"Save vs. nuclear time lightning" wasn't where I saw tonight's Warpland game going, but I'm definitely not mad about it. #ttrpg #indierpg #warpland
And then sometimes two weeks turns into three months before I feel well enough to peek my head out.
Herry Monster from Sesame Street as Marquis Nicolas de Condorcet
Often called the Last Witness of the Enlightenment, Herry de Caritat, the Marquis of Condorcet was a vital member of the center-right Girondins and a vocal critic of the Constitution of 1793 #muppets #penandink #art #muppetsoftherevolution #girondin
Crazy Harry from the Muppets as Mikhail Bakunin.
"Crazy" Harold Bakunin, father of Revolutionary Anarchism, fought in the streets of Prague, Bremen and Poland and was a founding member of the First International, but was expelled by Marx for his anti-authoritarianism. #muppets #penandink #art #muppetsoftherevolution #bakunin
Nice. I'm currently playing Augustus as Rome => Inca => Mexico and it's freaking great. I love how different the gameplay is from 6 while so much of the underlying logic remains the same.
Okay, so I came out from underneath one social media rock to immediately climb under another, Civ7-shaped one. Great timing, dumbass. #civ7 #newgames
The Muppet Lou Zealand as Austrian Emperor Franz-Jozef I
Emperor Ludwig-Jozef I experienced on the order of 20 seizures every day, crippling his ability to lead, relying ever more on ministers like Metternich to run his empire. #muppets #penandink #art #muppetsoftherevolution #austria
Scooter from the Muppets depicted as Louis-Antoine de St. Just.
Scooter de Saint-Just was a Jacobin Montainiard Revolutionary politico, philosopher and president of the National Assembly. Like Robespierre Saint-Just was executed by the Thermidorean Reaction, beheaded by Madame la Guillotine at age 26. #muppets #penandink #art #muppetsoftherevolution #revolution
Francisco "Gonzo" Villa ended the tyrannical Potfiriato, a victory too soon squandered. His Revolution never ended until a traitor assassin's shot him down #pendrawing #muppets #gonzo #panchovilla #muppetsoftherevolution
Sometimes, I've just gotta crawl the under a rock for two weeks.
"Private Property is Theft!" proclaimed Pierre-Joseph Proudhon in his "What Is Property?" the foundational text of anarchism. He & followers believed in ignoring the state and building their own networks and economies to replace it. I agree. #muppets #leftist #anarchism #anarchy #penandinksketch
A slice of life RPG about Moms by the writer of Lo! Thy Dread Empire? Yes, please! #ttrpg #kickstarter
That's my favorite adventure of all time. It's slated for a party of levels 2+, but you can get away with a lower level range if you cut back on some of the initial encounters (the Iron Ring on the river, stuff like that). Lead-ins from other adventures are pretty easy, too.
Beaker from the Muppets as Maxmillian Robespierre
Presenting the architect of the Great Terror and champion of capital-R Reason, Chair of the Committee of Public Safety, Meepsmillian Robespierre #muppets #penandinksketches #pendrawing #muppetsoftherevolution #robiespierrewasright
The ENNIES are revising their position on AI/LLM content and will not allow any product containing gen AI starting with the 2025/2026 cycle. This change is a direct result of people LOUDLY vocalizing that we do not want genAI in this industry!

Mail call! The Secret Tribe by KMS Games and Sweet Revenge for Perils & Princesses by @outridercreative.bsky.social ! Great games I'm excited to play! #ttrpg #indierpg #jubensha #osr #nsr
Your lovable furry old publisher and chief polemacist of L'Ami du peuple, Jean-Grover Marat warned the people of Paris of the evils of the Girondinsvand paid for it with his life. #muppets #penandinksketches #pendrawing #muppetsoftherevolution #maratwasright
Guide is my fav right now, too. It fits the collaborative way I run games.
I interview a lot of folks for my day job and I always ask what they're passionate about. There's no right/wrong answer, I just want to hear you talk about what you love.
I love that cover. I have a video somewhere of him talking me through that painting while it was a WIP. It's a really thoughtful piece in ways I didn't expect.
A glaring oversight for sure. One! One glaring oversight! Ah ha ha!
Initially the Emperor's foreign minister, Metternich would soon be running central Europe with crippling, efficient Conservative Order as one of the greatest villains in history.
Count von Count from Sesame Street as Prince Klemens von Metternich
If there's one thing you can count on in Imperial Austria, it's Prince Klemens von Metternich. #muppets #penandinksketches #pendrawing #muppetsoftherevolution #austria
I cannot recommend it more. The ultra-simple mechanics are crazy flexible.
If you haven't, you need to. The core mechanic is worth stealing and running everything in. Literally all of the campaigns I'm running right now are based on it.
One of my favorite things about WARPLAND: no matter how awful your PCs are as people, they still end up protecting knowledge, history and the written word because the powers that be are trying to destroy those things. #ttrpg #warpland
Yeah, I'd appreciate some transparency on that front. It feels like a glaring omission that serves the corporate narrative.
It's 19ยฐF outside and I'm wearing a hoodie that just came out of the dryer. #winning #winter #michiganwinter #puremichigan
BtW is amazing. Be sure to create characters together at Session Zero, it's incredibly rewarding!
