We had a BLAST at RPG Night on Wednesday! Thank you to everyone who joined us from various RSOs on campus and CMU's own actual play show, Dungeons and Dormrats! Thanks also to our GMs, Gabby and Andrew, for creating an awesome experience for everyone. See you for our next event on September 25th!

A person sits with a journal, a book, and a deck of tarot cards at a table. They write in the journal. Four people sit around a table, midway through a game. One person with a long brown braid sits with their back to the camera. To their left are two people leaning on the table and smiling. To their left is a person sitting back. On the table are phones, pieces of paper, and pencils.Three people are sitting at a table. The person to the farthest right is at the head of the table and sits behind a wooden screen with dragons etched onto it. A computer sits behind the screen. On either side of the screen, on the opposite side, are two other people. Five people sit around a table. The one closest to the right and the camera sits with their back to the camera. They have a camera and a screen up in front of them. The rest of the players are seated around a rectangular table. Each person has a piece of paper or two in front of them, plus some writing utensils.

The Quiet Year is one of the best and most accessible ttrpg-like games I've ever played. If you haven't tried it you should buy a copy now.

Do you love any of the games that I have created? Whether it's Monsterhearts, Dream Askew, The Quiet Year, Going For Broke, or a deeper cut, now would be a great time to hit quote-tweet and tell your friends about it! It's been a slow month. 💕✨ store.buriedwithoutceremony.com

As the rules say: "The phrase 'I don't know what I'm looking at' indicates that the game is working as intended." 😆 I cannot wait to hack this for language learning, haha. Well done @timhutchings.bsky.social ! Find it here: thousandyearoldvampire.com/products/a-s...

A Sargasso Sea of Space (a party card game)

“Uh oh!  We are stranded in a messy SARGASSO SEA OF SPACE and our noble spaceship is all banged to heck. Like, broke forever. Kaput.  Let’s hurry and improvise some smaller and, we’re sure, perfectly ...

Arenas and data centers use the same playbook: Pressure local governments to give them billions in subsidies and lower regulations over the threat of going elsewhere. We're told it's best to let them make as much money as humanly possible because scraps for a few here are better than nothing.

I love seeing solo RPG events likes this one, and I wrote about my own experience earlier this year for The Soloist. I also like to see The Balsam Lake Unmurders getting some love!

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story. If you didn't read it already, read it. Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.

An important read. [The Atlantic-gift article]: What I Saw Inside the Kennedy Center I spent 10 months working at the institution because I thought I could help protect it. What I observed there is far worse than the public knows.By Josef Palermo www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

This is a good perspective on the orders of magnitude in the TTRPG publishing industry, and by and large positions us correctly at the bottom-most named tier (while acknowledging that there's a broad swath of indie designers further down). cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2026/02/11/f...

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing

Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earn…
