I've just finished playing The Jaegermeister Adventure for Traveller. Good stuff, and nothing to do with the drink - playing space bounty hunters. Good fun, 10 sessions, and my first time playing Traveller beyond a one shot.

The key reason I don't use AI in my RPG work is that I'm too vain. My writing is better than AI writing, and I have a personal "voice" and things I want to express in my own way. I also love the chance to work with artists whose work I admire (and far exceeds anything AI), which elevates everything.

I've just finished GMing a campaign of Swords of the Serpentine, set in Renaissance Venice. My own work, not the exciting forthcoming @kennethhite.bsky.social book! Good stuff - the Serpent Folk plot was defeated, and war between Venice and the Ottomans was prevented.

Thank-you!

Now my turn. You should buy it. It's good. My attempt at an OSR-adjacent RPG involving exploration and factions, focused on a multiworld Empire with an evil at its heart.

The system is based on something familar, but flavoured to suit the setting, especially when it comes to characters.

I thought I found watching or listening in on other peoples' RPG sessions dull. But overhearing @marjoryfrauts.bsky.social this evening playing a Good Society game based around Hobbits and accidentally inventing the jerk chicken patty for a tea party was very entertaining.

It's gross, full of misogyny and awful stereotypes, damaging to both women and men. I feel quite fortunate that it doesn't speak at all to what I want or need.

Okay, time for a bit of game designer swagger. I'm the 47th best designer out there, and I'm working hard at becoming the 46th best.

Am I doing it right?
Anyway, I'm the best designer. Sorry

'CEO of AI company caught having affair at Coldplay concert'.

It's kinda mad that the affair is the third most shameful thing about that sentence.

Morning check in. Yesterday funded another adventure, the Queen is Dead. Now the end is nearly nigh! Both in terms of time (only 2 1/2 days to go) and in the next stretch, a setting Snake Bite. Where the Serpent Folk strike from the shadows, to bring down humanity! #ttrpg #dnd #swordsandsorcery

Still available from @allrolledup.bsky.social if you want yours, as is the core book.
Today the two supplements for @thetweedmeister.bsky.social's Out of the Ashes arrived at my doorstep, so now I have everything Out of the Ashes on my shelves! Looking forward to running the campaign in The Book of Quests later this year. Really fond of @handiworkgames.bsky.social's cover art.
