I'm a guest on the latest episode of "The 80s-est," talking #EmpireStrikesBack - the80sest.substack.com/p/s4e7-16-ca...

How I Spent My @garycon.com 2026: johnboothwrites.blog/2026/03/27/g... #ttrpg

I had a fantastic @garycon.com and will be writing more about it, but in the meantime, here's the 'zine I took with me, expanding on the one I did last year: johnboothwrites.itch.io/the-hidden-s... #TTRPG #dnd #garycon

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

Meant to tag @bastionland.bsky.social . I love tabletop RPGs so. very. much.

Learned to play Mythic Bastionland tonight in a fun one-shot. First time for everyone at the table and I loved it. #TTRPG

This reminds me of watching @jonathanhliu.bsky.social & our friend Dave learn Robinson Crusoe at Gen Con 🤣

One thing to add: Democrats really shouldn’t fear to be anti-ICE. It’s specific, unlike “defund the police.” If asked, say “Of course I support enforcing the law. ICE isn’t doing that. They’re breaking laws—really important laws, like the Bill of Rights—not enforcing them, which why I oppose ICE.”

To folks in Minnesota: In Nov., District 20b has a chance to be represented in the statehouse by a truly qualified, decent, and committed person who I'm proud to call a longtime friend. Whether you're in the district or not, please let people know about Hutch: vote4hutch.com/issues/

Mark Corcoran's art for #StarWars: The Mystery of the Rebellious Robot is far too underappreciated.

I am 'the rubber band broke and now I lost the little spray straw' old.

I said hello to Trent Reznor in line for the Blue Streak at Cedar Point.

I've been a Numenera fan since its creation. It's the first game I ever GMed, and it's still my favorite system and setting, so yeah, of course I'm in already. :)

These are mine and I did all this damage having the best times and I will never get rid of them.

As Cleveland Guardians fans check out the newly released promotional schedule, it's important that I share this goofy thing I drew last summer. 😂

My 2025 in creative/personal #writing: johnboothwrites.blog/2026/01/22/m...

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

My 2025 in #TTRPG: johnboothwrites.blog/2026/01/11/m...

And a little #selfpromosaturday action: THE TWIN HEADS OF AVARICE is a system-neutral tabletop #RPG scenario, cowritten by myself and @forgeofice.bsky.social , set in his Lost World of Azor. An Ocean's 11-style heist in a sword-and-sorcery milieu. reverse-ettin-games.itch.io/the-twin-hea...

#Books I read in 2025, and what I learned: johnboothwrites.blog/2026/01/10/b...

I ran about 370 miles in 2025: johnboothwrites.blog/2026/01/04/m... #running

Started up the band blog, and I’ll update it sort of regularly with music news. First post is up! Ampwall.com/a/negativeagent/news #Metal #IndustrialMetal #IndustrialMusic #ElectronicMusic

As we bid goodbye to 2025 — and all the thuggery, corruption, squalor, and cruelty it spewed — I want to thank you for standing up to it. Some thoughts on the year that was... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/thank-you

Tim said it best. Thank your inspirations when you can. #TTRPG

De'voreaux White, who played Argyle in Die Hard, also played the Young Guitar Thief in The Blues Brothers. (I like to think they are the same character.)

There's simply no better federal law/courts coverage and analysis out there. Subscribe or turn in your Nina Totenbag. (No shade: I adore her.)

I have loved and supported public radio for decades, but Cleveland's Ideastream is way on the wrong fucking side of this and should be embarrassed and ashamed.

OMG I forgot I have this picture from the Christmas I got that X-Wing!

I've collected some neat #StarWars stuff over the decades, but this is what's left of my original X-Wing (as seen in "Plastic Galaxy") and I think it's still cool.

This is a good one with a lot of fun possibilities.

Happy 51st time on the tree to this once-green and holly leaf-shaped ornament I made as a five-year-old in 1975.

Numenera Monster of the Week Dusk City Outlaws FASERIP Marvel

Coverage of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa's passing is perfect for playing "Guess Our Target Demographic by What Project We Lead With." (Parade magazine went with Nash Bridges. Make of this what you will.)

Finn does not care that you're trying to write.

My first treadmill run in months was way harder than I wanted it to be.

"The Art of K-Pop Demon Hunters" artbook (physical) is coming in 2026. In the meantime, here's the free digital version. >> theartofkpopdemonhunters.com

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.

Our li'l KS campaign is close to ending. We're funded (yay!) but all last-minute signal boosts and backers are sincerely appreciated. Thanks for supporting indie creators this gifting season! www.kickstarter.com/projects/joh... #ttrpg #art #indierpg

Ben digs books and RPGs. Be like Ben.

A movie that takes place where you're from.

Shamless opportunist me: Hey, look at the #ttrpg adventure @mattkish.bsky.social and I made: www.kickstarter.com/projects/joh...

Palmae aestuosae, genua infirma, brachia gravia sunt Iam thorax vomitus est, spaghetti mom.

Is there an animal collective type word for a random group of old #minis? (Besides "a lead hazard.") A clinking? A partha? A heft? #ttrpg

Alex makes amazing stuff nonstop, and is a fine human being too, so there's that. Go look. #TTRPG #indieRPG

Thanks so much for the signal boost!

Now I want to sneak Thundarr, Ookla, and Ariel into a Numenera campaign. (I know the Ninth World is incomprehensibly more far-flung, but Thundarr's Earth feels like a definite stop on the road, with its mix of early civilization + advanced technology/magic.)

Six days left to back "The Legacy of Mo'Roh" - and some fantastic news from @mattkish.bsky.social: He's got another book coming out! I can't say enough how grateful I am for his work and how excited I am to share it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/joh... #TTRPG #Kickstarter #IndieRPGs

One of the more horrifying images from the original Fiend Folio which stuck in my brain for *decades.*

Enjoy this vintage #StarWars card game from #Germany. (Also note use of the phrase "The Last Jedi.") #1970s

When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it. Tonight, at Law Dork, here it is: www.lawdork.com/p/gregory-bo...
