Can't believe I've only just found out about @bananachangames.bsky.social's The Darkness at the Brink of Ohio...a solo RPG involving radio stations? That shit is absolutely my jam!

If you haven't submitted to @goldencobra.bsky.social , I really encourage you to use it as a creative prompt and just do it. Don't think about winning, don't try to do something "good'. Just write a LARP you'd want to play. www.goldencobra.org

Once again, I have had the pleasure of riding along with this whole trilogy, and I cannot wait to assign it to my students. The innovation in the whole trilogy and the way it deals with ethnicity, power, and how far people go to attain basic creative freedom is a powerful set. A24 better lock in.

My next horror solo game, Sample, will be one of the last TTRPGs I work on for at least a couple of years as I pivot creatively. It launches in 2 weeks and it’s set during Y2K, following a one hit wonder who creates a demonic song to become something monstrous www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

In the last 2 months between traveling to LA and NYC, I coincidentally stumbled into several Robert Longo drawings from Men In Cities, which happens to be my favorite art series. I think it’s a sign.

Men in Cities by Robert Longo is my favorite series of art. I randomly walked by this building in LA and spotted his Final Life II in the lobby and I think it’s a sign

I made a trilogy of horror solo journaling games. The final game is Sample. It’s about a DJ who meets a tragic end and it’s set during Y2K right before the ball drops. Players create their own music and choose melodies to determine the outcome. Follow here before we launch: tinyurl.com/2af9nnte
