Ah, misunderstood the question, I suppose! My bad.

I have written an adventure specifically for teaching The Long Road Ahead at events, which is designed explicitly to teach all the basic movies + run in 4 hours or less. Haven't published it yet, but I have written it 😅

I would have so much fun painting everyone's tiny Mavens. I suppose you could just use them as paperweights for your character sheet 😹

When you go to print your #TTRPG remember that you need to charge at least about 6x the cost to print for sustainability.

Small to midsize publishers can take advantage of scale & you can't.

You are not Wizards, Evil Hat, Exalted Funeral, or Modiphius.

Ideally charge 10x an pay a bill.

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

The books did not arrive despite the shipping estimate so I will find out at some nebulous point in the future. I have heard from other people who read it (either arcs or the original Polish I guess?) that it's pretty enjoyable so I have hope!

Who in the AP sphere am I following that has an AP for the R. Talsorian Witcher TTRPG? I'm running it for my day job and after a year of story-games I am looking for all the help I can get.

Almost seven years sober under these conditions mostly out of spite at this point but I DO wish I was utterly submerged in absinthe and champagne instead of all these craft supplies, betimes.

Hey, @romgothsam.bsky.social, would it be possible to share this with the Romancing the Gothic folks so they can hook Chris up? This inquiry seems in the RtG wheelhouse!

I don't have any reccs off the top of my head (my specific speciality is the English ghost story) but would you mind if I tagged in someone who could connect this inquiry with the right folks?

We're at $3,152 out of $15k and that's amazing! We have just been conditionally approved for a new apartment pending background checks and we're steps closer to getting our family in track to leaving DC! Please share this wherever you can and thank you so much!

Not quite that small but I was until very recently in a game with a guy who used to be roommates with my boss from a job I quit 10 years and three states ago 😹

Surprisingly our household was less acutely sick than last year's double-tap but it took almost a week to stop being ridiculously tired 😴

Hey TTRPG folks of Blue Sky:

I am looking to seat 2 POC players in an Upcoming miniseries (~10 episodes).

Looking for players who have passionate opinion is about gaming and tech issues, as well as (adamantly against) AI

Please comment if that's you or tag someone you think would be interested.

I'm teaching myself some basic linocut type printmaking skills and it's only a matter of time before I have to sneak out of our apartment to try and covertly walk to the urgent care across the street so they don't know I have been wounded in battle (stabbed myself with the carvers)

Can you feel that hoa-hoa-hoa season settling in..?

Time to think about some spooky RPGs for darker days (or nights)!

Howdy.

Things are fucked for a lot of folks, but it would mean a lot to me if you’d be able to share or donate to this #GoFundMe.

This is going to help @cha0ticstupid.bsky.social, our pets, and I get a fresh start away from the epicenter of fascism. #mutualaid #donateorshare

We do a craft and movie night at our day job, which this month happens to fall on the equinox, when we always watch OtGW as part of our seasonal celebration...so now we're gonna run the whole thing at work 😹

While Unicycle designers Alan and Lex move into the playtesting phase on their next project, I (KW) am gleefully accumulating premises for short-form adventures I'll start putting out hopefully before the end of the year!
