the moral of dune is that you should get off the computer and go do drugs

Just reminded myself how hard the ending of Coffin Text Spell 714 goes

Go check out the IWD Steam sale featuring games made by women led teams, y'all. There's some absolutely dope stuff in there. store.steampowered.com/sale/WomensD...

Do you want someone to review your weird little #indiettrpg? We want to review your weird little indie #ttrpg Drop us a DM, comment here or light a signal fire to get our attention. We'd appreciate reposts from anyone who sees this to get the message far and wide

If you don’t want to see trans people you can simply pluck your eyes out

UX Designers have only two modes. (Sorry, I don't make the rules...) The variation among us is simply what percentage of our lives we spend channeling each one.

I don't think I've asked this on here so here goes: What are y'all's favourite/weirdest ttrpgs by creators that aren't white men?

Live now over at twitch.tv/actualplay ! @wallstormer.bsky.social @andrewgillis.bsky.social and myself are gonna play a little dungeonpunk for some chill sunday fantasy fun.

Please contribute if you're able or share the original if you're not

Coming up over at twitch.tv/actualplay at 1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern, catch @andrewgillis.bsky.social @wallstormer.bsky.social @sidneyicarus.bsky.social and myself playing some dungeonpunk for a little classic fantasy westmarches fun!

discord users, make your voice heard and send your complaints to support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req... ! they'll need to address this or face the backlash.

Discovered that the puzzle @acegiak.bsky.social & I did had #accessibility settings built in 🤯 Never seen smth like this before! I can imagine it'd be INCREDIBLY helpful for those who might need it — esp considering before assembly 70% of the pieces were just homogenous-beige-with-brown-scribbles 😆

updated the PDFs for dungeonpunk with a fix for the armor rule. The Brace move now puts it in the player's hands. Grab the updated pdfs from acegiak.itch.io/dungeonpunk & if you haven't already checked it out and want a simple, fast not-DnD to play fantasy fun with your friends, maybe take a look.

The problem with the US is, unlike the rest of the world, the leader of the government of the United States isn't sufficiently scared of being overthrown by the CIA

Check out our game it was atop the new and trending chart all day?? We’re doing a launch sale on steam rn, 20% off! A labor of love people are calling “chill” and “just okay but not in a bad way” and “exactly what they needed rn”, etc, here: bit.ly/WishlistSpiritSwap

The old are fascinating, worth listening to, for all they've learned. The young are fascinating, worth listening to, for all they haven't.

Coming up in an hour! Session 2 of Stewpot: Tales From A Fantasy Tavern by @noroadhome.itch.io with @andrewgillis.bsky.social @sidneyicarus.bsky.social and me over at twitch.tv/actualplay !

They say before you embark on revenge to dig two graves. That's in case you get Super Revenge, where you kill a guy and get his buddy too

For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday

See what year 2023 came up with! 😀

The first graphic novel I wrote on goes to print this week!! Sooooo psyched 🥳🥳🥳

Big week for me legally releasing some of the hate in my heart ☺️ www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"I can't afford to buy an indie #ttrpg, so I can't play them!" This is your reminder that almost every single indie designer i know will just send you a copy if you email them and say "hey, I can't afford your game right now but i want to check it out!"

what an icon

i hate to be that girl but we're gonna need to really quickly move past complaining that everything is "unconstitutional" or whatever and start talking about what we are actually going to do to materially resist fascist attacks and defend marginalized communities. laws are fake. lives are real.

If you're feeling like you'd like to use the Blades On The Dark ruleset to roleplay systematically murdering the corrupt racist oligarchs that oppress you and those around you, may I humbly suggest playing the City Of Red Waters with the River crew playbook?

The fundamental thread to trans people is not psychological in nature. It is legislative and material. Via Kai Cheng Thom on IG www.instagram.com/p/DFEM8qiySx...

alright you wanna know how to support trans people? hire them. It's REALLY hard already for visibly trans people to get jobs, even before this shit. Support places that have trans people working front of house, and make sure owners know that's part of why you're there.

Inverrouge is a city that can't escape its colonial past. The Lord Governor rules, but the monied heads of the Inverrouge Company pull the strings. It's a seething cauldron of decadence, ambition, and monstrosity. Will you try to get ahead? Or bring it all down. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

@scishow.bsky.social - it looks like the hrt video is being discussed again. I wrote the following on twitter originally; I hope it’s something that you can respond to.

posting isn't praxis! we can't post our way to liberation!

You know what I have zero fucking patience for these days? Friendly fire from trans people at trans people, and especially body shaming or mean girl-type shit. It is twenty fucking twenty five. We are facing a global goddamned pogrom. We need ✨community✨ right now, to support each other.

Thinking of trans people today, the attacks and bigotry they'll endure over these years, and the failure of mainstream media and greater society to behave with decency and offer support to the marginalized. We must be brave, take action, and listen to those who ask for help, for the good of us all.

This is what I was just talking about a few days ago.

A bit miffed that a lot of the game writing discourse I see still avoids the elephant in the room, aka: the English language as its obligatory baseline. Not only as the tool we all have to use, but also English (US) being the the only valid aesthetic framework for what is considered quality.

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

And, in case you’ve forgotten from the first go-round, two other points never to forget: 1. Trump and his aides often lie. 2. Trump and his appointees often screw things up.

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.
