Sylvan Lawrence Is Not Allowed to Watch Birds

Yo internet! I’m a composer and my finances are a little shaky at the moment and I need some work to get me through the summer till my other job as a teacher resumes.

I can make you a groovy, catchy, vibey, or spooky song like the one below for between $350-$500.

(Reposts appreciated!)

What if I just quietly dropped an SRD and didn't say anything

If you’re a working artist of any stripe, it’s well worth the $1 to read this article about Jennifer Kretchmer’s vision accessibility work. Really, really inspiring and incredibly thorough work

a poster that reads: HELP! an indie TTRPG game designer pay their rent SALE. below are the covers of the 12 games in sale. get 12 games for $15 dngn club

I wouldn't shilling so hard if it wasn't an emergency. Had some unexpected expenses this summer (which is the slower season for my household) and we are try to catch up. Please consider grabbing EVERY PAID GAME I HAVE for $15 bucks and/or sharing this around.

Thank you so much!

14. Horror games that let the player choose when their character dies actually have more tension, not less

13. Cortex Prime is pretty alright

7. The only valid game award is the Sprinties

12. Gamers' obsession with needing physical copies of games in order to consider playing them while also having an enormous backlog of games on their shelf that they will never even read is bazonkers

11. There has never been a licensed TTRPG that I have been legitimately interested in playing and there probably never will be

10. Describing a game by its "level of crunch" is as unhelpful as describing it by its "level of cozy" is as unhelpful as describing by reading the ISBN barcode off the back

9. Making a distinction between rules-first and story-first is weird. You are weird for doing that.

8. LARPing, much like birdwatching, is held back from rampant popularity only by negative social associations that people have about an activity they don't even engage in

7. The only valid game award is the Sprinties

6. Enjoying using dice in a game and enjoying owning dice are actually completely separate and I think if people saw their dice collections as collections and not toolboxes we would see a lot less DnD

5. Trying to define OSR and get everyone to agree on it is like trying to define religion and get everyone to agree on it

4. Because there is no set definition for "success" as a designer, there is no reason why you cannot claim that you are successful as a game designer. If you have accomplished even one of the goals you've set out to do, you have succeeded.

3. The amount of attention and space we give to certain designers in the community as "Luminaries" is disturbing and unfair to not only other writers but also to the very designers we put on a pedestal. Your favorite game designer is a person. Act like it.

2. Most people that play with an X-card have no idea what to do if someone actually taps it, leading to a false sense of safety and security and a weighty expectation *not* to use the tool on the table that is supposed to be for everyone

1. Games that are hacks of existing systems are often more playable and enjoyable than games built on original systems. The amount of playtesting and fine-tuning required for an original system is significantly higher, and building a system ground-up is a v different skill set from narrative design

Yeah alright fine

One like = one unhinged TTRPG opinion (that I actually and sincerely believe in)

Gonna try to make these genuinely unhinged, we'll see how far we get

Summer is evil send tweet

Banger thread oomfie

Newgrounds' approach to verifying age is interesting and transparent.

I'm not at Gen Con but rather am attending a secret, second, far more sinister function.
