What video game changed your life? Ultima Online! Our entire family played for years, it gave me countless fond memories and so many stories. It showed me the magic of online worlds. Once I discovered server emulation I taught myself programming and my private server got me my first industry job!

I'll stop being coy... I had the idea to "port" bits of #FabulaUltima to #Ironsworn so I could play FU solo. So far I've got the 2 stat rolls from FU but working with Ironsworns dice resolution. I've got first versions of 5 of the core classes. Once I've got all 15 I might post a first draft...

More TTRPG nonsense... You know, this might actually work out! #FabulaUltima #Ironsworn

So what started out as a simple thought experiment earlier today has turned into a full on evening project... #TTRPG #FabulaUltima #Ironsworn

A desk showing multiple open TTRPG books. The TTRPGs are Fabula Ultima, Ironsworn, Starforged and Sundered Isles.

After using Mint for over a year now and not even booting my Windows partition once during that period, I think it's time...

Bit late to the party but seemed fun nonetheless. Just to clarify, I put Endwalker as "Best Story" but that should be taken as "the story from ARR to Endwalker" (not you Dawntrail! 😠).

Phantasy Star Universe is such an underrated game

Obviously I spent the first day with my new steam deck getting a bunch of non steam games working on it because I'm just a contrarion...

Saturday morning Chronicles of Avel! Possibly the best family focused adventure boardgame I've ever played. #boardgame #tabletop

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 12/02/2025

Got this adorable #TTRPG the other day. Non-combat with a focus on storytelling where you play as little shapeshifting animals that help enrich the lives of the folk living in a nearby Japanese village!

Been working on some new stuff for stream! Thanks to @gameboigeorge.bsky.social for the amazing model!

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 29/12/2024

Got Dungeon Legends to the table. As expected from the Avel designers this is an awesome family weight game. Amazing introduction to simple deck building and card based mechanics!

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

I really wish every game had this kind of quick set up storage as standard!

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

Rebel Studio out of the box experience is great. Both Chronicles of Avel and now Dungeon Legends have amazing thematic and fun storage.

Lots more Lego building fun for the next few days! Happy Holidays all! 💜

Riddle me this. Why does every other variety of snack have an own brand version except for Twiglets?

Finally managed to finish the super cool robot unicorn build last night! It had some interesting techniques and was really fun to do but there were certainly some aspects that made me appreciate quite how well refined genuine Lego builds are.

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

The body has these cool asymmetric details; battery/fuel cell on one side reactor on the other. Going to carry on with the build tomorrow but I'm impressed so far!

Freb @fixitfreb.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

The alien fauna combined with the small industrial touches is super cool. I feel like Lego alternatives have really come a long way recently in not just the quality of the bricks but the quality of the build design as well.

Legally distinct Lego is getting pretty awesome!

More #TTRPG goodness arrived today! Now I can finally start planning out my cyberpunk Fabula Ultima game properly!

Last scene was spicy! Managed to get a cheeky heal off with covering fire early to get our ork out of the danger zone and cleared one of the baddies facing our human runner. But our ork took a risk with clairaudience which paid off when she drew into fireball! Our runners live to see another job!

It was looking a bit rough with both baddies still standing at the end of the first round but our ork mage came in clutch after she nabbed a fireball and cleared two baddies in one go. The passive bonus we got has also helped a lot coming into the last scene but 4 baddies is pretty scary...

Managed to clear both the baddies in scene 1 without much trouble. Managed to buy a sick sniper rifle as well going into scene 2... Two red baddies doesn't bode well for the primarily black and green decks I have atm...

Four cards from the Shadowrun: Crossfire boardgame. 3 basic cards and a sweet sniper rifle that does big damage!

Shadowrun: Crossfire set up for scene 2. Player 1 is against 2 red enemies and player 2 has a single black enemy against them.

Tonight's #boardgame. Shadowrun: Crossfire. Notoriously difficult, roguelike-esque, coop deckbuilder.

Been a while since I posted anything here but work on making my VTuber toolkit open source and ported to Godot is coming on nicely! Got finger trails and OSC tracking working!

Was finally able to share this on stream last night but here is Livia's new design by the amazing squiiji.carrd.co! They did such an amazing job at making Livia her own character.

I should probably let everyone know what my current personal #GameDev project is! I'm using #Godot to make DungeonTubers; a #VTuber themed, retro-inspired dungeon crawler. There are currently over 30 VTubers on the ever growing roster and I stream dev over at twitch.tv/fixitfreb
