Kyle wolf @CRXSSF4DE . someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue. it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

This is the aesthetic of the future

I need to hustle up a couple hundred Buck-a-ronis by the 21st...
Who needs some art?

hehe

teehee

That's such a stupid goal. The Wild West never existed in major cities, and the actual rural West is still wild. Most of the "taming" we did outside of cities was left fallow again because it was all inaccessible to infrastructure development and almost nobody actually wants to live like that.

Funnily enough, on my first real playthrough of DS, I went backwards through blight town solely to avoid the Taurus Demon. (To spite it for ending my previous run attempts)

This sentence is actually a great encapsulation of SAO on every macro and micro level. They set themselves up on a solid podium of conceptual marble and then proceed to win the gold in every single event at the Junk-Batting Olympics.

But this one is real though, right?

Check it, check it out.

4 panel crime against humanity P1: a two storey detached house in a garden. A speech bubble saying "hmm" butts up against the top left of the house and the panel border P2: a guy sits at a table, with a pencil and paper in his hands. There are tangents every goddamned where. He says to himself "There is something OFF about this... I can't put my finger on it" P3: POV switches to what's on the page. It's two brown skinned gentlement looking very gentlemanly. Also, tangents. Tangents galore. The guy holding the page continues: "Ah... I see..." P4: holding pencil to his chin (creating a lovely tangent), the guy says "These tanned gents aren't tanned enough"

I thought my smartphone was ruining my life, so when not in use, I set it on silent/DnD and kept it in a separate room for 3 years

The only thing that happened is that people kept getting mad at me for not getting back to them instantly, and I scrolled social media and YouTube on my desktop instead

The problem with Trello is that there's a significant spatial dimension and tactility to a board covered in loosely sorted sticky notes that you can't replicate digitally.

I.e. your real mailbox having 200 items in it is completely different from your email inbox having 200 items in it.

Imagine going on the Internet and admitting to trillions of people on the blue sky app, publicly, that your tuba doesn't wobble and flex when you play it.

Screenshot of comment from will jobst on the RPG Design Zine Two reading: The Pollockian curation of the RPG Design Zine Two serves to strategically overwhelm with plans of attack for future problems. Nathan's spectral sense of game design and design thinking show us the stream of consciousness and how to tap into his way of thinking. It's showing us the what, but taking a step back, Nathan shows us the how. Most notably, it's all coming from work within the artform. The wall-to-wall curation shows that game design and experimental development is exciting, alive, and in conversation through the past and present. Revisit this work often, because you will plot a route to new conclusions with each read. This is a trollbabe appreciation zone.

damn @willjobst.bsky.social giving me the rigorous review on the RPG Design Zine Two. thanks!

Very worth the read & starts out with this great piece of advice about money & PC goals- they need money to obtain them

since we don't have kickstarter to kind of provide some kind of exciting goal/target/sense of urgency I'm thinking maybe we do something really depressing like this instead

Neat 📸

I did this A LOT as a child and teen

Instead of asking if your partner would love you if you became a worm; ask them if they would love you if you became a clown. It's more likely to make them question it, because unlikely suddenly becoming a worm, becoming a clown is real, it's possible.

This is the premise of my HIS MAJESTY THE WORM dungeon, Shrines of the Lower Ossuary: riseupcomus.itch.io/shrines-of-t...

drew this level map today and now my hand hurts

Folks frequently ask: Josh, are you going to make an official HIS MAJESTY THE WORM Tarot?

My answer: Prolly not. But in the meantime, my vote for coolest tarot project is probably this. It's got Worm Juice.

The *free* Designing Dungeons courses also focuses on something DM University seeminglydoes not— dungeons

A basic unity of play but also a foundational structure that strengthens DM/PC skills

Cost is 2 sheets of graph paper, 1 for a map, 1 for a key. 💥 great Friday Night D&D

Getting this was a no brainer for me, but somehow it's even better than I anticipated.

Saw "How to play hard and have fun in '68" and assumed I was looking at the cover of some sort of cult classic jazz piano book.

My God.

Well.

Now's as good of a time as any to remind you that the Designing Dungeons course is free: dungeons.hismajestytheworm.games
