Any indie #ttrpg creators in the Toronto area down for an interview in the next couple of weeks? I've got a paper I'm still figuring out the parameters for (probably about creating and refining an indie ttrpg) and I need interviewees!

Alas, it does have to be in person, so no one outside the GTA.

Finally in a mood to get back into some solo games!

Playing these in the same morning is wild. Hard pivot from classical music to the Tenet OST

here is your brief break from the horrors: a man digging for earthworms as fishing bait found a medieval silver hoard in a copper cauldron in the Stockholm region. It is estimated to weigh about 6 kilos, and dates to the reign of Knut Eriksson (1167-1195-ish).

So I hear!

Simple line art is a mushroom looking at a ghost. The mushroom has a surprised look and a heart above its head. The ghost also has a heart above its head. The mushroom loves the ghost's fashion because they have similar fashion sense

I've recently considered offloading the cool creative stuff to a dangerous algorithm myself. What would you say were the best ways you had less fun?

My latest video is a setting analysis of @felixisaacs.bsky.social's "The Wildsea!" I borrow inspiration from the work of scholar Stefan Ekman, and use his critical worldbuilding ideas to imagine how the world's culture is impacted by key setting touchstones.
