I wrote a defense for the garlic press, whose honor needs no defending. Also some thoughts on what I personally like in rpgs as I continue in this hobby. Everyone can have different fun. #ttrpg #osr

I had the good pleasure of reading proof copies of some of these adventures and they're great! Full of great ideas for mousey adventures and fantastic art and graphic design to tie them all together. So happy these are finally released! 🐭

The Fish Dice (by @dcponcho.bsky.social)!

If I can figure out a way to economically make a ton of fish dice I may try to sell a very very limited run of Chubby Bear Salmon Goggle next year at PAXU.

Meanwhile: more playtesting and probably some rules tweaks based on excellent suggestions by Amanda.
the best part was the d12 fish dice we had that his pal printed

The #paxu haul! Games from the fantastic Indie games night market, Tokyo games market, some great exhibitors (Saashi finally in the US!), and some flea market acquisitions. A successful pax!

We played a mysterious game that doesn't exist at #PAXU!

It was extremely fun! I would totally purchase it IF IT ACTUALLY EXISTED IN OUR UNIVERSE.
@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?

A friend of mine printed fish dice for my little PnP board game: Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble!

They're so good! Look at these little guys!

Halloween approaches. Do you desire space horrors? Check out Resonant, my #mothership adventure #osr
Resonant is a sci-fi horror adventure for MOTHERSHIP, inspired by The Expanse, Havana Syndrome, and industrial negligence. The crew takes a routine job from Rostrum Corp., then receives conflicting distress signals during planetfall.

Welcome to bluesky. I don't post very much (which makes me a great follow, imo) but when I do it's usually about TTRPGs, game design, mead making, and maybe some data analysis stuff on occasion.

Here are pictures of my extremely doofus tuxedo cat Darien, and my extremely normal tabby cat Desdemona.

For a window into my disastrous time management skills, I had intended to release this for *last year's* #FatBearWeek but didn't get it done in time. So I figured I'd just wait until the next one.

Then a year later I nearly missed it again...
Just in time for the tail end of #FatBearWeek I am pleased to announce CHUBBY BEAR SALMON GOBBLE: a push your luck #boardgame about preparing for hibernation.

The PDF is free here, you'll just need a load of dice: awkwardturtle.itch.io/chubby-bear-...
