I attended a local video game convention this weekend and I find it amusing that the two video games I'm currently working on have their booths side by side

Also, it still feels surreal knowing other established creators talk about an adventure that my partner and I made. The first old-school style one, at that! I'm so happy we made the adventure and won the Audience Pick.

In Surabaya to attend the art exhibition, showcasing various artists from Indonesia's Ilustrasee community, including my spouse. Her art piece is a fan-made poster for Noroi: The Curse. Her favorite horror film.

Birthday presents! The Mythic Bastionland one arrived last week but my partner told me not to open it and save it for my birthday (even though I bought it myself lol). The rest is from her. I honestly didn't expect Pirate Borg! The cinephile stuff is so cute 🥺

Our Masks: A New Generation campaign was supposed to end tonight, but we had to reschedule because of a literal riot that happened in the capital. So to cheer the group, one of my players posted this amazing piece of art 😭 Every time a player does this, I can't hold back my tears. I love my players.

Our local community had a talk show/presentation last night discussing about Play to Find Out in Tabletop RPG. This is the 5th session we've had. The point is to encourage folks to try out different games and perhaps learn something from them. Because playing different Tabletop RPG can be fun! (1/3)

What do you mean I have to pay more to play as a Toreador, one of the OG Camarilla clans which happens to be my favorite? 😡

I just found out about Hypertellurians by @mottokrosh.bsky.social and the vibe, tone, and themes fit my Appendix N Jam adventure perfectly! I know what game I'm going to learn next!

Sketches for the art pieces that my partner is drawing for our Mythic Bastionland Jam entry. We're making a Knight (w/ a Seer) and a Myth. All with the same theme. Any guesses for the theme? 👀

Ran a Mythic Bastionland @bastionland.bsky.social one-shot for @zedecksiew.bsky.social, @harbowoputra.bsky.social, and friends! They managed to resolve The Spider Myth without any combat! I've run four one-shots, and this one didn't have any combat! 10 out of 10 will run again. Hopefully a campaign!

I have a blog for my Tabletop RPG musings! My first post, that needs to be split into two parts because it was too long 😂, is about my 5 Years of Tabletop RPG creation.
I wrote about how I started making #tabletoprpg stuffs, my first adventure module, and my latest #OSR module.

My partner and I have released our first old-school style #ttrpg adventure module, The Knight Errant! It's a 4-page science fantasy Mark of the Odd adventure for 3–5 players, inspired by the weird fiction authors of the early 20th century. Part of the Appendix N Jam.
