Attention: @infinata.bsky.social It's the original, not the special edition with the moustaches removed!

Happy Traveller Day! If you want to get started with the latest edition of the original sci-fi #ttrpg, there is a Bundle of Holding happening right now that will get you all the rulebook PDFs that you need for as low as US$18! bundleofholding.com/presents/202...

Another one. #gamedev #layoff kotaku.com/respawn-layo...

We're getting pizza and I'm obsessed with this slightly broken mural that used to be about eating with your hands but now it reads like Saruman's manifesto

The Long Dark is on sale for US$3.50 on Steam until May 1! I love this game, and developer @hinterland.bsky.social so much. Engaging survival and exploration, beautiful art style, and unique "quiet apocalypse" setting in the Canadian wilderness! store.steampowered.com/app/305620/T...

Because it's great and people will want to see it multiple times.

Lots of useful techniques here for other kinds of #ttrpg that don't label themselves as "mystery" games. Plenty of mysteries to unravel in a dungeon or on an abandoned space station!

In case you missed it... WIRED talked to *actual* federal auditors about how government auditing works—and how DOGE is doing the opposite.

I had a ton of fun in this conversation!

Love me some space horror! But that love comes with an impossibly high bar to clear. My take on @sean.tuesdayknightgames.com 's Mothership, which has taken me *way too long* to work through (the take, not the game).

I saw #Sinners again and it's still resonating with me—such a powerful blend of #HauntedWest themes that weaves together history, horror, and hard truths. To celebrate this remarkable film (and stand against attempts to silence it), I give you a Sinners Sale! #TTRPG #BlackOwnedBusiness

Come join is in the chat!

I don't know why Hasbro decided to make ROM so sexy but here we are.

This is how science works, and why it is so powerful.

The ILM previz team was also excited that Wilson was chosen to attend George's Summit. We could not have asked for a better voice for the potential advances preproduction that we were experimenting with.

What's this? A new Blu-ray edition of Double Fine PsychOdyssey? That's right! Let Tim break down the features of this fresh edition of our hit docu-series. It's great for collectors and especially for anyone who missed out on the original. Buy at: fangamer.com/products/psychodyssey-blu-ray

I had a chance to attend this awesome panel in person at GaryCon. Don't be put off by the click-baity title, it's a fun and interesting discussion of the #osr and #ttrpg landscape. Worth a watch! Plus, I got to talk to @bradkerr.net, Kelsey Dionne, and Yochai Gal after! youtu.be/xIyG9lqY20g?...

Two great tastes!

"It is with great enthusiasm that we announce Starfleet’s commitment to moving beyond so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives and embracing a post-bias future where everything is fine and no one needs to think too hard about it."

Two different presidential approaches to supporting small businesses and entrepreneurship.

1d8 Dangerous Techno-Relics, because sometimes, the loot has to be worth fighting for. Some items will alter the setting. Some will alter the map.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested
