had the absolute beeeeeest time playing Mr. Boggs the grouchy sentient-raincloud-manifesting accountant with a secret briefcase in @frogqueengames.bsky.social's take on @jdragsky.bsky.social's YAZEBA'S BED AND BREAKFAST just now.

We had a great time, can't wait to run more of your adventures! Thank you for writing them!

My players were amazed that the dog farts and spiritual flees were in fact part of the adventure as written and not something goofy I'd come up with on the spot (which they're used to). Bodie's adventures are just that wonderfully insane!

Forest of Fur by Bodie H. The cover featured a giant dog with the roof of a house on his head and two airships flying over him.

Had an ABSOLUTE BLAST running Forest of Fur by @bodieh.bsky.social this past weekend. Got to say "you perfectly massage the dog's butthole" which is a phrase I never thought I'd use as a DM (or in general).

It was SO cool, and she really nailed giving the game a distinct voice. It all sounded like production and the host speaking to the player, I legit wanna play this game

An illustration of an elevator. A sign on top has a down arrow that doubles as the letter u in the word "STUCK."

Text reads:

"Sometimes sharing your secrets with strangers is easier than sharing them with your loved ones.

First, your characters do not know each other. Then, they know each other very well. After, they never know each other again. 

Making your Character:
Name & Pronouns
Where are you going and why are you in a hurry?
What secret are you hiding?

Your characters are alone together in an elevator. Despite barely glancing at each other, you’ve both already formed a first impression. Describe it.

Just published STUCK, a 2 player game of emotional intimacy with a stranger.

Sometimes it's easier to share secrets with someone you'll never see again than someone you see everyday. When your characters get stuck on an elevator, they form an intense but temporary bond.

screenshot of a post from me. It features my handle as well as the post content itself, which is not important for this example. The key important factor is that right below my name is a little label that says "he/him" on it and it is circled with a red, drawn on rectangle to draw attention to it.

Profile of the 'Pronouns' account that shows the header image, avatar, and instructions on how to add the label service to your account. The subscribe button and post button on the profile have had a red circle drawn around them to draw attention to them.

BlueSky has some neat tools.

I really like this one - it labels your pronouns at the post level, so it saves folks having to click through to people's profiles to see what pronouns they prefer.

To see/use it:

1. subscribe to: bsky.app/profile/pron...

2. Go to 'Posts' tab and 'like' your pronoun

Being unemployed has confirmed that, unless it's something I REALLY love, I don't want a job that uses too much creative energy. I've been creating and writing so much this month and I don't want to lose that again
