I wrote a dire Life And Death intro paragraph for #SwordsWithoutMaster but the characters decided they were inspired by a detective and a malinois dog… so we skewed into Film Noir.
So now we have an inspector-reincarnated-as-cat and dog duo to explore the world with. 🤷♂️ I’m excited!

I’d rather have an intentional 2 hours of focused play with some time before and after to chat ( “Bookend it with the bullshit” 😅) so like 3 hours total - than have people falling asleep.
Hey #ttrpgCommunity!
What's the ideal session length for you? 2 hours? 3-4 hours? Marathon 6+ hour sessions?
And does it vary based on whether you're playing in-person vs online?

But consider supporting the No ICE In Minnesota bundle instead when that collection goes live, groups there need it more than I need a coffee.

12 years after my first reading of #SwordsWithoutMaster, and 6 since I last played, I finally _ran_ it. The players rocked it and I had so much fun.
I’m even more excited for the redux now. #ttrpg #rpg
(Also props to the Open Hearth Gaming people who’ve kept the Character Keeper tradition alive!)

I… accidentally spiked an SNES controller like a sportsball out of excitement at beating like Star Fox or something. Yall need retroactive hugs. 🫂
What was your first controller breaking game experience?
Me? Mega Man 2. Wiley's castle. 10 year old me was not up to snuff. I was so angy.

“Am I language policing here? Sure, why not. I think the original sense of the word matters and is worth preserving, worth insisting upon. I think zines, as a non-luxury print media are important.”
The man that brought you “Fuck You Design” brings you a rant about fancy-ass zines.

The number of “Analyst: … … … refine AI solutions … … …” postings by ghost companies on LinkedIn that are just referral links to AI model training platforms is Too Damn Many.
Posting ghost jobs should be illegal. If companies do this to harvest consumer data or create the appearance that they are “always hiring” to appease investors, how is this just not fraud? Is there a meaningful legislative remedy for this?

ICE is what happens when little boys grow up only playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and don't balance it out with silly little games like Stardew Valley and Animal Crossing. Not a drop of whimsy to be found in these broken men.

in order to network in the ttrpg scene, you must:

- reinvent a mechanic from first principles
- make games that drive 10-30 other designers mad
