I can't believe a) I sound relatively coherent despite the long pauses and b) the state of the Kickstarter is the same as when it was recorded over a year ago 😬 (I'm making progress, I swear!)

🎲 What happens when you strip a TTRPG down to its essentials? On Why We Roll, Wythe & Chris chat with @zacbir.bsky.social , creator of Journeyman, about game history, adapting fiction into TTRPGs, and rule-light, trust-heavy design that puts storytelling first. Full EP drops tomorrow (9/3)! 🎧

So, I’m a good chunk overweight. Not my ideal self in nearly any regard. But I got a prescription for Wegovy and it’s only $25/mo with my insurance. Guess gender affirming care is available. If you’re an old white cis-male.

Scribbled this little guy today (looks like me 20 years and 40 pounds ago), and it just makes me inexplicably happy. Mostly because my tendency is to over-render and pick at it and redo, and I’m just really enjoying not and letting it be.

Dear TTRPG pals, in case you still needed some evidence that Ben Milton / Questing Beast is a boiled potato that can get fucked, this is who he accepted as a sponsor for his Reach of the Roach God flip through. I'm sure the creators, & retailers would be just thrilled by this Sponsored Association.

More experimentation with Voronoi diagrams and Delaunay triangulation, with some Lloyd’s Relaxation algorithm thrown in for good measure.

Spent a lot of time not working on implementing my own Voronoi/Delaunay tessellation before just using a dang library. Thanks, pytess!

Hey All - I can't even begin to talk about the influence of Jennell Jaquays on RPGs from the time she started writing in the 1970s. She's in the hospital now with Guillain-Barré syndrome and needs help.
