Think you can do what we do?

You... probably can. Especially now that FLOPS is out!

FLOPS is a TTRPG that lets you fix a bad movie with your friends and cinematic superpowers!

BUT they still haven't unlocked my romance-themed setting... and you're gonna want that imo

There's a lot of people in the replies saying it won't happen because every goal this guy publicly sets for himself never happens

But I think this one actually will, because that's AI's whole thing! It makes trash at the click of a button, and then dipshits call it a day! They could make it now!

I'll be working with the @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social for this podcast, and my plan is to explore fictional settings we love, why they work, and what we can learn from them. Join me every 1st and 3rd Thursday as we delve into another setting, and I also plan to feature Indie TTRPG settings as well!

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

Hey, artists: Can you recommend a USB tablet for me, a person who wants to do a little drawing but doesn't want the bulk of their creative work to be visual art? Accessibility/ease of use over features/high performance. Simple and cheap without being crummy.

We didn't direct, write, or star in the 1998 Joel Schumacher film "Batman & Robin," but it was the subject of our very first remake waaaaay back in 2018, so we recorded a commentary track! So we're all going to go to Patreon AS A FAMILY and listen to it!

We have apparently become "the Lancer podcast" and more than one person has said they'd listen to a full 60 episode Actual Play of Lancer after listening to Pacific Rim Uprising. Not certain we're the ones to do it, but apparently The People Are Hungry For It

Didn't tag you in this years ago, so I don't know if you ever saw it

"Gonna introduce a bunch of unsuspecting people to For the Queen"

It's a bearded guy named Alex looking pensively at a deck of For the Queen cards in a standard Nerd House with Nerd Shit everywhere

A tweet from the now-defunct Roleplay Retcon Twitter, replying to the previous post, that says "Just heard the For the Queen "OOoooOooOO" from the kitchen"

Quinn Majeski 👁️ Absurdia crowdfunding now! @quinnmajeski.bsky.social · 11d

So excited this is out! I had a wonderful time chatting with Fiona about Absurdia’s design philosophy, creating absurdity at the table, and how coming from the actual play space helped shape the contours of the game.

If you’re looking for a deep dive into Absurdia, you don’t want to miss it!

Can't overstate this! It feels wonderful to know that someone had a good time with your game. It's not just that they appreciate your work. Someone's day, maybe a day with their friends, got better because of something you put into the world. It's a special feeling.

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Like a game? Comment away!

With ethical entertainment options dwindling, here's one of my picks: A Void in Reality. Technically a FATE Core AP podcast, but it's Youtube version sometimes has accompanying visuals, so it's great for playing your Switch and looking up every once in a while!

A screenshot of A Void in Reality with some art of an NPC (a finely suited man giving finger guns and a winning smile), along with the name of its first and current arc, Agatha, the episode name, Lucius, and player character portraits along the bottom

So, Roleplay Retcon's probably going on recording hiatus (not release hiatus) for most of the rest of the year.

I will not handle this well.

I am wide fucking open to be on your thing. Need a guy for your thing? I'm there.

Please save me. I can't not record.
