I can't state how rad it is that I've now had the opportunity to create videos for some of the coolest TTRPGs!

Literally a dream come true.

A big thanks to so many wonderful people!

And a special thanks to @andrewbeauman.com and @infinite-citadel.com for giving me my first chance!

Ok, friends of Zine Month and folks who enjoy TTRPGs, let's talk about Blightfall by @matthewayers.bsky.social ! I'm so excited about this acid punk, tragicomic, apocalyptic TTRPG and you should be too, so here's a thread about why! (1/10)

If the Black Tower Hack sound interesting to you, you'll probably also like Blightfall. Dark stories of sacrifice and body horror? Yes please!
Putting up a new link to my Zinetopia project, Blightfall, a dark fantasy TTRPG that combines collaborative worldbuilding with tragic stories of doomed heroes. Now I can showcase the incredible cover by Sarah Mason! tinyurl.com/blightfalltt...

Abolish ICE at the minimum.

If you are feeling helpless, I can only offer advice that has helped me. Find a way to support your local community.

Food banks and other local charities still need volunteers especially during these winter months.

Community is and will always be important.

I have donated an amount equivalent to the revenue I have received from Chain×Link to the Minnesota Immigrant Rapid Response Fund.

This growing cruelty must be stopped.

Just felt nostalgic for AIM Away Messages.

The type of longing Shakespeare wrote about.

I've had an early read of this game and it's honestly brilliant. I can't wait to run it and play it. Sign up to support their campaign!

I had the privilege to create this trailer for Blightfall. An awesome #ttrpg about mutated villagers trading their humanity for the power to defend their home.

It launches in 11 days, so go give it a follow!

Just recorded my first Wait, Roll That Again of the year!

This is my game design commentary/documentary podcast that I'm soft-rebooting to focus on other people's TTRPGs!

Honor your agreements—pay your freelancers. If you’re in a tight spot financially, or other parties cause money problems so that you’re suddenly low on funds, that’s unfortunately completely irrelevant. The freelancers don’t need to care about that. Pay them.

My new favorite game is trying to explain to my partner, who has zero interest in TTRPGs, what the online TTRPG space is currently having a heated discussion about.

Because I work from home, it's fulfilling my needs of work place gossip.

Acronyms are a mistake.

"I got into the OSE SRD after the 3E OGL debacle. What are the main differences with HP? Is AC descending or ascending?"

They have played us for absolute fools.

Local board game/ttrpg shop that also sells homemade soups.

Call it "Soups & Ladders".

It took me way too long in life to realize that Potato & Leak is a top tier soup!

Especially if you bake some fresh bread to go with it!
