The Olive Garden-sponsored movie Chef's Kiss somehow doesn't involve Olive Garden, so we broke down our own Olive Garden rom com IN an Olive Garden while ENJOYING an Olive Garden meal.
I promise the podcast doesn't usually sound like this.

Mario and his girlfriend Daniella from the live action Super Mario Bros. movie. They're at an Italian restaurant. Daniella is a pretty white woman with curly black hair wearing a low cut black dress. Mario is played by Bob Hoskins; he has a moustache and is slightly balding and is wearing a brown jacket and a dark shirt with a popped collar. Both are wearing non descript necklaces.
Bob Hoskins Mario and Big Bertha dancing in the live action Mario Bros. Movie. Big Bertha is a black woman nearly a foot taller than Mario. Mario is wearing a bizarre yellow leisure suit with yellow gloves. They are in a night club.
She's great. Really. I hope she finds happiness. But she's standing in the way of the movie's best ship.

When I was
A young boy
I dreamed of making video games.
Turns out, I don't know how to do that. I don't just mean I don't know how to code, I mean I discovered I have no sense for designing levels, etc. But I did have a slight knack for coming up with a cool central mechanic.
Every RPG is a one-page RPG if you only read one page of it

Promoting indie TTRPGs as penance for making a DnD thing:
Fish Out of Water!
Those Who Swim (you know, mermaids) have legs for three days so you they can complete their business on land. But they don't have a phone, money, nor have they ever seen a dog before.

Impromptu live stream planned for night! 9:30 pm Central US time on TikTok, Twitch and YouTube!

It's LIIIIIVE! (Again!)
The first hours are crucial! If you pledge in the first 48 hours, I'll send you an ashcan/demo version of the game for no extra charge! Work together as a crew to race giant vehicles across the world! Win fabulous prizes!

If you pledge for Galleons of the Thunderosa in the first 48 hours, I'll send you a plain text ashcan/demo/quickstart version of the game rules! I'm launching in the next couple of days, so if you wanna get in on the ground floor, follow the project on Backerkit!
www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
The Kickstarter campaign for Galleons of the Thunderosa was plagued by bots and some other issues, so I've moved it over to Backerkit!
But, I can't launch a Backerkit campaign without followers, so I need your help! Please click that button!

Hank from Roleplay Retcon's Pixels series. Blonde white guy wearing a blue shirt, khakis, and sneakers with three triangles on them. Dongle, a floating microchip looking thing with an eye and a mouth sort of, is saying Hello hank. Hank seem surprised and wary. Hank is wearing a single strap bag and is crouched
Happy 40th Zelda Anniversary from Hank for no reason in particular!
Day 10 promoting an indie TTRPG for zine month as penance for doing a DnD thing:
Dragonfly Motel by @blackfiskpub.bsky.social! Live your Twin Peaks-style fantasies by concocting meandering dreams together! The PDF tier is pay-what-you-want!
www.kickstarter.com/projects/bla...
Today is my 40th birthday, and I just launched Galleons of the Thunderosa for #zinequest! Race cross-country on giant vehicles operated by your whole #DnD party!
(Pretty sure the guy who pledged $1000 is a bot, so I'm not even close to funded!)
www.kickstarter.com/projects/ben...
I dig the (PENANACE-BASED) shout out. Suffer for your crime!
... however ...
Galleons of the Thunderosa looks pretty fuckin' fun! Imagine feeding adventurers into a giant living dungeon to get it to race faster so you can be the first to eat that delicious sun! First hack is already written. DIBS!
Oh shit
I worked really hard to make it look like I didn't work hard on my Kickstarter video for Galleons of the Thunderosa, please watch it, I'm so clever and funny
I had a lot of fun doing this except when I didn't
Yes this last note is so important! Sometimes a well GMd session is helpful for new players but pick-up-and-play oneshots, in my experience, open even very inexperienced players up to the possibility of *making* a game
Saw a Youtuber say "I have a Patreon, if you're interested" and we've decided to take another approach.
If you need something to tide you over between Trial by Fieri, how about an Ocarina of Time Randomizer run that isn't quite as good but still pretty good?
