Finally! Friday night was my first time GMing @blackfiskpub.bsky.social's #HeroesOfCerulea! It looks like I have a regular player group so we're going to play the campaign. SO convenient @ceruleanfive.bsky.social released new content less than a couple weeks ago! #ttrpg

Four character sheets for Heroes of Cerulea, each with paper item cards. Below them, a handful of four-sided dice and paper cut-out dungeon rooms.

Recently, we played Blood Feud at a con. We fell in love with it all over again, but figured we could make it even easier to get the game to the table. So we created a starting playset based on our session. It's out now, for free. (And the game is PWYW.) blackfiskpub.itch.io/a-web-of-amb...

Tea. Chill breeze, back deck. Poetry, Carolyn Forché. Dragonfly Motel, Blackfisk. Sketched project notes, a list of dreams. A quiet, perfect morning.

Well done @thomas-munier.bsky.social and @blackfiskpub.bsky.social - truly a lovely cover, which I could only capture in its shimmer with a short video. I can't wait to get into this!

Today TTGDA released what we believe is our most important effort so far - our Licensing Contract Rubric. This is an objective scoring metric that can be used to partially evaluate the quality of a contract. We applied it to a huge swath of the industry, and this chart shows how they scored. 🧵 🎲✂️

I got to run Heroes of Cerulea for the first time at Between 2 Cons last weekend, and it was super fun! Excellent emulation of the source material. Great job!

3. Heroes of Cerulea by @ceruleanfive.bsky.social is one of my latest acquisitions. I had the pleasure of playing it live as a promo to the kickstarter in the Victory Condition Gaming channel. It is heavily Legends of Zelda themed and is a dungeon crawl rpg that is a gigantic NES nostalgia bomb.

A gold copy of Heroes of Cerulea by Lucas Falk. The book and box give a nod to the gold Legends of Zelda NES cartridge. It features pixelated adventurers at the top above the name and credits

Tabletop games need a more nuanced understanding of play-as-labor, especially as it pertains to facilitators/GMs/etc. Doesn't mean every game needs to be GM-less, but there's a lot of assumptions foisted on facilitators and what kinds of play they're allowed to enjoy.
