received the Kinfire Delve Bundle from @incredibledream.bsky.social! Teaching this game (and Chronicles) at to gamers at Gen Con was a delight and working with the demo team was a phenomenal experience. Looking forward to delving at home with friends and family!

I’m making chocolate-flavored dice so I can always fudge my rolls.

If you’re at Gen Con, come visit @indiepressnetwork.bsky.social at Booth #449 to see a ton of cool indie games! It’s so satisfying to see Doctors & Demons among so many other great games.

Wife: I have a lot of strong preferences for what kind of keyboard I use. Me: Would you say you have a…type?

Super excited that Doctors & Demons is making it to Gen Con this year! Check out @ipr.bsky.social at #Booth449 to grab your copy!

Now is a great time to grab the No ICE in California Charity Bundle if you haven't already! It supports two incredible immigrants' rights organizations and has over 500 games for a donation of $10 or more! Bundle link: itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

A tragedy in six words. “For Sale: Weekly campaign, never started.”

Wife and I saw the new Superman movie. Much like his crest, it's S-tier.

Might be a good time to remind folks of the No ICE in California itch bundle raising funds for the immigrant defenders law center (or you can donate to them directly) itch.io/b/3110/no-ic...

Did you know some lizards have to yell to see their surroundings? It’s called “gecko-location.”

Interested in a new Weird West TTRPG? After years of work, the sign-up page for our Kickstarter campaign is now live! We start funding September 2025! #indiedev #rpg #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/tal...

“Looking back on it, probably not a good idea.” -Orpheus, recounting his trip through the Underworld

As a GM, the look of dread on a player’s face as they hear that the final boss battle music is a choir singing in Latin will always be a satisfying feeling.

Those who do not study the history of game design are doomed to one day claim their new TTRPG has unparalleled levels of realism.
