He/Him
I have decided that my Arch-Nemesis is named Otto Korekt. He is a former spy from the GDR. He hacks into everything I write and changes things. He does this to cloud my work and annoy me.

I will persever.

Metatopia 2025 is now in the books. I’m back at work and holding on to an amazing weekend with wonderful people! it was great to talk to everyone, even if it was only for a minute!

So many games! So many cool ideas!

When you play a lot of @deltagreen.bsky.social, you see the world a little differently.

The agents had trouble contacting their handler because…

I had to get a new copy of DREAD by @epidiah.bsky.social

My old copy just gave up and… well, anyway, it’s gone.

500 good words on a project and clean laundry.

Lately, thats a hell of a victory!

Back in the '80s I had a group of D&D players who were totally into empowerment fantasy. They showed up with mostly barbarians with a “17” dump stat. Yes, everything else was an “18." I figured "what the hell, roll with it!"
I told them to roll a d6 and add those points to their stats however…

So there I was brooding over something, with roadrunner quietly running in the background. (Try it! It works!) When @lumpley.bsky.social drops a super post on that sinking feeling that "you aren’t going to succeed" in a game, and how much he loves it. "BONG!" I realized that Chuck Jones' wrote…

Under hollow hills hits a sweet spot for me personally. Talking with @megueyb.bsky.social about it was like a walk in the Fae realms. If you ever worked, or just loved, live performance this game will take you places. Old friends you just met, or astounding new sights you’ve seen a thousand times.

If you run @deltagreen.bsky.social's Impossible landscapes, you will begin in Washington Sq. Park on Aug 10, 1995. For maximum realism make a loop where someone comes up and says "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke" quietly, every 45 seconds. Play this the entire time the agents are within the park.

I’m not a great writer, but I keep trying! I was recently asked about the best trick/hack/app I’ve found. After thinking awhile, I said "a cheap notebook and a cheap mechanical pencil."
Catch thoughts as you have them. No batteries, architecture to manage, or updates required! Just write!

1. First RPG? - AD&D 1E
2. First you ever ran? - AD&D 1E
3. Played the most? - AD&D 1E>2E
4. Run the most? - AD&D 2E probably.
5. Favorite? - Delta Green
6. Most recently played? Delta Green
7. Most recently run? Delta Green

It will take time to beat AD&D, played A LOT as a kid.

My sweet spot in Delta Green is highly a competent character who is completely out of their depth and gloriously struggle to figure out how to apply their skills to *THIS* situation.

…or a rando who understands they have NO skills that are relevant, but recognize "this is fucked up!"

Sustaining.

Doing what I can.
Writing when I can.

I’m still here.

Is it a game?

Is it a setting?

Is it a scenario?

I may have found Schrödinger's design envelope.

I love that game designers across at least six time zones are virtually pawing through @megueyb.bsky.social's button box, oohing and ahhing, and guessing at the provenance of each one.
Just made my night.

This advice is important now, and will be even more important in two weeks, when the next administration is going to flood the zone with horribleness, with the intent of overwhelming everyone into compliance. Pick your battles and keep your focus. Trust others are doing the same elsewhere.

I had a conversation the other day that I can’t stop thinking about. The crux line aimed at me was: "You artists just make shit up! We hate you for it. It isn't right!”

I walked away at that point. It’s a real world BLOCK.

For anyone running Delta Green, don’t forget the COVERUP!

It can be the most mind numbing, horrific and humanity challenging part of any plot line. If you are hand waving it you are leaving the best part out.

Thinking about, and sending energy, to all the Happy Jacks Crew, the Boggards +, Rennfairies, and other LA denizens who are dealing with the apocalypse. 🔥🔥🔥

PERSEVERE!

Over at @morrus.bsky.social's site, @planesailinggames.com wonderful game The Long Road Home is in the latest print news! This is one of my favorite games.

Note to self: Must finish 1E before adding more to the 2E folder, or starting 3E.

I mean it, me.

Knock it off!
