I spend a lot of social media time whining, so here's some positive ttrpg things.
Running Hardwired Island with one group, it might be my favorite Cyberpunk game.
Running Night's Black Agents (Dracula Dossier). It lures the players deeper and deeper in.
Running Wild Talents, need I say more?

Zephyr has a great lifepath system! I am a noted lifepath lover.
If you've played with lifepath systems in TTRPGs, there's plenty to like and tinker with in the Myth system of Zephyr RPG. Basically, this lifepath system starts by giving you a random assortment of eight Zephyr tokens, in cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colors.

Real Brad-heads know this, but I suffer from bouts of insomnia, and at one point, they were exacerbated by a brutal schedule of seven days on, seven days off, third shift work. During that time, I often fantasized about what it could be like to escape...

Pbft, thats boring compared to the ones who come in without a scale and drop them on floor because and I quote "The extra weight will make them land face down."
I cannot fathom bringing a digital scale to an EB Games to weigh individual packs of Pokemon Cards.

I want to highlight that this is I think one of the most genuinely interesting TTRPGs I've read in years, in ways that are hard to articulate in a bsky post. @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social has made something very special here, and if you love TTRPG design you owe it to yourself to read this game.

@liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social tells Rascal about the process of creating her pseudo-autobiographical horror RPG about finding meaning before death, but also accepting the unknowable.

it's ironic that we, as men, go all the way to jupiter to get more stupider. the trip itself requires quite a bit of know-how and tech savvy. if we really cared about getting stupider, like we all claim, we would look into more sustainable stupidizing options

What's crazy is how many people are treating Pokémon cards like the actual stock market. Dudes are coming in and swapping tips with each other like this shit is never gonna stop. I loathe each and every one of them

Katamari Damacy is the Pumped Up Kicks of videogames
With a new Katamari Damacy game coming out this week that was made without the original designer, I'm thinking about how the original game was a critique of consumerism, about how no matter how much stuff you have you always want more, and in the end you can never be satisfied by that.
