So, you know we've a new print mag out in a hot minute but that also means we can finally spend some time on our new website too Kicking things off @macreadymusings.bsky.social speaks to @andrewgillis.bsky.social about Girl By Moonlight (@evilhat.bsky.social), hope, transcendence & transformation

Here's a piece that means a lot to me. I spoke to @andrewgillis.bsky.social to discuss Girl By Moonlight, their Magical Girl RPG (published by @evilhat.bsky.social). The game is full of magic, heartbreak, and bittersweet hope. Massive thanks to @wyrdscience.bsky.social for publishing this.

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

Luke has a keen eye for historical RPGs, and writes beautiful prose to go along with them. Harvest is a rich, bloody, and evocative text. If you're into belonging outside belonging/no dice no masters games, then you should definitely play this and see how Luke is playing with the format.

You should try Harvest by my friend @wildwoodsgames.bsky.social It's folk gothic, no dice no masters The game has excellent pace and momentum driving towards a bloody sacrifice! www.rascal.news/harvest-is-a...

Training for my inevitable duel with Aaron.

Reminder I have a new game out! Play blackjack to try and get home safe, even knowing the game is rigged against you. And hey, if you die you still get to play as a ghost and haunt someone who's still alive, looking at their cards and whispering advice to them.

Someone should go to this Vancouver Game Garden event with me.

I played @ckunzelman.bsky.social 's Glassy Eye today, and recorded it. I had a good time contemplating the life and death of various ocean creatures. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jkp2...

Crucially, censorship makes it harder to maintain boundaries, as the censored need to remove tagging and other roadsigns around their work to allow it to exist. Censorship actually just means that people will encounter the same work unexpectedly.

I'm going to play this sad game right now! Come watch me and maybe discuss the game when I'm done. twitch.tv/actualfactual

I spent a bit more than 2 minutes because I wrote a couple paragraphs about exactly why I do not want any llm/generative AI crap anywhere near me, my work, or my money. Anyone who puts their work on the platform should voice their opposition to allowing the integration of these tools/services

If you’re a #TTRPG creator with a Patreon page, please do this survey and state that you’re opposed to the use of AI! We need to nip this in the bud ASAP. The survey takes 2 minutes and will hopefully have a big impact if enough of us submit strongly negative opinions!

I am serious about this so please tell me if you play it.

You should play We Contain Solitudes this weekend. While it isn't like, romantic or anything, it's certainly intimate, in the way that a focused two person conversation is. More so given how the game works, but I'll leave that for you to discover in play. sevencrowsgames.itch.io/we-contain-s...

Would anyone like to play this with me?

You should check out We Contain Solitudes - it’s a duet game about people connecting through a time loop (think Russian Doll) and uses a very cool structure and constraints for writing out the setup and scenes

You can get my new game for free. I'd love for you to play it.

There must be some magical girl fans in New Jersey! ✨ Massive thank you to the folks at @njwebfest.bsky.social for the nominations! We’re so honored to be considered for Outstanding Science Fiction AP, Best Premise of an Actual Play, Best Sound Design, & Best Ensemble Cast 🌸

Fuck it. We Contain Solitudes is pay what you want now. Let's call it a sale, or something. sevencrowsgames.itch.io/we-contain-s...

Mostly I am completed baffled by the prospect of what price to set for my game, and I guess that is my contribution to any TTRPG pricing discourse.

It's a direct line. First, Microsoft's Azure enabled the mass surveillance of a civilian population living in apartheid conditions on the West bank. Then, that same technology was deployed in Gaza to support airstrikes into "densely populated" civillian areas. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

You can play my new game We Contain Solitudes, I released the ashcan on itch. It's a duet rpg about troubled souls trapped in a time loop. I'm really proud of it! sevencrowsgames.itch.io/we-contain-s...

I've been coworking with Andrew and it's been so exciting watching this game evolve. And then I got to playtest the other weekend, and it was such a poignant, elegant, genuinely-novel (a rare thing in the increasingly-explored world of RPGs) experience. The crunchiest lyric game you've ever seen!

hello please buy this two player TTRPG from my friend Andrew and find a way within the very engaging restraints of the game to trade poetic soliloquies of doomed yearning with the girl you secretly love

I've got a new game called We Contain Solitudes that I am putting out today! You can get it here: sevencrowsgames.itch.io/we-contain-s... It's a 2 player ttrpg about troubled souls stuck in a time loop that plays out in prose and soliloquy.

Oh, I've been waiting for this one for a MINUTE :) Excited to check it out!

For the evening crowd. I've got a new game that I released today!

The reviews are coming in!

What’s that, friend? I think I hear a train on the horizon, pulling up on the road to Hell…

Feeling very normal and good about my plan to put the ashcan of my new game up on itch.io next week...

Some favourites of mine from Girl by Moonlight, done in early 2023.

Since I'm taking a little bit of a break, I want to talk about the work I've done over the last three months at Rascal. I've done interviews, criticism, reportage, and stuff that's hard to classify. I'm incredibly proud of all of it and want to take some time and lay it out in one thread: 1/

THE FAGGOT GAMES TTRPG JAM REVIEW blog is up! Join me as I go through every (!!) game released for the Faggot Games TTRPG Jam, giving feedback as I read through each one. www.eclipse.gay/blog/the-fag...

If you have a food themed TTRPG or TTRPG Related (art or more) content and would like to be part of a bundle on Itchio with proceeds going to The Breakfast Club of Canada giving children access to a nutritious breakfast at school and help them reach full potential.

Oh so you saw a city just like my dream, Marco? Does this one also have a dark mirror of itself hidden within? No way, and you’re telling me that its inhabitants can no longer tell which is the real city and which is its image? Do you suppose it represents how this moment too will never come again?

I'm going to try to not be annoying about this, but also: Griot Anthology is LIVE AND BEAUTIFUL. Buy a copy. Tell your friends. Play some games.

You can be magic, and unleash the incredible power of love, or violence.

The big contradiction of living independently while disabled is that it's all good until anything breaks on my wheelchair and then I am alone, and potentially unable to even move around my apartment, while I wait for new parts/repairs or whatever.

Today's adventure was chasing down a leak in my wheelchair's seat cushion. I think I managed to fix it with an old bicycle tube patch kit, but it's a bit dodgy... Anyways fear of a pressure injury is a very effective motivator for DIY activities.
