T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)

This means that like what should be the same scene of LARPS, Forum Roleplaying, Parlor Games, Murder Mysteries, Escape Rooms, Board Games, etc all don't really have the crossover they realistically should

I went to bed an hour early last night and got an hour less sleep.

Apparently math has abandoned logic.

If you're heading to #PAXU and haven't done Games On Demand, do yourself a favor and go play something cool.

We take a journey into an unemployment nightmare in this snippet of cyberpunk fiction where waking up is worse. Not entirely autobiographical, but still therapeutic.

Twilight Sun by Fibz - Gamefound The Twilight Sun does not rise or set, it simply is. A mechanical behemoth staring down at creation in place of a long-forgotten God. Beneath its eerie glow, heritages are constantly tested. Constant...

Final 9 hours. Twilight Sun is almost at the threshold.

A strange, tragic RPG about what we carry and what we believe.

If it speaks to you, now’s the time. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

The northern lights are out tonight here in Central MA.

Coming soon: Bree-YARC Core Rules A careful blend of new and old tabletop role-playing

I've set up the pre-launch page for the Bree-YARC core rules. It's not launching until spring 2026, but I wanted to get an early jump on promotion. I'm commissioning a number of short adventures that will create a starter pack to go with it. www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi... #osr #ttrpg #dnd

I was not expecting my violent and visceral reaction to seeing this image.

I've learned something about myself today. Thanks, I guess? 😜

'Tis a dream devoutly to be wished.

Alright, it's time...

This is Voidlight: A rules-bright sci-fi horror dungeon crawl where your only safety is a beam of light that shrinks every ten minutes.

Light on rules, bound to the dark.

100 playtesters battle tested this game and it's finally available!

Good morning #ttrpg folks! Thank you for the amazing launch for #AW3rd! Y’all have pushed us so far over the stretch goal for the digital e-zine of additional materials we’re going to have to think about what might come next. It’s a lovely day! Let’s see where this thing can go!

I had a thought about adding skills to the base Daggerheart system in the shower this morning. I thought I'd jot the idea down before it left my head.

I think that's one hurdle overcome for Daggerstar system development.

Just because Americans believe it can't possibly happen here doesn't mean that it's not happening right here right now, in real time.

I hear you. That's big Strange Attractor energy. I've got a lesser form of this... ability? gene? curse?... that I call The Humanity Magnet. Strangers just start talking with me, oversharing more often than not.

And yes, I've been leaving the house less and less over the past 5 years.

I finished reading this last week, but this quote sticks in my brain.

"The whole notion of disruption is adolescent: It assumes that after the teenagers make a mess, the adults will come and clean it up.

But there are no adults. We own this mess."

- Timothy Snyder
On Tyranny, page 121.

In a cooperative hobby like ours, let us raise each other up, pierce Obscurity's sorcerous mists, and push back the Juggernaut of Indifference.

We talk. We share. We play. We take breaks, but we never stop creating.

On some level, every RPG design is an argument for how things could be better. Few things motivate design like seeing another game and being inspired by what it could be, but is not.

So you make this beautiful argument with your soul, and the overwhelming response is *always* to keep playing D&D

Laptop and screen.

Well. There goes my plans for the rest of the year, probably.
Major surgery in the next few days. Months to recover.
This has not been a great time.

I think I'm more worried about new AI "features" to "help" us that we won't be able to get rid of. Only 2 hours to go.

I appreciate your effort and reassurance. There's still plenty of misguided decisions to dread, and only 2 hours left to let the anxiety run wild.

Platform Decay, the eighth entry in the Murderbot Diaries series by @marthawells.com , will arrive on May 5, 2026. 🔥

And if you haven't seen it, the first season of the TV adaptation, available since this summer on AppleTV, is very fresh.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.

We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.

Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.

You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3
