We playtested "Teenage Ninja Fighting School" by @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social and it was pretty great - it uses card decks in a really clever way for fight scenes! I am really curious to see the final game developed. 🥷🏻🥷🏻

A big thing on my bucket list was to have books of mine sold by IPR! Really grateful for the team that makes this dream available for myself and others. Happy 20th, IPR! Here is to 20 more.

recently re-read Child of Fire by Harry Connolly something like more than twelve years after I first read it. Great book and it makes me want to re-read the next two Del Rey published, and then the stuff Connolly published on his own after

One of my favorite novels (The Way into Chaos)

“No Politics” is always a red flag, even when defending your tabletop business

Started in my basement! My how you've grown.

Went to #Metatopia last weekend, and ran my shonen anime emulator Teenage Ninja Fighting School. It went great! Really successful playtest on some very fresh rules (two weeks of development).

Just finished re-alphabetizing my game collection after the move (two years ago). I had just unpacked boxes without organizing anything, so this is a huge improvement in me being able to find anything.

I'm so proud of this piece. I really hope it inspires people who are being mistreated in the industry to speak out Journalism is an act of service to our communities. I'm so grateful to everyone who trusted me to handle their experience with care. Any future tips can be sent to [email protected]

I have just released the first episode of the #RPGDesignPanelcast from Metatopia 2023 with @brennanrtaylor.bsky.social @metaparadox.bsky.social Jennifer Adcock and myself where we discussed how todevelop and use relationship webs in games, both in tabletop rpgs & larps.

One of the first lessons we teach in our GM101 sessions is the “Describe, Listen, Judge” cycle. DLJ is a comprehensive framework for understanding what a GM does, and a tool that helps diagnose and correct hiccups and miscommunication at the level of play. Let's break them down🧵

Oh, man, I'm reading The Iron Gate by @byharryconnolly.bsky.social and it is so damn good. One of the few books that I've really had to work at putting down so I can sleep.

Thousand Arrows: Killers in the Western Paradise was the gaming highlight of my Big Bad Con this year. Here's what went down when the Tokugawa Shōgun sent Yasuke, Hasekura Tsunenaga, Julia Ota, Hattori Masahirō, and Miyamoto Musashi to hunt down a rogue Catholic warlord in Rome, Italy. 1/21

I've been reminded to make some noise. :) METATOPIA is our Game Design Festival for people who are passionate about the design, publishing, selling, or playing games of all types. METATOPIA 2023 is Nov 2 - 5 in Morristown, NJ. dexposure.com/m2023.html
