Instead of RPG discourse, why not draw an animal on a skateboard instead?

Pick six things by indie developers you have been meaning to buy (ttrpg, video game, novels whatever). Roll a d6. Ignore the die roll and buy all six. Hard mode. Pick twelve works etc and so on.

I always tell students if you ask a good question the article will write itself

wait a minute how are the "your body has gone soft from not eating the raw meats of your ancestors" guys also the "the computer should summarize the big scary email for your inadequate brain" guys

The Jengabus is coming And everybody's jumping Their motion shakes the table And makes the tower unstable We need a different approach To playing games on this coach Avoid egregious wobble By maybe trying Dobble

talking about this in the dice exploder discord but kinda interested in what the rabble thinks from a TTRPG perspective, what is the difference between a mechanic and a rule and do we actually care about that difference?

I wrote something about probabilities and dice. I misused some terminology, come at me, maths nerds. www.gizmowidget.uk/blog/compari...

I made a thing. It's.... real dumb, but it made me laugh. gizmowidget.itch.io/the-three-wo...

following a star ✅ getting pregnant from a non terrestrial life form ✅ a virgin mother ✅ in space nobody can hear you scream = silent night alien is a nativity story

I've been working my way through the @diceexploder.com podcast back catalogue and reading electric bastionland @bastionland.bsky.social so maybe this is just free associating what's top of my mind, but my hot take is that the failed careers are both playbooks and also a lyric game.

I love this meme. We don't use it often enough. Let's bring this one back.

I wrote a thing. It's a game where you are scholars submitting papers to a journal. It's an asynchronous collaborative story telling game. gizmowidget.itch.io/proceedings

Caligula's unorthodox style raises eyebrows among some liberal Romans. -New York Times, 39 AD

Turn this into a random table for your next RPG campaign.

I'm going to make a character name generator but it's going to be very stupid and complex. Like, I'm planning at least five dice tables, probably more.

The Tyrant Philosophers setting (by @aptshadow.bsky.social ) feels like it's crying out for a TTRPG adaptation.

As November approaches, never forget that the BBC pinned a poppy on Cookie Monster. "YPRES MAKE COOKIE MONSTER SAD. NO COOKIES AT SOMME."

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull” First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided. With me so far? 1/x

I have adopted a pet bee in #OVER/UNDER. I love this game.

I am enjoying being tangentially involved in #OVER/UNDER but what I'm really looking forward to is the detailed postmortem of all the things that were happening that I wasn't even aware of.

Who is bankrolling the octonauts. We need answers.

Woo. Just submitted this stupid thing to a Game Jam. gizmowidget.itch.io/im-going-to-...

The #Over/Under teamsters are collaborating on doing a jigsaw puzzle of a circuit board.

Okay I'm just gonna start posting wild shit I'm seeing in #OVER/UNDER (public facing stuff only). First: they set up a fucking casino??

Setting up to play No Thank You Evil with The Boy. Meet Gerald the Astronaut and Kickpunch McFighterson the Fighter.

Oh yeah, that reminds me, I should buy Little Rocket Lab.

This looks absurdly ambitious and I am here for it.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Bollocks

Eve online ttrpg which is literally just spreadsheets.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only KATAMARI DAMACY

I need this to hit the stretch goal for solo rules, because I have no friends.

If you love worldbuilding, What's My Foundation is the greatest creative guide book I've come across. It's not a source book. It's not random tables. It's genuine advice, prompts, and direction to guide you to making your own world www.kickstarter.com/projects/bab...

Woo. I'm the first person to purchase this.

Time to play Amazing Tales with my son. (It's mostly drawing maps)
