I got offered a LOT of money to host an official HP podcast and turned it down immediately. I’m assuming since I am not a podcaster that they have an extremely long list of people who have also said no to this. Dunno what‘s going on with the actors but the comics are holding the line lol
Once again thinking about every actor trying to justify taking the money for the new HP series.

Wanted to run away and live in the woods less than half the time! That's good, actually! Really, it's like 2/5ths of the time even. It's almost less than a third of the time. That's good. That's really good. Really.
If we did wrap up stats for artists, it'd be like
✏️ You drew on the wrong layer 325 times
✏️ Agonising over a rogue pixel that no one else will notice or care about went up by 1%
✏️ Ratio of new wips added to old ones finished - 25:1
✏️Times you wanted to run away and live in the woods - 146

The finale of this series is some of the best collective storytelling I've ever been part of 🥹

Performing alongside powerhouses like @michellicopter.bsky.social, @watermosaic.bsky.social and @maijaihibberd.bsky.social really made me up my game, and @samsighs.bsky.social wove a killer backdrop 🥰

My home game - we were down 2 players at a crucial plot moment, so we paused the main arc and I winged a oneshot flashback in a "Stories From..." style - their antagonist accountant from the main arc gets haunted by, and the party fights off, the zombie of his partner and three ghosts of himself.

For anybody who thinks being a U.S. citizen will save them, or that being white will save them, this is a blonde white woman who is a US citizen and the thugs took her too.
Anyway, for the 80 billionth time, stand up for everybody’s rights
Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars.

She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

I think if you do this as a company all your money should be taken away and given to artists, and I also think if you *sell* your company to people who turn around and do this you are also responsible and should never get to own a company again without chaperones.

Wild story, a font service was bought out by a US company and now they are absolutely dogshit and it'll particularly heavily affect JP games, especially service titles.

💝 I'm incredibly touched to be included in this list! I'm so lucky to have amazing companions at the table and behind the scenes to help make it happen.
Day 2 is @watermosaic.bsky.social

Jacob is an actor, improv performer & podcaster who constantly thinks about how his characters interconnect with the others at the table.

He also brings a physicality to his performance that elevates entire stories.

The perfect scene partner.

Et tu, Brute?
I'm still thinking about this ending this morning.

I'm the sort of GM who loves when you send me pages of backstory.

Because then you present me with many knives, and I will use them later.
Lads, tonight I GM'd the finale of a story and did some of my favourite things I've ever done in a game.

I really am good at this stuff.

As dramatic as this will sound (for which I apologise), this is as big an alarm bell as I have heard in years - they have been here over a decade, settled with kids, socially-engaged, German-speaking. The very immigrant this country - this continent? - claims to want.
Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

Day 1 is @michellicopter.bsky.social a performer who brings authentic, considered characterisation to everything she does. Michelle considers theme, connections with other characters and the "why" of a story in a way that is a delight to GM for.

Simply put, she is one of the best out there.

Actual Play Performer Advent Calendar! 🎄

From now until the 24th, we're gonna highlight some of the best AP performers who you should bring to your tables (and pay them if you can!)

Follow along with this thread each day to meet them all, and cast them in 2026!

This is one of the most interesting games I've ever played. It was so close to real-world experiences. We carefully told a deep story with challenges that mirror many people's life, and it deserves to be heard. I'm in awe of my fellow players and grateful to the show producer and the game designer!
Hey, pssst, want a sneak peak of the final AP of 2025 from us?

Mum Chums, a slice of life RPG about the people who care for kids is coming on 10th and 17th December.

With a cast of real life parents, this one is so ridiculously good folks and went places I never could gave foreseen.

What, in your opinion, is the actual end goal or "purpose" of playing a TTRPG?

This is for an in-progress writing project and would really love input (via replies, quotes, and/or shares).
