Got Calpini by @fistfulofcrits.bsky.social in the mail last week. Impeccable atmosphere and stunning art. I wanna play it using Perils & Princesses asap.

Get this game, it is incredible and will really push your creative writing. Plus it's GORGEOUS, definitely one of the best I've played this year
The Magus was featured in a popular TikTok, and people have been really supporting the game.

To celebrate this milestone, 100 community copies are now available—no need to email anymore. Get a free copy of the Magus in just a single click.

Want to make your own ROOMS and SOUP-like games? Here you go! This was developed in tandem with SOUP ROOMS and was the tool we used to make it.

Have fun!

What an incredible Dragonmeet. It's always such a joy to be among such excellent nerds!

I wasn't great at taking photos this year, but I was very pleased to run into my lovely Blades in the Dark family, @montfordtales.com, @damselsdnd.bsky.social and @tabletoptinkering.bsky.social

Good morning! It's December, which means it's time for my annual advent calendar!

The Mouth Of Winter is 25 chapters of grimdark fantasy, releasing daily through Christmas. Mercenaries break an ancient covenant. A monster wakes up. Nobody's having a good time.

All I've done today is wake up, read my latest Christian Eichorn MB module cover to cover and now I'm back in bed 💀

The best description of the Telegraph you'll read this week.
I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

I am finally back home from Dragonmeet! It was so much fun and I'm so happy I got to see so many friends (and meet new ones in person for the first time!) 🥹 Love y'all

Gull Squad is a single page tabletop game about seagulls trying to save their favorite restaurant. It uses slapstick comedy and two fun ways to fail rolls! Perfect for one-shots #TTRPG 

Find it here: https://k-ramstack.itch.io/gull-squad

It's like hitting a wall face first when I read about a game module that seems cool, only to go to the creator's page and see they used AI for the image. I get that it's a free game, blabla, but don't you realize it blends you with the slop and makes people think you also used AI for the content?

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all.

"Would you like this AI suggestion on how to make your writing more concise?"

Absolutely the fuck not. I will use the words as I want and grammar and conciseness be damned. I will wield my words like a painter slings paint - and my reader will be grateful for the opportunity to witness my wrought.
