Empathy to every nominee who would like to be celebrating this lovely achievement WITH their co-creators, instead of having the moment overshadowed by a committee misstep.

Congratulations!! That's a great feeling. It's such a tough game imo, especially against an opponent who plays it regularly. (Most people who play chess are better than me hehe, but I enjoy it anyway). Well done!

Here's a meme: I want uglier games that are harder to understand made by people who've never read a TTRPG, and I'm not kidding.

I have written a manifesto against understanding. Against bullet points. Against it all.

TTRPGs are

art, a vague and meaningful thing that begs interpretation.

used as manuals, a reference material to be thoroughly understood.

selfish things, multi-discipline and vulnerable expressions of self.

selfless things, that inspire deep creative instincts in others.

wicked contradictions

Dude that video essay I made last year actually slaps. I just rewatched it on a whim... I was onto something there, perhaps

I should have included the creators of all these games in the posts!! Argggh. Most of them are either in the posts or the alt text for the images, but I will do better going forward

The cover of We Are But Worms, subtitled "a one word RPG." The text is in a bold white serif font with black drip shadows. The background is a ton of sour gummy worms in a pile, viewed close up from above.

9. We Are But Worms by Riverhouse Games. I think I was already on a good path with the little games I make before encountering this one. However, if I had come across this game earlier, it would have accelerated my whole thing significantly.

The thumbnail for HARDCASE. The background is black, and the title is displayed in yellow outlines, think sans serif, hard-corner font. A yellow star bursts above the second "A" in "HARDCASE," leaving behind it a trail.  Fainter yellow, dotted lines orbit the bottom left corner. Below the title, thin yellow serif font text reads "solo roleplaying at the ass-end of a space elevator."

8. HARDCASE by @keftiu.bsky.social. I will never stop yapping about this game. One of the best solo TTRPGs of all time, if you ask me. My first day of my first playthrough, I accidentally delivered a bomb for $5 but got stabbed on the way and had to spend $3 on a doctor. Couldn't pay rent. No notes

The cover of ARC, a TTRPG. It has a black background with an illustration of oranges, grey-blues, pale greens, yellow, and pearlescent colors. A glowing figure stands far away from the viewer on what might be water or else a path, beneath the silhouette of a huge, barren tree. Behind the tree, a large orange sun. Facing off against the figure is another, this time in the foreground and largely silhouetted in black with orange edge lights, emanating from the sword they brandish. Their head looks like a giant pearl or small, smooth moon or maybe a marble. The title is centered on the cover in a white serif font, which is echoed in a larger, darker font behind it, written in a descending diagonal. The back cover of ARC. It's black with beige, brown, mustard yellow, and pink text. The text shows a description of the game, available elsewhere online. Below the description, a logo reading "EXALTED FUNERAL" and a barcode.

7. ARC. I have yet to play or even fully read this game, but its intelligent, lush layout and illustrations make it a gorgeous addition to my bookshelf. I love a doomed (or is it doomed? 🤔🧐) narrative.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

A colorful collage of the eight character playbooks in Blades '68. The robotic Hull, the shadowy Operative, the freewheeling Swinger, the taciturn Veteran, the zealous Militant, the freaky Paranormalist, the stoic Intellectual, and the hard-bitten Fixer.

Hull. Operative. Swinger. Veteran. Militant. Paranormalist. Intellectual. Hound.
Someone on the crew needs to get their hands dirty.
Will it be you?

A copy of microscope by Ben Robbins, lying on a wrinkled white sheet. A black cat's paw pokes into the image from the upper left corner. The book's cover is shiny black. The white title is in a sans serif font, and below it, smaller text reads: "a fractal role-playing game of epic histories, by Ben Robbins." Next to the title, a logo made of thin-lined circles within circles -- not concentric, but slightly off-center as they get smaller.

6. Microscope. This was one of the first tabletop roleplaying games I ever played, and it was definitely the first worldbuilding one. Thank goodness for Microscope. It really holds up, all these years later. Photo featuring my cat's little paw.

The covers of .DUNGEON//REMASTERED and .dungeon, on the left and right respectively. They sit on a wrinkled white sheet. The cover on the left is all black and white -- black background, white title, and a white arch with black stairs leading up to the unknown. The cover on the right features no title and is extremely vibrant. Three adventurers stand on lush green grass with blue water, a pink bridge, and a pink-orange gradient cloudy sky behind them. Each adventurer has a level and health bar over their head. The rightmost adventurer is crouched down to speak to a small figure (perhaps a child or a pixie), who points to the right. Two other small figures peak out from behind some large white and pink mushrooms nearby.

5. .dungeon and .DUNGEON//REMASTERED. Whoops, another game by snow! I absolutely adore the original, and the remaster really leans into the dead MMO setting. It's more eerie. I really want to play or run this again someday. Perhaps when the new edition comes out 👀

U.S. court allows state bans on gender-affirming care for adults in unprecedented ruling While bans on trans youth’s care have been numerous in recent years, this is the first to restrict care for transgender adults.

NEWS: It was never about the children.

Transgender adults now face care restrictions after the ruling of the federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia.

I agree! My vault is admittedly pretty chaotic, so idk how effective it would be as a flirtation device, but c'est la vie

Your daily reminder that weight/size is not an indicator of health

And also being quote-unquote “healthy” (whatever that means) is not an indicator of character or worth.

And ALSO that anything to the contrary is simply ableist as fuck 🥰
