What’s going on! Everybody’s being so nice to me today!

I want to shout out @scenefour.bsky.social 's short form videos; the stuff is impressive in breaking down tenets and philosophies of play in TTRPGs in ways that are digestible and extremely helpful.

Specifically, the ones on cultures of play are immaculate

whoops, forgot to submit a panel to Gen Con

who is running panels about GMing or social media that I can latch onto

Thank you! I really appreciate this!

I am generally running 5–8 campaigns at a time, yes. All the games are different enough that I have no problem keeping everything separate!

everyone should play triangle agency and post their play reports. It's the best game for generating bonkers play reports, and every session is 3-7 times more fun even than the report makes it sound

life's too short not to brag: i have already played more RPG sessions in 2026 than someone who plays once every week without skipping will play all year

This is one to watch. Extremely smart game from a brilliant designer.

tonight in my knight game: interviewed the digging crew of a dwarf's bloody tunnel, found the Thorn Library, met the jolly seer systematically incinerating debtors, found he got work orders from a local guildhall, gave him a list of petrified trees, and received a flaming vision of a Black Dog

Someone telling me they’re gonna play blades in the dark on my recommendation is what I assume heroin feels like

Wow everyone got a blades ‘68 stretch goal… almost everyone 🥲

Make tabletop games

These allow you to flash-forward, where you pay stress like flashbacks based on how crazy it is, but then that thing MUST happen.

Wow, you’re right, the AI is conscious! I guess that means it has to be paid for its labor. How many man-hours a day is it working? Don’t forget time and a half for overtime!

“Don’t you mean ‘empathetically’?”

“No”

today in 68: got a job from a hot mob daughter, demanded a pharmaceutical product demo, summoned a hungry echo instead, got our journo friend a scoop, set off three different types of explosives, stole the formula for precognition pills, and empathically informed the CFO he'd been pumped and dumped

I find this very sweet, in a silly and earnest way! Also, great game designer

Claw is the law

Me, rushing in to stop a group of kids playing House and Superheroes on a playground: stop!! You’re only beginners! This is a niche category of Roleplaying, you aren’t ready for it!

Me, looking at The Docks: is this Martinaise?

What if blueraker was a shagohod

Many are saying this!!

Hello AP producers, you need to get me running a Blades ‘68 campaign inspired by either Disco Elysium or Metal Gear Solid 3 immediately or you are leaving money on the table

Massively recommending Sean’s editing.

It’s /very/ good.

Whooooo could it beeeee?

Editors are always delighted to be the honing steel to game designers' razor blade, so if you've got a game you want polished and sharpened, get yourself a mysterious ~great editor~

Yes, i was very nice and ambassadorly to this person, but i am expressing my frustrations over here away from them!

fellas i'm starting to think it might be gay to play tabletop roleplaying games

I essentially told them that sapphicworld dumpsters TSL lol

I said "trans furries are the future of this medium" about RPGs in like 2022, and I have been nothing but vindicated since then
