I've been waiting a while to hear Sam's full designer brain thoughts on what he experienced in O/U and this did not disappoint at all! A lot to digest and overall a really great talk. (also I'm impressed by the accuracy of a 45 minute lecture here haha)

hello gamers last weekend I gave a talk at Narrascope about #OVER/UNDER, covering the emergent culture of the game, technical affordances as rules, and how RPG frame theory can help explain some observed behavior and patterns. you can watch the recording on youtube now: youtu.be/MiMhkKijhKM?...

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN GAMERS! #O/U #Over/Under #MothershipRPG So proud to be able to say I was able to contribute a few tables for this Charity Zine about our time living on a space station for what felt like a lifetime. Please support this release and know that your donations go to a good Cause.

Howdy! A bunch of folks who were in #over/under have been cooking up a 92 page zine for #mothership, and we're happy to announce that "Exit, Pursued by a Dream" is available! All proceeds go to the El Paso Food Not Bombs chapter, and preordering is until June 9th! theember.itch.io/exit-pursued...

The biggest project I've been working on in 2026 is this behemoth anthology. Everyone on the team absolutely knocked it out of the park! Every #mothership game set on The Dream can take something from this, it's so much more than a love letter to #over/under! Adventures, NPCs, fiction, art and more.

The deep dive into the burgeoning #cataphracts community has been really neat! Being a part of one of, if not the largest referee team for Vanguard has led to some really fun discussions on how the community is developing. All of which can be summed up in this exchange.

Vangaurd ref Acatalepsy: "As a referee you have all the information at your fingertips, which makes it very easy to develop the mistaken belief that you understand what is happening."
Vanguard ref deldon: "yeah in Vanguard we call it this"
Discord sticker of Vanguard ref/writer The Dusk Witch responding to a player request in the refs only chat: "Are you kidding me."
"Okay."
"Okay I can see what they want."

Every time I want to post or blog about what's going on in the games I'm playing or running I can't. The true burden of the Cataphract deep dive.

Millie was a foundational element of fostering the community in #over/under and it should come with no surprise that the person behind her is even better at it. Maya's been in a rough spot for far too long, and still has been spending most of that time looking out for others. If you can, please help

Don't wanna pester folks too much, but I've been homeless for the last year and we're currently fundraising to get me over to somewhere I'll have safe housing and can finally start living a better life. Gofundme: gofund.me/75d904432 @lukegearing.bsky.socials adventure: itch.io/b/3536/mayas...
