Intro time!

I’m Ryan, a strange figure in the LARP/TTRPG world, mostly producing shows.

Other things:
-I run games as a corporate teambuilder so lots of travel ✈️
-Very metaphysical: Tarot reader, exorcist, medium 🔮
-I’m Taskmaster for the fanmade Taskmaster LA 💌
-Run the YT channel #GeekPublic 🎥

Every time I hear “Parkour, parkour,” which references that clip from “The Office,” it’s surreal that my roommate, Jo, is the guy that did the running wall flip that inspires them to do the parkour.

Rascal speaks to @jeffstormer.gobirds.online about Party of One's new identity. What does it mean to be an interview show disguised as an actual play?

Jeff Stormer's quest to make the Hot Ones of RPG podcasts

Party of One reinvents itself as "nonfiction actual play".

I have survived staying at a murder hotel yesterday in Seattle.

I should have asked to stay elsewhere the moment my number was in marker and the other rooms had number plates on them.

This clip of @naladraws.com writing and voicing over their prayer for #sineater created by @atticus.haus for @huntersent.bsky.social is one of the coolest videos I’ve ever done.

prayer 🕯️

a short clip from the official Sin Eater AP I did for @huntersent.bsky.social, edited by @ryanomega.bsky.social featuring me, an ex-Catholic, speaking words I haven’t said in years 😶

CW Catholic prayer, blasphemy

Millions march across America to demand #NoKings.

Meanwhile, a one person deep line assembles to watch Trump's birthday parade in Washington DC.

Ben & Jerry’s Free Cone Day generates more enthusiasm than this pathetic show.

Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.

For Pride month, we’re seeing what a gay divorce between 47 and Elon looks like.

I think about how AIDS/HIV took away many Gen X gay men in my generation and in the past month, HIV was declared no longer a death sentence.

I will take that victory.

The veil has lifted.

It's time to confront the sins of the departed.

Redemption or condemnation: every choice is yours to make.

Are you ready?

Sin Eater is now live on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/hun...

A crowned being holds a severed head above their own, letting it bleed down onto them. The words "SIN EATER" and "LIVE NOW ON KICKSTARTER" are overlaid in shadows.

I am SO excited I got to play Sin Eater for our official AP. This is my first time doing a solo journaling game for a camera. @ryanomega.bsky.social absolutely killed the editing on this

@atticus.haus has created SUCH a cool game yall.

Mistyped “bullerproof” as “bulletpoof” and now I have a new gay character with guns concept.

I need to remember that when I’m tired, I should rest.

Not push through exhaustion until I find that imaginary burst of energy to refill me.

I’m proud of the damage we did at the “All You Can Eat” sushi last night for @gamelawyerwhalen.bsky.social’s birthday 🍣🎂

Ryan Omega @ryanomega.bsky.social · May 13

I enjoyed so much talking about not just the process of making a fan-made #Taskmaster, but also the importance of making your games fun to watch!

Thank you so much for having me on your show, Gerald!

The Corner of Story and Game @storyandgame.bsky.social · May 13

I don’t make this claim lightly.

“Sinners” is one of the best movies I have ever seen. EVER.

Bonus points for being a vampire movie.

The soundtrack is glorious.

The middle musical interlude: I wanted to actually scream in the theater how brilliant that was.
