Over the Holidays I've allowed myself time to actually sit and play video games. Over the last few years I just haven't gotten enjoyment in games beyond fast and simple like a team shooter or rogue-like. Sandbox games kind of ruined me. But playing Expedition 33 has cured me of that.

Dats me.

Sometimes you feel like a nut... Sometimes you dont.

Doing some TTRPG development stuff on stream. Come and hangout. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd3M...

Finished my read-through of Harrow the Blighted Plane by @undergroundoracle.com that uses the Cypher system by @montecookgames.com and posted a review on it! TLDR if a 13 min video is too long for you. I liked it a lot! lol youtu.be/Wyjo6uFN3oU

New Affinity software's UI/UX feels nice, and I can't wait to start using it. BUT... it's pretty dang buggy right now. There's a couple of serious issues they need to work out before I could use it on a professional project.

Doing a short stream to explore the new Affinity program and talking about using it to develop for TTRPG's (like I do within the Cypher system by @montecookgames.com ). Let's explore this new (FREE) version of Affinity together!

Holy crap, Canada Post actually delivered my new ALIEN rpg books! I mean.. it was supposed to be signed for and instead they just dropped it at my neighbours house instead of mine... and the package looks like it's seen a war. But that's still better than they usually do!

Ok, vacation is officially over. Time to get back to it! Thankfully my current project work is straight up Art right now! So it's something fun to get back into!

My books for the new Alien RPG shipped... to Canada Post. FUUUUUUUUUCK. Dear rpg companies. DO NOT ship via Canada Post. Its extra expensive, takes forever, they go on strike too often, and has a % chance it just doesn't show up. Please use literally ANY other shipping method.

This is legitimately an awesome setting. I LOVE the sandships, and it's got a unique vibe to it. Ill be doing an overview video on this once recover from this Jetlag.

Back from Japan (btw, I was in Japan). Imma give myself a week to recover from the 13 hour jetlag, then I have project work to finish, plus a BUNCH more videos and streams planned. Especially for @montecookgames.com products. I feel refreshed and ready to make some content here! (once recovered).

If you're thinking of buying that world of darkness bundle from @humblebundle.com , don't. It's a coupon for Renegade Game Studios website for the download, which has proved to be one of THE MOST frustrating experiences to actually get the books from. Their site is an absolute nightmare.

Like many homes, there were famous names we recognized in my household growing up. However, there were 5 in particular that really shaped me at the time and they weren't TV or movie celebrities. To: Anne McCaffrey, Mercedes Lackey, Piers Anthony, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein. I thank you.

Only 35 hours left in this crowdfunder. The world of Paksennarion was a big fantasy novel for me in my younger years, and I'd love to see it get more attention for a TTRPG. It's already funded, but hey, maybe we can hit a few more stretch goals? I'm not affiliated with them, just want to support.

The Cypher backer kit by @montecookgames.com isn't the only one I backed recently. I've been a huge fan of the Paksenarrion books for a long time, and there's an RPG. There's only a couple of days left, and they are VERY close to the stretch goal I want. Please consider backing it!

I dont know how @montecookgames.com backerkit has stayed in overtime for so freaking long. But it's only like 8k away from hitting 1mil. The deals were too good to pass up! You can still go back it now and get a TON of stuff out of it. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Ok, the Voidhome Kofi links have been updated. You can now all officially get a link to the living document that will be updated over time. Check your Kofi download area to get it! Voidhome is a sci-fi horror book for the Cypher TTRPG by @montecookgames.com

When my grandfather was teaching me to build stuff as a kid. He gave me this wonder advice to make sure your parts always fit, "Measure once, keep it a little too long, then cut it a bunch of fuckin times till it fits". lol. I know it's not the normal advice. But that stuck with me to this day.

This is it. The last few hours. If you don't mind digital only, for $90 you could get the digital all in that's basically EVERY CYPHER BOOK EVER! All the old (still compatible) ones, all the new ones, special decks, everything. Do you know HOW MANY books that is!? That's a steal and a half.

The current stretch goal is a whole ass character options book. Need... I need it. If you've been holding off on backing, now is the time. This crowdfunder has done VERY well, with so many goodies.

A buddy of mine is selling off some books on this interesting platform I've never seen before. Worth checking out! whatnot.com/s/wD1Ifzf2

Like 24 backers needed to unlock the new Predation book stretch goal for @montecookgames.com . I want cybernetic dinosaurs with eyes lasers please. EYE LASERS!!! Back it now. EYE LASER DINOSAURS! And it's not even the viking age. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Love seeing all these tables with all these players during CypherCon by @cypherunlimited.bsky.social and @montecookgames.com . Both new and old stuff, public and private. Even a few games run by designers like Sean. Lots' going on!

Tonight at 7:30 PM I'll be doing a live streamed game on behalf of @montecookgames.com and @cypherunlimited.bsky.social for this years CypherCon! Plus more info about the con. YouTube: www.youtube.com/qedhup Twitch: www.twitch.tv/qedhup MCG's Anywhere Door: www.moonbeam.stream/Monte%20Cook...

We NEED to get to the next stretch goal for the Cypher Backerkit... NEED!! A new revised version of the Predation setting? Oh... oh yes. If you haven't backed it yet, you'll want to do so. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Proud to be the 170th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for The World of Paksenarrion (Relaunch)! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

That pretty much sums up my feelings.

Tomorrow starting at 11am PDT I'm doing a Reddit AMA (ask me anything) about Cypher and its crowdfunder. Here's the link! www.reddit.com/r/cyphersyst...

Oh I know, I'll probably get responses of, "you're dumb and wrong". But I'll say it anyways. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is not only solid TV, but quite possibly my favourite Star Trek series. Yes, even beating out TNG and DS9 (barely). The writing, the acting. I like it.

What's this? Working on Voidhome stuff. But not the Cypher version (which is almost done). But my own stand-alone system. Something I've always wanted to polish off. Join me at my Youtube or Twitch (links at linktr.ee/qedhup ).

The main rules of Voidhome are fully done in the printer-friendly version of the book! Just gotta get the Character stuff, GM section, and lists (Cyphers, Artifacts, Abilities). Getting close!

CypherCon by @cypherunlimited.bsky.social and @montecookgames.com is happening soon! Spots at the game tables are quickly running out. Check out this video for more details. www.youtube.com/watch?v=A51R...

Just a quick response and review of the new backerkit for the next edition of Cypher by @montecookgames.com and how much I'm excited for it! (you can hear it in my voice lol) www.youtube.com/watch?v=oweI...

The new edition of the Cypher System, now just called Cypher is live on backerkit! They've been reworking the content to make it easier and faster to run, making it one of the most organized universal ttrpg out there. I'm excited! Let's go! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

Why... why did I make SO MANY TABLES in Voidhome. They're a pain to fill out! lol.

Daggerheart has become one of my fav ttrpgs now. Cypher still easily tops my favs for numerous reasons, most of all being how easy it is to both run and design for. But hot dang, Daggerheart came out of no where to possibly be 2nd on my list. Ive mixed elements of each game into the other now.

I'm live doing Voidhome and Cypher stuff. Come and join me on Twitch, Youtube, or Moonbeam! Links at linktr.ee/qedhup

What do you think. Am I prepping for the apocalypse, or just spraying a finish on some doors?

RIP dark one. You're comin home for the last time. Ozzy, you are a legend forever.

A great game. I'm actually in the credits for it actually, for my feedback and near constant harassment towards Taron, lol. It's worth picking up.

Finally making my bedroom doors. Shop isn't organized yet, so needed to spread out to the drive way. Thankfully it's a beautiful day to blast some tunes and rip some wood.

Literally as I'm driving home from the theatre from watching Superman, my spotify playlist decides "Kryptonite" is the first song to play. Didn't even choose it.

We all know the Season 1 intro to Dandadan was probably one of the most banger intros to an anime ever. Just watched the Season 2 intro and... I mean it's alright I guess. But I think they would have been better off using the original custom made song by Creepy Nuts with new graphics.

Whether you love the system or not. Numenera by @montecookgames.com is one of the greatest TTRPG settings ever made. It's like no others, and it would work SO WELL for a number of systems as well as it's own. You got like a day left, get the humble bundle now! www.humblebundle.com/books/numene...

My fourth blogpost about Voidhome (a modified version of the Cypher System by @montecookgames.com ) is up. This time I talk about the relative difference in power and balance for gameplay in Voidhome. ko-fi.com/post/Voidhom...

My third blog post about my Voidhome TTRPG is up. This time I talk about the initiative system (or rather, lack of one), that we've been testing out for the past 1.5+ years. So far many existing Cypher players have really liked it. ko-fi.com/post/Voidhom...

New Voidhome TTRPG blog post. This one is about the shift in the primary resolution mechanic from regular Cypher to my Cypher-6 mechanic. Remember, it's not better than the normal one, it's just different. @montecookgames.com made an amazing game. I'm just customizing it for my specific purpose.

CypherCon takes place in September, but the last week for GM signups is THIS week! Still want to tell a story along side the people from @montecookgames.com and @cypherunlimited.bsky.social ? Sign up now at: discord.gg/fUyNkfy
