Thank you for staying true to what gaming should be all about and maintaining single-player narrative games alive!

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Okay I want to ask you all now.

What does it mean for a ttrpg game mechanism or system to “support the story“ or “support storytelling?”

Sometimes I drop a discussion question in my discord server and then disappear so I have something to read later

TODAY'S THE DAY! Making Enemies: Monster Design Inspiration for Tabletop Roleplaying Games, with cover illustration by @kroovv.bsky.social and interior illos by @jencmars.bsky.social, is now on shelves!

Get it at your friendly local game store or through one of these links: spyandowl.com/making...

A hardbound copy of Making Enemies on a wooden dining table. On the cover, a huge, pearlescent arthropod bursts out of a subterranean crevice and drives one of its large barbed claws through a dwarf fighter's abdomen, while another dwarf cowers in fear. The book is surrounded by blue and red polyhedral dice.

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I have gotten some exceedingly generous donations to this that - not gonna lie - I teared up over a little. It often feels, weirdly, like I'm yelling into nothing despite all of my work in and with ttrpgs spaces.

Still a ways to go! Please repost and donate if you can.

This was a fascinating read, for those game designers out there looking for politics and tension in their games: www.chocolatehammer.org?p=5773

Boot Hill and the Fear of Dice -

Here’s a question: if your players asked for a campaign of politics, deception, and intrigue, what rules system would you use? You don’t just want mechanics that are politically flavored and labeled; ...

RUSH & PUNCH! - STILL IN DEVELOPMENT! @rush-and-punch.bsky.social · 4d

This was a fascinating Kaiju addition to the game by Fernando! Loved it!

Fighting this Jumbo Cercoprimatae is one very interesting combat, involving chasing it down while it kidnaps a Hero or a civilian and starts climbing a building. DON'T LET IT BECOME TOO ENRAGED 🙈

I gotta say, I may not be that good at drawing yet, but this one ended up much better than I anticipated. Quite proud of my progress 🐺

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.
