And with skin made of leather, and teeth made of dice I slept in the peat under ten feet of ice youtu.be/zXWXe9THW44?...

The other day, in Canada: While waiting for my coffee and browsing bsky I just said “gosh if he could already die…” And without me naming anyone, everyone in the coffee went “yes please!” I doubt there was ever anyone on Earth that people were that universally tired of enduring.

Oki. Updating my Signalis RPG is done. I can stop thinking about it until the next playtest. I need to buy food and after that work on commissions.

Awww look at them in their lil boat:

My squad of Lego Anubis warriors! Hope to find more at a Lego festival at the end of the month, or if I'm really lucky, the Pyramid set from the Pharaoh's Quest line.

“Worship me mortals”

Clanker slur is stupid. This just target a robotic frame, which as nothing to do with AI. Robotic frames could be exoskeleton or prosthetics for disabled humans, cyborg bodies, or even hosting actually sentient and self aware AIs (which dont currently exist). Idk maybe target the slop instead.

Oki, finished another significant update to my Signalis RPG. I hope that I am learning from all this tinkering. Heading back home to hopefully work on commissions now.

This indie French #TTRPG has fantastic art. Poke @evlynmoreau.bsky.social

Gosh, I left the MorkBorg discord server, way too many people posting useless trains of thought that just blur into noise. Can’t even read a post without 12 others pile on. WTH? Big discords are really useless compared to smaller ones.

Quick rail hits, plus some bails that were worth sharing at the end lol Slide blocks provided by: @bigfootblox.bsky.social #rollerskating #bigfootsliders #bigfootbloxxx #bloxxxskateteam

The Dogs of War bestiary for Shadowdark is almost 175% funded. If it makes enough, maybe we can add some more tokens. 👀 #dnd #kickstarter #osr #projectwelove #rpg #shadowdark #trpg #ttrpg

And the best thing ever: I saw an anti-AI screed in the end credits after the old school 8-bit video game-styled main credits.

Some tetrapod as the meteor heat wave rush toward her: “guys, you wanna read my cozy fictionnnnnnnnn…….” (Crisp sound)

some days you just have to play a leathery bog mummy alongside Trickster Santa as guests at the wedding of the Century. giving generations of guests something to gossip about in Cupid's Henchmen, a phenomenal RPG by @torenielsen.bsky.social in the good company of @huwbowen.bsky.social

Aww, there is an old lady writer at the coffee shop today, she even have a old lady hat with a butterfly on it. I wonder if she is writing a detective novel or working on a Call of Cthulhu module.

Check out Shambler’s lil games, leave her a comment if able: shambler13.itch.io

I was very unfocused today but I tried my best to work on small things. Started the layout of a new zine, so there is that at least. Hoping that tomorrow I will be in a better mood. We need to try to reach out more toward each other in that difficult world. ✨💜✨

Finished reading through S. R. Holiwell's Metroid II: A Maze of Murderscapes Its given me a lot to think about I really hope she's doing well www.gamedeveloper.com/audio/a-maze...

I am too nice as a GM. I need to learn to be meaner. 😤

This week on the blog - I take a little break (heh) to talk about things to come: breakrpg.blogspot.com/2026/01/brea...

Feeling like crying. But I will try to activate myself, eat a little something and do some more work.

Me wants to have a date just magically happening out of nowhere. No explanation, just cosmic scriptwriters being whimsical.

My union salvager

This is coming real soon. SCI FI space horrors. www.kickstarter.com/projects/imp...

Sentience is such a cruel gift

Yeah it is clear that Larian Studios thirst for AI, they just want to do it in way less upsetting for user, but oh boy do the producers want it.

More relevant than ever, and by popular demand: another LIMITED run of our Antifa miniatures shirt courtesy of SlowDeath Games. Available in red or black and several sizes. Only in the shop for a couple of weeks so nobody's waiting forever for these to arrive. Grab yours now, terrorists!

When someone tells me we just gotta fundraise and vote harder next time

I need to be much more productive. Each day I never do enough, I just keep falling behind more and more. 😞

Eat the Reich was fun yesterday, took us only a few dice rolls to get a hang of the system but the game started to be really fun when I looked at the cheat sheet and told the group “heyyy I think this is the most important part of their game system, we need to apply it! 😄”. It made everything better

Some “professional level” RPG publishers are not very good at supporting the beautiful games they publish. Or are not taking initiative or hiring people, idk. But some good games are criminally under supported.

I got no one in my life who is able to discuss game design in VC with me at the same interest or understanding level. I have been talking to myself design wise for two years now. So my skills and “evolution” are stunted. Balance is important but working in your own bubble is never good.

Woke up later than usual but I just feel tired and grumpy. :( I still made it to the coffee shop. Will drink coffee and try to work on projects, but I don’t feel in a good mood. :(

Twitter was great in its day. I remember once in the middle of the night in Michigan hearing an explosion in the neighborhood. What happened? Was there a fire? Within minutes twitter search was finding me people I didn't know sharing photos and information. A house seven blocks away had...

I had a good day but I am going to bed feeling discouraged. 🫤 I was productive today but I am still feeling like I am going nowhere with all this and that my game design is kind of bad. I really miss having a partner too. I will try to sleep. 😴

Playtested Echoes this afternoon. It went overall well but the survival part was maybe a bit repetitive. But that was maybe just me. Still trying to figure out the GM moves.

I am so tired of all this. 😔 At least I will hangout with friends tonight in voice chat.

Within the community this is like 3 years old news FFS. We saw signs since Covid. When they started spinning the groomers discourse, we knew… and nearly no one stood for us. Cis influencers instead debated us to tell us we were hysterical and alarmist. www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/...

I started assembling the layout of a new "wordless" zine. :) This one much more peaceful, you will see.

Because I got a few shoutouts and need to burn some time before I head out for a blood draw; I'm just gonna post some pieces I've enjoyed collaging over the past year or so. I'm still really proud of this Slackgaff-by-the-Sea map I did for a short Frontier Scum game/project. Plus some tests.

Pretty special item came in! This fully transforming chibi Nautica was done by Sam's Forge, because of course it was, Sam is a sorcerer of engineering.

Did a bunch of tweakings to my Signalis Echoes RPG (I know, I know… I should put that project aside…) and I am getting ready to playtest the survival horror part this afternoon in voice with 3 players. :)

The number of people advocating against their own civil rights is wild.

400.000 people were worried or affected enough to move states…
