big new vid! it's for my grandmas but you can watch it too if you want. it's called one of these two things depending on which one goes MEGA VIRAL. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fUp...

Sometimes you pitch something more or less out of the blue and then the person says "yea, that sounds awesome - we'll pay you to write that" and it feels wonderful. 😃

I just grabbed this for my Plex/Jellyfin, and I'm so excited to watch it. Just an extremely cool idea (supercut of ~400 horror films to create a single overarching nature of a mom, dad, and kid moving into a scary/bad house).

Session #13 of Stonetop tonight! It's mostly going to be a downtime/time jump session as we progress to midsummer and the group preps to head back north to join a force of militant monks in assaulting a cult stronghold in the mountains.

It's a few more hours until the season ends but I had to reflect on my first-ever Great Big Discord RPG dndramaturgy.com/2026/10/25/c...

AND IT’S LIVE! The Turtle God waits for you, beneath 210+ rooms of traps, mummies, bugs, psychotic gnomes, strange rabbit men, byzantine machinery, and twisting tunnels! Get in the hole! #osr #oldschoolessentials www.kickstarter.com/projects/see...

I'm a simple man. If I see you using AI, I'm unfollowing and disregarding whatever you're promoting. I don't care if you're an artist and you're using it to "vibe code." Fuck off

toronto friends, check out this exhibition at TMU by @snaxwell.bsky.social! Seasonala Cemetery is in it alongside a bunch of other amazing "no game" games (my favourite type of game)

Ansible Uplink reviewed The Bloodfield at Blackstar Station! It was really fun listening to @5mwpress.com and @panictable.com walk through the module. Maybe I should make another one of these some time! www.patreon.com/AnsibleUplin...

Buoy, it is so fucking crazy to see something you were part of grow such awesome legs and hearing people enjoying it this much!

A player also dropped a really nice review/play report of The Bloodfields over on the Mothership discord. I'm always happy to know this zine (that feels like something I made so long ago) is still being played!

Saw Street Fighter. Some fun moments and a pretty good cast but mostly, it just had a ton of wasted potential. Dreadful fight cinematography/direction. Very weird editing. Anime intros and flashbacks that looked cooler and took the story way more seriously. Quippy humor undercutting everything.

Over a year ago, I released a multi-ttrpg campaign framework inspired by REBOOT, titled CAMPAIGN.FRAME. Today I'm releasing it's sequel. It's called time.war. It's free. mint-rabbit.itch.io/timewar

Mail Day - Last Light Station by @ghosttropic.org! The riso print looks killer!

Welcome to the Pyramid Casino. THE HOUSE EDGE is funding now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hau...

Locked In, A Liminal Horror Halloween Scenario! Join us for a costume party at a “haunted” sanitarium where the ghosts are the least of your worries. This First Fright Edition is in early access (pre-edits and some final design bits, but everything needed to run) goblinarchives.itch.io/locked-in

The next Missive should be out later this week! If you have some MORE COOL STUFF, you'd like to see me include - drop it here so I can check it out. I can't guarantee it'll make it in but I will give it a look for consideration.

Enjoyed Kinda Funny's Top 100 Games of All Time list (I normally don't watch their stuff) but now it has me really craving the same kind of project from a crew with less basic/mainstream tastes. Wish I'd come away with more games to explore (Oh and also like any women being involved would be cool).

Reading over the minimalist jam page by @binarystar.games and I cannot emphasize enough how important this part was. Felt like a much needed wake up call.

Just bought the game, and I'm definitely grabbing this too.

Fuck it, #Over/Under changed a lot of people's lives, including mine. Did you meet friends you still talk to a year on? Did O/U inspire you to start publishing material for games? Did O/U turn you gay? Answer my poll and I'll throw the results up in a sappy post in a week forms.gle/z6UvZVmBsCbE...

Just beat Star Wars: Galactic Racer! Such a fun campaign and a structure for racing I hope we'll see a lot of games steal from in the near future. It says a lot that they managed to get me to really care about a Star Wars game (the second one this year, in fact) AND a racing game. Check it out!

Magic: The Gathering is certainly a game.

I'm worried my brain is irredeemably damaged because when I got this text from Christian the first thing I thought of was the naomi wolf tweet

Dropping my own thank yous and goodbyes in the battlestations now - wow, what a month. What a game. What a bunch of amazing players - both inside and outside of my faction. #OVER/UNDER

Can you tell which station the Canyonheavy Cowboys got to name? #OVER/UNDER

The Canyonheavy Cowboys unveiled a thread called "CHC Boss VONC" which stands for Vault of Nice Compliments where they all wrote thank you and nice memories about us from the last month in #OVER/UNDER. There's dozens of post like this...😭

Happy first anniversary of #OVER/UNDER! Here are all the various iterations of Denk "Freaky" Fontaine, my denizen who unexpectedly ascended to CHC hacker boss. I still think of (and miss) Denk, the Dream, and all its denizens quite regularly.

#OVER/UNDER is now OVER - and I'm teary-eyed and emotionally drained. The post-game decompression channels have opened... and I still can't RPing.

The graph GROWS. Fun to give it a fresh look after every writing session.

Wild to think it's already been a year. I still think about this game, the Dream, these characters, all the time!
