Indie #TTRPG designer. #ActuallyAutistic. Scooter apologist. Steamer of hams and punks alike. Leftist
I wish Baltimore’s indie tabletop design scene was more organized. I love what Designed in the DMV is doing, but I think it’s impractical to trek out to Laurel to talk shop.

They’ve been swinging for the center the past few elections and it’s failed miserably.

Most of my games cost less than $10. I’m even thinking of making some games free with monetized supplements.
TTRPGs are expensive. D&D is especially expensive.

I think it's why TTRPGs have never truly gained mass appeal and remain niche. I think it's why the faces of the hobby are often white, middle class and above. Same goes for the people making games.

It's the biggest barrier to entry in this hobby.

the past year or two have been a really stark illustration of "the people who oppose progress when the stakes seem relatively low are also completely useless in a life-or-death struggle against total fascist collapse"

I’ve made $600 bootstrapping my TTRPG business. Total. That’s not enough to cover a month’s worth of expenses. What gets left out of these narratives is that they had pre-existing capital and help.
Babes. I mean this with the utmost kindness and respect, but funding your own projects or monetizing your social following or „just go indie“ is really, REALLY hard. I have a partner that’s employed and we have no dependents and no dept, and I still can’t make it lol

These cases are the 0.0000001%
Kim, if tobert foxxington built undertale on his own in a cave with a box of scraps (gamemaker), you too can still work in games. If you really want it, you gotta pursue it, ya gotta believe!

This is the ultimate fate of retail.
Walmart is testing new “dark stores” that look like traditional retail stores but are used for online orders only and aren’t open to the public
Walmart testing ‘dark stores’ closed to the public
Walmart is attempting to compete with fast delivery from online shops like Amazon.

Thinking of taking on some freelance #ttrpg writing gigs.

I think the reason autistic unemployment has never been addressed is that doing so forces NTs to admit to themselves that they got to their position bc someone liked them. That their skills didn’t matter as much as they think they did.

DNC: We’re gonna form a think tank to get back the votes…
Me: By going left toward policies like UBI, universal health care, and housing for all?
DNC:…by going right! It’ll definitely work this time!

When politicians talk about keeping the children safe from "pornography", this is what they mean
The arrest of online fanfic erotica writers (99% young women) in China is still ongoing, some are getting sentenced to 10 years in prison

I didn’t see any newer international coverage of this but I saw on Weibo today that more writers are getting sentenced right now

Chinese police target writers of gay erotica with prison terms and heavy fines
The crackdown in Anhui has triggered debates about possible abuses of power and whether the law itself is too heavy-handed.

@rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com Can you find the Punchline and put an end to this drawn-out joke? #ttrpg americanspaceprince.itch.io/punchline

Interesting how Mega Man Legends was really the first #megaman game to really deal with class. That’s probably worth a video essay there.

Is it just me or have YouTube ads gotten increasingly horny? Like, I just got ads for a game that literally calls itself “b**btastic”

@rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com I designed Punchline to look like a birthday party invitation. Normally I use B&W for cost, but this definitely requires color.

@rpdeshaies.farirpgs.com Drive in your clown car across the Smile Crater as you search for the fabled Punchline. Now's the time to be clowning around! #BreathlessJam2 Cover by @inkdken.bsky.social

I’m doing research on the peak oil movement of the mid-aughts, and one thing it’s made me think about is how our notions of societal collapse have ironically prevented us from anticipating and responding to actual decaying forces

In Punchline, a clown economy is measured by its laughingstock. #breathlessjam2

I made this for @jellyfishlines.itch.io’s manifesto jam. It’s all about building the #ttrpg infrastructure of the future.

Another #breathlessjam2 idea: RE1-style mansion scenario. That kind of Metroidvania level design with lots of backtracking.
