Heyo! I’m RJ, a game writer, screenwriter and burgeoning self-taught TTRPG designer who’s three years into a grand adventure at Epic Games. I’m gay as fuck, very friendly, and a barely-functioning human being with a general addiction to yearning.

You can find my TTRPG ramblings at Into the Portal.

Drafts! Huzzah! Now I can stop texting all my most feral unpostable thoughts to @mmmegan.bsky.social, and instead drop them into the Someday Oubliette

i think heated rivalry has shown everyone that our sports priorities have been off for generations. let’s abolish the superbowl and get a queer icon to do a halftime show at the nhl stanley cup game instead.

Actual Play concept: ODD BASTIONS.

Three players, who rotate as GM: one running MYTHIC BASTIONLAND, one running INTO THE ODD, one running ELECTRIC BASTIONLAND, all in different eras of the same gameworld.

what this is telling me is that florence and the machine’s next album needs a song about killing people with a hammer, let’s go
paul: what if we put our most transcendent composition of all time next to the jaunty song about killing people with a hammer, and then go into the greatest power ballad of all time after that.

ringo: and what about me octopus song

paul: yeah good idea that’s next

Make Some Noise is the only good television program, the others are merely pale pretenders

I love personal ephemera, I love genre flexibility, and I am looking for more GMless games to bring to my table. This one seems neat, and I hope they can reach their goal.

I have done something that is a bit of an experiment. I've created a new character for a run of Thousand Year Old Vampire... set in the distant past of my homebrew D&D world.
Workweek finished! I have to finish a pilot script revision over the next three days, but perhaps in between writing sessions I can crack into a solo rpg…

Genuine question from someone who doesn’t know journalism well: is there a way to decentralize these kinds of resources via a dedicated org that can provide them for freelancers? Is that something, say, a nonprofit can do?
A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.
