It’s been a bit, so I thought I’d check in on Bluesky and see what’s up. However, the first post in my feed is tying together two of my favorite games with my current fixation (TTRPGs) and I feel like nothing else is likely to top this. So cheers interwebs, I’m putting my phone away for the day ☕️

(Phantasy Star) I have to say that GMing with a video game OST playlist is delightful. I really enjoy using the sprites too as tokens. I would love to GM a Metroid RPG.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

We're 1 week into the Kickstarter for The Comics Staple, and I couldn't be more pleased with how excited people are about this project. I want the Staple to be useful to comics readers, so to hear that there is a hunger for what we're making is wonderful. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Sam Kieth. His style was harsh, delicate, bizarre, it was all the things. So rich and unique you can spot it a mile away. He showed us that even when the world tells you otherwise, being different is okay. More than okay, it’s imperative. RIP

A stretch goal has been added to THE CASTLE AUTOMATIC, the new dungeon for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM. If we get 999 early worms, we'll add an option for discounted Divination Boards! A Divination Board is like a GM screen that reveals, not obscures, information. Put your tarot cards on them!

A fold out game board with panels of information. The cover has the four tarot suits.A fold out game board with panels of information. The cover has the His Majesty the Worm logo.

The first page we turn to after the ToC, The forest’s thickness is lessening, with room for paths of turned earth, rectangular pits, a whiteness as of mushrooms peeping from the ground. With horror we see from the thirteenth tarot that the underbrush is fertilized with half-withered corpses...

I stumbled upon HMtW last year while looking into the game ShadowDark. Its logo, which makes use of the same John Bauer piece as my ourobous tattoo, immediately caught my eye. Centered around dungeon exploration it uses tarot cards instead of dice, just a beautiful book that feels made for me.

Patching up the Buchla Easel Command with the Folktek Resonant Garden utilising a chain of three effects (long delay > pitch shifter > shimmer delay). There's an entire world to explore just with this simple patch.
