Massive dork about cyberpunk red, resident evil, and tabletop roleplaying. Currently a student of game design at KSU.
In middle school I really wanted to be a Donnie Darko "emo kid with psychic powers that nobody understands".
Turns out I was just violently homosexual the whole time.

Barest Bones Release and Look Back
Thank you so much for the positive early reception for Barest Bones! This game was a massive labor of love, and my first real attempt to put my years (and years and years) of TTRPG homebrew writing in...

The distribution of digital, community-made tools for tabletop RPG systems is a really fascinating way to look at both a systems popularity and shortcomings/quirks.
Looking at what your player base is automating probably serves as a big hint on what part of your system people find confusing/slow.

The more I think about it, the more I realize The Twilight Zone is the most important production in the history of television. Without it, Star Trek would not exist. Television sci-fi would not exist in the form it does. Contemplative drama shows would not exist as we know them.

RPG forums are weird.
So often I read the advice of some 'veteran' gamer and wonder if they've ever actually played a RPG before or simply read a bunch of books and imagine what playing and human interaction is like. Or maybe they played a lot on the 80s, haven't since, but claim 40 years experience

Hi. I’ve been away from social spaces the past year, making games in the quiet. Some kind folks in TTRPGs suggested I might find a home here. My newest game is about an amusement park that casts longer shadows than it should… I’d love for it to reach its people. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tur...

People keep trying to defend Balatro’s legitimacy in being nominated for The Game Awards, but that misses the larger point that The Game Awards are deeply embarrassing and you don’t need to care about that.

The easy pick is Band of Blades because I'm it's number one fan. But everything else is tricky.
Girl by Moonlight, Pasion de la Pasiones, Apocalypse World, Once More Into The Void, probably. Hearts of Wulin also. Bite Marks and Last Fleet get a shout. Hmm.

Porting over all the people I follow is such a long process, but stuff like the list features rlly helps. Thx to anyone who makes lists, you are heroes and you deserve at least 3 jelly beans that are the flavor you like most (Doctor pepper for me because I'm a basic whore)
