It seems like only yesterday that we held the Doomspiral Launch party.

It was such a brilliant night full of amazing costumes, dramatic boss battles and Mol going full "weird lil guy".

A massive shoutout to @moonshineadventure.bsky.social, The Arcanists Tavern and everyone who came along.

Oh, yeah! That's the video! What a classic!

Aside from a couple of edge cases, I always was enchanted how openly self-reflective and healthy were the black metal fans I've met along the way.

If the words "Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism" force you to crack a knowing smile, if Benny Hill's theme for you is synonymous with fire breathing, mossy woods and capes or there is a special place in your heart for grotesque nihilism of black metal - you should follow and support this dev's journey!

The Treacherous Journeys playtest on Steam + the itch demo download have now been closed - storepages stay up.
Focus is now 100% on Grimfog - give it a wishlist, it's #wishlistwednesday :)

It always puzzles me that non-Eastern-European folks are barely aware of the Moomins, but to a lot of youth of the ex-USSR they were, kinda, always around.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · 7d

I think I have a similar thing, that manifests differently.
In my day to day life I can take longer pauses and even stutter with words when I communicate with "real people" about "serious issues", but my English becomes way more natural, fluent and free when I'm in the TTRPG Fugue state.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · 22d

Thank you!

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · 22d

Greetings, Amy! I would love to join the list!

Oh, that a classic case of Epidermis Envy!

Nesta is a Shadow-soul Informant, searching for Hope, yet suffering from Indifference. You can count on her knowing the right gossip or staying out of site when the guards raid the Level Eleven, but is she even wants to #EscapeFromTheTowerOfDusk ?

I'll be there! Dodge-rolling and all!

Folks, if you're in UK and are looking for acting gigs, there might be an invitation to a project that uses a codename 'Roundabout'. Hypothetically, a person I might know mentioned that, allegedly, it might be a production about wizards and schools if you would like to stay away from it.

Little man - big feelings!
Thank you for the divination! :3

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Sep 9

Yeeees!

Amen to that!
Recently @uktin.bsky.social was able to replenish the wares of the Arcanist's Tavern with a lot of lovely indie-TTRPGs and supplements from the community.
If anybody is around Shoreditch and would like to grab some hot zines - it's the best time to do so!

Can't wait to get more Christopher Larkin's music in my system!

For me personally, beating Radiance was easier than delivering Grey Mourner's flower. I'm pretty proud of completing that one.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Sep 2

Drop an old person you're going to turn into in the future.

I think I have... 8 years left to catch up?

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 30

Yes, this is your mandatory Apple Witch content for a weekend. While my first sponge cake in the background might not be that impressive, my apple, cardamom and grapefruit jam is boiling up nicely.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 30

I've done it, friends. I've finished writing both escape plans for #EscapeFromTheTowerOfDusk
7 months, when it should have been 2.
38k words, when it should have been 3k.
1 overly complicated prototype/I complete rework.
Holy hell. It feels like I've escape the Tower myself.
But not yet.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 25

Hello there. This is your long weekend apple content.
I've mentioned the apple pie will be ridiculous in size, right?

Your brother is so lucky to have you in his life!

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 22

Noted! The Apple witch will return in the next episode: "the apple pie so massive, it's rude!" this Saturday!

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 21

You don't follow me for this kind of content, but the apple season is upon us once again.

I have a strong feeling this is how a Co-Optional Podcast AU looks like.

Mikhail Malkin @ronamis.bsky.social · Aug 18

... and the teaspoon has a hole for some reason.
