I just finished the second playtest version of my #ttrpg Clutch. I am immensely proud of them. I've been working on this more than a year now.

Halfway through my third week of #NaGaDeMon and I've barely done any work on my #ttrpg Coven. I've just begun doing character creation.

I once downloaded a little twenty-page pamphlet game whose PDF was named "firstedition.pdf", which tells me very little about its contents, but a whole lot about its author's ambitions.

I enjoy buying indie TTRPGs and immediately renaming them because the author decided to go with "game.pdf" or "final.pdf" (or "final1.pdf", which raises questions that ought to have been answered by the word "final"), but I think my favourite turned out to be named "pdf.pdf". Like, tell me nothing.

Joyce Carol Oates absolutely reading Elon Musk for filth is pretty incredible, but something I'd point out is his feigned interest in games, and how fake that was, paying people to boost his accounts and play for him, and the rare time we actually got to see him play, he was absolutely miserable.

Proud to back @transliberationgroup.org.uk — a brilliant grassroots group fighting for trans liberation within Your Party.

Their demands are essential for real party democracy. With trans people under unprecedented threat in the UK, I’m proud to always stand with the trans community.

I've begun working on my second #ttrpg Coven for #NaGaDeMon. It's personal horror, urban fantasy ttrpg about playing a modern witch. Be prepared lose your humanity in your quest to master the magical arts.

I really enjoyed this video as I do with all Quinns Quest videos, but I worry that people are starting to view them as the last word on the games he covers rather than his own perspective and experience. Basically we need more RPG reviews at this level of prominence.
New Quinns Quest episode! ▶️💿

You know I had to play a campaign of Triangle Agency. It won Best Writing, Best Rules and Best Game at the Ennies this year. But how does it actually play? Let's find out

i felt like people needed an example of an explicitly expressionist game following yesterday's article. so i drafted one up! it's called THE EXQUISITE CORPSE FACTORY and it's about drawing exquisite corpses to make a living

A new round of playtesting just started for my #ttrpg Clutch and it ended with an in depth discussion on Vaginoplasty. #transrights.
