Hey! I used to be bleongambetta on Twitter!
You may know me from my telenovela #ttrpg Pasión de las Pasiones or the podcasts Stop, Hack & Roll and Protean City Comics!
I've had to step back from the social media and ttrpg spaces, but when I'm occasionally checking, it's here!
A Nebraska punter's family coming from Australia to Nebraska to cheer on their kid in a game where they literally have not had to punt even once is pretty hilarious.

I understand why these kinds of pre-conference games happen. But when an expected 35 point spread is almost doubled it feels a little silly.

Clear my schedule on October 1st. I'm going to be reading about terrible frogs.

A couple of weeks ago I almost hyped that the playable version of Pommel Ball would be available on Nebraska's first football game of the season.
Glad I didn't because that's tomorrow and I'm not even close.

The new wrinkle of CR having their own ttrpg that they've developed is a weird new addition, but if you've seen one episode, you've seen them all.

We all know this one.

-CR/D20 announce they'll play D&D
-The same indies say it's immoral to not help the ttrpg scene and individual authors by playing other games
-The same CR/D20 content ecosystem and fans insist that AP has never helped a game and CR/D20 are just friends
-CR/D20 say nothing

you can shift Gear up or down.
When you get to the swerve end square, you measure with a little ruler thingy based on your current Gear and roll an appropriate die to maintain control. If you're going faster, it's a harder roll.

Here's the idea:
At any time, you can swerve/turn. You do that by choosing a space ahead of you and declaring your intention to turn at that point. You put your swerve start and swerve end tokens on those squares. Then on your turn, you move forward according to your Gear. At the end of your turn,

You know those cutouts that you use to measure range in wargames?

I'm pretty sure I've come up with one for turning that has reignited Deadly Kobold Racing.

Yeah, I'm RIGHT there. Been playing more video games and wondering if I should stream or review and honestly? Probably not.

I've got this bad and it is extremely frustrating to me.

There's also a small horrible part of me that wants to learn and make companion games to the tabletop versions of fake games I'm making.

Mostly original games for the older systems! Like tonight I'm trying out this Game Boy Color game someone made a couple of years ago.

Obviously no hurry or pressure from me! I just want to be sure that if someone wants to use something I've done as a resource, that I'm not blocking them from it!

I've been exploring Homebrew video games (modern indie games for existing consoles) and there's SO much cool stuff going on. I wish a bit that I were better at video content so that I could share some of the awesome stuff going on.

I've got it saved in a couple of places! I need to work out more permanent home for the ttrpg stuff I care about (including that), but if you need it before I get my stuff together, hmu and I'll either get it lined up quicker or send you the text! :)

Okay. Tonight is Pommel Ball Kits, possibly default teams too.

Then the dreaded play materials layout.

I'm considering just hand drawing the character sheets and scanning them.
