I was thinking just today I feel like it’s time for another charity VOID 1680AM game.

Right

Using AI to generate character portraits for your home games is still big time loser shit.

Screenshot of AI generated marketing email. It reads: Hey Matt, I've been following The Bad Spot — your Ironsworn: Starforged solo actual play is genuinely one of the most compelling things in the solo RPG space right now. The fact that you also jump into group plays like Public Access and The Between shows serious range. I'm reaching out because I'm building Rollgate, a membership platform designed specifically for TTRPG creators like you. It's fully system-agnostic, which matters when you're playing Ironsworn one season and The Between the next.

Ayyyyoooo I got another one.

Thankfully, he has an excellent tool I can use to help grow the channel and build on my success. I bet you can't guess how it works.

The Lands Remaining AP we're doing with @thebadspot.bsky.social is the best gaming I've done in my life, and if you guys don't watch the videos when they drop, I'll fucking murder you.

until act three the shark in Jaws doesn't even know people are mad at him. he's just hanging out

You gotta move pretty fast if you want to beat me to the punch re: making an obvious joke

Two words: garlic cannon

there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Fair play that’s pretty funny.

A cursed trophy. A literal bowl of blood, a penguin with feathers glued to it. A sharpie glue gunned to an honour roll. It’s fucked up.

It was the final of our Blood Bowl league today. I commissioned an artist friend to make the trophy. They didn’t know what blood bowl is and the brief was “make it look like a cursed prison art therapy project”

Brief fulfilled.

(I won the league which is great but now I have to this in my house)

I don't think I have played 9 video games.

It's just...too many...runs?

Easy I reckon. It's a road!

Oh jeez I was in a meeting for 40 minutes

Could be a long afternoon if Samson gets going.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

George Lucas meme I may have gone too far in a few places

When you set out to punish your character but it gets out of control.

We're also being supported by @jesseross.com (not in Edmonton, but has Edmonton energy - that's a compliment, Jesse, don't worry) and @pemetawe.bsky.social :D

As soon as you mention you use AI, I just assume you’re a fucking liar.

A few times now, someone has emailed me and opened by telling me how much they enjoyed my Starforged run, including specific story details from the AP.

They then go on to try and get me to endorse some horseshit AI thing.

I can only then assume the opening was a lie, fished from some AI summary.

🔈🔈 Roll call! Looking for folks who are…

– attending #UKGE 2026
– comfortable standing under the umbrella of ‘woman’ (however you choose to define it)
– creatives who have been negatively impacted by AI
– interested in sharing these experiences in public

BIPOC/BAME women prioritised, as always.

Public Access - RPG Actual Play - YouTube Our Actual Play of the very nearly complete - if as yet unreleased - second edition of Public Access by Jason Cordova

We’re kickstarting a brand-new edition of Public Access (maybe you’ve heard of it) on March 17th!

I ran a full campaign of the new edition on @thebadspot.bsky.social YT channel. It’s a great watch—and a great way to learn the game!
