Reposted by Lara BarbierDavid Leslie Johnson-McGoldrick @bravecarrot.bsky.social · 11/04/2026Some screenwriting advice for those who are interested: EAT YOUR DESSERT FIRST. Screenplays don’t need to be written linearly. Are you stuck, but have a scene that occurs later in the script that’s perfectly realized in your head that you can’t wait to write? Go ahead and write it now. 1/4 2293

Reposted by Lara BarbierChris Floyd @misterfoldy.bsky.social · 15/03/2026Mythmatch is really great! You'll always get me with something Greek-myth themed, but what I really like about it is that it's just so... playful? Highly interactive and rich in how it remixes the mechanics. Great art and a fun story, too! Just dang delightful. Do recommend! 186

Reposted by Lara BarbierAlbertine Watson (she/her) @littlebluerobot.bsky.social · 09/03/2026So why should you play Mythmatch? Because it has so much heart. Because some of our players enjoy the minigames so much they only do those, for dozens of hours. Because it’s so funny, and because it asks us what it means to be human, to participate in our community, to lift each other up. 181
