Thanks Nick! Will do! 😊

What We Played: Pottery Shards Playtesting continues for Marc’s latest project, the archaeology game currently titled Pottery Shards!

I did a little write-up of a playtest we had a few weeks ago of @thehintguy.bsky.social's current project - Pottery Shards! This one is getting close to being done! Now I just need to figure out what the best archaeology themed emojis are...

Oooo interesting. I'm a big fan of a 4 player game, and tend to use that as my baseline. Do you have a preference on number of players per scene? I love a 2 person scene and riot if there are more than 3. 🫠

doooods, hear me out:

Polaris, but the Mistake is AI…

(cuz yeah, people all over society pull their scooby doo masks off and push that slop)

Marc and I are trying to get more into the habit of doing play write-ups like in the olden days of the Story Games Seattle Meetup, if for no other reason than it's fun to look back on them years later. Here's one @thehintguy.bsky.social did for a playtest of my current project - Entanglement!

I dunno, using that list of baseball player names always seems to work

How do you get Heathcliff all fucked up if you don't have the terrible relationship between him and Hindley? That also means there's no Hareton???

WUT how????!! Ugh

Game notecards. Frogs are squishy. Frogs are cute. something something frogs are dogs.

Pffff tidying up the table I picked up the In This World papers from a game @thehintguy.bsky.social played with his friends yesterday wtf this is so great lol. @lamemage.com Look what your games make people do 😂

May I offer you a Marc? You walk through your text and questions with him and he has good ideas and a positive attitude! The optimism from this guy!

Got that good "prepping for a playtest" vibe today ☕✏️

Fedora Noir - Interview (feat. Caroline Hobbs) | Read, Play, Game

I came out of my cave and did an interview with the lovely folks on the Read, Play, Game podcast about a month ago. Listen to our delightful conversation about Fedora Noir, gm-less games, and what I'm working on next! <3

We just started playing this in our Sunday night group! We really enjoyed set up and have the most adorable lil tavern! 😊

This looks so much more relaxing and enjoyable than being crammed on that sidewalk!

Six seeeeven!

In heaven! ✋

Up high! ✋

Down low! ✋

Having a second grader in my family means I'm on the bleeding edge of culture. Please enjoy this new take on an old fave:

OMG the Untitled Goose Game record is my favorite! Enjoy!!

My parents apparently saved my 1998 Furby, and we have now unleashed it upon our kid to his great delight. I had completely forgotten that according to the tag, Furby can SEE INTO THE FUTURE, so I blame it for all of this *gestures wildly*.

We just did Wuthering Heights for our book club and capped off the evening by watching three versions of the Kate Bush music video. No other cinematic interpretation is needed imo

Thank you for sharing this! It's a super great read!

Thanks @al-lukehart.bsky.social, @lamemage.com and @thehintguy.bsky.social for such quotes as: “Boats should be seen and not heard”, “I saw a community who didn’t respect the arts once. The next year we went back? Ruins”, and "Get in loser, we’re going raiding!" ❤️

<3 Games Blog: River Hobbits & Dirty Horses One of the things I enjoy most about longer-form Downfall games is the ability to let things simmer, explore relationships outside of the Hero, and get into the heart of what different voices in the s...

I finally did a writeup for one of the Downfall games I played last year! We did something *weird* and explored two different cultures in the same broad setting, with the same Flaw. River hobbits and dirty horses warriors! One ended in disapproving gossip and the other in a bloodbath - such stakes!

Yesterday was a really productive day for the Less Than Three Games team! We both ran playtests for our works-in-progress and got some very valuable insights 🥳 Plus we made some sexy vampires (in my game) and some bog monsters (in Marc's game)!

Every now and then I see someone asking for recommendations of a GMless game to play.

Well a bunch of us made a list, complete with explanations of why we thought each game was great, so you can decide for yourself.

Fuck yeah

It was another fun year in gaming! Downfall, Kingdom, Epitaph, a bunch of playtests, In This World, Rules of Law, Follow, Grasping Nettles, Going for Broke, BFF!, Inheritance, and a bunch of others I am not organized enough to have written down! I'm looking forward to more adventures in 2026! ❤️
