had the absolute beeeeeest time playing Mr. Boggs the grouchy sentient-raincloud-manifesting accountant with a secret briefcase in @frogqueengames.bsky.social's take on @jdragsky.bsky.social's YAZEBA'S BED AND BREAKFAST just now.

Had an ABSOLUTE BLAST running Forest of Fur by @bodieh.bsky.social this past weekend. Got to say "you perfectly massage the dog's butthole" which is a phrase I never thought I'd use as a DM (or in general).

this is so good and much more accessible than all those staircase-based rpgs.
Just published STUCK, a 2 player game of emotional intimacy with a stranger.

Sometimes it's easier to share secrets with someone you'll never see again than someone you see everyday. When your characters get stuck on an elevator, they form an intense but temporary bond.

BlueSky has some neat tools.

I really like this one - it labels your pronouns at the post level, so it saves folks having to click through to people's profiles to see what pronouns they prefer.

To see/use it:

1. subscribe to: bsky.app/profile/pron...

2. Go to 'Posts' tab and 'like' your pronoun

trying to actually focus on my longer ttrpg again, but making so many micro games this month has been delightful

Being unemployed has confirmed that, unless it's something I REALLY love, I don't want a job that uses too much creative energy. I've been creating and writing so much this month and I don't want to lose that again

Catie (jokingly) asked if she brings me more joy than sleeping and I pointed out that sleep is necessary to live, so while she very much brings me joy, technically speaking sleep provides more opportunities for said joy, and she agreed that I made a good argument and that's why we're married

If you're making something and it was made by humans, consider telling people that. In our new world, help folks find games and art made by people. It can be hard to tell the differences. So just show folks your stuff is made by humans.
