I'm reluctant to speak up on trans topics these days because it's often not worth the pain caused, so I'm probably going to regret this, but disappointingly a lot of people need to hear this. Accusing trans women of "male socialization" is an astonishingly cruel, callous, and spiteful thing to say.

do I struggle with executive function because of something diagnosable or do I struggle because it’s a skill I never worked on?

Everyone knows that cosmic horror thrives on the known. What is Pinhead's SSN? What's his commute like? Does he like boba?

Evidence that I have terminal TTRPG brain, exhibit 1000: Roll under your SERENITY score when you attempt to accept the things they cannot change Roll under your COURAGE score when you attempt to change the things they can Roll under your WISDOM score when you attempt to know the difference

I wrote a blog to condense all the fantastic TTRPG blogosphere GM advice I’ve read into something I could easily consult and use. Maybe it’ll be useful for you too! afcbrodie.mataroa.blog/blog/s...

"Are indie games developing a gambling problem? We'll discuss this in our article by focusing in solely on recent examples that have slot facades while ignoring the entire history of mobile games made by actual gambling industry designers"

Just finished up a blog post about how I prepared for, and continue prepping for my Shadowdark/ Caverns of Thracia campaign. If you're like me and prefer improvisation and light work to Blorb and legwork, give it a read. Hell, give it a read anyway! billhook.bearblog.dev/building-out...

Started thinking about player improv and what the hell that means! theplayreports.com/posts/player... #ttrpg #blog #improv #play

GAMING IS DEAD

BLOG POST TODAY This one's short and sweet and asks the age old question; Is the juice worth the squeeze? www.failforward.moe/2026/03/is-j...

This is a good take on magic and a cool way to give tables some RAM. This is what I want magic to feel like in my games.

If you ask someone how Into the Odd has streamlined their games, they will probably mention removing the "to hit" roll and just rolling damage. I blasphemously ask the question: can we re-incorporate accuracy and missed attacks with Into the Odd without turning it into a major slog? #osr #ttrpg

i have no personal involvement here but i have been working on a theory as i observe discourse around marathon and all other live service shooters and it can be summed up as this: everyone just wants to play team deathmatch

no sorry we’re not doing this anymore. not for a volunteer army committing atrocities

The blogmap won best post! Thanks to everyone who voted for me! Much appreciated! I have excepted my reward (burden) to host the next Bloggies in 2027! What could go wrong haha

Final day on this!

Pokémon Is OSR. Yes, seriously #osr #ttrpg #pokemon

Catch ‘Em All while you can! In commemoration of the 30th anniversary, I’m heistfunding a Poképocalyptic game based on Into the Odd. I call it INTO THE ODDISH! You can pre-order it now (until ???) #ttrpg #pokemon #osr

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

I'm trying out Fluxer as a Discord alternative. I just made the first TTRPG platform on the server. I have no idea how it will go but there's only one way to find out. Come join me if you'd like! fluxer.gg/qkU5Rk6S So far it feels extremely similar to Discord, in a good way.

Thinking about some mechanics, playing around with some dice: brackish-draught.bearblog.dev/design-diary...

are people who are emotionally unavailable the best flirts because they maintain plausible deniability the most
