I'm in this, too!
Hey everyone, if you're looking for something to do this Friday in a post turkey coma, I'll be taking part in a charity fundraising stream where we'll play a TTRPG oneshot! I'll be on from 5-9pm PST, and proceeds go to createMPLS.

Well, I did it. I listened to Whistle in the Dark (because sci-fi creature horror doesn't squick me too bad) and @fkth.bsky.social is living proof that the line between comedy and horror is thiiiiin and improv skills work for both
For reasons I truly don't know, something happened to me a few years ago that made me no longer able to enjoy horror podcasts without getting squicked out real bad. But I'm being a Big Boy and listening to @lastlinepod.bsky.social because I think it will be worth it.

Transcripts are important for accessibility reasons, of course, but you also get the minor perk of them being unintentionally hilarious sometimes

Hey heroes!

On December 10th at the iO Theater, I am premiering a new RPG-based improv show.

I'm developing the form with the cast right now, and I know it's going to be so much fun to watch. Also, look at how incredible my cast is!

Hey, if I call a noir detective TTRPG that takes place in The Rough Part of Town and uses a deck of cards "Aces in the Hole" is that a good idea or a bad idea

Obsessed with how Jensie says "two more."

We're fixing Pacific Rim: Uprising with Lancer, with guest GM @iwriterobots.com and a soundtrack by @beholdyourfate.bsky.social!

Dick Cheney going to hell and Zohran Mamdani getting elected on the same day are a win in my book.

If you have an outlet and want to read the nice press release I wrote, you should respond here so I can send it to you
Putting out the call, a question in two parts:

- What are the podcast newsletters I should be sending press releases to?

- What are the TTRPG news outlets I should sending press releases to?

Signed, a guy with a press release he wants to send out tomorrow

Since taking over as host, I IMMEDIATELY started mythologizing the One Shot Studio

Each recording, during intros, guests riff with me about what the studio is like. EVERYTHING becomes canon.

As we upload episodes to YouTube, @cowboypunkcolt.bsky.social has brought TONS of these anomalies to life

"The time for a softer, gentler Apocalypse World was gone."

Apocalypse World: Burned Over represents the complicated ways that both the Bakers and reality have changed since the original RPG's release.
Apocalypse World: Burned Over is kinder and much angrier
The end of the world isn’t what it used to be. It might be better.

Hope that works out. I've heard that there's really only one "ring" in the market and the bubble's about to burst
I just got funding from Valar Ventures for my new startup Ash Nazg Burbatulûk.
