Devastated to hear about Rob Wieland's passing - a wonderful, golden-hearted man, a brilliant writer and journalist, and a passionate advocate for games and the people who play and make them. Sending nothing but the utmost love and deepest condolences to his friends and family.

This is very sad news. I met Rob through the old bird site and he was always so excited to talk games and check out new work. He even helped introduce me to a good friend and collaborator when she moved to Atlanta.

If you can help and give anything for his family it'd be much appreciated.

For anyone who can, a GoFundMe has been set up to help Rob's wife and their young daughter. Sending tons and tons of love and deepest condolences to Rob's family and friends.

Your (positive) teasing worked on me. I backed and am excited to run a campaign that follows a book club group that wants to look into the weird shit happening in town. But also, talk about books and how they just happen to weirdly relate to the books they are reading that week.

We are waiting on the finalized version of the newest music for Arc 10: The Mystery of the Blacksmith's Forge. As soon as we get it, we'll have the latest episode out. Sorry for the delay on it, but we wanted to make sure the full episode was released, and you'll love the new music we have for it.

Ohhh that's fun! I've for sure seen this idea done in other things too and had thought it'd be fun to play out. Haven't play this RPG yet but for sure seems in theme with this idea.

They'll be able to kill both adventurers and other monsters. Or even just not deal with monsters because they think they're just part of the dungeon as well so they don't attack them. And they get new equipment as they find higher level adventurers to kill.

The idea is they are all tired of being killed and responding by adventurers and want to try to tackle the dungeon themselves. So they take starting gear from a newbie group that they just killed. This way they can't leave the dungeon like a normal party since they are monsters.

AP Idea: Creepy Crawlers.

In the style of dungeon delving animes it follows a group of adventurers trying to progress through a dungeon that gets harder every level.

However, the PCs select from monster races. They will play as different low level creatures.

All the people I know in Atlanta that play in other APs or GM for start playing are amazing. But, they are also booked all the time because they are so good.

I need some newer people to the scene to move here so I can run all the stuff I want to and not be in scheduling hell.

I want to do so many miniseries. So many fucking ideas.

I have one for Delta Green. One for Deathmatch Island. One for Kids in Capes. And also an idea for multiple one-shot games with different GMs called "Are You Afraid of the Dice?"

But, I also need funding for cast pay at the very least.

Sometimes you make a murderous, sex and drug addicted freak of an NPC that lives inside of a horse girl. Then, 60+ episodes in, you turn that little weirdo into a huge softy.

Love this Dodo art so much from @fibbermcgee.bsky.social.

My hundredth one-page roleplaying game is HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOAT GIRL.

You are a goat girl, most beautiful and dangerous creature, and it is always your birthday.

Patrons get it a week early here: www.patreon.com/posts/138800...

GREAT NEWS. You are a GOAT GIRL and it is ALWAYS YOUR BIRTHDAY. You are having a joint birthday/war party with the other goat girls and no-one is going to stop you.

VIOLENT DELIGHTS
Goat girls cannot die, nor suffer serious harm. (It is their birthday.) Goat girls can be captured and/or confined, but this state of affairs rarely lasts for long. Any death or injury they inflict (a frequent occurrence) happens slightly off-screen, or out-of-focus in the background of a different scene.

I love it here! And there is a huge talent pool here already. It's for sure worth it if you can ever make the move. Or even just visit and come fuck around in the studio.
