Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Just fired up a new Roll20 table for a new campaign. Based on the auto generated title I feel like it's going to be a good one 😁 000
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 20/06/2026Feel like this can be said about all forms of creativity, and it should be said again and again so more creative don't go out in flames. 020
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 10/06/2026What hurts so much is it feels too stupid to be anything other then genuine. I don't know if I hate this or comprehensive believable rage bait posts by bots more. 110

Here are five ways to deal with that problem, particularly for random encounter tables. 86920
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Silly me, here I thought I'd stop finding new table types after the discovery of hex flower tables. Well accordian tables are now going to be my latest toy 😅. 020

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 26/05/2026#DnD & #TTRPG GMs, I'm curious what you find most useful when running a settlement/small region (valley/lake/landmark etc). Like having a random enouters table or a list of prominent locales. I'm working on a project and it'd be helpful to hear. 000
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 26/05/2026I never thought of this before but I wonder how many small fish swim into an octopuses' ear hole gill things thinking it's a little cave to hide in. Like it's had to of happened in the heat of a chase at some point right? 010
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 26/05/2026Okay so I'm NOT crazy. Its crazy to me that is such an afterthought. Like maybe other devs keep it in mind but barely anyone talks about it publicly. I'm thankful I learned early in my GMing that subsystems are only fun if they are fun to use. Helped me a lot with my games today. 120
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 24/05/2026Having some friends come over today. I've made a few fun brain ticklers to throw in our new Pick a Topic jar. Wonder how it will go 😂 010
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 23/05/2026I'm trying to adopt a healthier social media balance. In that effort I've been closing out of the infinite scrollers (TikTok, Insta, YouTube Shorts) the moment I get fed something that I do not enjoy or is an ad. So far I'd say it's working quite well 😁 000

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 19/05/2026It's annoying how much just starting gets it going. Yeah I know that's how it works but it's so hard 😭 Hope the ick stays shaken for a while. 110

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 19/05/2026Map Map is a fantastic game and scratching the mapmaking/orienteering Miasmata originally ignited in me. I'm so happy more games in this weird niche genre are being funded 🥳 000

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Why is staging consistently productive so hard? Like I'm not even talking about highly or very productive. Just a steady "chipping away at it" is a challenge sometimes. 000

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 13/04/2026If you think about it it's actually quite remarkable how you can effortlessly transition from walking forwards to walking backwards and then back again. Like that is surprisingly complicated coordination that we just take for granted. #ShowerThoughts 000
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Dude, same. It's so annoying and whenever I try to side load RPG instead of TTRPG I get a lot of confusion. Honestly, I'd personally be fine if we just dropped one t so we can retain some differentiation. TRPG comes out so much smoother in comparison. 010
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 31/03/2026@lukehumphris.bsky.social's new #TTRPG is now live on kickstarter. It looks neat and I think I'm jumping on board.

Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 25/03/2026Did they confirm it was going to be VtM? I can't imagine what other system it could be but D20 isn't past whipping up something custom. 000
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Thankfully it doesn't look too radically different from V2 so if I need to revert to V2 I can. It also doesn't look like it is doing any data sharing to Canva's AI garbage. So I'm going to dip my toe into it so I can use the ePub support. But I'm very very VERY wary about all this... 000
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Sooooo I just discovered Affinity v3 now exists and it includes the ability to export ePub files. So why am I not happy. It's free and has Canva's stamp on it. Don't get me wrong the downloadable app seems good. Like really good. My gut is just turning thinking about when that's gonna change 100
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 13/03/2026I just read a bumper sticker that said "There is Power in the Blood of Jesus" and realized how much that sounded like some rumor you'd stumble on in a #TTRPG game. "You are not strong enough to fight the Dark Lord, but within the blood of the Jesus, you'll find the power." 020
Michael DeBondt @michaelsmindonline.bsky.social · 11/03/2026You know what one of my favorite things about #PocketQuest is? Getting a reason to scribble in my dev journal. It feels so much more fluid to brainstorm to paper rather than a screen. And I get to make nifty little doodles while I think on ideas! #WIPWednesday 020
