The tolerance of her big lie is almost as remarkable as the lie itself. ow.ly/Fl7950ZRRaq 6160106
Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Getting roped back in to @rpggeek.com data entry so I can track plays of @scragend.bsky.social’s You Got Cursed! & Mountainfall solo RPGs. Both pack a lot off fun onto two sides of a page. Cursed! is a great The Ring style sendup that would also work great as a lite module for Call of / Cthulhu Dark 001
Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 19/09/2026As an occasional data contributor on RPGGeek, their Podcast listing system is *almost* there. It’s easy to tag game systems & “items” (modules, core books, etc.), people to each episode. All it takes is an RSS feed to link and episodes are auto created. Far from perfect, but a persistent start. 110

Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Oh no, it’s that awkward bit when actual *heil*-ing Antisemitism is useful but speaking out against Zionism is against the rules is laid out obviously again. 000
Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Label a coin 5/15 and play Defaults and Derivatives and literally nothing will change. You can even shout CRIT CRIT HOW DO YOU WANNA DO THIS every few rolls like the TV people do. 110
Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 15/09/2026A lot of writers fetishize the “what is an RPG?” section when they really could breeze through that with like two sentences – it’s going to be wrong so it may as well be brief – and write a better “what is ✨this✨ RPG?” 110

Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Of the deep cuts, Brave Sparrow is a favourite work of art and game. I still wear my pin and eventually found a host of sparrows - and while the feathers didn’t stick, it’s because I’m a different kind of animal. 010

Reposted by ShawnStephie @pikablu.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Again, I understand where y’all are coming from, my point is that I also get where the decision paralysis comes from and the lack of empathy for that can off putting.

Shawn @chalkbeard.bsky.social · 08/02/2026I wrote a dire Life And Death intro paragraph for #SwordsWithoutMaster but the characters decided they were inspired by a detective and a malinois dog… so we skewed into Film Noir.
