Imagine looking at the media landscape—music, books, movies—and concluding that it would be better if it were all simply infinite reflections of yourself, if you never had to be exposed to another personality, another experience, another life. Just you, you, you. Sounds fucking horrifying.

Did I do something weird or did everyone else's PS5 copy of Control: Resonant also take a break halfway through the opening to finish installing?

I've been talking about play style preferences lately, but there's another aspect of table culture that I think is a key determining factor on whether a gaming table stays together. Whether you're playing Cairn, Mothership, or Vampire. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/ttrpg-table-...

I watched Ben Pope's excellent special in the bath yesterday. It's an ode to his father cleverly disguised as a confessional about his own medical circumcision. I can't log it on @letterboxd.social, regrettably, but it would've gotten: ⭐⭐⭐⭐🧡

Just posted the prototype for my next game: GGNORE, a massively single player flip and write extraction game, for my patrons here: www.patreon.com/notwriting/p...
Screenshot of the 3 pages of the game in the Affinity layout program. Most of the rules fit on a trifold borchure, with another apge for a grid map and scoring.

Just to be up front: I haven't played The Watch before. But I want to! The game that inspired it—Night Witches—is one of the best I've ever played and I really want to see how Ash took its parts and made it into a genderful space game about war. If that sounds cool to you too, consider pledging:

An old woodcut depicting the expulsion of Adam and Eve from Eden but instead it’s me as the angel, trans, throwing dice and lighting at my haters. Text around the image advertises the details of the sale, which you can see at the link in the post.

allow me to be corny but: when the world is dark and dim and dumb you are not only allowed but encouraged to Just Read A Poem Aloud, or Just Write A Poem Quietly, either or both of which are actually really good for you—and no one needs you to Know Anything about the poem, just to Read or Write one

I've been wondering about the ways we learn how to play RPGs. Many narrative-focused games feature the setting of scenes (and, thus, the cutting of them), but there aren't many that feature principles or procedures to help you actually do it. Sam gives a great primer here 👇

After playing @austinwalker.bsky.social's Realis, my suspicion that this game is the heading for a new chapter in tabletop design has turned into belief. Instead of dreaming, an alternate ruleset came to me last night. Here is the gist of it: thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page/posts/silaer...
thepsychicmaelstrom.pika.page
Silaer: a setting-agnostic, no-prep ruleset inspired by Realis - The Psychic Maelstrom
Yesterday I played Realis and I can’t wait to play it again. In the meantime, I’ve been doodling an alternate ruleset based on my experiences. One that can hopefully accomodate...

Trying my hand at making a roll-n-write game for the Marathon Game Jam. Is it still a roll-n-write if you use playing cards? Draw-n-write sounds like "chai tea" or something.

Woodcut print of The Fall of Man showing an angle casting Adam and Eve out of heaven but there is text pointing at the angel saying "Me, trans, resplendent" and text around the other two saying "My haters: cise, mortal" and there's a trans halo around my head and estrogen pills in the border and text advertising the games sale and also I'm throwing dice and lightning at my haters.
