Yesterday my leg was healed enough to go on a short walk up Pororari River. Sheer limestone cliffs, tui song, giant nikau palms, ferns and lichen everywhere.
Last night it rained on the cabin and I dreamt of stone and moss

Come visit Doskvol, the jewel of Akoros, in '68. Home of the original bluetime (first and best). Crime rates are better than before*

For months I’ve been looking forward to hiking the Paparoa Track. Unfortunately, I twisted my knee yesterday and can’t walk.
Instead, I’m in a tiny cabin for four days in Punakaiki, waiting for friends to return. Deeply sad about not going on the walk, but grateful for an impromptu solo retreat.

Just launched a major update for Allucinalia, a solo dream journaling game that I wrote last year! Streamlined prompts, new end-game mechanics, extended gameplay ideas, new layout, new art (shout-out to the Public Domain Image Archive)... same price it was before!

Lately the border has felt restless. The fog swirls with strange colours, and echoes linger longer. Even the fire seems uncertain of its warmth.

You know that kind review you left for an indie game on itch?
The creator read it and it meant the world to them. And they will go on to make more cool stuff because you took the time to say something positive.
Being nice is cool. Keep it up.

I haven't played that many 2 player RPGs yet, but Last Tea Shop was so good, I enjoyed it greatly! A friend and I played the 2 player variant rules and decided to switch roles every round. We told a really fun and melancholic story together where we both knew what was happening without ever...
What is the best or most impressive 2 player RPG you've played? 📢

New goal unlocked, to play this game while wearing my snail (and slug) skirt.
Announcing Snail Herders, a #ttrpg for solo & group play.
Lead a caravan of humans and giant snails along ancient trails over weeks of travel. Trade tales and tend the snails. A game about care, journeying, and stories that travel faster than you.

Roseate spoonbills will splash their wings through the water as part of their beauty routine. Here's one doing so mid-splash, facing straight ahead towards the camera. I really love this shot. #birds

First page of the Last Tea Shop solo journaling RPG I'm finally starting. For additional flavor I'm using random tables from the 5.0 DMG and a few character generator tables for the heck of it.

And today's entry for #solosept in my junk journal. I have a sticker for the tiny doily that I'll add once I'm home, bc I'm a dingus and forgot the tin I keep them all in. Oops.
I'll probably be working with the last tea shop #solorpg all month, if nothing else bc it's just so much dang fun.
