Seriously... Who the hell writes an article about a new movie trailer and has the audacity to not include a video of the trailer? Ugh! Now I gotta find it myself!

I just did an incredibly fun interview with Roe Caulfield for their new podcast (release date TBD), and we yapped about the online TTRPG space, how we run games, and some medium-to-spicy hot takes... I had a blast, and I'll definitely be back for another episode!

Looks like I'm gonna be running another home game soon (that's three for those counting)... We're going to venture back into D&D with some Curse of Strahd!

Are my friend(s) slowly wearing me down in their attempt to get me to not only play World of Warcraft Forever, but also play as... *shudder* Alliance...? Actually, I'm uncomfortable with this line of questioning, and I think I need to talk to a lawyer...

Man... We're just trading germs in Smash Kingdom... First I had COVID, then the Little Dragon picked up a head cold from Kindergarten, and now the Witch is sick and dying

Well... I did it... I backed Chaosium Time Without Tide... Turns out I'm a sucker for cool art, and also steam/magic-punk, and also a Victorian-esque aesthetic, and also... You know what? Whatever, it looks cool. I wanna play it

Man... I really need to find a kick-ass D&D (2024) GM to run a campaign of Auroboros: Coils of the Serpent for me, so I can play in that world... Also, since I can't stop... podcast?

Thanks, Broski!!! Love you!!

The more I look at Starfinder: Afterlight, the more Shadowrun vibes I get. Anyone else seeing that?

Whoever designed the new Lancer cover absolutely understood the assignment. I'm drooling...

Back behind the GM screen tonight for The Hollow Crown. Been a bit since we played Dragonbane, and we're on the precipice of a small(ish) dungeon... Hopefully I don't TPK them like my first group...

Reviews like this absolutely make my day. Glenbrook, my Tales from the Loop Hometown Hack, has been a labor of love... with more to come... Huge thanks to everyone who's picked it up, played in it, or left a review. It means more than you know. www.drivethrurpg.com...

Finally skimmed through the PDF for Twilight Sword RPG. It's supposed to be/feel like Zelda and Dragon Quest. It uses a d12 roll-under system and has some neat mechanics for exploration, cooking, crafting, elemental powers... Now I just need to find time to test run it...

One of my favorite new morning rituals: Watching Dragon Ball with my son while we wait for the school bus. Getting to introduce him to the shows I grew up with has been one of the coolest parts of being a dad.

Been spending some time building vertical overlays for our Patreon one-shots and Ruins of Heaven. I'm curious to see if clipping verticals on Twitch will improve discoverability with TikTok, IG Reels, and YT Shorts.

If you're in the U.S. and your community has primary elections today, don't forget to vote. Local elections shape your schools, roads, libraries, and neighborhoods more than most people realize.

New episode! Mundus Novus - Episode 46: "Now He Knows You" is live today on YouTube. I love when the characters have living parents I can sass them with... youtu.be/VNToQ7ZHcoM...

Finally finished My Hero Academia. Lemme just say... I was not emotionally prepared for that final season... maybe the last two... All of the "You don't have to do this alone; we're your friends, and we're here for you!" scenes really get me... ...sounds like a therapy topic...

New Lancer books just got announced, and I have one request: Someone... Please... Run Lancer for me... I would very much like to pilot a sick-ass mech and live my Gundam dreams!

I get why Blizzard partnered with Matt Mercer for Questwatch. He's a VA in Overwatch, Critical Role, Darrington, and Daggerheart... makes sense... But if Blizzard... Why Overwatch when Diablo is right there!?

Friday was my son's first day of kindergarten. That's wild. Crazy to think there are people in the uMG community who've been around since before he was born... Time moves way too fast... Give it another decade and I bet he'll be running better TTRPGs than I do.

Do not grieve. Soon I shall be one with the Matrix. ...one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks, and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour. Until that day... till all are one.

Proud dad moment: My son graduated from Pre-K this week. ❤️ It's wild how quickly time moves. Feels like yesterday I was trying to figure out how to balance diapers, streaming schedules, and game design... and somehow we're already here.

Experimenting with something new while editing Ruins of Heaven. Instead of my normal workflow, I'm adding ambient music and sound effects to see: • how much longer it takes • whether the extra production value is worth it • if anyone actually notices the difference

I randomly opened the "Release Radar" on my Spotify, and Less Than Jake, Blink-182, and New Found Glory all have new songs/albums?! What year is it?!

We've switched both Ruins of Heaven and Always Bloody in Doskvol over to Alchemy RPG, and I've been having a great time with it. They're hosting a Free VTT Day on June 29 with free games, adventures, maps, music, and more. Definitely worth checking out! app.alchemyrpg.com/r...

Back-to-back game day! First, we're recording Always Bloody in Doskvol @ 1pm ET! Then, we're streaming Ruins of Heaven @ 4pm ET! RoH - Ep. 2 is where we finally find out what happens after the airship crash, and I'm friggin stoked!

Tonight is Ashes of Angmar, my non-streamed One Ring campaign! Last session, the company left Bree and discovered a dead body in the Midgewater Marshes. You know... normal Middle-earth activities...

We're starting a Fabula Ultima campaign at home, and my buddy's wife joined us for some world-building. She was clearly nervous, but everyone encouraged her, asked for more details, and by the end of the night, she was very excited for the next session.

Well... that's crazy... the uMG YouTube channel is 9 years old, and I've been streaming TTRPGs since August of 2015... that's crazy. All I can say is a huge thank you to everyone who has ever tuned in, dropped by, liked, commented, subscribed, or been on our shows <3

Hey! It's Monday! What are your plans for the week? I got Fabula Ultima, Magic, One Ring, And Blades in the Dark this week!

I'm very excited to drop the first episode of our brand new show, Elyndra: Ruins of Heaven - Episode 01: Homecoming! We're using the Fabula Ultima TTJRPG from Need Games, and we've spent the last few months world and character building!

@unmadegaming.com deserves major props for delivering some uproariously funny and occasionally very moving sessions. Their Coriolis and Alien campaigns are very good!

Come join us over on Twitch for the penultimate episode of Atari Midnight: Wasted Years! Episode 11: Prime Time! #uMGAtari

Listen... If you think that because "some" brown people are criminals, that we should get rid of all the brown people, then you understand ACAB and "if you voted for him you're racist/sexist/homophobic" And to say otherwise is willful ignorance. Full stop.
