It's 968 AC.
An artificial sun shines down upon Doskvol. Autopods cruise down rows of peaceful, prosperous houses. Beneath it all, strange actors and twisted conspiracies work their shadowy agendas.

So… I made a TTRPG, magical girl adjacent urban-fantasy about trauma, neurodivergence, and plurality.

I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!!

your attributes are "GREAT", "MIRACLE", "HAPPENED", and "THERE!", your progress clock is candles on a menorah, and these are the kind of tables i put in there.

if we do $613 in sales before Jan 1 i'll do a trifold print run!

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

They always use the exact phrase "word salad". You'd expect folks who think you're talking nonsense to display at least SOME individual variation in how they frame that criticism, but no.

My mech flirting TTRPG, Reactors & Romance, was featured in an actual play podcast Tiny Table!

If you have ever been curious about what a game of Reactors & Romance sounds like give this a listen! It's only one episode and a little over an hour long

I once downloaded a little twenty-page pamphlet game whose PDF was named "firstedition.pdf", which tells me very little about its contents, but a whole lot about its author's ambitions.

I enjoy buying indie TTRPGs and immediately renaming them because the author decided to go with "game.pdf" or "final.pdf" (or "final1.pdf", which raises questions that ought to have been answered by the word "final"), but I think my favourite turned out to be named "pdf.pdf". Like, tell me nothing.
