About me:
I make adventures and other supplements in the roughly NSR side of OSR; I also play a lot of "story games" (recently: BitD, Wanderhome) and a variety of types of solo games. A lot of what I've been writing lately has been for Cairn or for a non-specific OSR-type system.

I made a list of all the blog posts and other permanent-ish artifacts I could find for #over/under
It's largely for my benefit (hence the "to read" section at the bottom) but other people might find it useful too

"Players reported dreaming about Over/Under, losing sleep, even forgetting to eat."

Thirty Days of Bleed
Within a high-pressure, nonstop roleplaying game, denizens of Over/Under found it difficult to extricate their character’s emotions from their own.

This has been one of the best little oracle table books for my games. You get little tables for generating villages and towns, what kind of regional dishes they make, NPC personalities, etc.
When you're GMing and need a sudden detail or factoid it's a great tool to help save on creative fatigue.

i also finally got around to assembling all my #OVER/UNDER possessions into a small Melody McGinn-themed loot table, in case your Prospero's Dream players ever need to steal a bunch of my stuff :D

Oh I am making a video game adaptation of my OSR walking simulator (putting some JavaScript on a web page) but it is going very slowly
Currently you can walk in a straight line. Eventually you will be able to make choices but apparently that is a lot more complicated

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.

Lol I just realized I literally wrote an OSR walking simulator and it's the most popular thing I've made
As an addenda:
I have been told that NSR is a thing that exists, and that an NSR is when an OSR is a "Story Game" and or has pronouns in it. A "story game" is like what if a TTRPG was a Walking Simulator. At the risk of expressing an opnion that will get me killed: I think walking simulators rock.

does anyone know, if I add past blog posts to my RSS feed, will they show up as new in RSS readers? I want to backfill my RSS feed but not like spam everyone who follows me

What I've learned from this is:
- I should probably link to other blogs more (I do actually have a page that is most of the blogs I follow but it's not on RSS)
- Maybe I shouldn't trim my RSS feed?

Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready
Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map
What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

I've also been running a mini cataphracts tutorial for like 10 people, or rather setting one up, constrained to 2 weeks, and I am already a bit worried about having horribly messed that up, so glad I didn't jump right into a full sized cataphracts game

I've been trying to sell games to people since 2017. By far the hardest part is getting distributors to get back in touch with you. I opened an FLGS partially because of my experiences getting ghosted. If you've written a game and want help getting it out HMU. I respond to emails!

I also wrote up the entire Ominous Plant storyline

in case I have given the impression I am good at politically oriented wargames
in a recently completed game of Cataphracts based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I played a second son of the emperor plotting to usurp my older half-brother
