I also played twilight imperium today but couldn’t tweet it which is a shame because it included the best comeback our group has ever seen

I’ve been locked out of this account for like a month. Hi everyone. I got married last week!

I think in general i'm going to thought dump here more often too because i spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff and frankly if i post Online i can just get it out of my head and get back to work.

admittedly at least half if not more of those rejections are from an earlier draft that got reworked significantly. But it's still a first book and so I'm not expecting a miracle

so as my first novel is coming up on 50 rejections I was planning to trunk it and move on. I have already started a new novel. But now i'm sort of thinking, why trunk it? I may as well just self publish right?

not surprised some really great art advice from one of the best musicians of the modern era www.youtube.com/watch?v=njrJ...

Fight in the Dark

Never leave home without it

the road ahead

After fighting the greatest enemy (scheduling), we were finally able to kill the thorn dragon! Players liked the map, despite it seeming be about to fall over at any time.

just got my fastest query rejection ever - only 20 minutes! Nice.

Threxyl Lariat and Detector from Draw Steel.

Oh go on then

Hey Draw Steel knowers, in “The Dark Heart of the Wood,” are a Threxyl’s mobility roots bunched up at the base like a crinoid, or along the side, like a centipede. Also, are their bodies just one vine, or a mess of vines? #DrawSteel

I am very excited to run dark heart of the wood #drawsteel

James is right the whole team did such a great job! I was blown away by the maps for example. Play this quest!

Adventures are my favourite thing to design because you get to do a little bit of everything. Characters, monsters, magic items, story, map design!

Dark Heart is out today! This is my first release as lead designer so I’m very excited. I can’t wait to hear how people find it!

First 8 player age dawning in our galaxy. I was a species of space dinosaur that used black holes to eat other peoples ships and turn them into my own. I got to 9 points and then played a relic card which would have given me the win on a d10 roll. I rolled bad and my home planet blew up

Hi TTRPG people, my calendar is currently free heading into 2026, so I'm looking for more freelance design work! If you're interested you can check out my current portfolio here, which I'll be updating further over the next few months: crypticparlour.com/games

Hell yes

As always: love and support to my North American friends out in the streets fighting against tyranny. You’re my heroes. Stay safe and stay sharp. Fuck ice

Drawing Draw Steel: Day 2: Angulotl Cleaver

Back on the agent querying horse 🤠

Hell yeah they do

to those of you about to test dark heart of the wood. My dark heart of the wood goes out to you

Hello draw steel followers. I am currently sitting on a draft warfare system for DS and have started to think about making it a paid release (with MCDMs blessing). Once Dark Heart of the Wood wraps, would you like that? Is there interest in that being a thing next year? (I’ll probably do it anyway)

just did 63 damage on a level 1 fury in Draw Steel after getting the shit kicked out of us by a mutant pig, this game rules

A very exciting day for me :)

quick book update: after receiving feedback from an agent last march that it was too short (it really was), I set to expanding it and rewriting the end. I have now reworked the whole thing 18 months later. Time to break out the agent spreadsheet again?
