Actually having a little time over the bank holiday weekend has lead down the deeply humbling road of trying to remaster and remix the first few episodes of @thewyrdside.bsky.social and gosh, have we learned a thing or two since we put those out!

When the hyperfixation hits and you deep dive into the medieval portry of Cwmru and end up writing several poems and parts of stories in awdl for the Wyrd Side-whilst also setting an in universe rule of speeh which will be interesting to have to deal with in future seasons!

You'll have to forgive me but it drives me a little mad to see somebody talk about collaborative story-telling in creative industries I deeply care about, while loudly championing a tool that is anti-collaboration, anti-artist and anti-planet. Also your alt-text sucks shit.

If you're wondering what to write, this EXCELLENT article from Ed Newton Rex describes in-depth the issues with their proposed model. Insist that artists rights to their work should not be sidestepped for the benefit of billion dollar corporations! ed.newtonrex.com/optouts

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Free League's newest The One Ring expansion feels like it was tailor made for the campaign I am running at the moment and I couldn't be more here for it! I'm so looking forward to seeing it in action and providing even more of a chance for my players to tell amazing stories.

That moment when you see a local legend and folktale, take a deep dive into it, visit the location, and it all weaves into a character's story so perfectly.

Trying the best we can to get on with season two of the wyrd side as Alex and I are obsessed with the journey these characters are going on (read: trauma), both in this season and our plans for later ones. Roll on a fateful encounter in the woods and a character we can't wait for you to meet!

Anyone can make a great fiction podcast. All you need is a Blue Yeti, some friends who are willing to speak nonsense into the record, some free editing software, a willingness to enter into a Faustian bargain with the dark presence in the lands beyond the shadows, and the gumption to make min 6 eps.

Creating NPCs to match PCs' themes is a must for me at this point when preparing a campaign. It makes it more focused and helps underline what PCs' stories are about.

Hello! I'm Matt, he/him. I'm based in the UK and I do a few things in RPGs. This intro thread will tell you about them and me, and hopefully it'll both gain and lose me some followers. Curate your damn feed.

Lots of new faces here, time for re-introductions! We’re The Wyrd Side, a fictional podcast following two paranormal investigators as they uncover the truth lurking behind British folktales, from stories whispered around dying campfires, to the unease you feel as you cross that stone circle… (1/2)

This should be a much bigger story. This is insane. Every writer who spent months walking around in a circle with a strike sign should be outraged. Without your approval, you have been training the massive fleet of robots commissioned to assassinate you.
