the trick with getting people to play non-D&D games is just to do it and not act like its a big deal at all.

The momatoes bundle has been extended for one year! Four of my award-winning games, for only $40 — a $37 discount.

From heart-racing adventures to sad tales of longing, this bundle is a great way to explore new games.

I think it's very cool :)

Please share this information widely. In short, the USPS has very recently and rather quietly changed the definition of a "postmark date" and it can and will impact things with postmark deadlines, such as mail-in ballots, healthcare payments or appeals, tax filings, and so on.

“No one gets to wear the rotting crown of “THE” OSR - but we’re all its horrible little children.”

Enjoyed this read from @ratkingrpg.bsky.social on the state of our scene(s) in 2026.

Has me motivated to focus more on dungeon design in the next year

Did you know that I released a new game this year? Going For Broke is a fast-paced, party roleplaying game that tells sitcom stories about a collective house that's scrambling to pay rent. It's cheap, easy to teach, and takes less than an hour to play. Check it out!

Also the swing back to old tech is just plain practical; much of it works better than what we have now! Why put playlists on your phone and worry about space when you can get an iPod and load it up with 20,000 songs, and listen to them for free?
I used to think that smartphones and streaming were a mistake because giving people the illusion of access to everything all of the time would break us irreparably, but this & returns to iPods, DVDs, records, etc prove that people just want to be people, not 24/7 consumers and marketing targets.

You should watch the video. It’s good. It’s the sort of thing I wish we had more of. If you agree, maybe toss a few bucks into @aavoigt.bsky.social ’s hat - making this stuff is hard work, and I for one am very grateful that he did it.

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider:

1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib
