the phrase "do it scared" has done so much for my mental health i cannot stress how lifechanging it is to realize: if you are scared of doing something (especially if it can be beneficial to you), you cannot wait for yourself to not be scared. it will always seem scary. you have to do it scared

My Brighton peeps interested in diverse books 👇🏽

Palestinian game dev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.com is announcing the promised second crowdfunding campaign for his beautiful Dreams on a Pillow - but @safety.bsky.app has decided you can't know about it and marked his entire account as spam. Another obstacle in him just telling his story via games.

I really needed to see this thing I just saw on Tumblr: Write it badly or it'll never be written Write it badly or it'll never be written Write it badly or it'll never be written Write it badly or it'll never be written Write it badly or it'll never be written

I'm chairing a panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry this year at UKGE. One of the panelists, an academic working in AI ethics, has put together a short survey about it. If folks could fill it out that would be incredible. Thank you! forms.gle/1WVjs9Jrdk1F...

Think of how many games where the verb is violence. How many games (including the ones nominated for tonight’s BAFTA awards) where you shoot, fight, kill. But when games want to explore the topic of violence in a meaningful way, that’s the issue?

*tap tap tap* Is this thing back on? All of my mecha #ttrpg are now in The (Mostly) Solo Mecha Trilogy [BUNDLE] @drivethrurpg.com - you can become a pilot stranded in space, a giant robot with many pilots, or a stressed mecha mechanic all at once for 30% off! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Welfare helps people participate in society. It also moves money around the economy, keeping it healthy. They call it a “cost”. AI cuts jobs, makes useless un-copyrightable content, raises the energy bills of anyone living near them, and makes no money. They call it an “investment”. 🙃

okay I published another RPG thoughts essay on itchio, because I thought it worked fine the last time. this one is only 13.5 pages. this one is blue. jen-adcock15.itch.io/rpgs-as-fandom

Hello #PortfolioDay! I'm Toby, a concept artist, illustrator and seller of little guys currently open for work (both commercial and private) especially in Tabletop gaming, TCG and publishing 💼 puntopng.carrd.co 📫 [email protected] 🛒 www.etsy.com/shop/PuntoIl...

Promote your game here. MÖRK BORG is a pitch-black, rules-light apocalyptic fantasy RPG about scum and fools seeking redemption, forgiveness or the last remaining riches in a bleak, dying world. Inspired by extreme metal music, it's grimdark turned to 11. A spiked flail to the face. morkborg.com

Mum Chums is quasi-autobiographical and reflects being a mum beyond just the gameplay. People look at the cover and think it is a cozy game, when it is raw and vital. They overlook it, say they are glad it exists, but often stop there. If I had to suggest only one of my games to play, this is it.

Another EUphoriaCon panel announcement! The inimitable @pennyblake.bsky.social delivers a talk on adapting folklore from our own cultures into TTRPGs. Tune in at www.twitch.tv/EUphoriaAP

Start with SWORN++HEART and continue with SOULWROUGHT. Two duet #TTRPG games about love, power, and the kind of bond that walked right out of a romantasy book. Inspired by T.Kingfisher's Saint of Steel series! Available physically and digitally at: shorturl.at/zwhrN 

After nearly two years of unofficially (and then officially) coordinating a Games and Animation program, I'll say this: Video-game industry people and tabletop industry people see eye to eye: game recognize game. It's all the *adjacent* folks, many with the pursestrings, who only see the VG folks.

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

You should never be afraid to ask tabletop RPG authors dumb questions about their games because that's literally how we tell whether or not what we wrote is working.

Important survey: a) Are you part of the LGBTQIA+ community? b) Do you make and/or play games? c) Do you have Thoughts about games you want to share with the world? If so, great news! Programming applications for Flame Con 2026 are open and the Gaymer Lounge wants to hear from you!

People keep asking me if I use AI to make writing easier. And I keep telling them: I do not want it to be easier. Whenever I have done any good work, it's because I either thought about it a LOT or I have inadvertently spent ten years thinking about it so it comes easy. The thinking is the point.

Listeners! I've released a new TTRPG! For those looking to answer the age-old question "What if Columbo fucked?" I bring you 'In Hot Pursuit', a 2-player Old Man Yaoi TTRPG. Act out your favourite problematic Webtoons as a Detective and Killer ruining each other's lives. theneoncaster.itch.io
