Tired: "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!" Wired:

Does anyone go to a 3D movie on purpose these days, or do they solely exist to make you pay extra if they're the only time slot that works for you?

Adding this to the list of touchstones for the game I'm working on.

Packing my suitcase today! Call dibs on anything not Final Fantasy so I can bring it for you haha

I have become the type of guy who reviews books on my local library's online catalogue.

If I was cast as the Riddler in anything I would thereafter respond to all interview question with a dogshit impression of the Riddler. Grinch fingers, spinning chair, "wwWOULDn't YOU like to know?"

Why would you use AI art in your RPG when you can simply take images from an illuminated manuscript?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Came up with an idea for an RPG playbook/class called The Kingfisher so now I have to make a game for it to go in.

No context 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple spoiler: My only complaint is they cut out the guitar solo.

We are an MLIS capstone team working with the GAMER Group at the University of Washington seeking input on how TTRPG players find games, or want to find games. If you are a TTRPG player, designer, or both, please consider taking our research survey: uwashington.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

one hope is have for 2026 is that more folks join Paper Cult Club, an indie tabletop-focused forum i truly adore papercult.club

One of my favorite podcasts is talking about Tolkien! Guess it's time for another reread.

2025 art summary I got more done than I thought despite various medical woes 💪 The bright blue in June was for a local music festival poster haha

I need everyone to make a shitpost game that fits into at most 3 posts on here before the end of the year otherwise thr sun will not rise again

The Quiet Apartment: play The Quiet Year but the map is the layout of your apartment. The Frost Shepherds are your landlord.

Celebrating a very important occasion today: I finally won Whammageddon!

I will not buy a game made with AI. There is no amount of anticipation I could have that will not immediately sour if I found out the game was made using AI.

Here's my dragon game hot take of the day: put classes before ancestries in your books. It's the thing that most significantly defines your character mechanically, and in my experience it's what everyone decides on first.

Apocalypse World is profoundly important work. It has shaped the landscape of roleplaying games for over a decade, and with this third edition, I'm sure it'll continue to shape it for a decade more. Clever, gripping, and human. There's still a few hours to snag your kickstarter copy!

This. When people talk about art that altered your brain chemistry, I think of this concept art from Morrowind.

Home for the holidays

The Sopranos is a masterpiece.

This Thursday at 6pm GMT I'm giving a lecture with the wonderful @archaeoplays.bsky.social about how to conceive and build living images of the past. All the in-person tickets have been snapped up, but you can still watch online for free (I think via Zoom) www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/carved-in-...

"So what do you do, just read books all day?"

Carved in Stone: Columba of Iona, Oswald of Northumbria and their relics.

What if big fantasy adventure rgp but instead of large hardcover book it's a pile of zines?

Finally stumbled into seeing the AI coke christmas ad, and I feel like it's not a good idea for a beverage company to make commercials that make you feel nauseous. Just a little advice for all my marketing exec followers.

Prepping for the next adventure of the playtest campaign < Developing an elaborate metanarrative in which the game is written by a character in the setting based on pseudo-historical events.

Last repost: This is genuinely looks like a really cool way to make dungeon maps! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tab...

From dungeon master to D&D entrepreneur:

I've worked in libraries for years now, but it's still wild to me that if my local library doesn't have a book I want to read, I can ask and they will find and mail a copy to my local branch, at no cost to me. I'm reading a comic right now that had to get on a boat to get to me.

This is such a cool idea, and the book looks great! Very excited to pick up a copy when I have the money to spare.

Biomechanical mech that grows armor like lobsters grow shells. The armor gets thicker over time until it sheds and grows new armor, becoming lighter but less well defended while it regrow. It grows larger with each shedding, eventually becoming too heavy to operate outside of zero-G environments.

Currently in my Blades in the Dark campaign: The crew is trying to frame the Chief of Operations of the Ministry of Preservation for the assassination of the Chief Commissioner of the City Watch (which one of the crew committed).

This looks very cool, would love to see how it turns out!

I'm reading Titus Groan and loving all these Gormenghast weirdos. My first thought was 'these people are Muppets' and my second thought was 'these people are @notquitereal.bsky.social characters' and I think both are accurate.

Ghosts are real. This much I know. 🕯️

People think the hardest part of singlehood is how much more expensive things like rent and holidays are, or no go-to partner to do life with, but they're wrong. It's not having someone to compare your wealth with in bed so that you've an excuse to steal a big bull and wage war on the men of Ulster

The joys of prepping a Blades score that takes place during a party: looking through the faction list to pick out the cool/awful people who will be there.

My second favourite Elder Scrolls game is the one I imagined while reading online walkthroughs of every quest in Oblivion because I didn't have a console or pc that could play it. (My favourite Elder Scrolls game is Morrowind.)
