This is precisely why I’ve fallen in love with TTRPGS, painting miniatures, and playing wargames. Escaping the madness of the world and being able to put my phone down for hours at a time is a blessing.

I’ll be Adepticon next week. If you’ll be there, let’s play games and drink Coke Zero.

No. This is somewhere to be. This is all you have, but it's still something. Streets and sodium lights. The sky, the world. You're still alive.

Hey Brendon! I really loved the demo during Next Fest! Thanks for making something so unique and fun!

Picked up some classic Warhammer books from my LGS Beastmen 6th Ed (2003) Greenskins 7th Ed (2006) Greenskins 4th Ed (1993) It’s strange to have nostalgia for a game I wasn’t playing at the time it existed, but these old books make me yearn for a Games Workshop that largely doesn’t exist anymore.

We need more new Swamp Thing books. Ol Swampy deserves more stories.

In my lifetime? Most likely not! But, I can still use that dream to guide my choices and how I treat others. Everyone deserves better. Nobody should suffer. It’s why I don’t engage in the current “they voted for this” discourse. I don’t find joy condemning others to suffering.

I think it can be cathartic to fantasize about life after humanity. That being said, i don’t dream of a world after humanity, i dream of one without suffering. No sickness, no disease, no hunger, no war. We can do better, we just need to dream beyond the confines of the capitalist system.

Spent some late nights over the last couple weeks working on these two 8x4 tables for Warhammer and other games. I’ve never built anything before so it was a learning experience, but I had a blast and I’m super proud of how they turned out!

Rented a studio space with some friends and started a tabletop hobby club. My first time building anything and I’m making progress on two 8x4 tables for Warhammer that’ll occupy the studio so we can run games!

I read, and loved, so many comics this year. Easily more than any past year. Here’s a thread of 10 books I loved, in no particular order! 1. Hound 2. Arkham City: The Order of the World 3. Swamp Thing (New 52) 4. The Department of Truth

Yes, the cashier at Target should be able to afford rent, groceries, and bills with their paycheck alone. That’s what jobs are for.

Despite the disastrous state of our industry, and the constant stress of worrying about my employment, I don’t ever wanna do anything other than work on games. I’m so lucky that I ended up in this industry and I’ll never not be thankful for it.

Austin O’Brien - Woodmancy @eyyohbee.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Almost weekly I feel like my resume gets a little weirder because of our game. Today I added “Wicked” to the list of franchises I’ve collaborated with. I’m grateful I still get to have a little fun with great people.

It bums me out immensely that we’ve reached a point where reactionaries feel the need to constantly attack journalists in general. Even worse that industry peers would do it. :/

Good time for me to say on this app that I think sports betting apps are a plague on society and should be illegal. Profits made by exploiting people with gambling issues may as well be blood money!

Austin O’Brien - Woodmancy @eyyohbee.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

People look at me like I’m crazy when I say that sports betting apps should be illegal. They think it’s some lukewarm and unimportant take, but I’m dead serious. It ruins people’s lives and is a shining example of how capitalists prioritize profits at the expense of people’s wellbeing.

In another instance of “new RPG that I don’t have players for”, I picked up Outcast Silver Raiders yesterday! “A blood-drenched occult medieval RPG” is such a cool pitch! Excited to read it!

Been getting lots of game dev follows. Hello friends! I felt like I had such a strong network of game dev friends on twitter and having abandoned it a few months ago, that was the thing I was most sad about losing! Photo of me from a recent gig for attention. :)

Picture of me playing guitar at a show. I’m standing of front of my guitar cabinet that has a sign draped over it that states “Trans Rights Are Human Rights.”

Throughout my life, when I’m feeling wrecked, I dive into music. I only started taking guitar seriously about about 2 years ago and I’m constantly learning and growing. My brain struggles with percussive breakdowns, so I learned Toothache by Locked Shut to help!

I love TTRPGs. Attended my first Gen Con earlier this year and picked up a bunch of different books. Definitely gonna be using this winter to dive into some of these!

One of my favorite games (and my favorite studio) of all time! I have an Alan Wake tattoo and definitely need to get a Control one soon.

My first post on here and this seems appropriate. I want to work on a Remedy game. My favorite studio. My favorite universes. It’s been my dream since before I even thought working in games was a possibility.
