Last year got the pleasure to make an illustration for Daggerheart : Hope and Fear expansion. AD : Shaun Ellis

Having now taken the time to properly digest this, let me say: This is something else! Not just a great new playbook, not just impeccable layout, but a whole magazine's worth of new factions (each with their own business card).

Dissonance@mothlands.bsky.social · last mo.

It’s been released! moth-lands.itch.io/the-contender Along with a bonus rolodex of factions I’m calling Lace & Leisure.

and Denae Benites hits the first home run in Women's Pro Baseball League history!

It’s GenCon soon, which means it’s another day closer to when you can GET SOME OF MY GAMES

Aaron Lim 林家丰@ehronlime.bsky.social · last mo.

If you're at GenCon, you can get my games What Should We Have Tomorrow? (solo journaling game about cooking for your loved ones) and Ithaca in the Cards: Second Expedition (blackjack play-to-lose storygame inspired by The Odyssey) at the IPR booth!

ENnies voting is still up and if you've haven't already considered A Land Once Magic for Best Rules I'd love for you to vote for it! vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/ I have a feeling that to some "Best Rules" is an odd nomination for ALOM but it's the one that means the most to me!

So, so pleased that the excellent @applecider.bsky.social attended the opening of @tabletopbookshelf.com's physical store on Rascal's behalf, and then wrote this beautiful story about the path that owner Tom Gibes took from wide-eyed fan to small press patron.

25 creators did this last year, and most were successful in funding their smaller projects. We chatted with them last September. www.ttrpginsider.news/p/gamefound-... The initiative is very similar to Zinetopia, although I think the funding averages were higher.

Gamefound's RPG Party: Indie TTRPG Creators Get Crowdfunding Boost

[SPECIAL] RPG Party 2026 - Open Call - Gamefound

ultimately, I'd like a more structured and formal place to yap, but maintaining a newsletter or a blog takes a lot of energy. I'm afraid of it feeling pointless but, talking and never doing is also pointless, so I should just do it esp bc I want more of the kind of talking I want to do out there

Gena 🐐@genathan.bsky.social · 4mo ago

maybe I SHOULD just commit to a newsletter or blog or something I already do so much yapping in Tumblr and want to write more formalized articles as is

(coworkers reacting with laughing emojis to my slack messages) This is great. I am going to get a good grade in being a coworker, something that is normal to want and possible to achieve,

I keep wanting to post more here but my issue is I've been too busy to have interesting thoughts lately, and short-form isn't where I thrive

I've been so long out of the game I have no idea anymore what sites are accepting pitches about actual play, especially more cultural criticism focused pieces

If you're looking for an editor, my availability starts in June! I'm open for developmental and line/copy editing, and I'm prioritizing games that are < 10k words. You can find more information, testimonials, and a list of games I've edited on my website. www.blinkingbirchgames.com/editing

I'm about to have a significant amount of time in my hands, and I'm considering again doing a blog about actual play just to have a formal place for thoughts about it. But, I don't know if it should be a Patreon or a Substack or an otherwise separate blog.

This Week on Party of One: DON'T KILL A BIRD WITH A BASEBALL FEAT. TOM HARRISON @tomharrison.bsky.social @ratbastardgames.bsky.social Tom from @animesickos.bsky.social, my actual favorite podcast, joins me as we try to avoid killing a bird w/ a baseball. www.partyofonepodcast.com/2026/04/05/4...

I really gotta be more active on here, but I don't have anything to report on 😭 Full time job employed with none left over for hobbies or personal writing

I've been playing Crown Gambit all day, and I've been enjoying it a ton. Some really interesting worldbuilding, beautiful visual style, and delightful mechanics. The influenced response mechanic is one of my favorite mechanics I've seen in a minute.

I've been absolutely awful about posting here, but I've once again arrived in the fair city of Philly for PAX U. :3c

If you’re at PAX West, please come to the Relationship Between Game Design and Art Direction tomorrow, Sunday, on the main stage at 11am PT. If you’re not at the show you can tune in, and see me, your host, along with Naoki Yoshida and Hiroshi Minagawa! www.youtube.com/live/aB2WfPs...
