So, I took a bit of a social media hiatus, and am getting started microblogging again, over *here*, rather than *the other place*.
So, a quick introduction!
My name is Andrew Welsh, I’m an indie game designer at @loretooth.bsky.social and general fan of movies, TTRPGs, and 3D printing.

The Draw Steel Ajax Edition is far and away the coolest RPG book set I’ve got.
This is going to get displayed *prominently* on my shelves for all to see!

One of the unique personal things I’ve included in my in-development #TTRPG, #Underkeeper is an ability score directly tied to a character’s ‘temporal immanence’.
(I’m a nerd who *really* loves his time travel stories)
That portion of the game has always been a bit more scaled-down, so…

I finally received my tracking information for my Draw Steel Ajax Edition box!
It left Cook and Becker’s warehouse(?) in the Netherlands yesterday, and is currently in Belgium!
Yes, I will be updating this thread as it makes its way to me. Yes, I’m *that* excited.

Yay… it’s the 99% bad option (Netflix), instead of the 100% bad option (Paramount & Ellison).
Wish antitrust laws could be enforced, and *clear, unabashed, anti-competitive monopolies* would be broken up. Shame that doing the right thing doesn’t make the line go up.

Over the last couple of hours, I made the critical game design decisions of figuring out which emojis best represent the chapters in the #Underkeeper RPG.
I promise this is serious work.

Made some alfredo pasta for dinner tonight. I think it might be the best alfredo I’ve ever had (and I’ve had *a lot*).
Here is a link to my recipe if you want to give it a try yourself!

@houndsonggames.bsky.social Has there been any news on shipping for the physical rewards for the Relict RPG Kickstarter?
I'm just curious since I haven't heard anything on that front in a while. My address got locked for shipping back in September, and I was charged for it, but nothing's shown up.

One of the things I’ve learned/noticed from writing my own TTRPG has been how much I just kinda took things for granted in my worldbuilding.
Tieflings? Doppelgängers? Fauns? Yeah, they exist. What’s their evolutionary history? Why did *they specifically* come into the natural history of the world?

Finally got my code to work to generate the percent chances of rolling a Target Number of 6s on Xd6 rolls for a #TTRPG I'm working on!
It only took 8 spreadsheets of calculations and finding a geneticist's code for counting pattern instances within a string hidden within the Google Support Forums!

Hey, #TTRPG folks! Is there a good methodology or system for writing ancestry descriptions?
I am working on getting several of these put together, and each one just seems to drag on and take forever.
Thank you so much in advance!

Why is #Underkeeper Playtest Packet 2 taking so long? It's been over a year!
Yeah...
- the game was completely overhauled from a d20 fantasy game to a custom 2d12 system.
- the layout is getting a massive upgrade
- packet 2 is going to have a lot more material than packet 1.
Here's a small taste

We’ve got statblocks for Mordenkainen, Leomund, and two for Kas!
Now I just need to get Drawmij, the party’s ally Clerics, and VECNA pulled together!

Last night in D&D we entered my campaign’s endgame.
The players and their allies arrived outside Vecna’s tower, ready to wipe him off the face of the world.
Little do they know, he has some nasty tricks up his sleeve!

Took apart my old laptop today. The hinge broke several times over its lifespan, and ended up causing the display to break and die… it really wasn’t fixable by me then (before I got my current computer).
I’m putting it back together for better transcodes as my new media server.

Just watched the Northman tonight, second time overall.
Really cool movie, but man, the theater is/was the place to see it.
I remember seeing this movie in theaters, and it was just a whole different experience; everyone communally hanging on every worn breath and sword strike.
