Riding the post-UK Games Expo slump into the pre-Voidspace Live excitement (I've ended up with a nicely eclectic set of shows!)

I'm trying not to be too envious of everyone's UKGE hauls 😂 I have plenty of games on the to-play shelf already, and I was there to run RPGs and spend time with friends, not to shop. Still: all your shiny new things so pretty 🤩

free yourself from the chains of taxonomy and stop identifying as the configuration in which you have intercourse as if it's a personality. you are not a top or a bottom or a switch. you are a daishō of Oda Nobunaga and the treacherous dog Akechi Mitsuhide has just arrived at Honnōji with his troops

Bibliocalypse at UKGE 2025. The False Librarian struck out the concepts of Colour and Underneath, erasing them from the world. Two Rogue Linguists took the fight to him, destroying the last fragment of his phylactery by Objectifying his shapely pins

Alright team, I need help. There was a stall at UKGE in Hall 3 selling keyrings for Spirit (Dreamworks), Bluey, and Help I'm a Fish. I have been looking at the interactive map for ages to try and figure out which stall it was (I didn't take a card, there was a lot of pink) but I can't find it 😭

Why is it not obvious that you shouldn't run 5 minutes of ads before your 90 second trailer 😂

So for the 3 days of UKGE I'm going to need a folk horror look, a Gothic literature look, and a librarian look (to go with the games I'm running) www.foggyoutline.com/appearances

So we're remaking a scene that shocked gamers, that put them through all the stages of grief, sent them scouring the early web for ways to avoid or undo it, that made people feel they'd lost a friend. So what do we want gamers to feel about our new version? Hear me out ......... ambivalence

genuinely impossible to narrow down the most important (to me) audio dramas to 5, but this was a good moment of reflecting that few pieces of art have had a bigger influence on my life than @nightvaleradio.bsky.social anyway everyone in AD should vote in this www.leftofdialmedia.com/voting-form-...

If you would like to know what it is like living as trans right now: I cannot think of a single week in the last 5 and a half years since I transitioned where a politician, celebrity, government or public figure of some prominence hasn't attacked trans people. It is constant. Never-ending.

Indie creators and devs! Mike (and I) want to work with you! 😁 If you hold open auditions, where do you usually post them? Social media? Casting sites? A roster or casting director? Do you reach out to actors directly? Do actors reach out to you?

Starting a new Merely Roleplayers production today! VIGIL is like if Buffy was set in the small town from Hot Fuzz; in VIGIL: SHADOWFALL, people's shadows are getting kidnapped. If you don't cast a shadow, are you really there? pca.st/episode/5388...

Just a reminder that the Heartglass Trailer is live, and if you haven't checked it out, what the hell are you doing that's 90 seconds long and better than this?

Whenever I tell people about new blockbuster larps or immersive theatre, they often lament they always hear about them too late – so here's something that isn't sold out: Voidspace Live, a lo-fi festival of interactive theatre, games, larp, and playable art happening in London on 7-8 June 2025!
