Nobody fucking @ me about how I said I was leaving Dice Exploder because I was out of things to say about rpgs and then published like three blogposts this week.

love crafting rules - "Ghost Bomb (I+): (Conspicuous, Consumable, Volatile) A capsule with a spark-craft fuse, filled with (mostly) willing ghosts. When detonated, the pressure wave released in the ghost field causes minor property damage and major damage to the spirits of those in the vicinity."

Tonight in Blades- After being at war with the Billhooks for a few sessions, they burned two of our houses down, and our Hawkers responded by constructing and then detonating a Tier V Ghost Bomb inside their headquarters, destroying 23 souls and leaving their bodies catatonic. God I love this game

I think it's fairly simple to establish some diegetic detail which justifies her knowing what people are insecure about- a magic item or social training or whatnot. That would make this a static element that exists regardless of player choice, even if the detail needs to be negotiated in the moment.

I TOLD you all you weren't ready; playing this was one of the most interesting, challenging, and genuinely funny experiences I've ever had playing tabletop. If you're up to it, Mousetrap will reward you in spades.

Working with Asa as a dev editor on this project has been an honor- Mousetrap is a really special project and he’s doing things with the form I have not seen anywhere else. Asa is pushing the boundaries of the medium, and I am so excited for everyone to read and table what we’ve been working on.

I am unbelievably lucky to have found the love of my life in my first relationship at 19, my best friend who has been at my side through our greatest adventures. I’m looking forward to many more ❤️

Have I played “Control Resonant”? Sorry…I’m too busy reading the story of a man who “Controls Rocinante”…that’s right, Miguel Cervantes’ immortal tale “Don Quixote de La Mancha”. So you enjoy your strange “Federal Bureau”…I’ll be delighting in the adventures of Sancho Panza and his “Friendly Burro”

My final moments in Last Train to Bremen this morning- Cat pulls out a wine bottle, uncorks it, pours a drink into a tin mug, swirls it around, takes a sip, stare into the eyes of the three headed Devil, wearing the face of my ex-lover Hound. My last words- “I always knew you’d be the death of me.”

[rings bell] theoryslop! theoryslop! come get yer theoryslop while it's still hot!

one page. header reads "RPG DESIGNER THEORYSLOP ALIGNMENT CHARTS & SHEET." gray text under the header reads "You have 20 points to assign to each stat array, Pendragon-style. For tri- or otherwise multi-polar arrays, express the stats as ranges, e.g. “Gamist 1–7 / Dramatist 8–9 / Simulationist 10–20.”
subheaders followed by lines for writing read: "Designer: / Project: / Link:"
subheader reads "Binary Traits," followed by a list of silly game studies paired descriptors and space to write stats: "Ludologist / Narratologist // Game-as-Activity / Game-as-Object // Proceduralist / Anti-Proceduralist // Diegetic / Endogenous // Suitsian / Non-Suitsian // Closed Lusory Goal / Open Lusory Goal // Toy-Game / Meta-Game // Character-Locked / Authorial // Problem-Solving / Story-Telling // Rulebooks / Adventures."
subheader reads "Special Twinned Binary Traits (the Bartle Zone)," followed by gray text reading "Assign 20 points to each axis, but make a single roll when testing the combined traits." following is a two-axis chart, north-south reading "Social / Non-Social" and west-east reading "Aggressive / Passive."
in the second column, a subheader reads "Multi-Polar Traits" followed by shapes with stats at their corners: triangle, "Dramatist / Gamist / Simulationist"; square, "Agon / Alea / Mimicry / Ilinx"; hexagon, "Classic / OSR / Trad / Nordic larp / Neotrad / Storygames"; square, "Gamer / Actor / Socialite / Immersive."
a subheader reads "Skills," followed by a big list of 32 skills, with space for stats next to each: Academia, Acting, Art Direction, Blog, Cartography, Copyediting, Credit Rating, Day Jon, Game Studies, Graphic Design, Illustration, Layout, Line Editing, Livestream, Marketing, Networking, Operations, Organizing, Podcast, Printing, Production, Proofreading, Shitpost, Shortform Video, Social Media, Thirst Trap, Video Essay, Web Dev, Writ. (Adventure), Writing (Lore), Writing (Rules), Other: "
gray text reads "Sam Sorensen, September 2026"

same theoryslop designer sheet as before, this time filled out in handwritten green, for me, Sam. I skew towards problem-solving, goal-driven play, as well as towards adventures, imaginary worlds, and simulationism. the notable inclusions in my skills lists are a +6 in game studies, a +4 in academic, blog, layout, line editing, and adventure-writing, and a +2 in "museum," my "other" skill

Seraphina Garcia Ramirez 🔜 PaxU @seraphina.diceexploder.com · 11/09/2026

Useful context- the professional being referred to was an ancient creature called Old Scorchbones, born from the nightmares of the last Sage. He whispered directly into your head, appearing to only move between blinks or when you weren’t looking, and talked frequently about loving the taste of fear.
