Reminds me a little of this @egorodriguez.com piece that’s always deeply amused me.

Some light spring reading, now that it’s warm enough outside to relax on my back deck. #ttrpg

This is not a game, or even a genre, I’m generally interested in. But this review is a compelling piece of writing that drew me right in and taught me a few things despite that. Totally worth a read.

Picked up Portal for the first time in years on a lark last night, this time on the Deck. That game is fun. I know I’m already playing a bunch of games, but maybe I’ll casually make my way thru Portal 1 & 2 again as well…

What I thought would be a cozy mech farming game had a mechanical twist that I never expected! Mechs Into Plowshares is a game I will be thinking about for a long time. Read it at Skeleton Code Machine (spoiler warnings included): www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/chaplains-...

Remember when people used to speak of RPG Maker derisively? It's responsible for so many foundational works now. Without it, no Yume Nikki. No Lisa. No To The Moon or Oneshot. And now we're getting stuff like Fear & Hunger, Omori, Look Outside. All because one Russian pirate with a Spanish handle.

Dandadan episode 7 is way more emotionally devastating than a show involving ghosts who steal penises should ever be.

Gang, @rascalnews.bsky.social is so good that I've already rec'd seven articles in this thread and I'M STILL IN JANUARY. WHERE MY READING STARTED. I think Rascal might be my favourite website??

It cannot be overstated how quickly Bsky went from “it’s like Twitter circa 2012 :)” to “it’s like Twitter circa 2020 :(“ for me.

My brain is so tired. Spent the morning wrapping up some work on Junker’s Peace, did some prep for next weekend’s fae-nciful D&D session, caught up on some @rascalnews.bsky.social reading, and then a couple hours of research on [redacted] for the co-write. I think I need a nap 😅

I usually don't have @rascalnews.bsky.social logged in on mobile, so I tend to read their articles en masse at my laptop every couple months. I'm doing that again today, starting with this really cool profile of a TTRPG event adapting Octavia Butler's Parables duology with the Fate system.

The moment people I don't know start replying to a post with even 1% of this energy, I just straight up delete it. It's not worth the hassle.

I have, at long last, finished a first pass of the players’ side of my ttrpg JUNKER’S PEACE! Fuck me, does that feel like an achievement. 🕺

In a world where big Hollywood companies can vanish movies & shows into oblivion… I don’t mind a creative getting control of the rights to a movie a couple decades after it comes out, not at ALL.

Saw someone asking $150 for the complete series of Dante’s Cove on Poshmark and….. oh honey, noooooo.

Very proud of myself for the progress I've made on my ttrpg JUNKER'S PEACE the last two weeks in the mornings before work. The draft has grown in leaps and bounds, with a lot of mechanics springing to life. I have one section left to write before I'll have completed my first major milestone!
