I like indie TTRPGs. I work on computer stuff.
Maybe some philosophy, empiricism, history, cocktails, or linguistics as a treat.

New #TTRPG from @ickbat.bsky.social arrived while I was out for the holidays. Now it is a late Christmas present. I'm excited to dig in.

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it!
That’s just me though.

Yes! Play this game. Had a great session with @mint-rabbit.bsky.social this morning. Or if your group isn't up for it catch me at the GenCon Games on Demand events and I'll run it for you.
It's been a hot minute since I've boosted my own game, so here it is: Protect the Child is a Forged-in-the-Dark #ttrpg about monster babysitters, currently in play-testing.

Seven years ago I went through the core books of 156 RPGs I own from the 70s through that year that all used character stats and made a word cloud of their commonality.
