Someone asked: "So... public domain cosmic horrors that aren't Lovecraft. What do we got?" The tradition that gave us Lovecraft & co. is rich and deeply weird. While they aren't all cosmic horror, they all informed it. So. 1 like = 1 public domain weird story that isn't by H. P. Lovecraft.

I know there's dozens of things to contact reps about every single day, but today please contact them about keeping USPS independent. Privatizing USPS would be devastating for so many reasons, but personally it would destroy my small business if I can't have affordable/accessible service. 5calls.org

This is painfully accurate.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

This is simple, but when I feel stuck on projects, it's often because my eyes are going in different directions about all the things I need to do. Something that helps me is to slow down. Make a list, prioritize and order it. Then, just do the next thing. And the next thing. And the next thing.

People want stories. We are drawn to the story in art. We pause and spend time with a painting until we find the joy in each brushstroke. In that moment we see the artist and storyteller like a wizard behind the curtain. That is absent in gen ai. Go be that storyteller. Go be human and create.

Can’t wait for sunnier days

Less than a hundred bucks away from $2k on my noir TTRPG! kck.st/3WQKAkZ #zinequest #ttrpgs #zinemonth #filmnoir

Oof. My comp/indesign crashed 7 times today while I was doing a few design tweaks. Looks like my poor 10-year-old iMac reached its obsolescence. If anyone wants to share my Kickstarter to make needing a new computer less painful... that would be awesome: kck.st/3WQKAkZ

STAND YOUR GROUND

Investigate the streets of Orpheus in my new film noir-inspired TTRPG, STREETLIGHTS & SHADOWS! kck.st/3WQKAkZ #zinequest #ttrpg #zinemonth

I get that a lot of people don’t like to read, which encourages reliance on ChatGPT and TikTok - but “aversion to reading” has been an issue for basically forever, and I believe that instead of just giving up, we should still be strongly encouraging people to read, because it’s good for society

My dear friend Kiki and her weird, amazing cats need our help if you can. They’ve contracted bird flu and things are rough. She’s one of my favorites and could use any well wishes too. 💔❤️

Ugh. I’m really struggling to push forward and be motivated. Picked a bad time to be promoting one of my games that’s most precious to me.

I've been looking through my collection of fantasy RPG PDFs looking for a game to play. During this process I found a few things I'd like to share with TTRPG designers. Like all free advice, it's probably not worth the price of the pixels it's written in. Nevertheless, here are my observations. 1/8

YOU MUST TOUCH SOMETHING SOFT TO HAVE STRENGTH TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES.

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

The Kickstarter for our Soulslike, roguelike story TTRPG is currently at 97%. Every bit of support counts! The digital-only tier is pay-what-you-want. And sharing the link is free. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...

I'm pretty happy with how the art for the police badges in Orpheus turned out. I wanted to bring some greek/deco touches to it. Streetlights & Shadows my #zinequest project is live now on Kickstarter! kck.st/3WQKAkZ #zimo #zinemonth

With so many #ttrpg crowdfunds launching in 2025, it can be hard to keep up, so let’s start sharing our projects for #ttrpgteaser! - Like & reskeet this post - Showcase your projects below - Strictly no GenAI 🚫 #Kickstarter #BackerKit #GameFound #selfpromosaturday #ZineMonth #ZiMo #Pocketopia

Well.. I launched this. On a Saturday night during an ice storm. Because noir detectives don't launch projects on Tuesday mornings. it's VERY near and dear to my heart. I hope you'll check it out. kck.st/3WQKAkZ #zinequest #ttrpg

"Video games should be hard!" No, video games should be engaging. Difficulty is one way to engage a player, but it's not the only way, nor is it always the best way. There is a space for ultra difficult games. I enjoy many. But it's not the be-all, end-all.

RELISH IN THE SCREAMS OF YOUR ENEMIES! DO YOU HAVE MEDICINE YOU NEED TO TAKE?

Dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done is my next RPG.

Smörkhammer, my skirmish madhouse game built on Forbidden Psalm is going to have an option for a 2-player boxed set in the Kickstarter. I know meeples are kind of an outlier with skirmish games, but I cannot wait to see how this does when it launches.

Well.... smörk it. After a lot of thought, I have decided to cancel and relaunch Smörkhammer. www.kickstarter.com/projects/squ...

I ALWAYS support this bundle - it's wonderfully curated and always has some absolute GEMS for an amazing price.

⚪️ Never played a skirmish game. ⚪️ Not the biggest Smurfs fan. *sees pretty blocks and art* OMG I WANT!!!

Does he think he can put them all on a military plane to Transylvania or something?
