I wonder what Cthulhu would say right now...

"Same shit, different eon."

Yup! It all started with Columbus, developing into full-on class warfare in the 1700s, which is essentially when the wealthy elite learned they could pit the lower classes against each other just to keep suspicions of their ill-doings down...

I doubt he'll be tried for his crimes before he kicks the bucket, but BOY—OH BOY—will that day still be awesome as hell.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from #SkullcosaGames!

I know the feeling—arcade games can't wait. 😄

I knew it was bad...
I just didn't think it was THAT bad.

@marawilson.bsky.social loved your performance in Matilda, and glad to see you're using your platform for good! I hope we can get out from under the fascism soon—keep fighting.

Yeah, 13 pages just barely touching on the dice mechanics isn't enough—the lore is there, though!!! Thanks for the advice!

Sign me up—I got a good nose.

I'm writing my own TTRPG right now and have ZERO clue where to begin with publishing it. Any tips?

Sean Duffy says he now has veto power over appropriations passed by Congress and signed into law. He is the dictator over infrastructure funds. If you do something he doesn’t like, you lose the funds passed by Congress. bsky.app/profile/atru...

#ttrpg #horror folks: I've begun development of my first TTRPG, a survival horror game called "The fLiCkEr". I'm only about 12 or 13 pages in to writing it, and I'm already looking forward to playtesting. Follow along here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

#skullcosagames #ThefLiCkEr

Character creation section of #ThefLiCkEr is underway. Six simple steps for creating an Observer. Archetypes with their own stats will also have unique abilities that will help you and the others survive the fLiCkEr.

A wrong Grok post making up a white guy who stopped the Australian mass shooting.

BBC 'Hero' who wrestled gun from Bondi shooter named as Ahmed al Ahmed Emily Atkinson Sun, December 14, 2025 at 1:06 p.m. CST 2 min read A "hero" bystander who was filmed wrestling a gun from one of the Bondi Beach attackers has been named as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed. Video verified by the BBC showed Mr Ahmed run at the gunman and seize his weapon, before turning the gun round on him, forcing his retreat. Mr Ahmed, a fruit shop owner and father of two, remains in hospital, where he has undergone surgery for bullet wounds to his arm and hand, his family told 7News Australia.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

It's fantastic. Got about 30 hours in currently. Getting everyone's job levels up.

Been playing regularly, and I agree—very well done. The voiceovers are spectacular.

My brother left on a trip when we were young. He came back bearing the three core rulebooks of DnD 3.0, and I was fascinated instantly. No prior experience with fantasy, but I always watched the Sci-Fi channel. Forever Night, Dark Shadows, Stargate—all of it. It was easy to fall into #TTRPGs.

Inspired by @gameminimalist.bsky.social mentioning what drew him into hobby games, I'd love to hear your stories of what drew you into the hobby. What was your turning point? Do you remember the thing that tipped you over the edge and down, down, down into the rabbit hole? Tell me about it.

Hi, I'm Zym, founder of #skullcosagames. Though I'm just getting off the ground, I've already begun developing my first TTRPG: #thefLiCkEr, a survival horror game where the players are caught in a rotting, glitched reality, hunted by the Residents who stalk its spaces.

Toss me a follow to keep up!

In the Parallax System, the FlIcKeR environment plays a role in your success or failure—breaking reality can sometimes turn out in your favor, so reading the dice in The FlIcKeR will be a lot like "reading tea leaves". #skullcosagames #TTRPG #gamedesign #TheFlicker #horrorttrpg

Within the FlIcKeR, Observers are subject to overwrite by the Residents. Reality trips away and fades quickly, drawing the essence of real away from Observers. If enough form has been bled, Residents can overwrite Observers...

...to take their place in life, to spread the rot of the FlIcKeR...

The Null space is where reality has decayed almost entirely, leaving behind a soundless, formless void.

No Observer can survive for very long within it, and even the Residents fear it...

#TTRPG #horror #rpg #roleplaying #ttrpgcommunity #skullcosagames #theFlIcKeR

The FlIcKeR has three distinct layers: the Liminal, the Subliminal, and the Null. The liminal space looks much like the real world, with only minor discrepancies. The subliminal space—where the Residents hunt—is the layers where reality begins to crack and crumble.
