Hey heroes!

On December 10th at the iO Theater, I am premiering a new RPG-based improv show.

I'm developing the form with the cast right now, and I know it's going to be so much fun to watch. Also, look at how incredible my cast is!

Hey, if I call a noir detective TTRPG that takes place in The Rough Part of Town and uses a deck of cards "Aces in the Hole" is that a good idea or a bad idea

Obsessed with how Jensie says "two more."

We're fixing Pacific Rim: Uprising with Lancer, with guest GM @iwriterobots.com and a soundtrack by @beholdyourfate.bsky.social!

Dick Cheney going to hell and Zohran Mamdani getting elected on the same day are a win in my book.

If you have an outlet and want to read the nice press release I wrote, you should respond here so I can send it to you
Putting out the call, a question in two parts:

- What are the podcast newsletters I should be sending press releases to?

- What are the TTRPG news outlets I should sending press releases to?

Signed, a guy with a press release he wants to send out tomorrow

Since taking over as host, I IMMEDIATELY started mythologizing the One Shot Studio

Each recording, during intros, guests riff with me about what the studio is like. EVERYTHING becomes canon.

As we upload episodes to YouTube, @cowboypunkcolt.bsky.social has brought TONS of these anomalies to life

"The time for a softer, gentler Apocalypse World was gone."

Apocalypse World: Burned Over represents the complicated ways that both the Bakers and reality have changed since the original RPG's release.
Apocalypse World: Burned Over is kinder and much angrier
The end of the world isn’t what it used to be. It might be better.

Hope that works out. I've heard that there's really only one "ring" in the market and the bubble's about to burst
I just got funding from Valar Ventures for my new startup Ash Nazg Burbatulûk.

Our business model is simple. At night we break into people's homes and in the darkness, bind them.

Look, I'll never understand why we keep giving Mel Gibson and Jared Leto work, but can we at least put them in a movie with Armie Hammer so he eats them?
