As and when I use this app, it'll mostly be for indie tabletop RPG design thoughts. Mostly quiet for now though, being off social media has been good for me. onemoretimearound.itch.io She/Her, He/Him, Ze/Hir, Ve/Ver, Xe/Xem, Ae/Aer

The classics are classics for a reason.

I *immediately* picked up the BSG vibes from the soundtrack in the last episode's trailer, so great work Dylan!

I will always repost Normal Dog.

Si F Sweetman @sifsweetman.bsky.social · 2d

Normal Dog. Personal work, 2021.

A normal-looking dog with all the regular features: big, scaled tail longer than it's body. Yellow speckles over purple skin. Gelatinous neck and head. Visible brain. Human teeth. Regular stuff.

Hallowstream is the best streaming series going, which sometimes plays a game and sometimes sits on the pause screen for an hour and a half to have a discussion about contemporary art, or archival practice, or what if there was a tiny Michel Foucault.

Dog Eat Dog is one of the first RPGs I can remember hearing about that bucked the trends (mechanical and political) of trad games, so that's also exciting. But Princess with a Cursed Sword is my favourite solo journalling game!
