The tabletop police are coming for me! I shared GM secrets with my players! If I don't reply it's because I'm on the lamb! Yes, the wooly kind. His mum was my ride or die battle-ewe and I'm all he has now she's gone.

Who else in #ttrpg has unusual opinions on when to start initiative? I will delay as long as possible until someone actually takes a shot at someone else. In my last session, the players were dragging out the parley and I kept saying to myself "now? should I do it now? Anyone else would!"

The Artemis Club PBS Passport has opened up a world of old and new favorites. And one very compelling idea that has taken me back to my love of the Victorian Era. #ttrpg #victorian #occult theotherside.timsbrannan.com/2026/09/the-...

I'm about to hang coloured net curtains. It feels... wrong somehow. Tacky even. Which is kind of why I want to do it, also they were cheap and we haven't settled on window dressings yet.

The difference between skill and a dice roll is chance. To what do you attribute that chance? Could it be an actual and singular *something*? #ttrpg

@dubhda.bsky.social once asked me to assemble a queer, Dolly Parton themed playlist and it's haunted me for years. I was aiming at something proudly queer and full of mid-to-late 20th century country rock sounds. It was so hard I stopped well before it was done. open.spotify.com/playlist/10x...

Chris Addison has a wonderful riff about art. You can enter an opera house from two doors. The foyer leads you through gilt and red velvet to an opulent space to see magic. The stage door reveals nails and ropes and gaffer tape and greasepaint and mess. >>

Recently I've taken part in a bunch of discord live text games and each has reminded me in in some way of my larp experiences. This blog post is an attempt to explore those similarities, and see what lessons the LTRP scene can learn from its in person cousins. thegardenbelow.blot.im/setting/expe...

Solid advice. In fact, I'll take this one step further. Let's all sit down at the same time somewhere people can see us. Like a sit in, but for visibility.

Looking again to expand my AP performer knowledge... Who's your favourite older femme performers, like 50y/o+ folk? It feels like an indictment to age and gender diversity that I can't be sure I actually know of any!

I've been thinking a lot about experiencing joy and how it's largely a choice. Was having a conversation last night with another American British person about how some people actively choose fewer, smaller moments of joy, sometimes even taking pride in it.

Not to be the THAT guy, but the way D&D tends to tie people down to a false sense of reality is one of my biggest bugbears with the game. It always seemed to appeal most to people who need to be led to water.

Just got my author copies of the new FIFTH SEASON RPG book from Green Ronin! This is the special edition, and it's gorgeous. Ozzy agrees. Official release is on June 20, available in most game and book stores. You can still preorder here: greenroninstore.com/products/fif...

A ginger cat sits beside a large hardcover book. The title reads FIFTH SEASON: ROLEPLAYING IN THE STILLNESS. Cover is gray and marbled like stone, with a black streak down the middle. In the black streak is a stylized rendering of a large double-pointed crystal.

Okay okay, I can see how you might be confused, but no puppies should be harmed in a game of Punch Puppy. It's like Punch Buggy, it's about puppy identification. I think.
