Mikey Day can tell when you if it's cake, and when you will die.

This is a good perspective on the orders of magnitude in the TTRPG publishing industry, and by and large positions us correctly at the bottom-most named tier (while acknowledging that there's a broad swath of indie designers further down). cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2026/02/11/f...

The Baby is loading buckshot into the nerf guns.

No shade to those who haven't, but I beg you, please don't sign on for royalty payment deals without an up-front advance payment made against those royalties. Looking at the whole field, many projects never "earn out". Advances give you *something* even in that case, otherwise, you worked for free.

Serving up a homemade four-way of Cincinnati Chili. What is your favorite regional dish?

Three hours of game, with one or two hours of socializing when playing with friends. Doesn't matter if it's in-person or online. A four-hour block at a convention.

We've watched six of the seven Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies over the past two weeks. Jurassic World Rebirth is one of the better films in the series. Solidly in the middle of the pack. Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom is the worst, with Jurassic World Dominion coming in at #6.

What are your favorite games? Some of mine: - Traditional Card: Hand and Foot - Board Game: Sentinels of the Multiverse - Video: Devil May Cry - Roleplaying: Mage: The Ascension/L5R 4e (tied). - Indie RPG: HEDGE - Wargame: BattleTech - To Play with my Wife: Love Letter

A new-for-me request from a TTRPG client: Editing YAML files in a GitHub repository for a @morkborg.com compatible project.

The first solo game of my 2026 journey is The Balsam Lake Unmurders by @paulczege.bsky.social A friend of mine—who is also a gamer and bog witch—works for the FBI, so this will be a fun one to tell them about once I've finished my play session.

2026 is my year of Solo games. I backed I Have Lived A Thousand Lives on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/201... and you should, too, so @alexrineh.art can continue to create great games and help me play even more this year.

Solo But Not Alone 6 is live. Get the games, so many the games, give money charity yay! mental health so important, help people help people. games? good ones. itch.io/b/3481/solo-...

TTRPG layout designers, please send me your portfolios. For a client I'm doing some consulting for.

Which of the Jurassic Park/World movies is the worst?

Comstar is magic. #BattleTech #SpaceAT&T

Should dragons have: - 4 Legs + Wings? - 2 Legs + Wings? - 4 Legs - No Wings? - A secret, 4th option?

Jurassic World Rebirth continues the Jurassic Park tradition of child endangerment.

One joy of moving is finding delights that have gone missing. @exeunt.press are a few of these from your offerings? I remember picking these up at Save Against Fear from @thebodhanagroup.bsky.social

Ground State, Ex. Force Book 19, continues to follow Craig Alanson's winning formula for the Merry Band of Pirates, with great references to Battlestar Galactica, Terminator 2, and Martha Wells The Murderbot Diaries.

Next dining quest: food court bourbon chicken. Double meat, extra sauce, no egg roll.

Today begins my wife's quest for the best pizza in Cleveland. Have you been to The Forest City? Do you have any recommendations? (Image source: Cleveland magazine.)

Godzilla bless us all.

Five Jobs I've Had: 1. Pizza Delivery Driver (First) 2. DoD Contractor 3. Rare TTRPG Dealer 4. IT Manager 5. TTRPG Editor (Current)

On the recommendation of Navi from @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social, I'm back on Bluesky. Who should I follow here? Who are your favorite TTRPG and Board Game creators?

Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game is officially dead, but Mythic Games and Red Hook have worked together to offer failed backers the files ⬇️ #DarkestDungeon #BoardGames #TabletopGames www.wargamer.com/darkest-dung...

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it. Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior. Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

Three years later, Honor Among Thieves holds up as a good adventure movie & a great Dungeons and Dragons romp. I'd love a resurgence of sword and sorcery movies, growing up with films like this in the 80s. What's your favorite fantasy movie? What property would you like to see on the big screen?

What are your favorite accessories when running or playing an IRL #TTRPG? As a GM, I love the Pyramids from @looneylabs.bsky.social I have several sets in different colors and use them on maps in place of miniatures, as bennies in Savage Worlds, or tracking conditions in d20 games.

After a long wait, the Trench Crusade 1.0 hardcover rulebook has arrived. Coming in at over 300 pages of skirmish combat and campaigns, the results are the alt-history, grim-horror wargame promised by the authors.

Just a few weeks until zine quest, when I'm funding I have lived a thousand lives, a solo Journaling game about jumping in and exploring physical books you have in your home. How will you change the story? How will the story change you? One way to find out! Follow the project now

Me: Four case-files is probably enough for playtest purposes; keep it tight and constrained so no one gets analysis paralysis. Also me: There is no harm in writing a dozen and then choosing which four are the strongest and then falling in love with the other ones... Mechs are interesting patients.

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month. All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much. itch.io/s/179351/jan...

Editing manuscripts reminds me of a conversation with a friend who is a UX designer: clients have an idea of what they have in mind, but at best can only describe 80% of that desire explicitly. (1/2)

Reading is one of the most valuable things we can do with children, as they develop in early childhood. To teach my son he can never trust Mars or the Earthers, his current bedtime stories come from The Expanse. #OPA

As our snow forecasts increase from 8 to 10 to 12 to 16 possible inches, we're planning to be snowed in, and digging out, for a few days. Thankfully, I have new TTRPG reading for in-between my shoveling shifts.
