Focusing on independent #dndisnotforme #ttrpg design.
New #ttrpg acquisitions, some of which I got back at #metatopia 2025.
#Metatopia 2025 report: I ran 3 sessions of our very new, drafty but playable and fun dream rules for the Grit System with @oddgobgrasso.bsky.social
We had a ton of fun and learned a lot. Focusing on character creation as part of gameplay, which really seems to matter for modern-setting games.
#Metatopia was a good time but I feel I could have done more and made more connections. Goals for next year.
A Lego bit. A yellow translucent code topped by a red jewel
Hey #Metatopia I found this Lego bit on a chair in the Hyatt lobby bar. I’ll leave it at the Launch Pad.
Swinging by #Metatopia tonight to pick up my badge, then enjoying some diverse playtesting tomorrow. Good times.
... the games I will not get to try, so that I can revisit them later and/or try to contact authors.
I am looking forward to playtesting all of these games - thanks to all the designers, many of whom first-timers, for such interesting options! 👏

Signed up for my #Metatopia games today, and @vidityavoleti.bsky.social blocked me from getting into Bloodbeam Badlands.
The complete #METATOPIA Panel, Seminar & Workshop is now posted!

Me: I think I'm mostly over the surgical grief.
My brain: hey so about that I special-ordered these dreams where your uterus is a homunculus of you and she gave these phenomenal panels at #Intercon and #Magfest and even attended in your place at #Metatopia and everyone loved her, is that OK?
Another excellent game just opened on Kickstarter: "Defy the Gods" by the talented @hecticelectron.bsky.social !
I tried this at Metatopia, and it was lots of fun! 💙

Is it physical or digital? Megagames rule.
I'll be stress testing a couple designs I brought to #Metatopia.
Trying 6 modules per card for my 18-card game Galaxy Hustle, an idea that was underlined at Metatopia.

I've written up the final #metatopia playtest of "Road to Romance" - this was a five player game, and was more challenging to fit into the 2 hour slot, but we did it by having narrative catastrophe chapters. Another set of interesting stories created!

I've written up on my blog the first full four stories from running Road to Romance at #Metatopia. Huge thanks to the players for throwing themselves into it with gusto. #ttrpg

#Metatopia was wild y'all
Went to #Metatopia last weekend, and ran my shonen anime emulator Teenage Ninja Fighting School. It went great! Really successful playtest on some very fresh rules (two weeks of development).
I miss the conversations at #BigBadCon & #Metatopia! Time to find more people!
I want to follow folks who talk about:
#ttrpgs #GameDesign
#MuseumWork #MaterialCulture #History
#Textiles #Needlework
#LandBack #NativeRights
#TransRights #SexEducation #ReproductiveRights
Is any of that you?
I want to say “thank you” to everyone who shared their time with me at #Metatopia. After an awful week, a few days of genuine community have been a great help.
#Metatopia seems a con I must go 1 in my life, more than #GenCon or similar multi hobby convention
New blog post up - an explanation of the terms "Pulp" and "Purist" as traditional gameplay modes for horror RPGs, and a lot of other thoughts about how we play horror games that I found myself discussing often at #metatopia this weekend.

I’ve summarised the first four #RoadToRomance stories from #metatopia 2024.
The Fiancées Choice (a hallmark style adventure)
The Last Patient (a paranormal WW2 romance)
Buddy Bronco (a cowboy romcom)
An Unexpected Love (a classic Victorian romance with a twist)
More later!
Over the course of the next few days, I will highlight the wonderful #ttrpg I have tried at #metatopia2024 - and their creators!
The best part, however, has always been and will always be the wonderful people and the meaningful interactions. 🩵

It was great seeing Taylor again at #Metatopia this year, she always brings great energy to the LARPs
On Sunday at #Metatopia, I thought "Ooooh, the con drop after this one is gonna be rough!!"
"Con drop" refers to feelings ranging from "why does the world seem kinda blah?" through "ugh, things in my everyday life are so annoying!" to depression, exhaustion, isolation, and sadness.
#Metatopia day 3
Only one game for me today - bladestar galactica (just testing the space combat and aftermath)
Having a great time meeting designers and trying new games at #Metatopia 2024!
Day 2 at #Metatopia - playtested Sapiens, a game of uplifted animal intelligences investigating Kepler-90, Darkhaven, a 1920s haunted house investigation, and Vileborn - teen part-human part monsters fighting to control their darker urges while protecting humans from the darkness.
