Here to talk about gaming of all sorts and other projects of imagination. By day I teach theology, after years as a community organizer. For goblin art and gaming nonsense I blog at https://goblinmanor.blogspot.com

I've been reading about the Public Land Survey System and other large-scale survey projects all week and it's left me fascinated with the logistics of managing a bunch of scoundrels traipsing around swamps and mountains to draw squares on the earth.

Musings on monsters: “What is the meaning of these unclean monkeys, these strange savage lions, and monsters? To what purpose are here placed these creatures, half beast, half man, or these spotted tigers?”
“If beauty is to be true and good, then it must be for everyone. It must be difficult, or complicated, or coarse, or hard to perceive. It must be worth struggling for. And it must exist in all of us.”

🙏CHAPTER SERF🙏

I finished it! A Warhammer 40K adventure & TTRPG where you *don't* play Space Marines. Instead you play those little hooded freaks loitering in the background while Space Marines hog the limelight.

ALL PLACES ARE NEIGHBOURHOODS

Last night, for @newnaratif.bsky.social , I ran a workshop about what we need to think about, when we tell stories of the environment. Did some conceptual & ideological framing.

The point of this slide is simple: there is no such thing as a land without people.

On Thursday I'll be running a workshop on how to tell stories about the climate crisis.

Am prepping slides right now. Images from our life; our art and environmental journalism; the stories that have inspired us---

And a pangolin, like a miracle, who visited our garden.

This is a great piece, shows not only how games are an intrinsic part of our cultures but also how you can use them to tell wider stories. Excellent stuff

The Congregation of the Grand Signal wanders, collecting antennae and sensors to scan and rebroadcast the airwaves for any and every signal, believing it all a part of a great pattern. Some believe it is a song, others a story, more still a map. Will you dig through the Big Scrap with them?

The answer is BLACK DEATH RISING, an apocalyptic religious horror OSR game. And now I'm going to tell you about it!
