So as I mentioned. I will be at Pax Unplugged (2025) this year so I made a schedule. I will be running two games on Friday, one in the Accessible Forward Gaming and the other being Intersection Games Library. Obviously, if you want to meet or if you see me in wild feel free to say hi! 🤓

Me: Time to game prep and use this classic module from Traveller Also Me: Realized It has so much sciency jargon and I dont want to read it as much.

We just released The Ghosts in the Walls, a small brochure-sized TTRPG using tarot cards! It was fun to try and make it all fit in such a small space! wendigoworkshop.itch.io/the-ghosts-i...

For all those headed to PAX Unplugged this year, I made a quick cheat sheet for finding booths featuring TTRPGs in the Expo Hall :D If I missed any, let me know! #PAXU #PAXUnplugged

I just got an email from a former mentee telling me that one dinner conversation changed how he writes papers♥️ I told him: “just write the paper, get it out—the next one will be better, and the next even better.” Perfectionism is a trap (and a way to procrastinate...:))

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Hey, friendly reminder that Scott Cawthon's donations to the GOP literally contributed to SNAP suspension and you shouldn't buy or stream Five Nights at Freddy's anything.

Man, being so busy with personal life is annoying me because I crave the sweet feeling of faggotry, ttrpgs, and staring at a video timeline But instead I gotta "read for school" 😩

I recommend: pandiongames, manysidedmedia, kendomakesfilms, moreblueberries, mixuppixels, plusoneexp, rowanzeoli, scene_four, adambellgames, willjobst, vidityavoleti, superdillin, deernicorn, partyofonepodcast, and goblinmixtape to name a few!

i’m too lazy to use this but i feel like i’m cooking here

Remember: Your excitement is contagious. When you genuinely hype up a creator's work, other people notice. Your enthusiasm can be the spark that turns someone else into a fan. Support doesn't always need a price tag.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I can’t think of any indie TTRPG designers I know who want to be put up on a pedestal, be turned into some sort of icon by the people who read and play their games. They’re just people, with normal human wants and needs. If there’s anything specific they want, it’s for you to buy their games.

*screams*

Do you like lesbians and mechs? Messy power dynamics and half-alive robots you have to swap blood with? I just released GIRL FRAME, a TTRPG inspired by Mechsploitation, Armored Core, and Evangelion. Go check it out! anxiousmimicrpgs.itch.io/girl-frame

Here's something that's not talked about enough The air pollution from burning fossil fuels kills an estimated 10 million people a year 1 in 6 deaths is caused by fossil fuels www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

The first two episodes of the revival of Reading Rainbow have nearly 500,000 views each 🤯 Do you know how cool that is for literacy, for book joy?! We are all worthy of reading, we are all readers 💚 And NOW episode three is out! Take a look, it’s in a book 📚🌈🦋 youtu.be/e4VIV48ZB0M?feature=shared

Deeply appreciate M87 Games taking the time to talk me through the practical, political, and deeply personal decisions behind creating fonts for a Ukrainian edition of @morkborg.com www.wargamer.com/mork-borg/uk...

There’s no deadline for becoming who you’re meant to be. Growth takes the time it needs. You’re allowed to bloom late. You’re allowed to begin again.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Even in this world overflowing with content, I find myself remembering and quietly thinking about those works whose creators have vanished — the ones that simply stopped updating, with no word, no closure.

Remember this also means don't dunk on bigots with quote replies. You can turn off quote replies here, if they were hurt and didn't want you to do it you'd know.

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Oops! I accidentally sent this essay a day early, the second in my series about books in ttrpgs and how we play with them. When and why do we call our games "books"? What terms do we use for our books and why?

I cannot express to you how urgent it is that we all loudly and constantly support queer media right now. It is my number one goal for this year, to support and promote as many queer artists as possible.

The teaser trailer for By Time You See Me There Will Be Nothing Left, my directorial debut about a messy t4t serial killer couple, being a mentally ill cripple, and living in California in 2025, it’s a very depressing fucked up little movie and I can’t wait to show to yall (kickstarter below)

Activism and community building online may be critical, but it's also increasingly subject to surveillance. Trans and queer activists are looking toward new models, with degrees of visibility that balance safety with surveillance, just as sex workers have learned to do.
