Is this Heaven? It’s Chicago. Fog rolls into the South Loop on Saturday evening at sunset.

Chris Addison has a wonderful riff about art. You can enter an opera house from two doors. The foyer leads you through gilt and red velvet to an opulent space to see magic. The stage door reveals nails and ropes and gaffer tape and greasepaint and mess. >>

Recently I've taken part in a bunch of discord live text games and each has reminded me in in some way of my larp experiences. This blog post is an attempt to explore those similarities, and see what lessons the LTRP scene can learn from its in person cousins. thegardenbelow.blot.im/setting/expe...

Solid advice. In fact, I'll take this one step further. Let's all sit down at the same time somewhere people can see us. Like a sit in, but for visibility.

Yeeeeeehawwww Disability Pride Month! My personal advice is: sit yo ass down! Ain't nothing noble in standing if you need to sit! Use that mobility aid! Find a chair! Hell, sit on a friend if they're cool with it!

Dressing the part is half the job!

forgot to announce this yesterday but the first of our pre-season3 interlude eps is up and we have a hilarious mini session where Zappp, Nox, Constant & Se-an start setting up the Muscle Mansion... spoilers: they mostly care about clothes open.spotify.com/episode/7LlW...

What high quality meals does everyone eat that don't require heat? And none of that noodles in your armpit hiker business! #heatwave

Looking again to expand my AP performer knowledge... Who's your favourite older femme performers, like 50y/o+ folk? It feels like an indictment to age and gender diversity that I can't be sure I actually know of any!

I've been thinking a lot about experiencing joy and how it's largely a choice. Was having a conversation last night with another American British person about how some people actively choose fewer, smaller moments of joy, sometimes even taking pride in it.

Published CONT/EXT on @rpg-trader.bsky.social as a test, and it's pretty cute and cozy.

James Joyce is gonna read this and come back from the dead so he can publish Finnegan's Wake 2 out of sheer spite.

Not to be the THAT guy, but the way D&D tends to tie people down to a false sense of reality is one of my biggest bugbears with the game. It always seemed to appeal most to people who need to be led to water.

Rob Donoghue@rdonoghue.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I often wrestle with the profoundly unimportant question of whether or not D&D should make sense.

Just got my author copies of the new FIFTH SEASON RPG book from Green Ronin! This is the special edition, and it's gorgeous. Ozzy agrees. Official release is on June 20, available in most game and book stores. You can still preorder here: greenroninstore.com/products/fif...

What is it about getting in the car and "running errands" that makes me feel so grown up and responsible? Does anyone else feel like that?

The Jackdaw plucking fur off a moulting deer the bird gather soft warm nesting material, and the deer gets a free, highly appreciated, grooming that removes itchy, loose winter hair and ticks

The jackdaws let me watch them today without flying off!!!

Does this look more like a dark pidgeon or a light corvid feather to you? Either way I've put 10p out in thanks. Need to collect useless shiny things to pay the birds with...

Today sees the release of the last episode of season 2 of Cybertopia and our final group eventually makes it to the newly established central base (of sorts), the Muscle Mansion. But first they've got to get out of an underground Hexacomm facility... open.spotify.com/episode/2s6d...

Oh hey, so I've been sitting on this for like a week because... well, life... but: Cybertopia hit 5,000 listens recently AND made the finalist list for the Colorado Webfest! So proud of this lil show and our wonderful cast! :D

You ever have one of those sessions that just feels so great, you wanna go and watch it back immediately after it ends? Damnn, I'm buzzing right now!

Okay okay, I can see how you might be confused, but no puppies should be harmed in a game of Punch Puppy. It's like Punch Buggy, it's about puppy identification. I think.

Should I write a business card sized duet rpg, for walks, called Punch Puppy???

The #RomantasyTTRPG jam starts TODAY and ends at the end of August. Whether you're brand new to designing games or a veteran, come make something fun with us 🥰 itch.io/jam/romantas...

🫣 I don't have an AP acting reel. What? Huh? How? It sounds really hard to do, but I want one...

I made a "chimera selector" out of cardboard. I will draw temporary tattoos on people for an event so it is kind of my flash sheet.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Has anyone got any Notion templates for running #ttrpg games with? Thinking about exporting mine for people after I give it a test run. Awful proud, but haven't been able to run it by anyone because my usuals are all the players 🤣

Nothing like a giggle session with trusted friends over lines and veils and what atrocities we can commit with/against each other to heal the soul.

Session 0.5 of Dragonbane tonight. I've never run anything I didn't have prepared in its entirety before starting. But this is our next rotating-gm short campaign in a fortnightly game night, and these guys really make me feel like I can do it.
