What would help most is steady employment. #accessibility or #UX but can also edit: recently edited @highlevelgames.bsky.social 's May I Enter. Recently working with MCDM on #ttrpg accessibility consulting. Site: kita11y.work (UX portfolio), foxdesign.tech (personal site & accessibility ref)

Survival By Snark & Sincerity: Shiny Things In Dark Times Survival By Snark & Sincerity is a collection of pins for people who know we're Going Through Some Sh*t, and the only way we survive is by laughing about it all.

Hey! We broke $5K right before starting day 2 of 21.

Thank you so much to everybody who has backed and shared this. Last year was super hard—we lost a major supplier bc of tariffs, which gutted us economically—and I had been really dispirited, really wondering if I still had it in me.

@simulacratv.bsky.social You should do this!

Have you ever made a game about music and if so, what genre? #ttrpg #gamedesign

I'm excited to watch your progress!

Oh nice! This fits with my question from the other day about games that use real world timing too! Thanks!

I only ever hear good things about Delta Green.

Tell me about a cool new game you like!? #ttrpg #ttrpgrising #gamedesign

White space is the idea you don't need to write out everything, players and GMs will build out the setting.

I used the term Green space last night and I like it more.

Green space is where you have seeded story hooks and ideas for GMs and players to intentionally build off. #ttrpg #gamedesign

I'm both thankful and distressed that you brought this to my attention 😂

Time in RPGs is something I don't think gets talked about enough. D&D was often initially run in semi - real-time. But I don't think I know of another game that does. Instead most games go for a cinematic time that flows as the story needs. Has anyone experimented with this? #gamedesign #ttrpg

Tell me more about facing challenges you normally wouldn't? :)

Why do we want to tell a story? :)

What do you think the purpose of a roleplaying game is?

#ttrpg #gamedesign

What's the weirdest TTRPG concept you've ever played?

#ttrpg #gamedesign

Exactly, glad we agreed lol

One of the worst things is brainstorming a great project idea and not having the extra brain juice to do it.

I am curious about randomizers. We've got dice, cards, spinners, rock paper scissors...

Any others? #ttrpg #gamedesign

Stranger Things is a great show. D&D is not the best game to emulate it. Would Kids on Bikes be? Maybe Call of Cthulhu?

Just remembered that Bluesky exists. When thinking about game design start with a thing that makes you happy or excited. There is no beginning you have to start with in a game, so start with something that will inspire love for your project #ttrpg #gamedesign

Come hang out with us!

@stickydoodler.bsky.social Always energizes me when we talk about game design. I picked up a game of his this weekend and his excitement around pushing the envelope about how to do game design made me impressed and delighted.
