Hey folks!
I'm Colby and last year I wrote about 150,000 words of #TTRPG
~100,000 of that was an entire solo book hitting shelves later this year!
If you're looking for a writer, whether its mechanics or story, hit me up!

In every way, the world building in the real world is so much dumber than even the most half-assed fiction

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.

The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.

Happy Black History Month.

Some #library should do an ad in the style of the Mitchell and Webb Situation farming sketch 😅

Warlock flavor text in #dnd 5E is the wildest thing and I have never met someone who played their Warlock primarily as "thirsting for knowledge"
As a CHA class I've encountered Warlocks thirsting for a lot of things but knowledge has never been one of them 😅

I love that over and over again Jazz Emu shows that he has the chops to be an amazing very normal musician, just to make it clear that his choice to be completely unhinged and surreal is absolutely intentional 😅

So I'm making the intentional choice to make my starting region for #Godfall pretty vanilla. Players will be settling into the world, their PCs and figuring out the Divinity system. I want a relatively clean sandbox for them to get started in before I unveil the real ridiculousness

Being able to schedule texts and emails goes a very long way in making me look less ridiculous at work. If you ever get a 6 AM text or email from me 100% chance it was scheduled between midnight and 4 AM 😂

"Nanny moves in with hot magic kung fu widower god and his adorable daughter and they fall in love and fight demons."

But also they go to the heavens & hell & seek the Dao & cultivate via martial arts & there are hundreds of mythological beings
Oh & all the mythologies are real around the world 😂

This book series is so funny because by today's standards it would almost be booktok fantasy romance but the fantasy elements are so unbelievably dense with Chinese mythology and religious concepts that I think it would struggle but the summary is there:

A new game of grim, viking food-metal. Take your axes to an army of screaming vegetables and monstrous sentient chickens as you try to carve out one last meal from the bleak apocalypse.

Decided that the mentor is gay and has a long distance long term thing with the Baron's scholar administrator. It has real "the lazy gym teacher and the prim librarian are dating" energy 😅

Integrating PC backstories
Really tempted to put a PC's mom in a love quadrangle between her former fiancé, the PC's dad and the wealthy ex-mercenary neighbor who was the PC's mentor and surrogate father 😅

It's wild that Cowboy Bebop: The Movie has a futuristic country-western song talking about building faster than light travel gates and space wars on Saturn's moons as casually as farming and driving trucks

I could go to bed like a normal person or I could explain how the complex dynamics between the adventurer, mage and thieves guilds allowed for the rise of a dangerous branch of the Blood Cult™ which seeks to resurrect the Blade God's divinely sanctioned former lover ⬇️

Thought of this song for the first time in ages tonight
Trigun and Cowboy Bebop are loadbearing parts of my adolescence and honestly my entire psyche
