Upsettingly good, per usual.

November 28th. 45 degrees outside. My neighbor is mowing his lawn. Help.

I’m addicted to ttrpg con recaps and I’ll never go to rehab.

Finished my second playtest campaign of Blightfall last night and it was Chef’s Kiss. You gotta love it when a character takes the villain back in time to the birth of the sun and commits murder-sunicide.

Physical books should have hyperlinks too. I’m tired of punching a finger-sized hole through the pages without any reward.

My wife has no idea how many ttrpg books I am going to own one day and I truly feel for her and what she’ll go through. But not enough to stop.

New blog post about the 50 hours I spent COLORING for my game. Am I dedicated, or just plain stupid? theblighted.com/2025/11/23/i...

If you're transgender, you HAVE to live.

I’m not going to PaxU, because you know what’s even cooler than PaxU? Nothing. My life sucksssss.

Feeling inspired after my latest playtest. TTRPGs are so good. It’s wild that I’m the first person to ever have this thought. I guess I’m just special.

Love this so much. 💜

Yesssss. Get into your mechanics so that the vibes become immaculate. When we die, the only thing people remember will be our ttrpg’s vibes and if the mechanics supported them.

New Blog Up: Death to the Infinite Campaign I talk about how Forever Campaigns are doomed to fail, and how my thoughts on them have changed as I'm about to finish a campaign of Impossible Landscapes. theblighted.com/2025/11/16/d...

I call Yazeba’s Bed and Breakfast ‘Yazzy B’s” and Liminal Horror ‘Limmy Ho Ho’ and NONE OF YOU can stop me.

My dog, Kiwi, managed to escape her crate and opened my birthday present for me. I didn’t need the joy of opening my own gifts anyways … thanks, Kiwi.

It’s funded! Huzzah! A little over a day left to get in on this action and support this awesome project.

Back this. Now.

I still feel gross about posting links to my own blog, even if the blog is about hyping up someone else’s project. Maybe I’ll get better about this one day.

Hot new blog post about the glut(?) of TTRPGs, the point of creation, and a game that's crowdfunding called Ephemeris. theblighted.com/2025/11/09/t...

Today I randomly played Wordle for the first time in a year. I put in my usual first word. Green square. Green square. Green square. Green square. Green square. One try baby. Thanks 'ARISE'.

Trying to resist backing everything so I can pay for things for my own game. No one ever told me about this dark side of game design.

This is going to be a terrific episode!

Tonight seems to be a strong rebuke of the Republican Party’s “make shit as bad as possible as quickly as possible” strategy

Ugh, just got followed by this loser. That’s how shitty these AI weirdos are, just having bots search for the AI keyword and follow blindly. They don’t care about connection or art. They just want to get your attention and use you. BLOCKED.

Please go vote today.

Shouting out my own game, Blightfall, a dark fantasy TTRPG that combines collaborative world building with tragic stories of doomed heroes. Follows greatly appreciated! #ttrpg #darkfantasy #gamedesign www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

This game looks absolutely gorgeous and if I weren’t so tariff-ied of shipping fees I would back it immediately. (Pun intentional, I’m no coward) www.kickstarter.com/projects/144...

UK Games Expo promoted a tabletop RPG on Instagram that claimed to use "fully ethical and transparent" generative AI. Everything went downhill once the publisher began responding to criticism.

As I block someone on TikTok: If you use Generative AI, I don’t want your opinion on anything. It means less than nothing to me. Your taste is rancid with the corruption of billionaires and empty of thought and interest. You are alike in critical thought to a rock on a lake shore.

Gates of Krystalia are doing numbers on Kickstarter again, so I'm tapping the sign to remind folks that the publisher, "Top Notch International" does strikingly irresponsible (with a side of appropriation), unreadable AI-generated books, marketed under multiple (fake) authors and titles. #ttrpg

We must find all AI-use and shame them.

Gorgeousssss

Posted about the UKGE advertising Gates of Krystalia, an AI art-filled game, on my blog: theblighted.com/2025/11/02/g... Big thanks to @alderdoodle.bsky.social for posting about this situation.

What if we called it a Chocolate Tacolate instead?

TRICK OR TREAT! A bunch of community copies of Perils & Princesses, the Candy-Cursed campaign Sweet Revenge, and The Secret of the Night market are up on itch. outrider-creative.itch.io

Blood blood. Blood blood blood. Blood blood BLOOD BLOOD! … blood

Corpses are some of the best things you can spew. Check it out, Daggerheart pals!

The Krystalia bro is bending over backwards to justify the AI so much. What trash.

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires. There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

Damn, this looks so cool. Apparently I beefed it and missed the kickstarter, but I’m going to try and keep my eye out for anymore The Woods at Blights Hollow news. Reading this is a legal contract you just eye-signed saying you will remind me. www.kickstarter.com/projects/sin...

10 minutes into this con and already infuriated by a rude weirdo with no social sense and an illness. Classic.

Recently received Retrograde from the same creator and it's fucking gorgeous. Handmade analog printmaking at its finest. This is the kind of project that deserves WAAAYYY more support. Linograph illustrations, riso printing, and vampires. What more do you want?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I once had to go to a food pantry in November, and because it was close to Thanksgiving, the line to get in wrapped around the block. This was back in the early 2000s. Also when people had access to SNAP. Imagine what it will be this year without it.

How dare Sarah be this talented?

It is the year 2065. The reign of D&D is over. Cooler TTRPGs are in the zeitgeist. No one has mentioned D&D in hundreds of years (don't do the math please). My son visits me in the old folks home. He shows me a "cool RPG" he discovered. I see the player's handbook. I have a heart attack. I die.

Give ‘em some love folks!
