Has Hollywood lost something, did we forget how to do something, between the Golden Age of Cinema and now?

Yes, we will 100% be talking through how to adapt without falling into the age-old trap of "the book was better."

Of course, I'm proud of my stories as writer... but the fact that I keep working as an SD is because I'm good with YOUR stories!

Right now, I'm working on an illustrated, kid-friendly #TTRPG corebook release and a kid-friendly Jump Rangers novel with kids as protagonists.

Which one, do you think, you'd pick up first? Which one would be more likely to get you involved?

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay from Ranger HQ!

Days like today, we remember the code. Specifically, think about the Brave Rule, the Good Rule, and the Hard Rule.

Leave nobody behind.

Give your power to others.

Do what nobody else can do.

Hey there! Couldn't help but notice that you haven't applied for the 2026 TTAF AP Grants yet. It's cool. I get it -- you've been busy. But why not take some time today to give your show a shot at being screened 'round the world?

Has anyone out there been playing Jump Rangers? Do you play it on the Jump Rangers ruleset, or do you use a more established #TTRPG engine?

Or have you taken the ruleset, and ditched the setting for something you already know?

How do you play the game? Please let me know!

Alien Isolation was released 11 years ago today!
And so it has been a year since a sequel was announced.

So it's a good day to make this oral history of the making of Alien: Isolation available to everyone. 🖖

While the fundamentals work differently in #gamedev, the value of sticking to our fundamentals as we work to diversify our culture is the same!

Writing diverse characters without triggering people isn't complicated.

It doesn't involve taking less creative risk.

@slowblink.io Thank you for the follow! I'll start looking into this today! I bet there's a lot of people on @risingtide.bsky.social who could use some extra exposure for their game.

Jump Rangers: A Galaxy Under Construction @jumprangers.bsky.social · 22d

Jump Rangers has a transforming space fighter! The Hercules!

All our designs are built to be used far beyond the #TTRPG, and art director Federico Estevão was insistent that we not use the same transformation sequence seen in Transformers and Robotech, so this was an involved project for us! #scifi

Based on greek battle armor, the design for the Hercules transforming fighter/robot was always meant to reflect the Herc's pugilistic approach to battle. As a robot, the Herc looks like a hand-to-hand fighter. As a fighter, it's obviously very heavy. In every respect the Herc is a brawler!

Hi, friends! Space madness!

I submitted a short story for the #StarCitizen Halloween contest, about the ghost ship Vara in the Hades System. If you like spooky sci-fi, please give it a read!

How did you get involved in those communities, if I may ask? #TTRPGsky

What we need:
- you!

From art director Federico Estevão, the Saurian Dragon Spacefighter was the first look we managed to nail down for Jump Rangers.

With this ship, Federico managed to establish the look of the entire Saurian Horde as somewhat "Batman inspired," which never occurred to me, and it's perfect!

#ttrpg

In it's collapsed configuration, the gothic Saurian Dragon Spacefighter is a fast and powerful weapon built for ramming larger spaceships.

With it's wings open, the Saurian Dragon Spacefighter is a fast maneuverable dogfighter that's perfect for eliminating the enemies of the Saurian Horde in space or in the sky.
