Would you like a sick-ass, 66-page low-level #OSE adventure (replete with random tables) set on an island sandbox overrun by Hell and those convicted by the Inquisition for just $9.99? @brianyaksha.bsky.social and I are just 30 backers from funding. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... #osr

Somehow appropriate I'm seeing this on the way to chorus rehearsal.

If anyone could spare something for a new cable/power bank 🥺 (but if you can't don't worry about it). I also apparently need 90 days worth of food and bottled water that I will have to pick up from Costco next time I'm able 😔 ko-fi.com/rapidpunches

Neverwinter Nights is a big part of why I wanted to be a game developer. The creation kit felt like magic, endless possibility, and I could do everything myself. I've made friends through Dragon Age and Mass Effect fandoms. We still talk about ME1 decisions and how DA2 was flawed but amazing. Sigh.

As a graphic designer in 2026 I have become a texture hoarder, as is foretold. Recently I discovered my grandmother's vintage sheet music collection and scanned several of them to retrieve the yummy print textures. I've tweaked them to be ready to use in blending modes and uploaded them to itch

We're funded! That means we've got a little over a day to hit any of those stretch goals. Sure would be cool to get a big lore/setting book, eh?

Working on the next set of slides for my game design class. This week's genre: puzzles! I'm using a @blueprincegame.bsky.social-inspired deck, which is going to be a real treat. Does anyone know what typeface the game uses for its title?

At many points I have said that my favorite part of game design is sitting in a room with folks, making yourself laugh, and then running with it as srs design work TM. It makes me happy that teaching game design is so far the same. :)

WotC, like it or not, is the biggest force in this industry. They set the pace and expectations of those around us. Besides the inalienable rights to their labor and dignity, we all benefit from a union in that position.

nothing has ever been something more laser targeted on making me fucking S O B: the devs of dressmaker made the game because one of the partners has EDS and can no longer sew like she used to www.engadget.com/2264203/enga...

Tackle #monsterhunter monsters in @dubdubpub.itch.io's MONSTER GUTS 2e #TTRPG with these two unofficial fan supplements: Volume 1: Hunting Zones rpgtrader.com/products/100... arkhadtoa.itch.io/threats-from... Volume 2: Prey and Dromes rpgtrader.com/products/100... arkhadtoa.itch.io/threats-from...

I'm gonna say that TTRPG designers would benefit from designing outside TTRPGS. I have learned SO much on my forays into creating simple video and board games. It all cross-pollinates.

I don’t think many nondisabled people realize that laws mandating accommodations are purposefully weak. Your employer gets to decide what an “undue burden” is. They hardly ever get called to account anyway, but if they do, they can cry about money or work hours or pretty much anything they like.

even with trade in + some birthday $ it’s still going to be at least ~$500 for me to recoup the cost so commissions truly help out because this cc debt is never ending and the mental health strain it’s taking on me is a lot. shares appreciated!

Will never not repost boss, the fascism

COMMISSIONS OPEN!!! I had to shell out $$$ because my current laptop is dying and I have deadlines that I need to get done asap — shares are appreciated! COMMISSION FORM: forms.gle/gZiWX9V3JZUb...

Like, who knows how the final film will come all together. But I can say there is a powerful authorial voice in this scene alone and because of that, it offers humanity and genuine connection.

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released. Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/disneys-fi...

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban. It is one of the biggest cross-movement solidarity moments in Canada. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I’ll be at Nan Desu Kan this weekend in Denver !! It’s my first time tabling there and being in Denver but you can find me and my wares at table L8!!!

Impossible to add up all Avery's done for the medium. But easy to say how much her work helped me come to understand how to play, facilitate, and design games. Also, they're fun as hell, you should buy them!

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

I wrote about Dolly as a songteller bit.ly/4ivoW1c

You played the recorder in part to strengthen your fine motor skills and in part to introduce you to basic music theory concepts like rhythm, the C-major scale, and reading basic music notes. Your teachers wanted to make elementary music education available to all, not just the rich.

The Soviets did this with prisoners in the Gulag, for what it’s worth.

note to self: before going to a major convention, make sure you can access your social media on the devices you bring with you so that you can self-promo or connect with people before you've flown home.

REMINDER that if you have ANY REASON not to fast on Tisha B'Av, Yom Kippur or any other fast day, your reason is good enough and that mental health is health (and that if you are planning to fast, for pete's sake HYDRATE NOW) (And if you're not planning to fast, for pete's sake HYDRATE NOW)

12 hours !!! we need a bit of a Hail Mary but it would be super cool to see this project funded!!!!

shares are appreciated!!! I’ve seen kickstarters fund with less time and higher goals, help us bring this book into the world 👏👏👏
