My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

Evil Tetris

It's a good day to remember that TTRPGs review based on play are intrinsically tied to their table as much, if not more, than the book itself! That's not to dismiss/discount criticisms, only to remember that one table's "this didn't work for us" can easily also be another person's "we loved this!"

Unfortunately, like many other sites on the internet right now, we're the victim of excessive suspicious requests from bots over the past few days. We're working the best we can to mitigate and get services fully restored. Thanks for your patience

itch does a lot for our medium and gives us terms that are pretty much not seen in any adjacent industry (to very little thanks) but this is pretty silly. even just a 'hey, we're having a server issue right now, no eta just yet' would go a long way.

Kind of obnoxious that @itch.io has basically been down all weekend and they haven’t made any sort of post or announcement to update about what the hell is going on. This is fucking with people‘s ability to make an income! Please hire like 1 community manager or something for fucks sake.

lol

Here is a hard thing to convince people of. If you had an awesome RPG session last night? YOU DID THAT. Not the game. Not the designers. Not the publishers. You. You were awesome. For many of us, that is SUPREMELY uncomfortable to even consider, and it’s easier to put the games pedestal.

scarius1337.itch.io/hang-the-dj just pushed this out, check it out or not im not your dad #cy_borg #netrunner

started a modern adventures collection on itch, a setting/time period I think is broadly under-served in indie rpgs. if you have made a modern adventure, you should let me know so I can add it. itch.io/c/5947214/mo...

hit the ground running, a prequel supplement to daedalus station is out now smurphy-games.itch.io/hit-the-grou...

Something you have to realize before you can effectively deal with these anti-art fiction-cop dweebs is that a lot of them literally believe in mind control.

as a former guy on other the end of the phone line: its always worth remembering that the person you're speaking to (at least at first) is never the person making the decisions. please be kind, it's not their fault.

got a call back from a supervisor! she is aware there's a big backlash happening, but has little to no details. one IMPORTANT thing: these giant corpos outsource their customer service to call centers. and as Maria told me, they are often the LAST to know. so again, BE KIND. 1/?

only semi related: one time I went to the Tate Modern in London and stood in the room with a replica of Duchamp's Fountain. watched no less than 5 guys walk by, scoff and make some kind of brainless quip about it to their bored looking dates.

i think of this whenever someone has some shit to say about abstract art

was chatting with my friend about this yesterday. I think there is a semi noticable handful of games that are basically quicky put together co-op streamer bait (chained together lol) but it's stupid to apply the label to Peak and Lethal company which are pretty intentionally designed experiences.

I'm often so-so on jams but this is a really good one. - Clear and novel idea/theme - Narrow focus - Tight(ish) time limit good stuff from dank and jorphdan.

New adventure for old roleplaying games, MANDOG. Shoutout to @wilberhforce.bsky.social for the pictures, @samsorensen.bsky.social for the editing, and @evilgoblin.wedding for the layout. They did amazing work on this. gromb54-46.itch.io/mandog

whys it gotta be discourse, we just b having conversations here man

recently a story has done the rounds in our media about a trans teen who starved to death in emergency accomodation. the original reporting was very biased and spouted a bunch of transphobic nonsense but this article corrects the record significantly (cw: transphobia) www.webworm.co/p/lifeanddea...

hey all! it's #kiwirpg week so all my shit is 50% off. if you've been eyeing up daedalus station, now would be a good to grab it. itch.io/s/154868/kiw...

You really don’t need to make this a bigger deal than it actually is. “Traitor” is a new four-page comic written by me with art by @comicnerdsam.bsky.social. Here it is:

I know that people love to scream at anyone who dares to try to give people a heads up about how advanced "AI"-type stuff is (which is essential for being able to spot it to avoid getting fooled by it), but I think it's important, actually, to be aware that this is where the tech is currently at.

Everyone worked real hard on this one, and I'm really happy with how it turned out, so I'm just gonna be honest and say I hope more people watch it. youtube.com/watch?v=yNHBWQ02FNU

BRACKISH, my new module for Mothership, is live on BackerKit right now! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

realised recently that my favourite kinds of games are when the game has a really sick premise but actually you only do that thing 20ish percent of the time in between logistics bullshit

god they just went in in MSpaint and added the text using the text tool, which you can tell because it's all just oriented pefectly with the axis of the picture

Post your space art 🌠

i was half joking with the 7 dollar pizza line this but my Real Job just fucked up my pay for the week so thank you to everyone who's been grabbing this and keeping me fed lol. table top arpeegees have saved my ass once again.
