Bookbinding supplies scattered on a table in front of a copy of Apollo 47 Technical Handbook.

And if you appreciate the rediculous at all you really do want the book.

It's a favorite of my collection

A spread of handwritten pages and two fountain pens

A grid of nine bright orange, black, white, and red unique handmade covers

Making nine copies of my small and brutal cyberpunk game Cyphernoided2600 by hand.

Hopefully they'll be ready in time for Game Hole Con.

Check in with Storygames Chicago (@storygameschicago.bsky.social) at the con to see if I finished in time!

People who disagree have different goals or different assumptions

I am not interested in art that isn't made by perverts.

I applaud Steve Jackson Games for making art worth my attention.

Chess, but queens, rooks, and bishops can be taken en passant.

I had a great time on Game Storm. I'm excited for where the show is going!

just got a payout from itch that i requested a week ago. there's a lot of misinformation going around about itch, so i want to be clear that itch is currently allowing me to:

- sell my porn work
- display it on my profile page
- receive money for it

This looks fantastic! Thanks @jesseross.com

This is unfortunately more important than it seems.

Playing the Landlord's Game by Storygames Chicago A short storygaming focusing the realities of capital and a rent economy.

And here's the game we designed (after a little refinement) can you guess what board game is based on?

Hey I'm on a podcast where we designed a game #ttrpg in about an hour based on a random prompt.

This was a fun challenge

Now from "science of storytelling"

Every story is "something has changed"

Brains are built to notice and ad meaning to unexpected change

#oldnotes #ttrpg #gamedesign

I'm gonna start going through old notebooks and post interesting ideas for #ttrpg #gamedesign that I want to remember and talk about.

We've been having a similar conversation at @storygameschicago.bsky.social

I generally like this approach

itch is reindexing FREE adult content (i.e. downloads that don't have to go through payment processors)

I was in on the first play test of this. It was a simple idea but just sparked and caught fire at the table immediately.

Showed me that games are ready for a play test way earlier than you might think

We complaining to visa and MasterCard too?

I just wrote an email to itch.io voicing my concerns about their recent announcements. I sell enough there that I hope they pay at least a little attention.

Write 'em at support@itch.io

This is a feeling I want my fantasy games to produce.

How do we do this with a conversation?

#ttrpg #fantasy

time for a hard pivot to print i guess

Interesting article considering how #literary techniques relate to #ttrpgs

I'm looking forward to more on this. Literary Epic Fantasy is a primary design goal of my game Treacherous Winds and I could use the help thinking that through!

I wrote another post for the Chicago Storygames newsletter!

Vibe coding is a super leaky abstraction right now.

Curious how quick and how far it'll tighten up.
