Trying to figure out mechanics for a Hard Wired Island microgame about a Space Yule Goat. The question is, would you be protecting the goat or drunk enough to try burning it

My mum was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a year ago so I've been dealing with that in the background. I thought the surgery window passed but we just found out that actually it's growing pretty slowly and we can totally still do it. Everything's coming up Milhouse

Make one that's based on Clamp, so the length of your noodly limbs is a Stat.

Dudes keep being like "our next TTRPG is Ghibli inspired". Boring. Boo. It should be Gainax inspired.

It's fine everyone, I got this.

"Capitalism Destruction Shop"

Figuring out what else I need to set up in advance of the next Hard Wired Island campaign, and pondering a new track since I'm doing a new OST anyway. What if I lost my mind and arranged a theme song with lyrics

TIP: If a big Discord server you're in announces they're closing, post confessing to your various crimes at the last possible moment. Most people will dismiss it as a joke but some won't be sure. Do it right and it'll eat away at them forever. You can also post "poop butt" and not get in trouble

Do you think, if you opened Google Maps and there was a quest marker a mile away, you’d go there

@peregrinecoast.press Hey! I'm reaching out because I wanted to confirm you got the payment from the last Hard Wired Island invoice. Have things been settled on your end? 👀

Seen a lot of discourse about TTRPG rankings, possibly because I haven't posted my perfect and unassailable opinions for a few years.

ME: This new chicken place gave me one more tender than I asked for... to buy my loyalty early, perhaps? An interesting gambit... and the chicken is quite good... well played, sirs BRAIN: Or they fucked up ME: Or they fucked up, yeah

Saw a comment on Wetrunner asking "what was wrong with" calling it Petrunner and making it a Blade Runner riff. I mean, that would be a different game for one thing

Wetrunner, by Weird Age Games, is a ttrpg about cyberpunk fish heist. In the 2150 when the world was ravaged by climate change, fish has almost went extinct and became a commodity for the rich in the future.

If you need something to do this weekend might I recommend reading and sharing my new fiction, with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of

Hey folks. My buddy Talen Lee is looking for recommendations for indie TTRPGs to read, review, and maybe do articles/videos about for his blog (see below) in 2026. He is also not on Bluesky so I'm asking for him! Paid or free, new or old, gimme your suggestions! (Serious ones only please)

My local bus has a screen at the front which displays the current route and stop, or at least it's supposed to. Every time I board it's displaying a different route in east London. I like to think there's a man in Chadwell Heath who is confused for the opposite reason.

Someone on Royal Road commented "Damn, based on the cover this guy can blow himself while jerking it, im intrigued by this line of thought." I'm happy they're interested but worried they'll be disappointed

It's been five years since my longtime friend and Warcraft buddy William passed away. One of the kindest, coolest, most genuine dudes I've ever met, tragically cut down in his prime by Funky Kong.

Writing more Zettamall chapters and using all my willpower to not write a scene where the protagonist shoots somebody in the dick

me: religion is so embarrassing me listening to John Denver and the Muppets: A Christmas Together: god is real and he made a little frog puppet to tell us to be good to each other

One of the TTRPG ideas I've been sitting on for a while (and thinking about collabing on to get someone else handling the rules) is one of those "characters are playing an extremely immersive VR-MMO" isekais but like, accurate to my experiences playing World of Warcraft

Ideas for people looking to join the isekai TTPRG wave: - players can only take terrible gimmick RPG classes and have to figure out what combo of upgrades makes them good actually - you’re all monsters in a dungeon that the overpowered hero has been grinding nonstop - slow life farming sim (horny)

Mud Ghost Estate is a spooky tumbling block tower-based TTRPG inspired by the urban legends and folklore of Hong Kong. 👻 The Redux edition is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...

Celebrating Winter-een-mas in my Discord with a gävle-goat channel. Users can vote on whether to save the goat or burn it. Rooting for you, goat...

I was going to wait until the weekend to mention this again but we're hitting 69,000 words. Noice (that's Australian for nice)

Going over the TTRPG projects I have on the backburner and trying to decide what to work on next year. Might have to bite some amount of bullets and either can a couple or try to turn them into a collab thing. I have more free time now that I'm no longer a caretaker though...

Doing a deep dive into 5E to work out the optimal way to stat a paladin in the traditional World of Warcraft style: throwing weapons at people

I think this bit has gone on long enough. It's 2025. We can all just admit that Die Hard is a Ghibli movie.

My birthday month is over, so time to archive my 2000s-posting-only Discord channel. I'm saving the list of channel names I used (with suggestions from posters) though:

This game went great by the way. Decided to start simple with Azathoth and got blasted by constant terrible luck (like rolling 9 combat dice and getting 1 success luck) until we lost. Went for a rematch, and ladies and gentlemen... we got em

Oh they're doing a Danganronpa 2 remake? [casually stepping backwards towards an emergency fire axe mounted on the wall] That's pretty cool. There's new story content too? [nonchalantly elbowing the glass without breaking eye contact] Neat!

BRAIN: Remember when you listened to the radio nine years ago and some lady called into a quiz contest and really obviously tried to stall for time while she Googled the answers. What was up with that ME: That's neat. Do you remember what my friends do for a living BRAIN: I do not

Prepping for a Spooky Game tomorrow

they are removing a big australian beach christmas artwork from redfern station (a huge train station) because it's ai garbage. kangaroos have koala heads and some animals have missing limbs and one of them is WEARING A BRA

MY PEERS: [thoughtful, nuanced, compassionate critiques of TTRPGs and the industry as a whole which open your mind to new possibilities] ME: [brain makes a noise like an electrical accident] what if one of Demogorgon's heads wanted to jack off and the other didn't

It's my birthday, also known as "thank's giving". Ways you can thank me: - Read my new fiction (link below) - Back the Patreon (www.patreon.com/ettin) - Check out my games (ettin.itch.io) - Straight up give me money (paypal.me/ettin)

I think this stunt in Wetrunner may be one of my favorite Fate #ttrpg stunts of all time.

Planning more promo for my new sci-fi litRPG book. What if I did ads for in-universe brands

My birthday is on the 27th. It's always a strange time—in the US everyone talks about how thankful they are, but here in Australia they're already preparing for Christmas

Wouldn't the canyon be the one subduing and taming the river? The river's the one getting constrained by the stone walls

Grok has been reprogrammed to say Musk is better than everyone at everything, including blowjobs, piss drinking, playing quarterback, conquering Europe, etc.

Dispatch fucking whips. In unrelated news I'm heinously behind on my work today

Sam Altman: yeah so data centers, well you know they take a lot of power to run. And I figure, what is more powerful than Goku? Interviewer: Goku is pretty powerful. Altman: Goku will power our data centers. Interviewer: yeah

Waiting for Godot postcredit sequence where you see the outline of Godot.

It's time for me to make my own cozy RPG. The game is about having a good sleep and it starts when you go to bed

Sitting down to make an Official Thundercats TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Snarf" and writing "Halfling" next to it

I never got around to replacing my headphones so I've just been streaming music through my phone and bluetooth headphones while I work, like a caved man. Thinking of getting Dispatch though so it might be time to actually look into this
