I wrapped up an entry for the #48WordRPGJam this morning! "For a Bowl of Milk" is my attempt to get inspired about tackling some chores around the house, and I'm not above bribing myself to do it. 😄

This week's solo RPG game club selection was Meet Me at the Tavern by @tapetraveler.bsky.social. It was an excellent time! In this game, each person plays solo, world-building and creating rumors as they travel the shared hex map. It ends with everyone meeting for the first time in the tavern.

New year, new schedule look! Colostle continues as the solo series, and Perspective Checks rolls on with @pjsack.bsky.social ! Then, a monthly Twitch stream hang to make Mining Media a book club, talk behind the scenes stuff, do some game design, and just be more active with nerd friends 😊

The Jamaica Disaster Relief Bundle is now live! There's computer games, TTRPGs, my feature length golf rpg is in here, and all proceeds are to help mitigate the impact of the category five storm that hit in October. itch.io/b/3458/jamai...

If you bought from us at a convention you can forward your Square receipt to [email protected] and we'll send you download links for the games you bought that come with PDFs. There's no backlog now!

Sweet Revenge is soooo killer. Everything I love about role playing games. Cant wait to see what the My First Dungeon crew does with it! (Pssst another P&P collab with Destiny is coming soon too)

Track every shot and mark it off? Or just ammo vibes? Here's how CY_BORG and a few other TTRPGs handle ammo tracking or lack thereof: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/cyborg-ammo #ttrpg #gamedesign

Mystery Snacks is my 2026 Zine Month project, featuring TTRPG mysteries organized like recipes! With key elements listed like ingredients and how-tos like recipe instructions, it's aimed at being easy to use... and a bit playful with the overall vibe. Check it out here! https://loom.ly/i0WXC24

I sat down with the My First Dungeon folks to help set them up to run a Perils & Princesses campaign!

Favourite games: A must is Blood on the clocktower. I loved the Librarian's Apprentice by @almostbedtime.bsky.social so much I have started running an interactive game on my Patreon (free membership). Blue prince was a masterful game that managed to quiet my mind.

A few weeks ago, I started reading/playing a digital copy of @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social's solo game SPINE. It was awesome, but I quickly realized that to do it justice I needed a copy that was an actual book. That print copy has now arrived, and it looks so good! backwards-tabletop.itch.io/spine

New review today! I checked out I, Toaster, a TTRPG of appliance-based adventures by @plusoneexp.bsky.social! Hitting ALL the points on late 80's cartoons, this is a great game that's easy to learn and flows in its play. Full review: https://loom.ly/FXedBqM

I'm going to try an experiment with commenting on my playthrough of @exeunt.press's Exclusion Zone Botanist solo RPG as I make my way along. exeuntpress.itch.io/exclusion-zo...

All prepped for this morning’s solo RPG club get-together! (Wish me luck on surviving @exeunt.press’s Exclusion Zone Botanist. I have… concerns.)

I've been talking about this with some people, and I really think this might happen, and I'm going to do my part as well to make it so. 2026 the year of anthologies and magazines and building communities through making things together. I'm starting early with eraserflag: ehronlime.itch.io/eraserflag

Kickstarter for Dragon Dowsers already looking pretty 🤩🐉

My kiddo and I really enjoyed Dragon Dowser together (despite it being a “solo” game.) It would make an excellent setting for a game of Daggerheart.

To all the folks who are sharing the Great Library, thank you! (And thank you as well to everyone who is getting it for themselves! 😄)

My collection of easy-to-use all-ages friendly TTRPG mysteries is going to Backerkit in Feb 2026! These work as a one-shot or drop-in for existing campaigns, and I'm hoping to add some flair from guest writers, if the stretch goals permit! Follow here! https://loom.ly/i0WXC24

Time for the epic reveal of the new cover for Mausworn! Sound on! 🔊 This was all I managed to do for #MausritterMonth Companion Jam, but I am quite proud of the result. Pushed all the limits of my current skills.
