Inspiring! In September Colliders brought @pearseanderson.bsky.social and Didre Schutte to talk about their experiences. Pearse about building media attention for your projects and Didre about finding her voice & her summer at @schoolofma.bsky.social in Berlin! Thanks for sharing!

15MIN's back and he brought you something from the store

Also this reminds me of the sticker sheet I CANNOT bring myself to use (from @bouletcorp.bsky.social I think?) (this was a while ago) I love ALL of these cheeses yes even the ones that look a LITTLE BIT SHADY

Literally what fandom discourse has turned into I fear.

Having to develop 20 unique rooms in a few days feels like a bit of a challenge, but when Jay Dragon told me the Wanderhome picklists got built over one weekend (I might be OVERestimating), I felt confident I could do something for this that'd be enough for the game night.

This is rabbit ears! A free web tool that lets you search for words and phrases in youtube captions. I developed it specifically for finding vocal samples, so you can download clips as mp3s right from the interface. All free & hosted on my skrunkly little server :3 🐇 rabbitears.wangleline.com

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

steam sale is rn so go buy whatever @caseyexplosion.bsky.social recommends

If I get invited to a PowerPoint party I AM going to spend 3 hours preparing the slides and making a whole in-universe B-plot inside this.

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

Added 3 to my collection from this thread, wonderful!

A NON-COMPREHENSIVE THREAD OF GAMES I LOVE THAT YOU SHOULD GET IN THE ITCH SALE. Hello. I like cozy solo journaling games, weird little silly things, introspective shit, GMless stuff... anyway, I'm going to create a thread of games I like that YOU should go check out in the Itch sale!

the kids are alright &c

Where are you reading your analog gaming news these days? How do you see what's happening in the board game or TTRPG space?

my body is a machine that transports authentication codes from my screen to my phone and some other supporting auxiliary functions

One of my sidequests in the last year has been to argue for indie TTRPG's inclusion in the art world, partially so that I can apply for arts funding, display work in artistic spaces, and potentially make space in a new(er) niche. It's been..interesting! Needs more practice. But the idea is solid.

If you ever need inspiration for liminal spaces, just search for "empty room" in public domain images

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Over the past few weeks I did some fantasy architectural warmup doodles just about every day, wich was fun and good practise. If you have any use for these, they are up on itch under a Creative Commons (BY-NC 4.0) license! Happy mapping everyone! #rpg #osr simiofdoom.itch.io/mapping-assets

I frequently describe ttrpg theory as people extrapolating the Wright Brothers' plane into space travel and I won't stop. We don't have a collective theory of what a roleplaying game is but we're very confident we know exactly how many entries in a roll table is ideal.

The Third Edition of Building Blocks of Tabletop Game Design is releasing in July! New mechanics have been added, but more importantly we expanded many entries, included more pictures, and now have questions at the end of each chapter to help game educators. Third time's the charm? 🎲✂️

Thank you @untitledgamesevent.bsky.social for letting me present "BEWARE OF THE CARTOGRAPHER!" in Amsterdam yesterday 🤗 It was a real pleasure to be so well received and to get such a warm welcome from the public! 🥰 [ last photo by @yancong.bsky.social & @pearseanderson.bsky.social ]

I don't know yet how to get my Bluesky feed to look like my Twt feed originally did. It probably never will, but I feel like I'm still on the outside of the indie analog game community. I feel like there's a door or community "starter pack" or ??? I have to join that'll reconfigure this feeling.

Some fav bits from the MANIFESTO JAM "The point here is that there are many actual players still scared of what a perceived audience will think of their art if they transgress... This is not how art works. That’s commerce. We aren’t making the money to justify commerce." by @jellyfishlines.itch.io

Hi after joining this platform 2+ years ago and never really going here I think I should TRY to REJOIN another short-form text platform where a lot of my connections have moved. This begins "Blue Month," where I see if I like it here. And this is a (re)introduction. Where have I been? Well... 1/x

Photograph of the Port Hills/Adventure Park fire near #Ōtautahi /#Christchurch, as I saw it at 3:45 PM. Intense, large, and ever-changing. I would photograph it into the night. I hope everyone is safe + the firefighters are having an easy time. #porthills #firealert #photojournalism #nzjournalism
