I made a trilogy of horror solo journaling games. The final game is Sample. It’s about a DJ who meets a tragic end and it’s set during Y2K right before the ball drops. Players create their own music and choose melodies to determine the outcome. Follow here before we launch: tinyurl.com/2af9nnte
I say this with the deepest respect and worry: the moment you put a new big game in front of players, even if it’s in progress, you need to have it at least scanned by a sensitivity consultant. I’m not talking your one pagers, I’m talking the big leagues. It’s faster to lost faith than to gain it.
The problem with writing a whole fictional culture solely in opposition to the ones you’re currently in is that almost 100% of the time you end up just rewriting The Orient. A mush place where things are fantastical but also dangerous, full of untrustworthy brown-coded cutthroats. So maybe stop. 🤷🏽♂️
and even if BK, Walmart, Ubi are non compliant now you can bet they won't be the ones the gov't will go after. They'll fine the shit out of small businesses owned by immigrants bc let's face it this gov't hates brown people If they rly wanted to promote French, they'd offer incentives to learn it
WanderingDM@wanderingdm.bsky.social · 2d agoBefore Loi 96, you had to add a generic French word to your company name like Café Starbucks, instead of just Starbucks. Since, hundreds of businesses (like subway, BK, Canadian Tire) are no longer in compliance and could be billed tens of thousands of dollars until they fix their signs 3/4
In Trade War news: negotiations are ceased apparently. Only hours ago. In the wee hours. Tariffs to be “dollar for dollar”. Fuckin’ hell.
You know I love games that encourage us (as players or GM) to think. Craft, be creative, strategise! It feels like some of us are turning away from that because it's difficult, and I get that. But thinking about the moves you're making in game is a great way to stop thinking about the horrors.

I mentioned before how a lot of the announcements coming out of GenCon seemed uninspired and cynical and I’d just like to follow that up by saying a fair amount of these projects (from big companies) seem to be for “everyone” and thus no one. Seriously who’s the audience for this stuff anyway?
BE/HOLD's original music has always been our secret weapon on My First Dungeon. Listen to his latest album for our Mythic Bastionland campaign and you'll understand why.

idk how hot a take it is but hey AP creators out there? Your system isn't your pitch. The story is. I'm not checking out "a Daggerheart podcast made by 4 best friends in the land of Mysteria!" but I WILL check out "4 cowboys are gonna fuck up zombies in this Daggerheart western"
Hailey@bachrach.bsky.social · 6d agobegging for new APs (especially D&D/Daggerheart) to tell me what the actual story is going to be
Special stream tonight! With the cast scattered to the winds for work or leisure, I'll be solo streaming chatting about worldbuilding, game design, narrative, all that good stuff while I work on some downtime and settlement mechanics for Rust Frontiers Same time, 8:30pm EST on twitch.tv/wanderingdm
Finale tomorrow, wish me a broken leg and remember to tune in! (And let me know what you think!)

Bad news, vamily: one of our coterie is unfortunately down and out tonight. I hate to give such late notice, but we have to cancel tonight's stream. We'll be back next week with the Camarilla crew. Thank you all for understanding!
dimplesndice@dimplesndice.bsky.social · 7d agoTonight at 8pm Eastern! We have another Sabbat-focused chapter of Philly by Night: The Monster Within! We will be welcoming the incredible Cassie (aka Lamia) to the table as we explore what it means to b̶e̶c̶o̶m̶e̶ infiltrate the Sabbat. See ya tonight, vamily.
I saw someone defending a game by saying "it's doing interesting things. Do I like it? Not really, but I got to support it for that." One, you don't need to support something you don't like, actually, and two, if THAT'S the post in support I am terrified of the detractors...
My university has made me run to four different buildings to clear fine holds for fines that don’t exist. Tech and I have an uneasy relationship, folks.
I don’t know what the latest discourse is but I do know, from seeing the aftermath, that I’m not being paid enough to engage with it.
Seems like there’s a lot of games now finally learning that bringing in a sensitivity consultant right at the end and hoping they fix your work is attempting to cover a chasm with papier mache. Hire us from the get. Call us a writer if need be. The dog whistles are too loud at this point. 🤷♂️
So, if you saw me get personal about my situation there for a sec: no, no you did not. Spare not a thought for me! Please!
They won’t let Muslims pray at al-Aqsa, but they’ll let Israelis treat it like a tourist trap. Yep. Sounds about right. Genocidal pricks.
I think of consequence in games as kind of like fibre in a diet. If you lack fibre, you're just going to feel less full over time. You're also likely to feel hungrier again quicker. The same is true of consequence. They help those decisions feel like they mattered. Give them weight. Satisfies.
WE OPENED TO A GODDAMN DIABLERIE, WHAT THE HECK? Help me #vamily, my players are scaring me again.
Bad House RPG@badhouserpg.bsky.social · 2w agoYou're in perfect time, as ever. The penultimate episode of Veils of Chicago starts now 🚨 Bring it all down. twitch.tv/badhouserpg #vtm #vampirethemasquerade #vamily
