Hello dreamers!
Did you know that @spiderqueenlong.bsky.social and I, of @dieselshot.bsky.social fame, have a fully playable 304-page Hard Sci-Fi Tabletop RPG set in a more hopeful future? And that you can download and play it RIGHT NOW?
It's true! <^_^> #ttrpg

I think LANCER is the only Tabletop RPG iHave ever actively dissociated while attempting to run combat during. It's happened to me trying to listen to other peoples' combat in various games during Actual Play live streams, but never as the GM at a table.

You can do anything as an indie TTRPG designer, but you can never—NEVER—let the part of you that deeply resents Wizards of the Coast die. Go anywhere, do anything, but give up on that Guiding Light in your Heart of Hearts, and it's OVER. #ttrpg

This is a cool forum and I hope to see more of the #TTRPGCommunity on there! Especially if you played Vaesen and can point to a discrete mechanic you enjoyed, we'd REALLY love to hear from you!
one hope is have for 2026 is that more folks join Paper Cult Club, an indie tabletop-focused forum i truly adore papercult.club

I have a very strange relationship with people who speculate that public figures are high during appearances because as someone who barely even drinks and Is Just Like This, many people want to believe I'm not sober because the alternative, that I'm just like this, is worse for them somehow.

Added more ways to increase your dice or gain a re-roll in Gate Unbidden. Casual reminder to my fellow Tabletop RPG designers as it's something I'm constantly re-learning: keep a changelog! SweetSoulBro showed me the wisdom of this with Ops & Tactics forever ago.

I think giving any amount of feedback to players about what they should(n't) have done is probably the little death that brings obliteration. And not in the sense of "la petite mort," like Dune and fear.

Anyone have experience with those German tabletop roleplaying games where you roll 2d6 and try to hit the middle of a range?

Hello, NetSky (is that a thing?), router question:
I have an old apple airport that took a bad fall late last year; only 2/3rds of its ethernet ports for local routing work anymore, and that's precisely one less working port than I needed. I have 850.4mbps/down, 80/up; what multi-port is good?

Gate Unbidden playtest tonight was my first set in the '70s; our Cold War era investigators ended up the session in a Drake Hotel suite overlooking Chicago and a strange ritual.

First stream of the year (collab with @ignatiavt.bsky.social on her channel) and 10 minutes beforehand I get a phone call my neighbours have a fire! So an exciting way to kick off 2026. Expect more action soon.

Speaks to a lot of my harder moments in tabletop RPG development and designing against the trends.
Every stride ive made in TTRPG creation lately has been met with a lot of "i dont want to play a board game in my ttrpg!" but what does that mean? no dice, no grid? Everyone wants depth and complexity while also being simple, with little book-keeping, cinematic, but bare bones..? makes no sense..

Well it's war now; with who and for how long is all that remains in question.
We now wake up in a world where kidnapping heads of state is considered a Saturday morning. In some senses this was always the end point of the late American Empire: undeclared wars, shady coups, and now farce-warrants.

For my #TTRPGCommunity members always asking for rvtvrn to fvrvms.
I use Discord with small groups of friends but I can't keep up with "communities" on the platform. Conversations feel ephemeral.
So I created a #TTRPG forum. It moves much more slowly. And I love that. Stop by if you want: forum.phd20.com/invites/aR8n...

Begging potential scifi film makers to make ANY budget cut other than "ooh you see the monster is INVISIBLE so they gotta fight something they can't see! wwooOoo!" but extra fucking specially if you don't have John Boyfuckingega to shore you up.

The weird insistence on an international plot with only American voices + sayings combined with the occasional Londoner for accent is so weird in nu Hitman. Like surely there are voice actors in *checks notes* Japan?

Maybe I've been watching too much Warlockracy, but I always think about how when someone calls you comrade in Russian prison and you don't fw them like that you say "I'm picking out the wall I'll shoot you against."

I think the bird site is cooked enough I may shutter my accounts there completely. Most of the replies to anti-"Grok making child porn and undressing women without consent" posts are sea lions with hundreds of likes buoying them.

The Nu Hitman 1 level on the Colorado insurgent farm reminds me of Absolution in all the wrong ways; the bad parts of that game are back and we have four fucking targets to slog through? Give me a break dawg. Momentum killer.

I think a hard truth we may need to accept in 2026 is that no children's author is beloved enough to open the door to real socio-political influence to, no matter how much money they have or how many people podcast about how their works mean everything to them. Needs to be made unthinkable.
