As and when I use this app, it'll mostly be for indie tabletop RPG design thoughts. Mostly quiet for now though, being off social media has been good for me.

Starting tomorrow I am going to be releasing my most ambitious, longest, most earnest shitpost TTRPG yet.

Every day in December I will be sharing one prompt from the Wild Magic Advanced 2e table - which will then be available in its entirety for free download on my itchio January 1.

The study has been published in Science Advances. YES, it is PEER-REVIEWED.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have made a HUGE breakthrough towards a UNIVERSAL antiviral. By targeting sugar molecules found on the surface of many viruses that SHARE structural similarities, they identified FOUR compounds that successfully BLOCKED infections from SEVEN different viruses.

it's time for another one page rpg, I expect, so here's a game called Scheherazade. yes I know that's an intimidating combination of letters, but it's a big world out there and I am doing the best I can with an alphabet made up by ancient romans, who had a wine-based economy

The d6 and the d12 have great mouth feel

D6 is a classic, sits well between teeth and doesn't have many points, small and simple

D12 rolls really well and its facets makes it imo a much more texturally interesting "gumball" than the d20

This is incredibly funny! So thankful that the discourse has finally been settled.
I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all.

Presentation went well, time was not the issue I thought it might be, audience was lovely. Looking forward to some of them holding me accountable for actually finishing some damn games!
Been trying to put together a ~10min presentation about some of my game design projects for an event. So far the drastically cut down, kill-your-darlings edit is just over half an hour long. 🙄

Hm. It’s really strange to see boxed games having a moment and being really exciting for design space while being at a very tricky moment production-wise when we see boardgame companies struggling and shutting down.

They really designed ADHD consultation appointments to make a confirmed diagnosis feel as much as possible like a rejection, didn't they? What a miserable experience.

Anyway, I do in fact have ADHD open brackets Inattentive close brackets.
