Playing SOTN for the first time!

I did not do well in this fight! I had no idea the outcome affected your starting stats/item. Really cool concept.

No changes needed for the voice actors. A+++

PS My Xbox Series S won't let me screencap this game??

I have a question about tea. Too hot, and it burns. Too cold, and it's not that great.

So there's a goldilocks zone where it's just right, but it's only in that zone for about 10 minutes. So I'm either drinking fast or reheating constantly.

Should I just be lowering my standards??

The hero we need

Yeah! We're by the north coast Ohio C city.. not the middle or southern Ohio C cities. But we'll be at Origins and I'll keep that in mind next time we're driving to Louisville!

The village of Chagrin Falls is one of my favorite places in Ohio. It's doubly wonderful then to see games of ours like Harvest Hoppers and Teatime Adventures find a home there at the amazingly cozy game shop, Off the Wagon.

Buy local! Buy from your FLGS!

What kind of trap choices are you thinking of?
3E Ranger immediately comes to mind.

I'm curious, how important is balance to you in a #ttrpg? Balance can mean among classes, between levels (early vs end game), item/perk systems, & other facets.

It's funny to think that D&D 4E was probably the most balanced #dnd product published, but the least well liked

The existence of owlbears implies hawkbears, chickenbears, hummingbirdbears, duckbears, and penguinbears.

And at least some of those sound like potential food sources.

and of course reviews of stained glass board games written by Carrie's cat Ryla. I can't wait to get it out to subscribers!

Next month's volume, Winter's Shadow, is a really unique one with a stained glass cookie recipe from Kat Prohaszka, stained glass crafts from @chocmoojoo.bsky.social, fiction and a systems agnostic RPG adventure from me, an interview with Matt Fantastic & Trish Loter from Elm City Games...

@drayerink.bsky.social for Bubble Net, Catherine Croft for Cycles and many, many other designers, authors, educators, retailers, and thinkers pushing the boundaries and innovating in games. I look back at past issues and am just so impressed with the wealth of insight found in those conversations.

It's been such a joy for our team to sit and speak with so many game designers over these first two years of Cozy Companion's run, including @paulsalomon27.bsky.social for Honey Buzz, Ben Rosset for Search for Planet X, Joel Sparks for Harvest Hoppers, Scott Brady for BOOoop!...

Really excited and thankful to have a game designer interview with @boardgame.bsky.social coming up in next month's issues of Cozy Companion, @snowbrightstudio.bsky.social's cozy games and fiction magazine.

ok, you win

Where my fellow TTRPG book hoarders at? The ones who see an empty shelf as a challenge. Who read thru the stat blocks "for fun".

Whose friends "very much appreciate you running games for them but wow that's a lot of unplayed books and.. wait what did I say why are your eyes wet.."

Kevin's just this guy, you know?

TTRPG Writing Tip #333:
The only thing that players trust less than a hostile NPC is a friendly NPC.

Wait, is that just my play group?? Why did they try to kill Kevin?! He was only trying to help!!

TTRPG Writing Tip #242:
If you're at risk of procrastinating on your writing, make a cup of tea. Then make a snack. Better clean up those dishes. Wait, did you get the mail yet? The tea's cold now. Better remake it. Wow, is it 5 o'clock already? Did you even do Wordle today?

If you write a dragon into your dungeon, give it room to fly.

Making progress writing an adventure for @snowbrightstudio.bsky.social today and trying to imagine how skeletons would waltz. I feel like classic cartoons probably have this covered somewhere...

THREE other sailing the afterlife games? My goodness. Guess we'll just have to make our next RPGs even weirder.

I think we've cornered the "mice in mech suits" RPG market... so far...

I’ve been adding accounts to this pack as more #digcit folks migrate over. Give them a follow and let me know who I’ve missed! go.bsky.app/VN295HA

On the other site, I had saved a really great thread where I had asked T’s share their favorite resources as an alternative to TPT.

Can we do that here?

I’ll start some off in the comments ⬇️⬇️
