Been around since the movie Alien and Joy Division's album Unknown Pleasures. Into games since Road Fighter for MSX and Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Ed. Cast Member in +H: Rajatiloja TTRPG Actual Play.

Random odd thread from gaming history: First published dungeon: Palace of the Vampire Queen (Arguably) First story-based adventure: Ravenloft Then - Vampire: the Masquerade. Vampires beget stories, apparently.

After last night's @cyberpunk.net themed #TTRPG session I as the GM am loving how the players bring their characters' (veterans starting a taxi company in Night City) assets, allies, enemies to the story. Also, they embrace the Rules of Style over Substance, Attitude is Everything, Live on the Edge.

A collection of material from the Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. tabletop roleplaying game and Cyberpunk 2077 video game. The material consists of two six-sided and two ten-sided dice from the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit, a map of Night City from the Cyberpunk 2077 video game's physical version for PS4, the cover of the Cyberpunk 2077 The Complete Official Guide book by Piggyback, a spread of the Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. TTRPG's Finnish edition rulebook as well as the top cover of the same boxed set, and a printed character sheet customized for my Cyberpunk TTRPG campaign that is set in the 2070s and tells the story of Unification War veterans who are starting a taxi company in Night City.

Writers, just tell your story. Don't worry if it's checking every box on some standard model of a perfect plot or hitting every point of the story diamond (please!). Write the story you want to tell the way you want to tell it. Use your own voice and your own words. It's your story!

I’ve said this before, but artists, if you’re open for work you need to have your contact details and website pinned on your profile somewhere!!! If I can’t take a job I will always try and recommend other artists but you’re making this difficult!!

"Day 167 orbit 2587 — Movies sometimes make it look easy to put on a spacesuit and head outside. In reality, getting two astronauts and their spacesuits ready for the vastly hostile environment just beyond the Station takes a looooong time", says @esa.int astronaut Sophie Adenot. 🎥 ESA/NASA

Näin pöytäroolipelien harrastajana, missä nopat ovat usein pelivälineenä samastun vahvasti kaikkiin näihin tunnetiloihin mielekkäiden tulosten tuomasta ilosta kriittisten epäonnistumisten aiheuttamiin kirpaisuihin. 🎲👍

”So the next time you roll some dice, realise you are taking part in the same sense of play – the suspense, the joy, the sting of a bad throw – that people also felt 12,000 years ago.” Ihminen on kyllä ihmeellinen!

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.

Had a wonderful evening celebrating a friend's birthday with cake, good discussions & Legendary Encounters: Predator. The co-op deck builder allowed us to experience the 1st Predator film, and after a tense game to... Get to the Choppa! Many thanks & HBD @kentti.bsky.social! 🥳👍

An image of the end of a game session of Legendary Encounters: A Predator Deck Building Game. There are various cards placed on the top of the game's playmat all of which have been protected with transparent plastic sleeves. The topmost card is "The Choppa!", the objective that our group managed to achieve and with that win the game.

KÄÄK! Flunssainen valokuvaaja peruutti viime tingassa huomisten diskojulkkareiden potrettikuvauksen. Olisiko täällä Helsingissä vaikuttavaa valokuvaajaa, joka olisi valmis täyttämään nämä suuret saappaat? Kuvaukset onnistuisivat ripeästi. Ajankohta noin 17.50–18.10.
