We're so glad to welcome @becomecharity.org.uk to Jingle Jam for the very first time. Become exists to help every child and young person with experience of the care system in England to get the support they need and deserve.

The countdown to Scribbler Hug 2025 begins! I'm very excited to once again be partnering with Become UK for their big community Jingle Jam event! Catch me and other amazing "Become Players" from 1-14 December. If you'd like to join the community, sign up here: share.google/htoMtjBHnYAW...

Ever go back and read something you wrote...and actually still love it?? 😲 Anyhoo, Bard RPG is still selling over at IPR! 💜 www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Bard-R...

LOL. Remember this? Yeah...we never went back to the US. We're setting our roots down in the EU 🐸 🇪🇺

One bright spark of inspiration was a message from the lovely Will from Become UK (longtime charity partner). I'm honored to be supporting their big Jingle Jam charity event this year, from 1-14 Dec🎄 I'll be writing a brand adventure just for the occasion! Event details coming soon 💜

Time to resurface again 💜 I very nearly deleted all my social media, utterly burnt out for reasons I hope I'll be able to share soon. With the current state of the world, it's easy to lose the inspiration to create. But now, I'm eager to reconnect with you lovely souls. Anyone fancy a group hug?

Indie #ttrpgs donated to my local library this morning include Animon Story by @zakbfree.bsky.social, Wyrmlings by @lonecolossusgames.bsky.social, The Geologist’s Primer by @doubleproficiency.com, Bard RPG by @scrivthebard.bsky.social, and Kids on Brooms by @huntersent.bsky.social.

DELTARUNE DELTARUNE DELTARUNE ...yes, I am breaking my silence to shout this to the expanse because I am THAT HYPED.

SCRIBBLERS!!! If you haven't backed InfiniBrix yet, what are you even doin'? This game has been a long time in the making and I cannot WAIT to play it with baby bardling one day. LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!! InfiniBrix: Dream it, Build it, PLAY it!, via @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/sta...

Ran Michael's upcoming building block game Infinibrix yesterday. Watching adults turn into kids again is spectacularly fun, especially when they hit the exploding dice mechanics! www.luckoflegends.com/infinibrix

Serious FOMO over missing InfiniBrix at SXSWedu!! If you're heading out there in March, be sure to check it out! This one's going to be a total game-changer 👀

I didn't tag @wranglerofchaos.bsky.social in my previous post because I couldn't find the tag T_T BUT CHECK OUT THE ZINE ANYWAY SCRIBBLERS!!

Y'ALL LIKE WORLDBUILDING?? @tatteredbear.bsky.social fam Jaclyn launched their zine & it's smashing through stretch goals! I've had the honor of working with Jaclyn on this guide & the way queer identity is explored through worldbuilding is just *chef's kiss* www.kickstarter.com/projects/jan...

A thread explaining this fucked up situation and our need for additional help. Need at least £600 I know it's a lot, I'm so sorry #MutualAid #Urgent #MutualAidRequest #HelpSky #HelpFolksLive2025 #Disabled #DisabilitySky 💸💕 ♿️

This month, I'll be highlighting games full of friendship, and we're kicking off with Wyrmlings by @lonecolossusgames.bsky.social! Friendship is a bit factor in Wyrmlings, helping the group come together and making sure that everyone shines! Find my review here: www.ttrpgkids.com/2023/03/30/r...

2025 is my year for new growth/inspiration... So I've joined @efafreelancers.bsky.social! I've learned so much to complement my existing work in the indie games industry and I highly encourage all of my writer/editor fam to check it out. Read more at scrivthebard.com/2025/02/02/e...

The dayjob is relocating us to the US... ...my non-American partner's visa was denied under dubious circumstances. We're working through some options now but, I might be looking for new employment soon and it sure as hell won't be in the U.S. Shiiiiiit.

Super pleased that Bard RPG has sold well post-KS!! So well that I get to pay taxes on it 😬 Anyhoo, the restock is en route to @indiepress.bsky.social and will be available for purchase soon!! Y'all really like those hardcovers 💜 search.app/XfYuqSzTCTP6...

After years of attempting to revive my website, it's finally ready to go! Introducing the latest scrivthebard.com New year, new look, new exciting stories to explore!

Anyone interested in a small world building exercise? We need a cozy escape from chaos. Would anyone like to build a treehouse commune with me? I'm imagining a huge, ancient tree, with connected dwellings nestled in its boughs. What would you build? I'd like a kitchen...gotta keep people fed!

Finally feeling like the flu's out of my system!! Got some writing to do...Chill Creation next Tues maybe? 🧐

Y'all, that was the sickest I've been since COVID. It was just the flu, thankfully, but I've been WIPED out. Keep healthy out there, Scribblers. Chilly season isn't over yet :(

Due to unexpected illness, I'll have to cancel the Scribbler Hug streams this year 😭 But I still ask that you check out the missions of Become and War Child and donate if you are able!!

I am one very happy bunny!! Another creator copy to add to the shelf So unbelievably proud of this, @scrivthebard.bsky.social, and the entire Bard RPG team. We freaking rock. #TTRPG

Omgosh so fun to revisit this world with the Riftling Researchers! Giant Skreegulls and Crocodillos and Floatapusses and the strange mystery of Shell Island and Mayor Madrigal and the Conch resort and Vushyin legends and Glimmersquid and … … y’all, every arc is gold. Come through!!!

First thing I'm excited for: Recording a new Riflings episode with @luckoflegends.bsky.social @classicalglaiza.bsky.social and @almostbedtime.bsky.social !!!! If you haven't listened to the Stories RPG podcast yet, you're missing out on the best All-Ages AP out there 😉 www.storiesrpg.com/episodes

So between baby bardling and I both getting hit with some seasonal ick...streaming was a bust this week 🤧 Guess I'll have to just share updates here!!

No stream tonight, but back at it tomorrow for Chill Creation! Gonna do some good ol' world building with a return to Outpost 5 🤠

Y'all know how passionate I am about All-Ages gaming & activities that bring the generations together. @luckoflegends.bsky.social has been a huge force in the All-Ages & educational gaming world for years... Infinibrix is gonna be a game-changer! Drop him a follow & don't miss the updates!

So I recently had a "shoot my shot" moment, and reached out to a creator I admire, whose work I've found incredibly inspirational for my writing and world building. I asked if they'd like to Collab...they said yes!! More to come on Thursday's Chill Creation stream. Saddle up, Scribblers 🤠

Streaming yesterday felt great, and I was pleased to wake up this morning still feeling motivated and inspired. Guess I just needed to hang with y'all to recharge my creative batteries! I'll go live again next Thursday, with some Chill Creation and Scribbler Hug prep!!

We're LIVE!!! Got my tea, time for a long overdue catch-up 💜 www.twitch.tv/scrivthebard

It's almost time!! Getting all set up...see y'all soon 😉 ☕

Homecoming stream tomorrow at 6.30pm GMT/1.30pm EST! Gonna do a bit of gaming, maybe some chill creation...and introduce this year's Scribbler Hug event!! Get your snaccos ready 💜

For maximum winter coziness... I'm trying to decide on a "comfort food" game to stream: Potion Craft or Skyrim? 🤔

Gonna brush off the cobwebs and fire up the stream on Thursday!! Join me at twitch.tv/scrivthebard for some hot tea and cozy games ☕

Our first look at @scrivthebard.bsky.social and her companion Cecily. Note how Cecily (on the left) has port-wine stains. This was to represent my good friend @culliope.bsky.social’s daughter in INSPIRISLES. One of the big highlights of our journey so far.

What am I thankful for? Having amazing adventures with our friends! With InfiniBrix, we use our favorite characters to create wild and zany stories together... memories to last a lifetime! Check out InfiniBrix.com for more!

Apropos of cozy games ... Posted a video for students in a class using my ttrpg for teaching writing, Luna Uni - a sci-fi utopia with no money, jail, war, or crime. Explains why I make games where violence isn't a solution ... here you go! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG73...

Hi, I'm Michael - I teach with games and make games that teach. I created StoriesRPG.com, run LuckOfLegends.com, , and am working on infinibrix.com. I'll be presenting on my classroom TTRPG with 100% score gains in test classes at SXSW EDU this spring. Cheers!

Heyoooooo! Food: Lumpiaaaaa Season: Springtime new beginnings 🌸 Drink: a nice peaty whisky Colours: Orange, Green, or Red Anime: Got Kaiju #8 on the brain! @artofarklin.bsky.social @almostbedtime.bsky.social @classicalglaiza.bsky.social @jenkhankins.bsky.social @jennpeig.bsky.social

Speaking of Twitch... I'm making a return to streaming!!!! Homecoming Hangout coming soon! Featuring some classic Chill Creation and maybe even some cozy gaming ☕ It's been real quiet over there, but twitch.tv/scrivthebard is still kickin'!

Woah, hello new friends!! Had quite a few new followers lately, so I suppose a new intro is in order...

more from the above list: @deernicorn.bsky.social @wranglerofchaos.bsky.social @mallenhall.com @scrivthebard.bsky.social @snowbrightstudio.bsky.social @wetinkgames.bsky.social I hope this helps you find some cool people on Bluesky and helps with ordering awesome TTRPGs before the holidays!

this game is sooooo fun and if you want to see it in action, check out our series, Shades of the West!!!

So excited to see this getting out into the wild, and cannot wait for my copy to arrive, working on this with Scriv and the rest of the team was so much fun Much excite. Many adventure. Go get your copy!! #TTRPG

Stories shape us. Woven from shared memories & dreams, they are the fabric of humanity that continues to inspire. In #BardRPG, you explore your unique Archetypal role, weave together Story Threads, and reveal a new story all your own. All-ages. Genre-Agnostic. Available at IPR & Tattered Bear 🔥

I'm officially, finally, leaving Twitter. Blue sky and Insta/Threads are now where I'll be posting all my updates 🦋 Speaking of updates, life has been NUTS over the past few months. Finally feeling the ground beneath my feet again & excited for new adventures! Heck, might even stream again!?
