Take heed!

Tonight, I explode five fallacies always being foisted onto DMs/GMs; especially those new to the hobby. Plus fresh #TTRPGNews from @koboldpress.com @landofeem.bsky.social @theschwalb.bsky.social and more on The Gaming Gang Dispatch. Live at 8pmET/7pmCT/5pmPT. 😄 #TTRPGs youtube.com/watch?v=BJEv...

The first feature that will be in Wyrd Science issue 9 just hit our inbox and we have to say it’s a weapons grade banger. Now, please consider buying a few more copies of issue 8, so we have a bigger budget which I can then blow on fancy inks, paper stocks and, who knows, maybe even a copy editor

Superb.

I'd just like to draw everyone's attention to this: “A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” – IBM Training Manual, 1979

So I did the layout for this 200-page #RuneQuest scenario set in Apple Lane during the big summer festival organised by the local temple of Uleria, Goddess of Love, and now the rest of you get to see what I’ve been secretly smiling about for the last year or so. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The soundtrack to this mornings commute: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKAT... The start to the video is like a noir vampire film, and what's with the horse?

Tip for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilding folks out there; You know how you've got consumables like potions for your setting? Do yourself a favor, start thinking about scent, taste, and best (worst) of all- texture as you describe people drinking them. #TTRPG

I know some of my mutuals have a passion for railways, so, before we flog them, are any of you interested in any volumes of my dad's collection of railway magazines, as pictured, for a donation to charity? He'd have wanted them to go someone who appreciated them as much as he did.

Just started tapping this out with my pen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V_x...

I’m curious if any other TTRPGs have been published tête-bêche…

Reform canvassers turned up just before lunch yesterday. My mother in law was round .. she gave them a right earful and then gave them the devastating news that she would be voting for the Green party. Never, ever, thought I'd hear that!

#ttrpg I'm playing in two charity fundraiser games today for @translifeline.org. 2:30 ET: Eat the Reich, about vampire commandos in WWII. 7:30 ET: Voidheart, about taking down the medical establishment. Both games stream live to ManyFacedPlays (Twitch) and QueersNSpears (YouTube).

In collaboration with our friends at @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social we've commissioned *fourteen* brand new modern day Call of Cthulhu one-shots for their 🇺🇸 tour. First one was a suddenly pilotless plane (the Investigators had 5% 'Fly Plane' skill between them). Next show is Dallas on May 13th!

Show us your thruppeny bits 😲🫢

Working on a new TTRPG / OSR project! A layered build of a @dysonlogos.bsky.social commercial map (link in alt), laser engraved onto maple veneered plywood, then overlayed with hatching etched and cut on black acrylic. Some imperfections, but I'm going to iron out the workflow! Video in reply

Waylaid by the lure of a pint and a burger before getting to 'Call to Adventure'.

Today I learnt that there’s a 4th of July larp in Poland where everyone acts out life in a trailer park & the death of the American dream 🤔 larpventure.com/4th-of-july

So, this morning I decided to move over to EuroSky. That was a bumpy ride 😱

Such a fun commission, I can’t wait to see the scenario

This looks right up my street!

“Private Lives” This is the essay that nearly got me kicked out of the Air Force.  As I neared the end of my 6 year enlistment, I wanted to get a head start on my freelance writing career. I scribbled this up and sent it to Sandra Thompson, the editor for the weekly Private Lives column at the St.…

After lunch walk. Ended up at the 5 bells. Cheers 🍻

Crowley was here.

Postie has been, delivered 'The Game Narrative Kaleidoscope'. A collection of over 100 essays on the craft of game writing - published by @inkle.co Love that each essay has a couple of options leading to a new essay, a cool nod to 'CYOA' books and non linear fiction.

Many of you know that I work for Cancer Research UK, it's an inspiring place to work - such a change from my previous employers - working to make money to save lives as opposed to making billionaires richer. It has become yet more real to me - all our lives are touched by cancer in some way -

Martin knows what he's talking about. If you've not listened already - and are a fan of 'true crime' podcasts, mysteries, and audio drama then you'll probably love these. The HPL stories are reimagined in way that brings them up to date and weaves in real world events and places. Truly remarkable.

This looks so good.
