What TTRPG designer would you like to hear GM a one-shot of their own game?

(Bonus question: who would be the coolest special guest player for that one-shot?)

Which is to say, Iโ€™m unbelievably thrilled to say this morning Iโ€™ve signed a contract with @mitpress.bsky.social for the trade publication of my next book, an exploration of the first two decades of TTRPG Actual Play.

I know google results are skewed by the person searching, but this is what I see when I googled Street Wolves out of curosity.

Congrats to @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social for being at the very top in that google summary thing and to Savage Goose for having his video up there.

Truly the end of an era.

If youโ€™ve never listened to Planet Arcana, now is a good time to start.

If youโ€™ve listened to every episode of Planet Arcana, now is a good time to run in back :)

There exists an almost imperceptible zone on the podcast scale where a pod has a perfect amount of jokes (which are actually funny) and a heaping helping of plot/gameplay/heartfelt moments. Planet Arcana lives with so few others within that zone.

2009 was also the year i graduated high school so i suddenly had a bunch of time to go down this rabbit hole, i had developed a love of horror in high school, and i was just old enough for it to hit. anyway i've never met anyone else who watched it

i watched MH air live in 2009, and i had never seen anything like it. it was the first time i was watching someone use youtube the medium to its fullest, they were altering videos that had already aired to reflect changes later in the season, the villain was commenting on the videos, it rocked
