Good lawd that was a fun miniseries! It's amazing how much character development and story you can squeeze into 5 sessions! Catch them all on the Halfling Wizards YouTube if you missed it or even if you didn't, go rewatch all the big robot drama all over again!

In about 2 hours, I'll be going live running the finale of my End Stage Mechaclysm miniseries over at twitch.tv/halfling_wizard_prod It's been a helluva topsy turvy 5 session ride and it's going to be an absolutely explosive finish that'll hopefully tie up a bunch of story arcs that have sprouted.

I need to bring something positive to the table to counteract the shitstorm. 💪🔥 So for Movember this year I'll be promoting/ featuring/ spotlighting SOLO / DUET GAMES BY TRANS CREATORS - if you're Trans and want me to feature your game, hit me up here or via email (in bio) 🥰

This adversarial attitude towards unions needs to stop. What many ppl miss is that not only do workers need unions, the businesses do too. If your workforce is having issues a union can help with, either they won't be as productive or they're just gonna leave you. Unions can help fix those problems.

Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755

Just what I've been needing! I already can tell this is going to be dang good!

Announcing Better Than Mechs, a TTRPG AP podcast, dropping this autumn. Follow for more details!

I am once again on the hunt for new audio promos and trailers for the midrolls in Cybertopia season 3! If you have literally anything in the TTRPG space that is happening soon and has a trailer, plz shoot it my way. I'm talking APs, streams, game launches, crowdfunds... any of that stuff.

Oooh forgot to post about new Cybertopia ep yesterday - we're back to our pattern of 2 episode missions again, so this time we get to see Zapp, Nox, Constant and Se-an traumatise a poor soul (not for the first time) as they go brain-diving in a back-alley basement. open.spotify.com/episode/4KRE...

🚨NICHE JOURNO REQUEST🚨 I'm looking to speak with someone who intricately understands how Video Games Tax Relief functions here in the UK. Have a few questions about something that may or may not be a story!

Need a little assist if anyone knows any good sources.. I'm looking for an illustration of a corporate board meeting kinda scene. It needs to be creative commons or public domain and absolutely not AI generated. Note: I am not wanting someone to create this for me - any offers will be blocked.

My stock response to the folks now saying they include “just a little AI” in their shitty games.

I find it hard to talk about genAI. There are so many complex problems, it's difficult to know where to begin and how to explain them. So I set myself a challenge: choose 5 key issues with genAI and talk about them clearly in less than 30 minutes. Here's what I made. I hope you find it useful!

Generative AI is bad for TTRPGs (and the world)

I'm looking to talk to layout designers - considering getting some work done but first wanna chat about how it all works because I've never worked with one before. Process, pricing, timescales, that sorta jazz. If you are one, plz pop me a message :)

Check out my friend's new game - it's playable in-browser in itch! It is extremely cute :D

Ugh completely lost momentum on Hearts & Minds :/ it's all edited and ready but needs laying out and art. Need to find some time and energy between day job, union stuff and editing Cybertopia. Definitely taking a break from running new games after Mechaclysm finishes next week. Need this done

Looking for some new TTRPG Actual Plays to listen to while I walk on the trail/at the gym. Send em my way pls!! 🥰🙏🏾 Here's what I'm looking for - No DND/Daggerheart - Around 90min or less each episode - Edited (not too much OOC) - Ambience/Music is a plus :) #TTRPG #actualplay #recommendations

Suddenly feeling anxious and I have no idea why or what about :/

We're hiring! We're looking for a Writer and Narrative Designer to join the Fallen London team at a senior or mid level. This position is permanent, remote, and full time, which for us means 35 hours a week. #GamesJobs

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Hi there folks, while I'm reluctant to spam BSky I'm getting a bit desperate. @uklta.bsky.social is running its next #LARP Cyberpunk: A Life on the Edge next weekend and we've been hit by some crew dropouts that are close to making it non-viable.

Going live with session 4 of End Stage Mechaclysm over at www.twitch.tv/halfling_wiz... at half past! Come see @bachrach.bsky.social @stellarencore.bsky.social and @phonthelegend.bsky.social in their giant robots as they return from a brief jaunt into space and come back to a very stable world...

The dissonant feeling of realising you're teetering on burning out but also there are ideas you absolutely want to run as games as soon as you can 🙃

Had a (completely mundane) dream the other day where an old friend I'd lost contact with 10 years ago popped up. The next day I sent them an email to say hi and I'm sad we lost that friendship. They actually replied and I'm so happy about that. Might try to rekindle other lost friendships now!

Games Not (Only) By Cis-Dudes 🧵 (list in progress I keep on my phone & pasting here) * Apocalypse World * For the queen * The quiet year * Yazeba’s bed and breakfast * Seven part pact * Kagematsu & A single man * Tales of the Fisherman’s Wife * Steal Away Jordan * A Mending * Field guide to memory

This year I wanna play more RPGs written or created by women or mostly women teams, indies and self-promo extremely welcome. Please drop your recs below, I need help to find hidden gems 🙏 Also looking for one-shot games 👀

In the past year I announced to some spaces online that I'm bisexual and use he/they pronouns. Seeing as it's apparently bisexual awareness day, it feels relevant to talk about my situation... I'm in a monogamous, loving marriage with a cis woman. I have never had romantic interactions with a man.

Fellow font-fetishist friends, do you have any recommendations of where to get good free (or affordable) fonts?

Season 3 is here and the first ep is an absolute banger! Join @morganjtempest.bsky.social @stellarencore.bsky.social @bigcampaignpodcast.bsky.social & Aidan as they plot the further downfall of a poor old ex-colleague they got fired way back in season 1! open.spotify.com/episode/6QUA...

Looking for someone who can do 90’s point-and-click style pixel art for a commission. Short notice but it’d need to be done in the next two weeks. Lemme know if that’s you, and share your portfolio please!

First pass edit on an episode today and realised this session was massively wonky in terms of when the "midpoint" break was :| Oh well, I guess y'all getting a long ep then short one pattern going....

What are good games if I like Nuclear Throne, Noita, and similar fast-paced, low-threshold, high-risk action games that you can play for ten minutes at a time.
