I wonder which hotel I should book... (I actually went for one at 240 Euros with an 8 rating, the cheaper one had people complaining about bedbugs)

Picture Monday: missing the Christmas Kraken reminds me of all the Cthulhu games I could be playing. Here's a picture of some German language supplements I shot in a game shop in Germany this November.

I wish I was there 🥲
(for context: It's a tradition at the international game meet up (cult?) The Kraken to post about your character from the sessions you played, whether TTRPG or any other game. The Winter Kraken is happening this weekend)
I was Mago, Son of Barossus, Sturmbull. Following a map into the Rubble I got attacked by a spirit, went Berserk to shake it off and slew other enemies. (RQ with @dracowie.bsky.social)

That reminds me of an episode I need to finish editing this weekend...
So this happened…

I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer!

I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing!

I watched the Barbie movie last night so Netflix now thinks I like this... 🙄

I have to grade a shitload of exams today and of course now the ideas for TTRPGs are creeping into my head.

Just got interviewed for a German podcast on people who are into TTRPGs, but it's in German 😉 Will post a link once it's out.

So after visiting Finland and getting some editing for older recordings done, I am considering tackling the #TTRPG scene in Nordic countries. Which is a challenge because there is sooo much. Any advice on where to start, particularly Sweden and Finland? (I have some leads for Norway/Denmark/Iceland)
December 1, 2025 at 11:34 AM
Picture Monday: Bad hair day! So during my trip to Finland, I also took a one day tour by ferry to Tallinn, Estonia. Very cute city. They also have a nice well stocked gaming shop named Mabrik. I couldn't really interact with the locals because they were all busy playing MtG or mini games.
December 1, 2025 at 7:26 AM
Finland is pretty awesome, also almost everyone I talk to knows what an RPG is and often has some gaming experience. And the language totally sounds like some kind of Elvish.

Some gaming vocabulary from my six year old kid:
"dice game": Ganz Schön Clever! Kids
"pig game": Pass the Pigs
"pepee": Pepee'nin Çiftliği Kutu Oyunu (a memory based board game)
"elf game": Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (browser based)
"adventure game": Amazing Stories TTRPG

Last days of a crowdfunding campaign for a gaming convention in Nigeria. I'd love this to work out to support board games and RPGs across the world! I am not connected to the organization or the funding, I am just in contact with one of the organizers and have seen interviews about the projects.

I am still editing the Brazil episode, so I honestly don't remember if this came up in the interviews - it sounds so familiar that I think it is actually in the next section I have to work on. 😀
The US wasn't the only country to pin an entire moral panic on tabletop RPGs. We spoke with players in Brazil and Spain about their own bookbound boogeymen.

Picture Monday: Was in Germany and just missed the 30th anniversary of the country's largest TTRP convention by one weekend (not that I would have had time to go there).
November 17, 2025 at 6:18 AM
I just played Amazing Tales with my kid and it got weird quickly. Also a bit squicky with all those references to needles and sharp points (kid got vaccinated last night and that bled into the game). I'd still say it's one of the best TTRPG for kids, because... (1/2)
