There are days when all the demos run smoothly. Then there are days when the wineglasses refuse to shatter, the LRC circuits give only anomalous readings, and the marbles flop off the loop-the-loop. #IgorsLife

If you see young people, creatively, desperately finding ways to make their own third spade, maybe you keep an eye on it to make sure they are okay, maybe you don’t tear the branches down and yell “the kids stick fort is Right Here and they are talking about things that matter to them!!!”

I’m running the Unseelie Saga as it was meant to be, with personal storylines galore and many intriguing NPCs. Last night’s kick-off: a party at the Court of the Midnight Thorn.

Days ago, I noticed two pinpricks on my wrist; mosquito bites or thorns, I thought. Their appearance grew progressively worse until now they look slightly concerning. I would like to state now and for the record that running a superhero campaign is no reason to be bitten by a radioactive spider!

I just got the first spot art roughs from our artist for our game, “Upcycle”. Tears of laughter are literally standing in my eyes as I type. I could not be happier with this art (you’ll just have to wait). #Upcycle #GameDesign

Me: You are basing this Cypher superhero campaign entirely around the maps from “Stealing Stories for the Devil”, aren’t you? Also me: No. Why would you say that? HEY, BRING BACK THAT BOX! #GMing #campaigns #CypherSystem

I had a great time running two Cypher 2.0 games at CypherCon, and I can't wait for Monday, when our new "Claim the Skies" campaign kicks off, Cypher 2.0 style. ;) Character Builder, prepare to meet my players!

What do I love most about game conventions? The indie games that come out of them! In Michael DeAnda's micro-RPG, "Eurydice?", you take Orpheus' role as he struggles to guide Eurydice out of the Underworld...without looking back: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ali... #IndieRPG #Kickstarter #microRPG

Our Magnus Archives campaign concluded with a ritual to match the real-world eclipse. Clever work by determined PCs ensured Earth was condemned to only six months of darkness and despair. Quote of the night, “Combat skills? What combat skills? I have a handgun and a dream!” #IndieRPG #MagnusArchives

Good day, friends! I hope to commission some spot art soon and want to update my budget estimates (2 yrs old) before sending out an artist call. Input welcome from artists who have sold spot art for TTRPG/journaling games in the last couple of years. #IndieRPG #ArtCommissions #IndieDev

Coming soon to a playtest near you: Noir, a GM-less, paper-less RPG. #IndieRPG #WIPWednesday #WorkInProgress #TTRPG #playtest Lamp post CC-BY 3.0 by Delapouite, edited by yours truly

On a black background, the word “Noir” appears in art deco inspired lettering. A very simple lamppost sheds a pale ray of light over the letter N.

@unformedworlds.bsky.social Looks like I'm finally going to get to play Hell’s Heist! I found 4 other GM/players for it. 😂 In celebration, I've made a v1 of a character keeper for the game: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

There are games you never imagined. Then there are games that you struggled to write, and when you see that someone beat you to it, all you can say is… “Finally! Now I can stop struggling and play the game! Thank you!!” To find 2 such games at once is magic. Zepher & Maskwitches, take a look.

As a creative, if you find the flow, don’t stop. The flow is precious. As a creative and supporter of creatives, thank you to everyone who supports creatives when we are designing in the flow, forgetful of family, chores, the dinner getting cold in front of our noses…. Thank you. #creatives

Play, Make, Learn was amazing. I met wonderful librarians and teachers and designers who care so much about education, and have such insight into games and the roles of playfulness in learning. My one regret is that I could only be in one place at one time!

The playful demo for “Upcycle” went well, with more than the maximum anticipated bold upcyclers designing worlds and avatars and turning totes into t-shirts. I’m so pleased, too, at the amount of casual conversation that went on.

I’m meeting so many amazing people at Play, Make, Learn! When I have a chance to breathe and sort, I will try to write some vignettes. Regardless, if you have any interest in educational games, take a look at the amazing Gee award finalists and winners — you won’t be disappointed!

I am loving this colorway. The recycled sari silk makes spinning this roving a bit of a negotiation, which is great for mindfulness. A mix of blue-faced Leicester, mulberry silk, and recycled sari silk by Keirawxyz.

Freshly spun yarn on a spinning wheel bobbin. The base color is midnight blue, with gorgeous pops of purple and livened by tiny flecks of red, green, and yellow.

Taking a vacation day today, we found a new local trail that starts with a sign, “Suspension bridge”. “Who-hoo!” said my partner, zipping off with our pup. I kept reading. “Built entirely by 53 volunteers!” I called over the clank-sway, clank-sway as I rounded the bend.

Free RPG day was outstanding. I had the pleasure of playing a Katari Ranger in Daggerheart with three great players and a GM who managed everything we imagined with aplomb. I ran three short games from the 9th Level Games Level 1 Anthology with four amazing players. Good games, great community.

Fantastic Magnus Archives session last Monday. While the rest of the group battled aquatic Lightless Beasts in Loch Ness, a doomed PC found himself confronted with a soul-searing choice: become a disciple of the Dark, or die.

Sometimes, player choices mean that a battle of five armies makes its way into your vampire campaign. It was a fantastic night with amazing story beats: surprise attacks, cameo appearances, death of the innocent, intense emotional exchanges, locked-off comedy frames

A top-down view of a large game table covered in miniatures and terrain. A large building representing a winery surrounded by outbuildings stands on one side. Vegetable gardens, fields, haystacks, trees, and hills extend across the table. Minis, index cards, and dice representing military units engage in small battles across the table. Silver tokens and pennies mark pit traps and explosive charges. Orange and black fluff on the main building’s roof represents the blazing fire raging in the winery itself. Near the winery, the black caped figure of the traitorous PC vampire general exalts in destruction.

Great moment from last night’s game Two PCs fight horrors in a graveyard. A falls unconscious. B struggles to save A. B: Okay, running while dragging them is a no-go, no allies in sight, gravestones aren’t big enough to hide them…wait. *turns to A’s Player* How do you feel about sarcophagi? #RPG
