Alex MJ 🎲🎃 - Fight or Fright out now! @mixuppixels.bsky.social · Oct 22

Kia ora! I'm Alex, a Game Designer and Podcaster from Aotearoa/New Zealand, currently living in Vienna, Austria!

I make a podcast called Wait, Roll That Again!, which is kind of like a game design behind-the-scenes documentary for TTRPGs, currently about my first game, Fight or Fright!

A Pink cartoon scarecrow is the focus of this book cover. The Game's title, Fight or Frgiht, is in orange spooky writing. A subtitle reads "A Halloween Trick-Or-Treat RPG" A Smiling Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin is in the top right, with text around it reading Alex Marinkovich-Josey

A Green and white six-sided Die sits on red background. One face of the die has the numbers replaced with bold text that reads Wait, Roll That Again!

Reshare: Even as TSR and D&D’s early periods receive the gold-standard treatment, there’s much more to the hobby than one game and one company. But are those histories actually important? What is at stake if we forget them?

Today Dice Exploder kicks off a miniseries on actual play, where each ep we cover one moment of play. First up is @rowanzeoli.bsky.social on the very beginning of My First Dungeon's Orbital Blues series, and an overview of where AP is at as a medium. Plus: is AP a fiction or nonfiction medium?

Actual Play: The First 30 Minutes (My First Dungeon: Orbital Blues) with Rowan Zeoli — Dice Exploder

It's a new series on Dice Exploder all about actual play. For five episodes, instead of breaking down one mechanic, we're going to break down one moment from one actual play show. This week: the openi...

I had Em on the second season of my podcast when we talked about designing for the Game Master role and EXILE. I am so so excited to finally get this game in my hands!!

The brilliant new twinned game project by illustrator/designer Em Acosta.

Crescent is about kids who go to the dream world. Then Exile is about them as teenagers in the nightmare world. So rad lol
