Hell. Yes. The more information players have, the more fun we can all have. The more buck wild shit we can all do. Keeping secrets for suspense often translates into stress for the GM. Communication fuels the magic of TTRPGs. Just tell them. I promise it will be dope, regardless.

I binge watched Long Story Short and loved it.

Just sent a bunch of swag designed by @worldchamp.bsky.social to print. Adam is an amazing visual designer. He really understands the interplay of medium and design. We started with one idea and ended up with 2 images. Here is the one we just sent to print. This is our theme going into 2026.

That's right. I'm that hot stepdad.

Caption this.

Excited to announce my new game, The CryptID Show, is coming to BackerKit this October! Published by @plusoneexp.bsky.social, this is a two-player improv game inspired by Coast-To-Coast AM and the game Home Safety Hotline (1/4)

Mythomorphosis is now available in PDF! Explore how mythology changes over generations in this GMless collaborative storytelling game. You can find it on Itch here: gmurphy.itch.io/mythomorphosis

Just found out this dropped, and have gotten a few messages about it. To be clear, Tony was a primary source for the article and encouraged the article from the start. It's a hard read, but we are glad it's out. www.rascal.news/plus-one-exp...

I'm playing with my favorite crew right now, we're doing a heist, I fucking love it. Blister City slaps. @wasabotte.bsky.social , @sassylich.bsky.social , and @keganexe.com are some of the most emotionally intelligent, kind and fucking hilarious folks I've ever played with. twitch.tv/tonyplusone

We are back here in an hour for the mid-season finale of Blister City (its the mid season finale because I'm moving irl). Join The Black Iron Swarm as they break into The Diamond's Mansion to steal back some data for The Gravedigger Network. Nothing can go wrong. Catch us @ twitch.tv/tonyplusone

Okay so the pitch approval process for Plus One is really easy and idk why folks pretend otherwise like

Hey dudes, it's been a minute. Did you remember it's Treat Yo'self Thursday? Cause I did. Let's be kind to ourselves today.

Last year I put Libby on my phone and now I read all the time. It's great. I saw a reminder that word of mouth sells books so I'm gonna talk about some of the good ones now and again. Gonna drop 'em in this thread. Starting with:

Publishers+ If you won't sacrifice for your values, then what's the point? We consistently get to spend time around other great folks who are working to make #TTRPG spaces better. @possibleworlds.bsky.social @ipr.bsky.social @spacepenguinink.bsky.social @soulmuppet.co.uk @rascal.news & dozens more

I'd love to have a nuanced conversation of how wildly different it is playing TTRPGs with straight conservative white dudes versus diverse queer and femme groups - but like, it's self evident I suppose.

If you missed it, here's the recording of the Plus One Exp actual play of Mythomorphosis featuring @0sarahxfrank0.bsky.social, @keganexe.com, and @chrissycrits.bsky.social creating a myth about a town cut off from the world, and the hero who might open the road out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZaU...

@0sarahxfrank0.bsky.social: Can you send me a picture of Judge? I need it for something Me:
