Put Kermit the Frog on Hot Ones

I’ve never seen so many people in one place. Downtown LA

going to explain what running a kickstarter is like to my therapist tomorrow

This was a fun chat! I got to really go off about the various indie design topics in my head at the moment, and hopefully they have something to do with roguelikes hehe

Today for my birthday I received both some of the best personal news I've had in years and my worst haircut ever. 🫡

Turned out to be one of my favorite seasons of the whole show (British series 14)

@diceexploder.com is the design podcast you didn’t know you needed, breaking open mechanics like clockwork to reveal the artistry inside. It doesn’t ask how rules work; it asks how they feel in play. That shift -- from tech to expression -- is what makes it essential for storytellers.

For my birthday you can also rate and review Dorkspawn!

Cute game, coming in July

i'm a little over halfway through this series & it's awesome. really cool resource for getting a general potential feel of running or playing a PBTA game. i particularly want to shout out @essaysays.bsky.social for consistently asking super insightful questions that inspire great & helpful answers

Love 2 receive "several megabytes of trauma dumping from a 20 year-old witch" in a google drive link from @notwritinggames.bsky.social
