With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

New game idea just dropped, courtesy of Loki the cat and his antics (plus @chaffeecj.bsky.social's input)

Rolling closer and closer to our goal of 200 backers, folks! Let’s goooo! 😤 #ttrpg #ZiMo

I've made a few one-page TTRPGs, one of which earned an ENNIE nomination. So I wrote a guide to encourage and help others create their own one-page games. Covers everything from generating ideas to publishing online. Make your own one-page TTRPG: exeuntpress.itch.io/one-page-rpg #ttrpg #solorpg

the goal of owning a computer is to acquire as many PDFs as possible

Live now, I'm playing No Man's Sky, and fishing! Also, we have @luckoftheharbor.com here, and may have more friends in the future. Tune in!

Trees: Tapped. I hope we did it right lol, but I guess we'll find out over the week.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

If you have a worldbuilding medieval-esque project, if you like solo games, if you need neighborhood-scale maps for a city, then Ex Novo is the tool for you. https://buff.ly/3Xt2omH #ttrpg #worldbuilding

Please go help the Baltimore Street Medic collective put on a training this spring!

Instead of pleading with people who use AI art, I wonder what happens if we shift to mocking them. Make AI art embarrassing.

I bought the one of these I didn't already own. I stand with my trans siblings, whether they are trying to leave or staying.

ICYMI Duellists, my d6 pool, rules light ttrpg released yesterday! Duellists draws inspiration from the illuminated manuscripts of the 15th and 16th centuries, with the game itself inspired by the writing of sword masters from central Europe! Check it out today! #ttrpg

I'm starting doula training in March for certification this year! Excited to be learning formally again. Expect pregnancy/reproductive health-themed TTRPG content as I work through my course load. 🤣

I simply do not understand why my 2-player TTRPG explicitly about femme for femme romance that requires lighting 20 matches each and looks like a junk journal isn't selling. I thought I had y'all pegged. If you play this game with your partner, you could have each other pegged. #tittyrpgjam

wrote an article for my patreon about a new safety tool i've invented called THE PALETTE GRID, where i also get into my issues with lines & veils and how i go about solving them www.patreon.com/posts/122477...

Happy Friday! A little late putting this one out, but here's today's #Febrewary entry for Magical Mount: The Vines that Connect Us

Resharing this #TTRPG blog I wrote back in November, as I am seeing a number of fellow creatives expressing similar sentiments as the ones that drove me to write this in the 1st place. No, your art probably can't stop fascism. BUT, it can make you & others happy- which IS needed to fight fascism

ENDLESS BLOODFIELDS OF PSYCHIC MALICE - OUT NOW! ahcoffeebeans.itch.io/psychic-malice

Amazon is taking away our ability to download/backup the files of ebooks we've bought. You can bet this is part of a plan to remove books from our kindle libraries. If you as an author want your ebooks to stay in the hands of the readers who bought them, you'll want them to buy outside AMZ

Hey hey! I'm not co-hosting today (I'm stuck at work) but it would mean a lot if you all tuned into @upturnedtable.bsky.social Weekly. www.youtube.com/live/yL40PIm...

An inspiring article on courageous community college leaders who are *publicly* organizing and standing up against DEI attacks.. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

If you're trying to figure out what to do right now, my advice is to just pick a thing that you think might be useful in some way, however small, and do it. Doing a thing leads you to doing another, bigger thing, and prepares you for that next thing.
