I just sat down and read through @thismaybegraham.bsky.social’s UNDER THE AUTUMN STRANGELY, and, fuck, this is a cool storytelling game. And I happen to have the perfect number of players available to me... #ttrpg

I suspect this will be a key text for me in developing TTRPGs… yknow, once I find time to actually read it.

With the release of Reflections in a Dying World on Itch (and prev posting projects like The Station & fae gothic here), I've made a small tweak to my bio: 'emerging TTRPG designer', a milestone that I think I'm cautiously ready to own.

Two crowdfunded games came in by mail while I was out of town — Malaysian/Indonesian-inspired ghost tale A PERFECT WIFE and violent melodrama SWORD OPERA! Very excited to tuck into these. #ttrpg

New additions to the professional development bookshelf! Someday I will take a break devoted to reading through some of the *excellent* texts I’ve gathered, but for now, it’s just nice to have them at hand.

After many months away from the project working on others, I finally sat down and finished a diagram of the play structure for DEVIL'S HOLLOW. Every time I revisit this game, I'm reminded of how *fun* I think it can be, and get excited again to get it into shape to playtest.

My main tote this summer -- though it's mostly been used to cart my laptop & writing notebooks out to my back deck -- is this design by @egorodriguez.com. It is, perfectly, titled "Summer".

Last but not least, a @mxmorgan.com design that looks fucking sick in red and black.

Tote bags have been the main vector of my 'going out' wardrobe where my aesthetic options have been really limited, so I ordered some new ones... and man, are these *fun*.

16. KARANDUUN, a Filipino heroic fantasy ttrpg inspired by Filipino mythology about facing oppressive gods and making them bleed. It intrigues the shit out of me, and I’m looking forward to diving into it proper.
