🌻We've passed $43,000 for queer artists on a sunny Sunday. Get over 600 games and projects for $60 (or $10+) and help these artists survive:

My Slugblaster group has invented a cooler, better version of Twitter called "Skitter" in which posts are called "Squeaks" and the logo is of a computer mouse with whiskers and paws and a tail. If anyone wants to steal this idea and make it a reality you have my blessing

It’s almost impossible to come up with an exhaustive list of unacceptable products to sell, so often we have to take content reviews one at a time. If an issue arises with your account that isn’t already covered by our policy, then we will contact you and share what options you may have. If you've collected money while in violation of terms, we may be forced to refund or freeze all pending transactions, as accounts that are in violation of our terms are not eligible for payouts.

Itch's new content policy is:

1. We can't tell you what violates the rules.

2. If you violate the rules, we take all your money. Not just the money from that work, ALL your money from EVERYTHING you've ever made.

I don't care how much of a smol bean Itch is, this is not a viable platform.

01: There is a woman facing you with a confident expression. She has blond hair, messy twin pigtails, a small angel wing coming off the right side of her head, and a devil horn coming off the left. She has a big angel wing coming off the left side of her back, and a devil wing coming off the right. Her right eye is teal and has an 'X' pattern on the pupil, whereas her right eye is indigo and has a circle pattern on the pupil. She wears a pink neckerchief, and a tight sleeveless top that's blue on the top half and dark purple on the bottom. She also has disconnected sleeves, so her shoulders are still visible. She says "HEY!! It's ME, you're OLD OC. Haven't drawn ME in a while, HAVE YA'?" 02: She puts up her hands in front of her, as if you say 'stop it'. She has big, robotic hands. She says "No no, IT'S OKAY! Let's be real, my design is pretty amateurish HAHA" 03: She turns a bit to the side, and adopts a more sympathetic expression, but keeps looking you in the eyes. She says "But I want you to know that I've been there all this time. I've watched you grow. And you've grown SO much." 04: Closeup of her face as her confident expression returns. She tilts her head and gives you a wink. "Proud of ya', kid."

The Yellow Knife by Argento Fusilli sounds good as hell

me when people ask for advice about becoming a commercially successful game designer instead of about making games

So far I have killed and devoured 4 Indie TTRPG Designers and incorporated their uniqueness into my own. Hmu if you want me to stalk you through the ICC later tonight, fear beating venom through your veins like needles as you catch a glimpse of the something deadly out of your eye.

my most hinged ttrpg opinion is that perfect binding is better than staplebound zines

Affinity Publisher table tool can go directly to hell; look at what it has done to me.

It's both easier and better-looking to make this shit out of 13 separate pieces than to use the table tool.

I like writing examples of play :>

Exploring a dungeon

more art for DURF Expanded

And we habitually think of the decoupling of those two things as a problem - that if the players aren't navigating the rules in harmonious lockstep with how the designers created them, there must be a problem (in procedural clarity, incentive coherency, etc). But maybe there's fruitful space there?

Screenshot of a notepad file containing dozens & dozens of lines of text comparing the statistical outcomes of different hands of dice of different sizes with different target numbers.

This is what anydice.com spiraling looks like. Know the signs. If you or a loved one have multiple .txt files open comparing the statistical outcomes of literally dozens of dice patterns, know that you are diseased and that there is no salvation for you. No help is coming. This is your life now.

So you’re a game designer who wants people to write adventures for your system.
Here’s how you facilitate that:

an rpg where every class/role has totally different rules from a bunch of different popular SRDs and hacks (blades, caltrop core, etc)
i just want to slap a ton of compatible logos on one cover

the ttrpg design urge to type "you get the idea" instead of writing rules

"You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you."
