When your wife says she wants to play a fight tonight and your party is only a couple of victories from Level 2, you make that woman a fight.

Making Enemies is a fantastic read, check it out!

BEASTS Kickstarter. $4,943 pledged so far with 14 days to go and 169 backers

Less than $60 to our first stretch goal! If you like animorphs, or gritty Andor-type resistance stories, or animal sciences and roleplaying as different animals, or an all-druid campaign set in the modern world, or you want to say you're the one who got us to 5k, you'll love BEASTS

Oh no, I’ve reached the point when I see a pair of my glasses on the desk and try to put them on… only to realize I’m already wearing another pair.

Ad for a Call of Cthulhu actual play game today

Excited to watch some great friends put on a show at Twitch.tv/imaginifmedia here shortly! Adrian kicks butt my weekly Draw Steel game (with more style than the rest of the table combined), but can he survive @jessiye.bsky.social ‘s Chtulean nightmares?

Instant fucking karma is beautiful!

Definitely on the Baby side of cute little gerblins today (so far)

Very busy D&D battlefield

Almost a Draw Steel amount of bad guys on the board at @alphastream.bsky.social ‘s Thursday night run of The Ruins of the Moathouse here at Winter Fantasy.

ALWAYS

Coming soon: BEASTS An Animorphs-Inspired Powered by the Apocalypse TTRPG about animal-morphing teen soldiers

BEASTS is a PBTA RPG about animal-morphing teen soldiers.

Characters use their powers to turn into animals to fight off a secret Enemy that is taking over people's hearts and minds and controlling them. But who, exactly, is the enemy?

3D printed goat miniature

First game at Winter Fantasy and I got a goat miniature!

I got to play this at GameholeCon last year and it’s a ton of fun! Awesome to see James whipping up an entirely different experience from Draw Steel while using the same core engine components. Check it out!

Oh and links! Check out the game jam here: itch.io/jam/jott02-a...

Oops - the last minute is actually at 9 am tomorrow, folks. I’ll just be working on other games by then, so it’s the last minute FOR ME.

I hope I have power then.

Screeched in under the deadline with the 99th submission for @jondenor.com ‘s Jams of the Timescape vol 2 for Draw Steel. Ton of fun, great community, and god damn is fitting everything on one page still really hard. Congrats to the 98 other designers who submitted before the last minute.

Erin’s super great and WotC’s lucky to have her!

Hell yeah, they’re lucky to have you!

Yep, we realized that after watching four rolls under 10 from her new Summoner.

Ponzi scheme could collapse without new marks (ahem) investors

She was playing a summoner and had four minions in a row do the grab maneuver, getting a tier 1 each time. :(

In a game where you can’t miss, @paigeleitman.bsky.social has managed to have no effect with four attacks. Technically not missing in @hellomcdm.bsky.social ‘s Draw Steel but sure feels like it… #ttrpg

Yeah. The group I watched it with were all asking, “Who is this for?”

Clearly not us, either.

The first two episodes of Starfleet Academy are a fever dream. I don’t know what show it’s trying to be and it’s not sure either.

I don’t think I’ve hate watched something so hard before.

People often ask me how to get hired in the #ttrpg industry. Leon’s blog post does a great job of explaining what to do, and what producers like me are looking for when we hire freelancers for projects.

Gonna share this every time somebody asks the question.

The real ones know I was a poster FIRST. Keep posting kids, it might get you a career

Blow for OpenAI in Germany as court rules song lyrics used illegally A German court ruled on Tuesday that OpenAI violated copyright on nine popular songs in a lawsuit that marked another attempt to prevent the free use of artists' content online. The Munich Regional Co...

Open AI loses copyright case in Germany.

Judge Elke Schwager summarized the case saying that if you want to build something and need components, "then you purchase them and do not use the property of others."

Remember: Most of us in this field are self-employed and must rely entirely on whatever they can save or scrounge. I myself had to cash out an emergency fund due to developing multiple health issues during the pandemic, and I live in a country with universal healthcare.
