I feel better that it's going to take like another week or so for me to actually take the physical copies of my Kickstarter to the post office

I cannot imagine a use case for wanting AI to fill in a field in google sheets like beyond all other issues with AI

People were writing blog posts about names like two weeks ago, so I wrote one of my own This is mostly about the random name generators I made and the thought process behind them. seedlinggames.com/blogging/wor...

now that I think about it, I play both OSR and story games, and both have been similarly deadly unless the game explicitly doesn't have character death (I haven't actually played that much Mothership, I do tend to play more Cairn-type games though)

Valeria Loves@valerialoves.bsky.social · 4w ago

I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

redrawing a hex map I used for a cataphracts game

what should I use to host a wiki It will be small, visible on the internet, have a relatively small number of editors I would be willing to pay a small amount of money to have it be ad free I would prefer it not to be a ton of work to do

I'm going to try and write more frequent, less serious blog posts about cataphracts This one is a bunch of miscellaneous thoughts, many of which might be familiar from the discord seedlinggames.com/blogging/cat...

In case you didn't see, my very bad no-good awful piece is now live: spacebiff.com/2026/09/01/g...

One big effect that being part of online ttrpg communities has had on me is running much fewer games, because I started worrying if I was doing a good enough job, something I never worried about when it was just me and some friends and some books, and it became a little stressful

one thing I am a strong believer in is Running The Big Scary Dream Game. everybody says "oooh there's this wild game concept I've always wanted to run..." do it. make the gdoc. start prepping now. set a date for session zero. go go go

I've played TTRPGs for a lot longer but I've been talking about them online and occasionally publishing things since 2020. It's been long enough to see people come and go but not nearly as long as some people. I've never been terribly successful but I have been around.

getting ready to print The Sierra Express via Mixam I really like getting a box of physical copies to send out, but it's sort of feeling increasingly impractical. Especially with international shipping. I think probably I'll do Lulu in the future

I'm looking for a piece of software that I remember existing like 25 years ago, probably as a level editor for one of the Maxis sim games, but which I don't know of any more.

I made a website for converting CSVs into tables! (kinda) I was getting annoyed trying to import 810 rows into Affinity and figured this would have been more worth the time and effort instead. Use case is mostly for tables that are ungodly long. deer.stream/CSV2Tables/

Played Night Tripper for the first time, it seems like maybe free rules light traveler? I've never actually played traveler.

Ran A Familiar Tower today and there was only one part of the puzzle dungeon i misunderstood and ran incorrectly

seedlinggames.com/tools/placen... More moving perchance generators over This one generates place names that are made up of two English words It's basically a bunch of small word lists in various thematic combinations so like you'll get different adjectives for a fort vs a forest

It's been a minute. So here's my Stock Art Artists Starter Pack again. go.bsky.app/2khFm1H

I just want to play a cataphracts game about pursuing goals and objectives with my team members, is this too much to ask for

seedlinggames.com/tools/mercha... I've now moved my random merchant generator away from Perchance. It is very Graphic Design Is My Passion though

Reading this was like getting to see a future where I die. A very funny post for people who dig too deep into online rpg discourse: whosemeasure.blogspot.com/2026/08/do-n...

The Blackwater Font is my Appendix N Jam submission! (as well as my second submission for Violence in July) Loosely inspired by Boot Hill and the Fear of Dice, it provides 21 NPCs all with their own relationships and vendettas within a town perfect for any OSR game yyakamo.itch.io/the-blackwat...

I'm trying to get back into playing and running more conventional RPGs again and I am remembering how they are actually really hard to schedule

I was starting to get annoyed at all the AI spam on Perchance which was previously a pretty cool tool for random generators so I am starting to move the generators to my website unfortunately I then need to learn javascript seedlinggames.com/tools/names....

I really like having physical copies for things but I need to figure out if there is literally space in my apartment for Seven Part Pact
