Not me, owning already more than half the collection!!!

You know, I'm a volunteer at a book store specialised in the imaginary. I organise game nights about "atypical ttrpgs". I should do one with some of your macro games !

That's rough...

If we get a little broader though, then the cast in dispatch would try and help. Since I'm very early in the episodes, I'm not sure I'm confident about them getting me out in one piece...

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

My issue is, of he does rescue me, I think I'll be in a worse situation than the one I started with...?

Anybody can recommend a cool actual play podcast of Observer Effect for #DeltaGreen ?

I like to listen in on other tables as a way to prep my games :3

What a beautiful read. I even teared up at the end!

I have dyslexia. Reading takes time for me, and energy, and focus. And yet here I am at 4AM, unable to go to sleep because I am halfway through the most terrifying read of my life!

What a roller coaster !

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we remember the lives of Rita Hester and Chanelle Pickett, Black trans women from our own home of Greater Boston whose loved ones created #TDoV to honor them. Now and always, we mourn and fight for all trans people, especially the most vulnerable among us. 🏳️‍⚧️🕯️

I'm hyped. My order for @qntm.org's "There is no Antimemetics Division" just arrived, and I have a silent book club planned this evening... All according to plan.

I preordered @qntm.org’s There Is No Antimemetics Division, and it arrived two days go. Today… a second copy arrived. I only ordered one. There’s no records of a second order or shipping details for a second copy. This feels appropriate to the story, somehow.

My favourite cover is the middle one but I couldn't get my hands on it. I guess I'll just have to enjoy reading it instead of simply looking at it.

Not all hope is lost. If the suit is won by the devs, they could potentially salvage the project, in which case the hype will be back.

*cope*.

Anyway, congrats! How many players were at the table? How'd they enjoy the finish?

For some reason, this campaign is popping up everywhere around me lately. Not just social media: there's a mask campaign that just finished at my LGS last week, and I met another GM last night who just started his.

You'd think this was a king in yellow ploy with the mnemetic pattern cropping up

In the first of what will likely be a series of blogs, @lincodega.com unpacks how @samsorensen.bsky.social's month-long realtime Mothership larp/megagame #over/under ended for their character, High Gardener Otso, and also, for themselves.
How to find an ending in Over/Under
After a month of emergent story, scheming, and bleed, it all ended with a gardener and a clown.

@samsorensen.bsky.social a friendly reminder that you rock, sir. Over/Under was beautiful, and you've left a mark on the dream forever!

Also I'm hyped for your MoshMo25 project !!!

I mean. I don't know if I just failed a task successfully or if my karma is just that bad but holy sh*t

If I can't get my head around your game in less then 5 mins of reading, you are bumped out of the micro game category for me!
