Going to do a Rapture sale on my solo games tomorrow considering

If any retailers want copies of Cthulhu Dark, Cosmic Dark or Stealing Cthulhu, this would be a really good time to tell me how many you'd like.

Today is #HobbitDay because both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway come and boromir #Tolkien books.

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

One of the important secrets to freelance tabletop success no one talks about? Find a way to get to know multiple people who hire (publishers, editors, developers), well enough they know and use your first name in a friendly manner. No, I don't know how. But it is a HUGE help. #RealGameIndustry

In Danish, if something was extremely boring you could say det var dødens pølse. It means “that was the sausage of death.”

While we're on the subject of Nordic sausage-themed expressions... A Finnish term for something that is certain to succeed is varma nakki, meaning “sure wiener.” A name for a simple task is helppo nakki, or “easy wiener.” And a difficult or unpleasant task is paska nakki. It means “shit wiener.”

In Swedish, a word for what you eat to bridge the gap between meals (or while waiting for the main course to cook) is stödmacka. It means "support sandwich." A similar word in Norwegian is ventepølse, or "waiting sausage."

Game designers should be designing mechanics that don’t just match the theme of their games but also automatically rewards the right behaviors to create the gameplay loop that they want.

As someone who sells things I created, I can absolutely say that this is a good time to buy a game from me with the money you're no longer spending on Paramount+, Max or Disney+. :) www.adastragames.com

As today had *the* good weather forecast, I took a trip over to Lincoln and had a wander round. Of course the main attraction is the cathedral. I hope I look as good when I’m 800+! It’s a place that repays an eye for detail.

Ah, Word - having stopped taking the 365 sub - has now decided there is no sub. Bet it tries to force sub restart with the AI version too. We are professional software.

Finished The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. Good stuff, and a first novel too. Modern fantasy. A godlike being abducts a group of children to be his apprentices in various fields. From there, multiple turns as we uncover what’s going on. Think I’ve seen it in at least one rpg biblio.

Should be fun and insightful, a few of us have converted and run Sarah's system agnostic Darkened Hill & Dale scenarios. They are wonderful and we have all pondered how you go about writing something without a specific system in mind... now we'll find out! Link in my bio, then look under Events.

Just saw a comment on a YT clip from Highlander, referring to not fighting on consummated ground. hashtag wordsaretrickybeasts

Home again from The Owlbear and Wizard’s Staff day 2. #OBaWS Played Wildsea for the first time, with @icooper.bsky.social - much weirdness around our bar in the skeleton of a leviathan. Then chatting and minor challenges with trains.

Session 1 underway at #OBaWS - thank you for supporting the con @chaosium.bsky.social @allrolledup.bsky.social

Day one of #OBaWS in the bag - played Runequest with @dracowie.bsky.social at the helm, and ran @evilhat.bsky.social Deathmatch Island is its backstabby, betrayal-laden one-shot format. Excellent fun and hat tip to @matthewbroome.bsky.social for making it all happen!

Is there any lunch available at the venue today? #OBaWS Or I’ll hunt a sandwich on the way up.

Today at the Owlbear and Wizard’s Staff convention in Leamington Spa; first time visiting. Played Runequest with @dracowie.bsky.social, with a motley crew following a treasure map. And Triangle Agency with @druggeddwarf.bsky.social, making sense of a local threat to reality. Good stuff. #OBaWS

I guess I need to update my resume.

Pet parrots which typically live alone (whilst those in the wild live in large flocks) were given the technology to call each other. They would use it for up to three hours a day, and developed favourite friends 💔 on.ft.com/3K05vhS
