The city of Satyrine offers many surreal delights but, with mysteries are abound, it's fair to say that "magic drugs" are *a choice*

Tip the TIN cast/crew: pally.gg/p/the-indigo...

This is an excellent read -- and even if you think you already know these things, it's worth a revisit to be reminded.

An image of a laptop. 8 Ninth-World inspired stickers decorate it, ranging from a cat-dog-lizard like beast to a humanoid riding a wind glider to people of all appearances producing strange magic.

Three small plants -- one in a red pot, one in orange, and one in a glass container -- sit in the sun. Behind them is a piece of art depicting rabbits.

Cute little doods.

#JoyIsResistance

Hurray!!!!

I am SO STOKED about this.

In a somewhat Roman, somewhat desert landscape, a woman adorned in red and blue,jewels and accessories stands, looking out confidently towards the viewer. Her guards and advisors circle her, defering to her. Behind them all sits a winged, monkey-like creature—not dissimilar to a gargoyle. Is it her pet? Or an assassin?

A suspect line up on a yellow background but the heights are marked as things like "weirdo" "liar" and 5 ft. The entities in the line-up are surreal: a group of foxes leaping out of a top hat with an explosion of glitter (Cassandra Khaw); a stack of teetering televisions showing bright erratic colors, a 404 not found warning, and a portrait of Valiant Dorian, a brown skinned man, holding an animal mask to his face (Valiant Dorian); an anatomical metal heart hanging from a chain of violets (Jess Pendley); a porcelain bust on fire (Treavor Bettis); a composite figure prancing in a petal skirt with a head made of pink tentacles, surrounded by drawings of cute animals (Shanna Germain). To the left an eye in front of a hallway watches with the note "You must be this tall to seize the rins of reality" pointing at the height lines, with the game master's name underneath (Erin M. Evans). To the End of Reason: An Invisible Sun Actual Play on twitch.tv/dungeonscrawlers Mondats 5pm PST

This feels like fate itself giving me a sign. I've really been getting into solo play and solo running adventures lately and then all the sudden one of my favorite game makers does this

#ttrpg #numenera

"Build your helper reflex."

Yes. This. Practice helping whenever/however you can.

Solo Numenera RPG you say?!?!?

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

We're fundraising for public libraries again! 📚This week, when you donate $15 USD or more to your public library, friends of a library organization, or the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social, you'll receive a free audiobook credit 💓

Last year, we raised $55,000. How much will we raise this year? ⏬

The new cover of Predation, showing a female-presenting character with purple hair using a far-future piece of tech strapped to her thigh while a biologically engineered feathered dinosaur roars beside her.

Things I have studied recently for Predation, my far-future/far-past sci-fi dinosaur game:

-Can a vehicle drive under the belly of a brontosaurus?
-What happens when lightning strikes a vehicle?
-What does eating a raw mammal taste like?
-How big were wasps in the Cretaceous Period?

Soooo shiny

If you're voting for any of the sci-fi, fantasy, or other speculative fiction awards, do consider some of my work from last year!

I'm pretty sure voting is still open for the Nebulas, the Hugos, the Locus awards, the BSFA awards, and more!

I had an excellent time chatting with @natmesnard.bsky.social and @superdillin.bsky.social about games, the playful erotic, the rise of fan-games (the next step to fan fiction?) and more!

They are cool people, if you didn’t know. Just saying.

It always comes down to the people.

I love this team so hard. They have brilliant brains and huge hearts, just like our players and fans. ❤️

The image is bright and neon, with many flashing colors. A man with a colorful mohawk and several cybernetic enhancements rushes towards the viewer, perhaps in a fight. The text around him reads "Will you fight dystopian mega-corps with me?" It is a Valentine's card from MCG.

Love has no expiration date—if you're celebrating Valentine's Day today, share this card with the special nerd in your life 🩷 The couple that disables dystopian mega-corporations together stays together!
