I wanted to talk about this moment quickly cause I've been thinking about it a lot. It felt like a climax of the session mechanically and it feels worth exploring why @ryanzenith.bsky.social and I built it like this. Watch like 2 minutes from the point shared here for context.

Word that's overdue a popular return, having plenty of applicability: Jeremiad: A long literary work in which the author bitterly laments the state of society and its morals in a serious tone of sustained invective, containing a prophecy of society's imminent downfall.

CHECK IT OUT!! We have some other people working on APs (that will probably have fancier setups than this) but this one dives into all the details of getting a game going at your table. They also somehow managed to show almost every single mechanic in a one shot. Which is sort of impressive!

there is something so poignant and sad about the coffee-making robot at the Stonestown Mall. you can see the human gestures replicated by its algorithm in the gentle way it taps out the portafilter. but it can't clean the portafilter properly. each new puck contains a crust of the previous one.

Gamestorm S2E2 is out now! @ryanzenith.bsky.social and I talk ritual tradition and building games around religious themes. Check out the episode! gamestorm.podbean.com/e/a-game-wit...

Events like Gen Con owe their community an explanation of how they intend to ensure the safety of convention-goers who may be targeted due to national origin, racial profiling, or “gender policing” in a state like Indianapolis, while justifying their continued presence in such an unwelcoming state.

new trend, every time you theorypost about ttrpgs you have to go outside and you can't come back until you've made a new friend.

Switching from reading fic to writing my book is like. Oh no. Wait. I actually have to do work to read this story?

What I need people to understand is when legislators argue that professors should teach more and research less, it's not because they think our research is actually worthless. It's because they don't want anyone to be able to develop or disseminate expertise that goes against their party line.

If you’ve enjoyed Gamestorm, then go check out the Jam starting tonight and running for a month! Pick a prompt from any episode of the first season and make a little game based on it! You can find all the details in the jam below! itch.io/jam/gamestor...

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year. youtu.be/i1savUPr-yU

The first spell that was ever cast in my very first playtest session of Diabolic Dialect was ‘BONES ON THE OUTSIDE!’ Pretty horrific, I know. But man what a tone-setter! Check out the pre-launch and the full campaign coming next week! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

City of Blood and Plaster and the Print & Play for my upcoming Kickstarter - Diabolic Dialect - are both in this! Go support a good cause and get so… many… incredible games!

Back it or don't, but PLEASE watch the video trailer five times, I worked very hard on it 🙏✌️

Hot take: In fantasy games, big pantheons where there's a deity for every type of character morality and it's assumed you'll go for yours? That sucks the juice out of defining characters as sinners, apostate, of walking away from faith and returning to it; if faith is easy pablum, it has no spice.

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”

Also: I’m convinced whenever you see people come out of nowhere and have massive success in this industry, it’s because they had a trust fund, or they’re parachuting in from some other industry, or their dad is a marketing exec or something. Like, that’s almost *always* the case.

I’m most of the way through recording the next season of Gamestorm, and it’s got me very excited! We’ll be kicking the season off with @outridercreative.bsky.social here in a few weeks! Check out the first season here! Rate us on Apple Podcasts if you like the show and share it with your friends!

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

Great thread that emphasizes why it's so important to be extra loud when supporting BIPOC creators.

I have a sneaking suspicion that “subscriber” has never watched one of Matt’s videos.

Great advice

Thank you for having us! ❤️

We’re being led by the anti-vaxxers of the legal sphere: People who’ve never lived without the protections of international law and domestic regulation, so they only notice the inconvenience, not the horrors prevented. When institutions work, their benefits become invisible, until they’re gone.

I've added 30 new Community Copies to Diabolic Dialect both to celebrate the holidays and the release of our first adventure for it! Pick up a community copy or grab both in a bundle here! itch.io/s/177129/gin...

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

This has some of the most indulgent and fun writing from @ryanzenith.bsky.social that I’ve gotten to see. Which feels like it’s saying something…
