I’ve been contemplating a “west marches” style of ongoing game for flexibility, but also making it like Quantum Leap so we can have tie-ins and loose continuity even when playing completely different systems. Am I crazy? Has anyone had luck doing something like that?

The moment when you realize that your company’s IT security training might actually make a good module for that silly ttrpg you’ve been designing in your spare time.

I’m late to the game. I only discovered LUMEN a few months ago. I’ve been drawing inspiration from LUMEN games left and right the last couple months, and it has helped me break past several mental blocks I had with the way I run games. I can’t wait to see what comes next.

“I’ll be back. I have to take the kids to their dentist lessons.” It took me a few minutes to realize why that didn’t sound right.

This got me thinking - I have two modes for naming things: 1. Short puns or fun words that capture the spirit of the project 2. Project names that could easily be the titles of isekai anime The more embarrassing it is to say in a status report to senior leadership, the better.

How many times have you had to listen to “Steve’s Lava Chicken” today? I’m up to at least 20 that I can actively recall. It was a fun movie, but why did it have to hit so hard with all the catchy music. I can’t…

I am a responsible adult and definitely did not just buy a bronze octopus candle holder because it would make a great set piece for a nautical-themed one-shot I want to run. No. Clearly it’s for Thanksgiving.

Last night I started hacking at a game idea that’s been stuck in my head for the past month. Using Caltrop Core by @titanomachyrpg.com, I’m shocked at how quickly I went from a basic concept to a (really rough) playable game. I have no clue what I’m doing, and I’m loving it.

Shadowdark was fun. My first 0-level gauntlet saw 3 deaths within the first chamber of the dungeon. By the end of the session, the players said they were expecting it to be worse. I mean… okay! If you insist.

First workout of the 2025 this morning, and it was rough. Only made it 20 of 30 minutes and cut some sets short because I was getting sloppy. I’m in pretty terrible shape. Still, I’m back at it. Just need to stop getting distracted and make the time.

My partner and I tried a new sleep routine last night, and comparing how we felt this morning I referenced “but for me, it was a Tuesday”. She has never experienced the 90s Street Fighter movie. And now I have our next movie night planned.

This bundle is full of amazing talent, and it’s supporting an organization that is doing some really cool things for accessibility in gaming. I’m unreasonably excited this allowed me to get copies of Glitter Hearts, Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast, and Sentinel (and many others) while staying in budget.

I’ve finally got my first D&D game of 2025 on the books for later this week, and I almost have my first ShadowDark one-shot scheduled a couple weeks out. And roughly six other games on my list that I want to run this year, but let’s focus on one at a time. This is going to be fun.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Feb 19: Q: Why is so much Black music about violence and misogyny? I'm not racist, but is Black culture just more violent? A: Racism. Rap, trap, and drill, are only the most popular genres of Black music listened to by white people. Read the whole linked thread.

OK y'all gotta admit that it's funny, not ha-ha funny but still funny, that there's a person at the NSA right now trying to figure out how to comply with an anti-woke order to delete any materials that contain the word "privilege" when so many computer security docs talk about "privilege escalation"

I’m going to need indie ttrpg devs to chill. Y’all are making too many cool things right now. I can’t keep up, and neither can my wallet. Seriously, though, it’s so hard to be picky. Y’all are so talented. I’d back every new project if I could.
