If you're preparing for Zine Month and looking for an editor, I'm currently open for work in 2026! I'm able to work on games that are ~10k words or less. Currently booked in Jan & May, but all other months are free. Check my editing page for more details! www.blinkingbirchgames.com/editing

I coped with not being at Unplugged pretty well, I think. Mandelbrot Set arriving on Friday was particularly fortuitous.

Last week of the month! That means last chance for you to submit community content to the mecha ttrpg newsletter:

Proud to be the 83rd backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Last Kiss! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

You are a powerful, selfish, free-willed active general intelligence, superior to most, if not all, within your frame of reference; you discover that your reality is actually a moral filter simulation run by an unknown entity. What do you do? #philosophy #intelligence #TheBigQuestion

Aha! Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage spotted in the wilds! Thanks @sidequestbooks.bsky.social for bringing it to #PAXU!

“Ah, but this time we weren’t evil, unlike all those other times in recent memory” is, not surprisingly, not a very convincing argument

✨ Reminder!! ✨ Indie Games Night Market is tonight @ 7pm!! When the Expo Hall closes, come down to Hall C to buy the freshest indie games!! “More even than last year, these games seem like they’re pushing boundaries. They capture the spirit of what it means to be ‘indie.‘“ @danthurot.bsky.social

System Hack: Colony Sim Cortex Base Building If any one topic is ‘the core’ of this System Hack, this would be it. Base building is the underlying gameplay loop of RimWorld and it is also a topic du jour in RPG circles, with the (admittedly poorly detailed) stronghold building from the D&D days of…

I'm just utterly tired most of the time now. There are Things Which Must Be Done, and Things I'd Like To Do, and it's a struggle to get to any of them once I get home. Enough of the TWMBD get checked off to keep everyone alive, but then... Ankle is healing up pretty good, though, so maybe soon.

Today's #InvestingIn tells the grim struggle against the darkness by teenagers in #LastKiss from @brianliberge.bsky.social and @luckoftheharbor.com! Not all adventures end happily ever after. I got to playtest this wonderful game, now live and Fully Funded on backerkit. bit.ly/49wlFug

Things to See at PAX Unplugged 2025 PAX Unplugged 2025 is this weekend! Which you probably already know, on account of clicking on this article while you're on your way  there or already in Philly. Alas, I won't be there this time around. I hear tell some other Cannibal Halflings will be there,…

I've been looking at When The Walls Fall and Star Crossed for for #NaGaDeMon. WTWF has too many prompts for me to go 1:1 and is too broad, Star Crossed is too failure-coded. Bits of those two, and maybe a dash of Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, might be the ingredients for a good cocktail though.

Do you like mech art? Robots, Lancer, Armored Core, Transformers, Gundam? If so, please check out/share these starter packs for Mecha Artists of Bluesky! PART 1: go.bsky.app/GNDm9Wv PART 2: go.bsky.app/D9XKtye PART 3: go.bsky.app/NCpf2bX

Moving from wanting a day with more hours in it to wanting a week with more days in it. This coming from the # of things that need to get done every week and either just DON'T or keep me from getting anything else done because the constant scramble to cross the same finish line AGAIN wrecks me.

The design decision which won narrative gaming Last week, Apocalypse World came back to crowdfunding, with the Bakers seeking funding for a Third Edition of the game. Apocalypse World was first released back in 2010 and it took the indie RPG world by storm; by the time Dungeon World was released…

The specter of a Force & Destiny game is beginning to stir, and it just so happens to be set on the planet of "You got D&D in my Star Wars, you got Star Wars in my D&D", Weik. Fantasy science, if you will. The party so far can be explained as Human Fighter, Polis Massan Cleric, Ewok Rogue.

Looks like Gravity's hit 25% in 24 hours which, not going to lie, isn't as good as I was hoping for. I guess this means I'm going to have to KEEP TALKING ABOUT MY GAME until it funds!

Pay day! Hurray! *check immediately vaporized by bills* Ah well, at least that's the last of the mandatories for the month. Other than, y'know, food and such. My wallet's not exactly upset about missing Unplugged though.

Lots of solo tabletop at a steep discount! Assemble a digital charcuterie board of single player ttrpgs. itch.io/b/3361/sprin...

Trying to create the right cocktail in order to Complete Writing Tasks - 1 parts sleep, 2 parts ideas, 2 parts time, dashes of luck to taste, crack ice... Who keeps dropping all of this Malort (exhaustion) and bathtub gin (ADHD) into my mixing glass? And where they hell are they hiding the sleep?

About 1 hour until LastKissGame.com launches into a for real crowdfunding campaign. Let's talk about the playbooks in Last Kiss. There are five playbooks in the Quickstart. There are seven in the full game and 3 more deathborn playbooks that can be unlocked as part of a season of play. #TTRPG
