It's #soloseptember so I really ought to remind you all of my solo game Lie To Him. A minimalist storytelling game about dishonesty and what it does to you, played with tarot and a block tower, or with the free companion mobile app michellicopter.itch.io/lie-to-him

this will sound crazy but I'm willing to super sprint and do free layout for one (1) ttrpg for the @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social . i can have it done in time for the deadline. interested? dm me. i will reject any game with AI or hateful themes, and prioritize games that are finished right now.

My hot take for today: I don't care how unaffiliated, small, or "useless" your protest action is, if you're rebellious and feeling alive I think you're doing a good job.

Yeah so, I am gearing up towards a second, longer playtest of this and I need some players. Would be great to get some CfB virgins in on the act. My first playtest was with a bunch of CfB sickos so I now I want to go the other way. Playtest is in September. DMs open, or respond here.

I'm a full-stack web whatever and working with a ttrpg author to have a web-native ruleset/core book is such an intriguing idea 👀 👀 👀 Not that I need more projects but MAN, the potential!

Header: Why choose web?
Text: I firmly believe the future of rpgs lives on the shelf and on the web. The shelf because it's tangible, tactile, and smells like adventure. The web because it's the frontier. The web provides the best of both pdfs and epub—it gives the designer unparalleled control and limitless options, and it gives readers the accessibility and quality of life features they need. Web can support tools, video, and more.

The only downside to the web is the barrier to entry (which every full-stack web whatever just rolled their eyes at), the cost of hosting, and the thing plaguing everyone on the internet—internet rot.

Cover image featuring a sepia tone color scheme, art by Jen. In the foreground on the right, is a skeleton on his knees looking at the skeleton standing in the doorway in the background (on the left) who has their hand on a door. It is unclear if they are opening or closing the door. The title font over the image reads Lie to Him. And at the bottom: a solo roleplaying game of deception by Michelle Kelly.

Your bosses will smile and nod while you say "this workflow can only be responsibly used by a professional! and you must always check the work!" and then immediately hand the reins to an intern whose "human in the loop" role is to take the fall if the error bars ever cross a legal limit.

"Its acronym, F.A.F.O., references a slang term for negative consequences." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/u...

By Shaila Dewan
Jan. 27, 2026, 6:50 p.m. ET
Nine progressive prosecutors from cities around the country are launching a coalition to assist in prosecuting federal law enforcement officers who violate state laws, one of the prosecutors, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, said on Tuesday.

The organization, which is called the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, will also include Mary Moriarty, the elected prosecutor in Minneapolis. Its acronym, F.A.F.O., references a slang term for negative consequences, and its formation was spurred by “growing concerns about warrantless entries, unlawful detentions, and coercive enforcement tactics by federal agents,” according to a news release.
