Heh. Because I tend to duplicate a finished canvas and then just paint right over the top of it in #Procreate, a nice little video record of lots of paintings builds up. Nothing is finished here because I always take em into #ArtRage for more. But some new Desert backdrops in progress. #jhbackdrops

I'll be playtesting one of my unreleased games tomorrow. Which one? Come and find out in person!

That's so disheartening. If you need to outsource engaging with the hobby to AI, you probably need a new hobby that you actually enjoy engaging with.

A huge thank you to the Tabletop Arts Fund for awarding this grant, which we applied for to better allow us to make Why We Fight accessible and afford consultants for screenreader accessible content. It's also wonderful to be featured beside all these other inspired works!

Well this was amazing to wake up to! Check out the thread to read what the judges have to say about Why We Fight

Great thread of advice for GMing.

As I'm talking about gamebooks again, this is still probably the most startling ending paragraphs I've ever seen in a book aimed at teenage boys. They managed to get away with sneaking in 18th century propaganda by the deed and treating it neutrally and didn't end up the tabloids.

When I say that the BOSR means hating "Thatch" and wanting to go back in time so you can refuse to pay your poll tax, it's not *just* a bit. I can't think of a single one of my gaming groups throughout the 80s and 90s where being a Tory wouldn't have made you a social pariah.

Someone asked me if Two Summers wad a good game. I said I hated it at the time, but now look back on it as one of the best games of my life.

Someone asked me if Mum Chums is a good game. I said we should talk about it over a cuppa 🫖

Someone asked if May You Fish in Interesting Times is a good game. I told them only if they don't mind ruffling some feathers. 🐦

This is some amazing company to find Mum Chums listed in 🤗

I can't believe this even needs to be said, but if you call yourself an environmentalist whilst owning *multiple* homes and/or are a landlord you're not an environmentalist - you're a goddamn hypocrite. Why are there so many people that this applies to??

Someone asked me if 3:16 Carnage Amongst the Stars is a good game. I said it was all going to shit until I remembered my time in Basic Training, then it all worked out on my own terms.

Another friend asked me the same question. I just set the scene and let them decide.

Someone asked me if Lady Blackbird is a good game. I told them that if you're out of dice, even looking back, it could be refreshing

Nice but could be improved if it was you who flew through your own window and woke up missing your copy of Fiasco so you really can't say.

Someone asked me if Fiasco is a good game. I suddenly hit the breaks hard, let their body fly through windscreen, spun the car around, and sped off the other direction with the box.

That’s three frikkin great reccos for the price of one. Got em all. Love em all.

The #KiwiRPG itch bundle has a lot of awesome games, and includes my latest game, Seagull: a solo journaling game about a Seagull watching a swimmer.

Today, I'm running Invasive, an extra scenario for the Cosmic Dark Kickstarter, set in a factory that wants to make you happy. Meanwhile, the Kickstarter is counting down in hours not days, and close to @gshowitt.bsky.social and @mytholder.bsky.social 's goals. #kickstarter #crowdfunding #ttrpg

KiwiRPG Week is Coming! 🇳🇿 🎲 Starting Sunday 15th June through to Saturday 21st June. 7 days of live-shows, games and more, all from Aotearoa New Zealand, for people everywhere around the world to enjoy! www.kiwirpg.com/kiwirpg-week... #TTRPG #KiwiRPG #Aotearoa

Pals dropped in unannounced, so we had a surprise games evening! Courtisans was low pressure, high table talk. Calico mainly involved swearing at our own hex playmats and consoling one another. I also tried a Pluslife covid tester and was so impressed I've ordered one for my home!

I'm just saying that Moonnbeam, a start-up streaming service headed by an Active Duty U.S. Army Strategist who is cozy with the IDF, should be left to wither and die on the vine no matter how many shiny toys/sponsorships it dangles for #ttrpg peeps.

Stafford's finest (and only).

Today 🥰

Fascists will use violence when and where they please with zero provocation. It’s really clear you don’t understand this.They will use violence no matter what you do they do not need pretext. Fascisms core is violence because they see it as a sacred ritual. Nonviolence alone will not stop a fascists

So, let's talk about digital tool conversion for TTRPGs. My street cred? I'm the Head of Game Content for Roll20+Demiplane, which means that I lead the team that converts content officially. This is going to be a long one, so grab a snack, and let's chat.

Clip from the America250 VIP party in Vegas at the Bitcoin Conference.

Saw a earnest-looking post from someone who “used AI to invoice a client” and “it added $500 and the client wasn’t happy” and “does anyone know how to make sure this doesn’t happen in the future” chat I think we’re cooked
