Reminder that @valiantdorian.bsky.social and @pmakesthings.bsky.social are about to launch a campaign for a bold new project in game design and actual play.
It's really cool and they will need your support!

Today it has sold 13,700 copies.
My publisher considers it a failure. I want to do another but it's hard to convince editorial that people will come out for it.
I forgot, apologies. Credentials.

a weird guy
Posted a weird guy on my patreon, support me so that I can be less discouraged by my art career or something.
I had one more Pokemon post in me: Today I took a look at the implied setting of Kanto and what we can learn from it for our settings #osr #pokemon #ttrpgs

Run Vileplume in a dueling-table format at a con both trying to speed run this. Whomever are faster end up the new poke dungeon league champions and must defend it at the end from the others. Participants get shiny event poke's they can play as in future games, true champs get super hidden machines.
Catch ‘Em All while you can! In commemoration of the 30th anniversary, I’m heistfunding a Poképocalyptic game based on Into the Odd. I call it INTO THE ODDISH!
You can pre-order it now (until ???)

It's been a couple years since Reach of the Roach God was published, and I'm still thinking about how it pulled off stat blocks without stats.
It's a load-bearing piece of tech that's criminally underused.

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.
Throw your blogger a chainsaw, a polearm, or just a vote. Either way....
I figured folks would submit for all matchups/brackets, but looks like. a quarter of voters dropped off by the time they got to Meta. I wonder how much difference we might see if the categories were flip-flopped for voting or article listings? (2/2)
Absolutely anyone's game here. Posts winning by a single vote. Also, very interesting to see the trend of declining total votes. (1/2)
Where if pointless counter-point crawl?
Any chance for number of votes in addition to percents for round 2 in review? Some of those were razor's edge close. I'd love to see which came down to a single vote or two.
This was the day i fully locked into O/U as a game and a project. The entries are fuller, we're balancing boardwork and gameplay, and the team has come together.
Wrote about why I think writing in networks deserves all the love it’s been getting lately.

Finished migrating my (albeit small) blog over to itch, and have a couple things to say about Loaded Dice. farlsthegm.itch.io/blog/devlog/...
🚨VALUABLE CONTEXT ALERT🚨
That this account (by Jay, who has a vested interest in portraying herself well) is still somehow fairer to all parties; less muddled around numbers and chronology; and *less editorialised* than the initial journalistic scoop says a lot about how this story was handled.
It should also be pointed out that WGA representation can't be just for Video Games. People who make ttrpgs are literally creating games that studios want for IP. SFWA values us, if WGA takes us in, the Union only gets stronger. 🤷🏾
So you think you can dance?

I kinda want to run a hexcrawl on a desert planet that's the wild west + warhammer 40k, with small settlements, Imperial Guard forts, ork raiders, inquisition gunslingers.
It'd be some fun OSR hack (Violence. with modifications?), or something like that
A black notebook with a spiral across the top. On the front, "Gladden" (the brand), "Paper Apps" (what they're called), and "Galaxy" (the name of the notebook game). Beside the notebook is a small white pencil with dots on each side (like the pips of a die)
A purple notebook with a spiral across the top. On the front, "Gladden" (the brand), "Paper Apps" (what they're called), and "Dungeon" (the name of the notebook game). Beside the notebook is a small white pencil with dots on each side (like the pips of a die)
A yellow notebook with a spiral across the top. On the front, "Gladden" (the brand), "Paper Apps" (what they're called), and "Golf" (the name of the notebook game). Beside the notebook is a small white pencil with dots on each side (like the pips of a die)
ARRIVING NEXT FRIDAY: Paper Apps by @brin.town
📝
Tiny notebooks filled with old-school roll-and-write puzzles - a space-exploring adventure, a classic dungeon crawl, and lil golf game (plus each comes with a mini d6 pencil, yes those are pips and we LOVE IT)
TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.
