Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids?

Kicked the tires on Daggerheart this weekend.
The short version: I’m going to run a TTRPG campaign with it.
Fate is my ride or die, but I’ve been wanting something with more crunch.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.
JD Vance accuses the slain Renee Good of perpetrating "an attack on federal law enforcement, an attack on law and order, and attack on the American people"
"That woman was there to interfere with a legitimate law enforcement operation," he adds, repeatedly referring to her as "that woman"

I expected more from Discord events.
Last month our TTRPG group's server of choice, Guilded, closed its doors.
While I'm working on a Discord Clone for D&D, it isn't ready yet so that group decided to move to Discord.

I'm going to be running a Daggerheart one-shot this weekend to test out the system.
Fate is my ride or die, but I cut my teeth on D&D, especially 3.5.
Lately I've been wanting something that scratched the itch of the crunch of 3.5 while working with the zero free time that I have.

One of the things I've started to love in RPGs as an adult is when they are complete games, adventure and all.
To be clear, I'm not talking about prewritten adventures. Those have rails. And rails are not a bad thing! I've enjoyed playing and running many a railroad.

The Brindlewood Bay Murder Mavens have prevented the Midwives from birthing an eldritch horror!
Our Void Mystery started out as a regular mystery. The Mavens were witnesses at the trial of a previous suspect when that suspect is murdered in the court room!

Our Brindlewood Bay campaign is coming to close soon. In fact, tomorrow I run the Void Mystery but that isn't going to be the last session.
We've decided that after the Void Mystery, which is the real end of the campaign, we are going to have an Epilogue.

Spending time today working on my Discord Clone for D&D. I'm aiming for a mix of Discord, Fari, and MediaWiki.
I'm hoping to alpha test it in December.

Not only are there a metric buttload of great games in here (Monster of the Week! Blades in the Dark! Thirsty Sword Lesbians!) but if you dig down into the Gate section, in the Worlds in Shadow book you’ll find Crimeworld, which is me puking out Heist and Con 101, for #ttrpg use or whatever you want
As the year winds down we want to take a moment.
2025 marks our twentieth year in business. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our little company with their time, money, or talent. Thank you!
To celebrate, we've put our whole catalog on sale.

I'm making a Discord clone for Dungeons and Dragons. Well, every tabletop RPG, actually. This is the second update on that journey.
