Help @unenthuser.bsky.social and I reach 300 Followers before the OB Month launch tomorrow!!

I'm sure it wasn't the plan initially, but @possibleworlds.bsky.social launching Realis the same day as the launch of the first manned moon mission in over 50 years feels like cosmically-perfect cross-promo. 2026 is the Year of the Moon(s).

Realis—the debut TTRPG by @austinwalker.bsky.social—arrives this Wednesday, April 1 (no foolin') in a Kickstarter campaign that will run til the end of the month!

Played Root. Won. The Alliance reigns supreme!

Some of the small spot illustrations by Eric Fraser that accompanied the Radio Times magazine’s weekly listings for the BBC’s 1981 radio adaptation of Tolkein’s “The Lord Of The Rings”.

Just submitted my first WIP project to The Meat Grinder 2.0! It's my 200X road trip game, 1,000 Miles from Home - a Lasers & Feelings hack using real maps/locations and a timer to simulate sitting in the car as your characters for lengths of drive time. Hoping to playtest in the coming weeks!

As a lover of games like Primal Quest, I'm really interested in checking this one out. This is an underutilized and underserved TTRPG subgenre - Be a weird caveman! Do weird shit!

Coming in just a few days, join me for Orbital Blues Month 2026! I'm launching a jazz-fueled, planet-hopping missing person adventure called "Jupiter in Eb Minor" (read "E Flat" as in the musical term). Hope to see you there! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

I have the rules done for the playtest! Just going to write out the location info for the three towns and two routes and get a time scheduled.

Fragile is so cool.

You KNOW I'm at the Friday night 16mm screening of Salty (1973) starting Clint Howard!

ACCEPT / DECLINE are the only options he's given you, but surely you're clever enough to find another way out, right? Stranger Still is a gothic horror ending collection VN about a conversation over a suspicious dinner with a stranger. k-ramstack.itch.io/stranger-still #IndieGames #VisualNovels

If you want to FIGHT bug aliens, consider Firedrop, by @meatcastlegameware.com. A spin on Helldivers, this 28 page zine pits you against superfleas, this game is great for folks who love moving little guys across a hex grid.

I can have a weekend speed design, as a treat.

hello gamers I have a new blogpost up, a review of a massive $4m Kickstarter third-party 5e adventure based on an AP, called THE CROOKED MOON. it's a big old honkin review, talking about info design and 5e creative direction and folk horror. I hope you enjoy! samsorensen.blot.im/review-the-c...

Here's a quick-n-dirty State of the Meat where I go over my upcoming project list and explain where things are at now and where I'm working to get them in the future. Also, I chat a bit about the future of the Missives (or lack thereof). Check it out: meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/3/...

I got to play this with Games on Demand at GenCon a few years back, and it rocked. I had never heard of it and had no idea the Bakers were involved. Since then, I've heard so many folks talk about how much they love it and how it inspired their own designs. Another semi-hidden banger.

There's something so insidious to me about how 5e books like this feed into and rely on content consumption culture. Everything must be reference, nothing too original, so as to act as both a reward for those who have consumed and as a call for those who have not to consume more - and right away.

"Frankly, this sounds so dope." - my friend Tom. I'm considering building out a Pallet Town -> Viridian City quickstart to playtest this with my home group soon, but first, I have a few more core mechanics to sort out: meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/3/...

Thought about it long enough in the shower that I had to write a blog about how I'd design a Pokemon TTRPG if I was gonna make one (which if Nintendo is reading this, I'm absolutely not going to do): meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/3/...

Roguelike TTRPGs is such a weird ouroboros of game across the last 5+ decades. Reminds me of this (not necessarily in a bad way).

🚨 IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE WRENCH IS NOW LIVE!🚨 My new GMless, diceless game of stormy night murder mystery is currently funding on Backerkit and I'd love your support! Back it here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

Pay a vial of tears shed from the loss of a dear friend, and she will guide your way through the Violet Way. Her Skull of St. Rathis lantern casting its pale green light across the path.

Just doing some casual gaming tonight

Look, we talk a lot about how modern food would kill a Victorian child, but I genuinely think a lot of modern folks would die if they ate a honeyed date. They are so good - a humankind classic from the EARLY years.

Insta-buy for me

a perfectly toasted marshmallow of a cat

Finally, more Canadian Violence!

Very bummed to have missed BreakoutCon. By this time next year, I should finally be settled in with all our international adventure stuff and should be able to go. Dying to see my fun internet friends!

You can have a beautiful brown Betty, as a treat

Only one delivery in, but Death Stranding 2 is already hitting me. Great opening, looks amazing, wonderful music, etc. Hard to think of many games with this many crazy/cool ideas per minute. Forgot how much I love the batshittiness and earnestness of it all.

I don't mention a ton about it over here, but The Meat Grinder is still rolling along. Diving into my group's newest submission now!

I'm still so conflicted on whether or not I want to pick up/play Marathon.

It is finally time.

For #Caturday: a poignant photo by Paul Koudounaris of a beloved pet's tombstone. Despite popular belief, the cat's name was not Dewey. This was the surname of the cat's family. "'He was only a cat,' but he was human enough to be a great comfort in hours of loneliness and pain."

Wow, this book rocks. I've been missing Over/Under a lot recently so it's been fun to visit a new, very big corner of the Dream as I do a bit of proofreading on this.

The *last* lost episode. We did it, folks.

Several times a week I think: - Should I be learning how to make a video game? - Should I be making Youtube videos instead of blogging (or videos of my blogs)? Still not sure on either!

I'm running some games at a local convention next month. I'm already planning to run Mothership, but what else should I be considering? It's a general nerd con so most folks will only know 5e, if any TTRPGs at all! What's a game you would have wanted an early (and free) chance to play?

How are card game makers writing cards? Like you just got a big Google doc? An Excel Sheet? Obsidian or something weird?

Call me old-fashioned, but I don't think the Cyberpunk TCG should be on Kickstarter.

I did it! Himbo Tactics zine is real!
