I'm no sports guy, but a friend shared me this interview with Alexandra Eala, the fast rising tennis superstar. Having the ability to participate in professional sports on an international level is a moonshot for most Filipino athletes. But PH folks are citing her privilege like some kind of gotcha.

An interview with the Filipina sensation on navigating the ups and downs of sudden superstardom.

I love Boston for many reasons, but today I found a new one: the incredible @sidequestbooks.bsky.social - a book and game shop in Somerville with the most impressive collection of indie TTRPGs I've seen in my life. Incredible stuff, better than the IPR booth at any convention. 🔥 1 /

itch.io/b/3484/no-ic... The NO ICE IN MINNESOTA bundle is up. There's a lifetime's worth of good games in this! If you submitted something or just want to shout something out, reply here and let's reshare it and spread the word on this thing.
It's good that Rascal has issued corrections clarifying no breach of contract & contextualizing how much everyone was paid. But some of their readers continue to believe Jay didn't pay us — and will likely keep harassing her and spreading the original article's disinformation for years to come.
I am extremely grateful for people's support and getting it to 100%. I have budgeted the Kickstarter for the production of the game and paying my collaborators professional freelance rates, with little money left for myself. Any extra helps. 👉👈
W.H. Arthur RPG@wharthur.bsky.social · 9mo agoThanks for everyone's support, Mud Ghost Estate Redux have reached 100%! ✨ With under 24 hours left, can we push it a bit further? 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...
work on seven-part pact draft 4 continues with a new wizard !! the mariner has been updated with rules for nereids and some tidied up stuff.
![Nereids in Play
Nereids may cast magic through their associated Element, rolling 3 Dice of Personal or Arcane Import in that Element. Nereids are utterly immune to any magic from their Element, and have 1 Ward against each other Element.
A wizard may schedule and spend an Engagement on a Nereid to attempt to capture them. If the wizard fails, the Nereid will flee and can never be found again.
When a Nereid is Bound, the wizard replaces his associated Companion with the Nereid. As long as the Nereid is the wizard's Companion, the wizard rolls twice as many Dice whenever he casts a spell of the associated Element. Additionally, if the wizard casts a spell of the associated Element in the presence of his Nereid, he may choose the result of one of the dice rolled. [footnote: The Selkie amongst your list of Companions is a minor Nereid, not strong enough to provide the benefits described here.]
If the Nereid ever stops being the wizard's Companion, or is unable to provide its care, it may take its revenge upon the wizard. The Nereid's fury is great and vast, and the older sisters of a vengeful Nereid have sometimes been called Erinyes. The Celestial Audience chooses 1 from below befitting the Nereid's anger, or may invent their own appropriate punishment:
Inflict a Game-Changing Impact upon the wizard's Domain.
Steal one of the wizard's other Companions and bring them to the Nereid's palaces beneath the seas.
Prophesize exactly how the wizard will die.
Sunder the wizard's soul — he may no longer ever cast magic with the associated Element.
Attack the wizard himself and play out a scene with him unprepared.
The Nereid will then flee, never to return.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rzjgafeykxv4du7aw6nftltp/bafkreib2lgzrkypc7yfh3fhz24ovlnbeshbajqzrffnua5uyaahbpckaqq)
After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games. If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here: evilhat.com/game-submiss...
Who would you love to hear talk about PbtA as a reflection on life and design? Obviously we want to get @megueyb.bsky.social & @lumpley.bsky.social on. I think @temporalhiccup.bsky.social @blg.bsky.social Avery Alder & @jdragsky.bsky.social would be a delight. What about you?
Plus One Exp @ 🔜 CIGS in Chicago@plusoneexp.bsky.social · 9mo agoIt’s a DOUBLE STREAM DAY! 1st joint Tony & @loottheroom.bsky.social as we talk about designing Down In Yongardry.

Blades '68! It's all go! Here are some chapter openers I've been working on.
Apocalypse World has had a bigger impact on my life than any other roleplaying game. It's just a phenomenal game, designed by phenomenal people. You should pick up a copy of the new edition!
MegueyB@megueyb.bsky.social · 10mo agoHere We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...
I still think about how much fun and electric this game was! I like designing games that give folks the room to Create Meaning. Jeff is one of the most spontaneously creative players I've ever played with!
Jeff Stormer@jeffstormer.gobirds.online · 10mo agoAnd our other Apocalypse Keys game with @temporalhiccup.bsky.social. I think all three of these are among my favorite episodes, in large part because of how you hear the mystery click into place, and you hear the grasping of "Okay, I see the big picture." www.partyofonepodcast.com/2022/10/06/3...
In #Absolum, I freed this chicken from captivity in one of the prisons of Jaroba. It followed me all the way to the final boss, Azra, the Sun King. It spent the entire fight being randomly targeted, but chickens are invincible in this game, so instead it was in a constant state of terror.
Loved working with Hipólita on Apocalypse Keys! Aside from contributing to Doomsday Delights, Hipólita GMed during the late playtesting phase, and offered great feedback that helped me with essential edits.
Hipólita@hipolita.itch.io · 10mo agohi all! I'm open for TTRPG writing work. I'm open for writing, design, consultancy, copy editing, dev editing, translation, anything to do with words! I've worked on Inevitable, Paint The Town Red, Apocalypse Keys, Drama Llamas, Orbital Blues, Mad As Hell, MORIAH and many more!
I am so grateful to Jason for handling the Herculean task or getting this game printed, and we could use your help to keep physical copies available!
Jason Pitre@genesisoflegend.bsky.social · 10mo agoI was overjoyed to have worked with @temporalhiccup.bsky.social to publish Once More Into the Void, his game of a crew of galactic heroes who have to come together for one last job, inspired by Mass Effect and Star Trek Picard. www.kickstarter.com/projects/Jag...
Apocalypse World is one of the best games, period, and what I've played of Burned Over was amazing. Absolutely can't wait for this!!!!
MegueyB@megueyb.bsky.social · 10mo agoT minus 11. An #ApocalypseWorldBurnedOver thread. In case you were wondering what we're cooking up in #AW3rd edition.
When I saw the way Apocalypse Keys did moves, it permanently altered the way I think about PbTA. A 10+ isn't always a good result, it's just a lot.

sam “ludonarrative disinterest” sorensen@samsorensen.bsky.social · 12mo agoone thing I'd really like to see more of in TTRPG scenes is critics with specific and well-known tastes who review projects outside their own circles anyways. both because critics should strive to understand their own preferences, and because I want sharp critiques from non-target audiences

At the Luneta Park, Mendiola, the EDSA Shrine, and the People Power Monument, photojournos Raffy Lerma and Ezra Acayan capture several rallies of protest, where rage poured out against a multibillion peso public works scandal.
The Rage from the Mendiola Protests, According to Photojournalists
On September 21, two Filipino photojournalists, Raffy Lerma and Ezra Acayan, captured the violent clashes in Mendiola as anti-corruption protests took place

Adler makes a point: Any game excludes people. Every decision excludes people. The impulse is "exclude no one" but this is wrong, impossible. The question you *should* ask is: Is this game excluding *the same people who every game tends to exclude*? *That* would be wrong. This point generalizes
