I'm not sure if I have any Pathfinder 2e or D&D 5e monster designers that follow me, but if you're interested in co-creating a leshy bestiary with me, shoot me a message with some examples of your work. I'd be happy to pay some upfront for the writing, as well as offer 30% to writing and layout.

I'll be at Gen Con this year with the prototype for my storytelling game Interstellar Incident—find me to try it out, especially if you're a publisher looking for something cooperative, richly narrative, and highly approachable.

Hi all, I am looking for articles, posts, podcasts about: - GMless/GMfull games - worldbuilding games - the practice of hacking in TTRPGs/ LARP Note: I am not necessarily interested in specific games, but rather in pieces that talk *about* these kinds of games and practices. Links are appreciated!

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

Yesterday, WIRED learned that Madison Square Garden was suing us for our accurate reporting. We stand by our work. That’s why we’re removing the paywall from two of the MSG stories they don’t want you to read, making them free for everyone.

6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

For every lovely repost or review, there are five more filled with personal grudges, death threats or motivated by bigoted hate. It's intimidating to create anything because the internet can feel like such a vitriolic cesspit. It's even harder to wade through it when without a team behind you.

Every game I put out gets "1" ratings on BGG before it is for sale. For funsies I'm gonna track the 1s on WS Pocket in real time. What are these people up to, who feel so strongly about a game they haven't even played? Game details were announced yesterday, and the first "1" is up. LET'S GO! 🧵

It's not too late to call your reps to vote NO on KOSA, and if you like being able to sign on to the internet without entering your driver's license or passport number, it's crucial that you do! I left a message over the weekend and called again for good measure today. I hope you do the same!
