Bring cash!

I hear the wifi at the Excel centre is dogshit so I foresee a lot of stallholders having trouble with their card readers, and you don't want to miss out on a great game because your electronic money is temporarily indisposed!

What's the flavour of the current era of TTRPG design? Social Media Refragmentation? Is it a consolidation cycle? What are the new upcoming designers struggling with and against now?

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

VOID_SHIFT is a solo deckbuilder where you build a space repair crew to complete a job with a time limit. Games take like 20-40 minutes. The physical edition contains the deck, five dice, and instructions in the lovely package above.

There are four days until Dragonmeet and I'm getting excited, if by excited you mean "Wondering if I've forgotten anything".

I'm on booth E15, just behind Chaosium. Come and say hello. Here's an amazing map of where I am by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social.

#Dragonmeet on Saturday! I will be present at stall K28 with hard copies of Crucible, Threadcutters, and most other things I make.

Challenge: Go through every post and either identify a game that already does that or make one yourself.
I actually am at PAXU and I went to all the secret cool girl events and the secret dance party you saw a pic of and I'm posting vaguely about what sounds like a trans girl room party that I won't confirm also I got to play Brace Hufferia's new experimental erotic cassette mixing ttrpg aha it's chill

I'm terrible at getting jobs so I just sort of bounce around doing whatever I can get.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

I am choosing this one post to advertise this thread because it's the one that had me nodding along most vigorously, but you should read the whole thing.
But to get there, we not only have to get past the dogwhistle aspect of "we never even touched the dice", we also have to teach ourselves to look closely at our own good feelings, to examine WHY we like them instead of just accepting "yeah, feels good, let's chase it" and even embrace discomfort.

Made a page on my website with instructions on how to disable AI features for a variety of services (mainly the ones I encounter at the moment, will append to the list as I go).

The list so far includes Github, Google Services, Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

A short thread of posts about which Pokemon most resemble the playbooks in the game I'm currently crowdfunding. I'm sticking to Gen I for now because otherwise I'd have to look through about 3000 pokes and I don't want to do that.

Only £580 left to fund this game!

I was going to do a thread on which Pokémon exemplify the various playbooks but I got stuck on the Faithful because Pokémon are beyond the light of God.
