Genius! This show started about as off the wall, madcap as you can get and ended with such emotional debt and feeling. I laughed and cried. I will miss these Fools.

How many people get to make a show based on a game you made with a friend, based on the show you made with a friend, based on a lifelong friendship with said friend? And to have the greatest cast imaginable on it???
It's A Gamble has a special place in my heart
probably some of the hardest I've laughed listening to a podcast, do yourself a favor and check out this miniseries

It's a Gamble wraps this week!
8 episodes. 3 new Fools.
A world where consequence is dead, heists always have a hitch, and the Lovers are in trouble.
Also there's a very important goose named Duck Duck.

"oh it's a transformer!"

"...oh it's an *insecure* transformer"
keeps delivering joy right into my ear tubes
There is nothing like the feeling of an amazing TTRPG session. I just played a 4 hour game of A Fool’s Errand and it was the best experience I have had around a table. The GMs, the players and the cards came together to tell a story of lost family, academic rivalry, mycelium and reinvention.

A soft cover book in pink and teal with an android holding a rose on a sheet of red velvet with tarot cards scattered about. The backdrop is a series of colorful postcards
I can not wait to play A Fool’s Errand again. Our band of fools have their work cut out trying to stop the constellations vanishing as the stars wink out! I highly recommend trying this game for yourself! @planetarcanapod.bsky.social

A book cover titled "A Fool's Errand" by J. Strautman and B. Marsollier. The art features a slender, pale-green alien character walking across a floating island, carrying a bindle on a stick and holding a single white rose. A small white dog with blue eyes trots alongside. In the background, a hazy pink and purple sky hangs over a futuristic city with neon lights and palm-like alien flora. The text "NEW ARRIVAL" is at the top and "NOW @ TABLETOP BOOKSHELF" is at the bottom in bold yellow letters.
A two-page spread from a tabletop RPG rulebook. Page 106, titled "End of Encounter," details how to determine narrative outcomes using a deck of cards, featuring a table for "Redrawing an Outcome" with costs like "Stamina" or "Scars." Page 107 features a "GM TIP" box and an illustration of a classic Tarot card, the Five of Wands, showing five people engaged in a mock or chaotic struggle with wooden staves.
A two-page spread featuring a "Key Paragonian NPC" named Lux Booker. Lux is a "Steam Android" depicted as a green, barrel-chested robot sitting in a plush teal armchair, holding a smoking cigar and a pink popsicle. The right page introduces the location "TROPONEO VEGA" with an Art Deco-style illustration of a retro slot machine. The text describes the city as a "neon jungle-city" balancing crime and hedonism.
A teal-colored introductory page titled "the characters" for a guided Session Zero. The page features a mock-up of a social media profile on a site called "pipspace." The profile is for "Beefs Impartial," a human male with a square body shape and a stern expression wearing a military-style uniform. A humorous banner ad at the top of the profile reads, "STOP GETTING HOT ALONE - SEXY STEAM ANDROIDS IN YOUR AREA."
NEW ARRIVAL: A Fool’s Errand by @strautmaskreplica.bsky.social is a storytelling roleplaying game about grappling with godhood and keeping the gods in check. Use tarot cards to add complications and resolve obstacles as you explore the 5th Collide and the Dream & Digital Networks.

A mutual aid poster with a picture of Lexi (a brown-skinned femme-presenting person) in a circular frame at the top. It advertises two days of fundraising, January 22nd where she plans to do a video game marathon and script reading game called script blitz. On January 23, she will play The Quiet Year Live with Kendrick Smith and live artist Nala J. Wu. Finally there are fun tags across the poster that read, 'fun! music! games! gay people!' and a caption that reads, "help me raise funds to help with my living situation!' and a ko-fi link that is linked later in the post.
HELLO FRIENDS!!! this week i'm going to be streaming and raising funds to alleviate the financial stress of my current living situation! THURSDAY we're going to be playing THE QUIET YEAR LIVE with an actual artist (@naladraws.com!!!) and some friends @kendomakesfilms.bsky.social and more!!
