if youre not a woman & u publish games you can still call it trans-owned. it youre currently not a woman and not trans ......... its not too late!

"What are you trying to do?" is *so* important. Also: I see pointless, zero-stakes rolls in APs all the time. Roll with intention and an obvious *downside*. Makes every game better.

Very thorough blogpost by Yochai on how to run a West Marches (or any wilderness travel-heavy) game as a pointcrawl instead of a hexmap.

The amulet hates it when I blow weed smoke in its eye

Hadestown finally came to australia OMG it was amazing. Cant believe i could finally see it live after so long

I watch a lot of rpg youtube and ive started to recognise the intro of a dscryb sponsor segment and can now skip it before the ad read even starts

Binged all the blades of gixa videos and have been thinking of playing shadowdark so i started drawing my own dungeon obviously

Finally able to back this and IM SO EXCITED AAAA

Does anyone have good strategies for when you dont have motivation to write ?

It's very hard to act normal right now. Please be safe, US friends

Finally got some session prep time, feels so good to put pen to paper and do some little map drawings after so much time focusing on work.

I am so hooked on Spiritfarer

Work has been taking so much out of me lately i feel like i don’t have enough energy to write anything on my big weeks 😔 but ive got a couple things to look forward to at the end of the week so i just have to last til then

I was so excited for hyper light breaker but some of the design choices in this game are genuinely crazy. Everything does a lot of damage and you can only get a medkit from a perk you have to buy and it takes 2 out of 3 perk slots

OH MY GOD!!!!!!

My bestie is on bluesky now go check out his art !!!

Normalize giving me things for free like a stick of gum or $10,000

INLAND EMPIRE - Why should we just leave and leave -- and the world get left behind?

I wish i didnt have to work so i could read blogs and watch movies all day like god intended
