It absolutely counts! Folks tend to think of narrative fiction first, but docufiction and journalistic short fiction are definitely valid.

#mörktober day 1. Prompt: goat. The Temple of Rotting Horns, for #mörkborg.

A great stone temple with a huge goat skull on its front.

It's Day 1 of #MÖRKTOBER with Goat! A dreadful Damascus Goat with a long and slimy tongue that worms from its bleating mouth. Always keep one eye on these scrappy beasts as their loyalties are ever fleeting, but they do manage to increase your combat value when under your charge!

Day the first of #morktober 2026, and it seems I've settled on a fungal theme very early on. Looking forward to finding out what the Branching Worm is, if the Herder is still around, and whatever else comes out from the prompts.

Monochrome square image with a black furred ghost sprouting fungal bodies. The text reads: Capra Sporelings. Even long before these black-hearted goats began consuming the fruiting bodies of the Branching Worm the herder feared them. If he still had the capacity to do so-so eaten away has his brain become-he would wish only for their slaughter.
HP5 MORALE 8 MYCELIUM HIDE -d2
RAM d4 and BITE d2 SPECIAL each group of capra sporelings have been re-molded by their fungal infection.
HOW HAVE THE GOATS BEEN RE-MOLDED

I. SHARED MIND: The goats each follow the same decision each round.

2. RUPTURING BODIES: Spores fill the air upon their death. Test TOUGHNESS or become infected.

3. FUNGAL MIMICS: Not actual capra sporelings. I HP, NO ARMOUR, but otherwise identical.

Seeing all these awesome goats is really making me regret that I can't participate in Morktober. I've tried in the past but I'm just way too busy this time of year!

MÖRKTOBER, DAY 01: GOAT. #mörkborg #mörktober #ttrpg

A distorted woodcut of a goat with one head and two bodies. The Headline reads: "What ails yon Goat?" Then a prompt to roll a d8. The copy below reads: "1. Has laid an egg. 2. Two heads. 3. One head, two bodies. 4. Impossibly large, shining horns of obsidian. 5. Ridden by an imp. 6. Psychic bleat attack. 7. Walks on two legs, musically gifted, and suspiciously well-dressed. 8. Angry and belligerent. Standard goat."

How about a short story? Full disclosure, I say this with no less than 4 incomplete short story drafts in my writing folder dating back several years, so it may not be any better.

Incredible, mindblowing game. Dread is among my top 3 influences that taught me there are really no limits in game design.

One of the games uses a deck of cards, so it would be really fun to commission some art and make some cards to include with the bundle. But it seems like a lot of work for something that started out as a joke!

I'm working on a very silly trio of trifold minigames about mimics and I don't know what to do with them! Once they're finished I'll put them on itch, but I think it would be really cool to bundle them and sell physical copies.

I'm frequently compelled, yet too self-conscious, to use Fate dice in game design. I don't think it's rational, but some part of me is just anxious about writing "use Fate dice" in a manuscript.

John McQueen-Scott ✨🧙‍♂️🤘 @rocketboot.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

That's wild! Although I guess it goes to show how impactful it has been, its fingerprints show up on media that isn't even directly inspired by it.

A funny thing that happens when listening to lots of audiobooks is you become a fan of specific audiobook narrators. I feel like we don't talk about this enough. I could listen to John Lee read the dictionary.

I think you just have to replace your natural sensors with something bult into the suits, or an item like a tricorder. I can't remember the module, maybe it was Gradient Descent, but I had a pretty intense time playing around with a motion tracker like the one in Aliens.

#factoftheDIO On September 21, 1984, Dio released "Mystery," the third single from The Last in Line. It's a fun, upbeat track, featuring one of Vivian Campbell's best guitar solos, and of course Dio's lyrics and vocals are true to form. #RonnieJamesDio #TheLastInLine youtu.be/yO6u_avs6hI?...

Reposting for the Friday crowd. A megadungeon is a series of minidungeons. This is one such minidungeon. It's a cool one, I think. Connect it to your dungeons to make them bigger. Plus, you get to see how shitty my handdrawn maps are! (How simple they need to be for your players, I mean.)

I've heard these things as well but there doesn't seem to be any source of reference available. One of the other points I've heard multiple times is that we might have to sacrifice some of Canada's sovereignty, which is kind of weird considering that was a deal breaker in trade talk with the US.
