Did you know I write TTRPGS? It's true! You can find my work over on my itch page; every sale gives the title a free community copy and helps me feed my beautiful wife! farmergadda.itch.io

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

Here it is! New on the Ponett Gazette: I've returned to Hazbin Hotel for a followup review! Season 2 is a marked improvement in many ways, but is it enough to outweigh the show's continued issues with its tone, themes, and politics? (Plus: I also discuss Helluva Boss) ponett.dog/blog/hazbin-...
Is redemption possible for Hazbin Hotel? Season 2 (and Helluva Boss) review
To put it mildly, I did not like the first season of Hazbin Hotel. Almost two years ago now I wrote a scathing 13,000 word review on the many issues I had with it—not just the surface level stuff peop...

Around this time last year I remember formulating the plan to quit streaming and blog about ttrpgs instead, with a goal of (let me check my notes real quick) posting Once A Week for Fifty-Two Weeks.

Been watching this develop. It’s pretty amazing.
I think it helps highlight how the old-school scene (by blogs) is ~6 different groups of people who may/may not be communicating.
Harder to see, but present, is the temporal aspect of the old-school scene growth & change

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready
Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map
What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

Certain pieces of media are built on the latter. Call of Duty and Harry Potter fundamentally do not work, from an artistic perspective, if you don't somehow think extrajudicial murder, cruelty and bigotry are morally neutral acts
One of the biggest shocks of my adult life was realizing there's a hidden division in society between people who think certain acts - cruelty, torture, murder - are inherently wrong, versus the majority of people who think there are no wrong actions, just incorrect targets.

This piece by @newmadras.bsky.social just made Oddfolk click for me. I bounced off it, misunderstanding what 'modular' was supposed to mean in this case. The piece is also so joyously well written it becomes infectious, much like its subject aims to be. Don't let this one pass you by.
Oddfolk is the most fun you can have with four lines
Warning: can cause game design.

No. The Thing is a movie about a bunch of people who all distrust and hate each other trapped in one building as the tension between them slowly builds until it reaches a breaking point. It's a Thanksgiving movie.
Should John Carpenter's THE THING be officially classified as a Christmas movie? Let your voice be heard!

Quickly losing my mind over the Hytale updates showing off how much care is going into fast-tracking a creative ecosystem with building, time-lapse, and machinima support. Nothing will ever dethrone Minecraft in the public consciousness but this is the first voxel game I've ever seen come this close

THE MAN IN THE RIVER
Once there was a wise man, who travelled to strange lands, and as he travelled, he came to the bank of a winding river. Edging the bank were houses, set at distances from one another. The wise man walked upstream, watching the slow current carry leaves and twigs past him.

Themed crowdfunding months provide creative ways to bring together associated tabletop creators and raise consistent money.
But as the trend spreads, the calendar is beginning to feel mighty crowded.
