I realised that if I make a Pinterest board it counts as research.

I started looking at 70s/80s sci-fi novel covers for the vibes, but now I want to read every last one of them.

What TTRPGs have really good character creation, where it impacts who the character is, but doesn't define what they can do? Char gen that doesn't affect their abilities, attributes, etc?

Huge congratulations. This deserved Gold and I'm pretty sure this is the only ENNIE worth winning tbh

I'll reiterate the real honor was just to be nominated, but of course I'm enormously happy to have won. Thanks everyone for all your support. If you haven't seen what the fuss is about, check out the course. It's free! dungeons.hismajestytheworm.games

Live today featuring a story by me! Very excited about this one! Link below #horror #indieauthor #shortstory #horrorcommunity #booksky

It's genuinely fantastic that not only was Psi*Run 2e funded but it hit that first stretch goal. But imo it says a lot about the TTRPG industry writ large that Psi*Run, a game by a real luminary, barely broke $24k, and Neon Odyssey made over $16 million.

MegueyB@megueyb.bsky.social · 2w ago

Yelled so loud I woke the cat. I'm so excited. One of my most favorite things to do as a game designer/publisher is hire people to make art for my games. Even better is giving them more money in appreciation of that art.

Psi*Run 2e is less than $400 from reaching its first stretch goal. If you haven't backed this yet, do yourself a favour and get on this now. Especially if your previous TTRPG experience is rolling D20s and asking your DM what happens; this will break your brain. www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

TTRPG peeps, I'm begging you. If you release TTRPGs digitally, make sure your document file names contain the game's title (at minimum). It makes it really hard to keep track of the games I have and find the ones I'm looking for when the documents are called stuff like GAME DRAFT.pdf

Kinda crazy to see this reposted by @greatdismal.bsky.social - this clip is from Spy in the Wild, and I was working on that show while reading Neuromancer on my lunch break. And for the record, the egret this post is about is also a robot!

Today I posted about the One-Page RPG Jam, essentially a community event and not really self promotion (I'm not selling anything, asking you to download my stuff, w.e), and it was torpedoed by the mods almost instantly. 🤦 I guess they don't want people knowing about events? itch.io/jam/one-page...

I used to post a free game on r/RPG every month until they started taking them down as self-promotion. And like; it’s free. It’s a free thing. I haven’t offered a way to pay for it, even. Anyway that was in 2021 and I haven’t used the website since

Last night I ran an OD&D-based LARP inside my 5e campaign. Each PC adopted the role of Fighting-man, Magic-user, or Cleric (and one hireling) and took on OSR-style encounters using foam weapons and beanbags.

Once again, Best Online Content award is absolutely stacked!

If there was one thing I learned from UKGE this year, it was to stop thinking "I'll double back and pick that up later" and to just get it then and there instead.

James @ Unknown Dungeon@unknowndungeon.itch.io · 2mo ago

My haul from UKGE. Big thanks to @loottheroom.bsky.social for signing Down in Yongardy - do I put with my Troika! stuff or my gamebooks? Also excited to see more Laboratory of Death - an English language jubensha.

Hot take - this is terrible GM advice. Splitting the party lets you build tension, spread the spotlight around, and keep the energy up.

Some advice is worth yelling from the rooftops.

I once said to my old MD "it's editing, not life and death stuff like a doctor or something." Turned out that was the wrong thing to say.

As part of my look at Deep Cuts in this video, I discussed the influence of @megueyb.bsky.social's Psi*Run and it's risk sheet. If that sounded interesting, there is a new edition of Psi*Run on Kickstarter right now!
