Got to attend the Gundam Next Future Final event in Tokyo! Saw previews of upcoming product lines, the Gunpla world championships, and Gundam Assemble models!

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

hey folks. I know money is tight all over, but it has been a time of great health costs for me lately (plus taxes, minus some delayed income). so if you’re interested in my games they’re currently 40% off (or you can grab everything I’ve ever published for just $40). cheers! itch.io/s/148351/40-...

Oh also, shout outs to the Realis Moon Jam! itch.io/jam/realis-m...

An Ashcan release of Realis, the TTRPG that I've been working on (and off and on) for the last four years is now available for preorder! thecalcutec.itch.io/realis

"No, but." "Yes, and." Friends, the conjunction that has brought the most power to my games is not "but" or "and." It's "because." "Yes, because" and "No, because" are powerful. They are grounded in the fiction, they /establish/ meaning. They are just harder to wield and require more consensus.

forget about your most millennial take, I wanna hear your most ancient necromancer trapped for eternity in the body of a crow by a spiteful hag take

oh - no shit? damn. should we like, do something about it?

In the works, an update of the Ironsworn Lodestar Reference Guide. The essential moves, mechanics, and oracles of Ironsworn, in a pay-what-you-want format. This new version will (finally!) incorporate Ironsworn: Delve content. Plus a few new surprises! Such as maybe an awesome new Ironlands map? 👀

“Game design has no obligation to cater to people who don’t buy into the premise of the game.”

A monster steals brides on their wedding nights. Two rivals are the only people powerful enough to stop it. Neither are prepared for the sparks and blood that will fly. The Vow is a 300 page queer, erotic horror, dark fantasy graphic novel. You can buy it digitally now: 🔞🌹⚔️ arden.itch.io/the-vow
