Takopi's Original Sin was actually great. Not surprised that a lot of people missed the point of how it is meant to be about the nuance of kindness. The series is basically cosmic horror in reverse, and does a great job of exploring filial trauma cycles.

It's my birthday month and I'd like to not be homeless.

Solidarity Forever! Congratulations to @kickstarterunited.org, and thanks for the strong communication from the union that gave us clear guidance on how to help!

IglooTree is the shit. Get Zephyr there!

PHANTOM PULSE - a 90s audio drama musical PHANTOM PULSE is a rock audio drama about love, death, and everything in between from Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions.

It's #PhantomPulse time!!! I'm working with THE @laurenshippen.com to make a podcast about a 90s band who can banish ghosts with the power of music.

Starring Nicholas Podany, Erin Caesar, Erika Ishii, Briggon Snow and Juliana Gutiérrez Arango, I promise you this thing is going to go SO. HARD. 🎸👻

...me read Magpie's process in good light (not your fault; I think this is entirely a problem with brand system design and it's usual issues).

I know it's hard to write in this space. It sucks. Sorry if it's been confusing (don't worry about my notifications) 🙏

...design brief for the game was, but having worked for such companies, reading that sidebar (which is already sloppily trying to justify a design decision, something that to me is quite amateurish), and knowing the absolutely horrendous track record of Magpie as a company itself, it doesn't help...

I just think that we don't fundamentally disagree as per what you said about power level not lording over narrative agency, I'm just weirded out because ever since it's release I've heard nothing but complaints about ATLA, and the sidebar you showed me does not help the case itself. IDK what the...

more of this please

美味しぞ

...really solved by framing the process within those genres :P at least that's my opinion.

Yeah I get you, thing is, I have never seen people asking about how to create a trad game lmao. I think people who wanna design games generally try to get some sort of pointer on how to depict a particular idea, theme, or do something very specific, which is never...

Unfortunately we have very few spaces where people actively help each other design games with a particular framework in mind. I think it's one of those things that requires people with very different design expertise coming together and pulling it off :V

New #TTRPG review day!

This time a look at such a joyful game: Ryuutama by Atsuhiro Okada (translated by Matt Sanchez & Andy Kitkowski)

I absolutely love it. It's a lighthearted game about travelling and has some super interesting collaborative rules.

Whoa hey, a review of Ryuutama? In 2025? Hell yeah. One of these days we'll get the second book and other content released in English...hopefully...

....big IP games do get played, but if there's any "talk" happening, its within the niche of fans of X IP or whatever.

Like, there is not "talk" in the same way we may talk of, say, Flying Circus and the like.

See on this I'm of a different opinion. I think people play games: like, I get people reaching out to me and playing fucking Zephyr, who's got barely any presence. I do think there are particular things that spike attention online and that can make a game more or less a topic of sorts. IMHO these...
