“With a mortar launcher.”

“With a mortar launcher.”
Just want to put it out there to @darringtonpress.bsky.social that I no longer work for Wizards of the Coast and am very much in the market to bring my tabletop creativity to new ventures.
The fact that I didn't work for WOTC before is a minor detail I'm sure we can look past.

It turns out I might have been getting my shoe size wrong by three whole sizes most of my life.

Returning home from #londonmcm #comiccon. Ridiculously exhausted, won’t be back until well after dark.
Give me two days in the rejuvenation pod then it’s back to the typewriter…

Day 2 of #londonmcm and we’re still reeling from how busy Friday was.
Head to Artist’s Alley G2 and loudly intone the passphrase
“The Pensive Man Forever Holds His Peace”
For no reason other than it would be funny.
Bonus points if I hear you at the wrong stall.

It's the final D&D session to run for the week and therefore my final battle with chronic fatigue before the weekend.

Third day in a row my pain levels have gone up, and not down like I expressly told them to.
It hurts, but worse still is how annoying distractive it is. I'm just trying to craft fantasy worlds and my spine is like "That's enough faeries and magic for you boyo!"

I dreamt I wrote a one-page #ttrpg system called 'Here and Now' where the premise is the moment the game starts, a second timeline is sprung where something interrupts the game and the would-be players have to survive whatever has transpired.
In this timeline you roleplay the other, in real time.

Finally watched the first season of 'Pantheon' and... Wow, what a rush. It ticked a lot of boxes for me.
Above all else I can't stop marvelling at how grounded it was. Believable reactions, emotions, and conundrums while still delving deep into some great sci-fi elements.
Would highly recommend.

The larger table setup in our dedicated #d&d tavern room means there's no longer anywhere we can put the Christmas tree.

People are missing the obvious. Elon Musk's main gripe is he's not allowed to play.
He's a nerd and he can't play a #ttrpg because he's the main boss of r/rpghorrorstories. A raging narcissist that can't be told "no". He's incompatible.
If he can't enjoy the game, nobody else is allowed to either.

What #videogame has the most realistic loot?
I find myself craving a game, probably survival genre in the 'real world' where loot is realistically placed and proportioned. No more finding shotguns on crocodiles, or not finding an object on a character you can clearly see has one.

I've been working on a #d&d 5e class for a little over a year, with a hope to publish next year.
It *still* doesn't have an official name.
I flit between two possibilities on an almost weekly basis, annoyingly aware that the correct option is likely a third I've yet to think of.

More TTRPGs should include a "game pitch".
Not a marketing pitch to get GMs to buy the games.
A game pitch meant for the GM to use to lure potential players.

More TTRPGs Need to Include a “Game Pitch” - Fari RPGs
Let’s face it, we (probably) all have too many TTRPGs lying around.
Buying TTRPGs, collecting them, reading them, and playing them are for many four totally different hobbies. That means...

I've been out of action for a few days, courtesy of my chronic illness.
I find it's like falling off a merry-go-round. I've picked myself up out of the dirt, checked myself over and dusted myself off, and now I'm just trying to pluck up the energy to leap back on.
Someone save a unicorn for me.

It's been great seeing fellow creators make their way over here.
As you rebuild your audience and make new connections, what lessons are you taking from that other place to do things differently here?

The Bluesky boom and the way the RPG community is expanding here have put me in a good mood, so here's a little something. I've bundled three of my best-known (and I reckon best) RPGs together, and you can snap them up for just $5 until Bluesky passes 25m users

The moon only turns because an unfathomably large dragon keeps it moving, hence some of the craters look like claw marks.
