Be careful out there in the Yule Void, everyone

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

Remember that ZA/UM gets money from Epic for these, and the creators of the game made their work available on @archive.org because they've been removed from earning from it

From the publisher that brings you Sprigs & Kindling (that's me!), in collaboration with @jesseross.com and @pemetawe.bsky.social comes a new anthology of one shot incursions for Trophy! Sign up to be notified of launch 😄 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...

Nice

Our dog-nephew who isn't supposed to be on the couch having a little snooze on Christmas Eve.

This is just the best.

For every direct sale of the World Wide Wrestling PDF, I add a free community copy to itch. So far we've added 487 since starting this last year. I'd love to get that to 500 by years end! Regular sales add +1 community copy, tips and bundles add +2. ndpdesign.itch.io/the-world-wi...

you’re gonna need a tinier tim

we're almost at the funny number :D www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...

we have "the Get seat" year-round. The dining room chair closest to the kitchen is the Get seat. Whoever sits there will inevitably be asked multiple times "can you get me _ from the kitchen?" (The Get seat is often reserved for new family members but it's never Mom's seat, that's a rule.)

December 25th. The day the Fellowship departs Rivendell to destroy the One Ring. Whatever you celebrate, may you have the courage to take the first steps to defy and endure against the dark, and rekindle light into the world.

Contributor highlight: Writer/consultant @clearkeep.bsky.social is an award winning designer! One of the first writers for Trophy, he has since twisted his roots in the system into games like Sunken and The Wassailing of Claus Manor (link in comments!) His Dark incursion is about a city in revolt!

Gonna drop this here since I created it: leavesubstack.com

Sigh. Once again, if you are warning us about fascism while posting on Substack you’re asking us to do work YOU 👏 ARE 👏 NOT 👏 WILLING 👏 TO 👏 DO.

Contributor Highlight: @signalstation.bsky.social! Michael created Devil, Aim For Me and Die, Grave Robber, Die! He's contributed to various Gauntlet TTRPG projects and The Wassailing of Claus Manor. His anthology Gold incursion is themed around Wellness and it's set at a WEIRD af wellness retreat!

All of them are worth a look. Game design and layout have a lot of neat ideas supporting the themes and emotions of the game. What Dust Remains is one of my games of the year and worth paying for certainly worth getting for free.

Spending the holidays as they're meant to be spent: writing rules for Step Right Up, trying to synthesize the best rulesets of various Carved from Brindlewood games into something new. Can't believe that just because I wrote a game, I'm now expected to tell ppl how to play it.

Launching on March 1!!! Super excited!

Happy Tibb's Eve, everyone! I hope you get to spend it with friends and loved ones :)

Today is the Day! We started our campaign in #BrindlewoodBay in Summer 2024 and today we´ll have our final session in the Void Mystery and I´m freakin excited! Running this campaign is my best experience in TTRPGs until now 💚 www.drivethrurpg.com/de/product/4...

At this point I expect to start seeing people post "Hey, check out this classic video of Rick Astley singing 'Never Gonna Give You Up'" and linking to a copy of 60 Minutes

Please note I take the 60 Minutes censorship situation very seriously, I am very concerned for my American friends. And I also laughed out loud at this:

Me, playing literally any game that isn't CfB: hm... there's some juicy lore I want to include but I don't really have time to delve into it...good ok so we're just gonna Paint The Scene there, or else use it as an Unscene later... -shakes fist- Cordovaaaa! (It really is just a good mechanic!)

Anyway, it’s time for Top Newfoundland Memes 2025. Pour a sip we gets into it.

Book Review: Canada The First 20,000 Years An absolutely fantastic book that covers literally everything in Canadian history. Highly recommend it. You can find it at most bookstores, online and at: www.canada20000.com

It has been called Canada's Favourite Confection. This no-bake dessert grew in prominence following the Second World War and became famous nationwide thanks to Expo 86 and Nanaimo's mascot Nanaimo Barney. This is the story of Nanaimo Bars! 🧵 1/9

In this bleak midwinter, as we emerge from the longest night of the year, do you still find yourself lost in the dark woods? In my first published game, Candlelight, you are ghosts trying to escape a haunted forest before it claims you forever. It's half off on @itch.io: itch.io/s/174601/win...

I am so excited to be part of this.
