My “all good sci-fi starts with a meal and ends on a beach” theory seems to have struck a chord with listeners. I’ve made a 1-page sci-fi game that is nothing but meals and beaches. It’s goes as hard as I can make a game this small. half-apress.itch.io/6-meals-in-s...

Co-hosting a podcast was not on my to-do list this year, but when Andrew asked if wanted to join him reviewing sci-fi TTRPGs, I couldn't say no. We spoke for the first time whilst recording the premier episode and reviewed Death in Space. Get it in your ears here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Can anyone recommend some TTRPG blog reviewers? I wrote a #mothershiprpg module last year called CRYO-SIQ that I still enjoy running. I'd love to try and send out some review copies and get more people talking about it.

Hey! A doog I know is co-hosting a TTRPG podcast highlighting scifi genres. First episode is talking about Death In Space by Christian Plogfors and Carl Niblaeus. If you enjoy freezing in the uncaring, merciless vacuum of space as much as I do... check it out: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a...

Tfw you get into 1h 20m of the recording and realise you’ve only covered one third of the book.

Reader, we started a podcast about it. Watch this space.

The way I fixed this the last time I said there wasn’t enough podcasts talking about something was by starting a podcast about it

Maps as data and graphs, part 1. www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/maps-as-data

Building a better vocabulary for maps

Part 1 of a series on making better maps by thinking about them as graphs and data, based on a talk I gave at Harrisburg University.

This made my day. Thanks for the glowing feedback and I'm glad this was a hit with you. I have a deep and abiding fondness for sword and sorcery, so this was a joy to put together.

33. The Lemurian Larder by @doogface.bsky.social A venomous hexcrawl in the Age of Conan for Black Sword Hack 🐍 Gorgeous map, art, & layout. This may be the most on-theme of any of the entries I've reviewed thus far! Deadly environments, snake cults, clever puzzles, sweet loot- this ROCKS!

So... this happened. tenfootpole.org/ironspike/?p...

Blown away by the positive responses on this. The whole experience has been so fun and upbeat.

 I have never asked for your vote before, I have no tongue for it. No-one will remember if you downloaded this adventure or why, all that matters that you did, and judged this one against many. Grant me your vote in the 2026 Appendix N Jam, and if you do not listen, then Crom take you!  #appxnjam

6 people sitting down to play in my west marches Gradient Descent campaign tonight. Two have never played Mothership before. Two of them are absolute wrecks after their last dive and have 19 and 14 stress respectively as well as the doomed and deflated conditions. PITY THEM.

Hey gang, if you missed my Kickstarter but you're at GenCon, head to the Arcane Library booth at 2464 because I sent them a (very) small number of proof copies of the new zines! Grab them if you can! #osr #dnd #ttrpg

my hot take on that deathbringer thing that everybody is dunking on is that its not actually very dark or edgy.

Stalwart 3d6 DTL community member and all-around good person @demielgato.bsky.social is launching an #OSE zine on Kickstarter soon! First 32 pp issue is Olig-Vald, a micro-hexcrawl crammed with gameable material. Go sign up and show them your support! #TTRPG www.kickstarter.com/projects/365...

My good friend Demi is going to be launching a kickstarter. You get to confront xenophobic racists, exploitative capitalists destroying the environment and confront a techbro unleashing a little understood technology. Feels pretty topical! They would love it if you follow their pre-launch page.

Someone just posted this on my recent adventure submission to the Appendix N Jam and I have a huge goofy smile on my face right now.

Foolishly agreed to do this after getting overexcited writing for the Appendix N Jam. Only have a week to get my shit together and am frantically drawing floor plans in sepia tones.

I made a thing for the Appendix N 2026 game jam! My assigned title was The Lemurian Larder so naturally I wrote and laid out 4 A5 pages of heart-eating Hyborian Black Sword Hack hex crawl. Grab a copy for free and stab a few Stygian jackals whilst bellowing Crom! #osr #appendixN #blackswordhack

I'm trying so hard to come up with a joke about Tantalus. It's so close, I can almost taste it. Oh well.

I came up with a joke about Cassandra, but no one believes me.

I came up with a joke about Procrustes, but it's probably time to put it to bed.

Apropos of nothing in particular, this looks like a sweet miniature and you should buy it.
