This framing of uniqueness with respect to other games as their most valuable aspect reinforces a structural perpective on game design that should be criticized a bit. Game design becomes a matter of looking at the field and identifying lack, rather than an individual creative expression

I’m ready for Rifts: Japan.
I watched that Angine de Poitrine video with the 1 year old and during one of the guitar solos she went "yes... yes!" and raised her fists
Wow, Happy Birthday Tsutomu Nihei!
BLAME! was a huge inspiration on Twisting Unseen in editing rewrites, and the crowdfund is in its final day!
Once more with feeling!
Maybe a good inspiration for the crossover reward?
The first paragraph reads: "A liminal zone where digital technology has broken down the physical mass of reality. Naturally, Dimensia has stitched itself to all such places. Punks and heroes alike stumble through the digital thresholds in darkened alleyways to this interstitial semiplane." Title: "D8 doors to the dead internet" A list of 8 doors and a graphic of very old macintosh desktop computer window frame showing a spooky endless hall with a strange cartoon monkey The right side of the page shows a line drawing of a monkey god, Hannuman, with some monkey followers at its feet, followed by a description of monkeys roaming the back halls and tempt wage slaves to leave their dull existences behind
This year for #Zinetopia, I am doing a crossover reward with my coconspirator @wilderwhim.bsky.social for people who back both of our campaigns. Here is a little taste of what we are brewing. It will be the IT backrooms of a virtual resort, with sterile bureaucracy crossed with cosmic horror
Tomorrow is the last day to back Dead Internet Theory! Help us hit the next stretch goal, a glitched virtual Heaven retirement community depth crawl in the heart of an alien machines dream

Prévisualisation numérique du livret de MOON BORG. Sur un fond jaune, un montage numérique de la couverture dessinée par Léa Casanova. En noir, blanc et jaune. Un personnage, les yeux fermés et aux traits féminins porte un couvre chef floral (ou solaire). Il se couvre la poitrine de ses mains. L'une possède des anneaux, l'autre un gantelet médiéval aux plaques d'aciers menaçantes.
Hey! Francophone qui passe par là ! MOON BORG est à 360% et à 500%, j'imprime également une version physique en français.
Je te laisse la couverture magnifique illustrée par Léa Casanova et un lien pour creuser le sujet si ta curiosité est titillée.

Brains as hosts for AI computers is a big part of my #ZineMonth project Dead Internet Theory. To be honest, I can’t remember if I read the fan theory first or came up with the idea on my own. There are also actual labs researching this. Anyway there is a resonance for me with the Matrix’s mythology.
There is a fan theory origin story for the robot overlords in the Matrix movies. Originally, the Matrix used humans, not as a power source, but for their brains as processors. It makes more sense in a hard science way, but the studio thought it was too complicated so it was taken out.
I was interviewed on the Talk of the Table podcast by @brianflaherty.bsky.social and @moreblueberries.bsky.social about my #Zinemonth project Dead Internet Theory, listen to it here!
My Cy_borg adventure module Dead Internet Theory is being featured on this stream!
Do you like caveman stuff? Do you like free stuff? I just made an adventure for Year 100 Million B.C.

So... My cover piece for DEAD INTERNET THEORY...
How it started and how it ended...

We been cooking up some dark jams to create TPKs to~
Dead Internet Theory is funding now as part of Zinetopia!

They are also writing an album for my project Dead Internet Theory, with a physical CD as a stretch goal. It turns out that a lot of the band are electronic musicians, which feels like part of the perfect concoction to Cy_borg’s heavy metal infused version of cyberpunk.
Listen to the demos here!
There are a handful of Mork Borg adventure modules that have an accompanying metal album by now. One of them is Pulvis et Umbra by @wilderwhim.bsky.social, a final delve in the liminal ephemeral pocket dimension at the end of the world. Its soundtrack is a post-metal shoegaze soundscape.
Stonetop is one of the most awaited & anticipated #TTRPGs of the last decade. Our team is excited to partner with Jeremy, Jason & Lucie to get it into your hands and out to the world!
If you missed the crowdfunding project, presales have now moved to the Plus One site at

There is a similar mechanic in Dungeon World where you roll the largest damage die once and each additional attacker adds +1 damage. That might work better?

My webstore heycentaur.com is finally up!
This took so many months of labour (mostly my partner’s), but it is all ready and running.
Physical copies of Kala Mandala are now available, shipping to most of the world.
