This is 100% how my teacher friend and I felt about it. We finished the film and then talked for an hour about how close it was to saying something about schools and violence and kids and teachers while ultimately not really saying anything.

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

Oh hey, I hope you like TWWLB!

If you're interested in recreating it digitally, there's actually instructions for online play included in the digital files. IPR should send you the digital version if you email them your receipt, or otherwise I'd be happy to send an itchio code your way.

I dunno folks, I think running RPGs out of 400 page hardback books might be dumb and bad

I've been reading the webcomic The Property of Hate by @modmad.bsky.social since high school. Nothing else quite like it.

Over $50 million for GMs (w/ @startplaying.bsky.social )

In this episode we discuss how StartPlaying is allowing GMs to make a living in TTRPGs, how the platform can help expand the hobby and introduce new games, and the power of community created through play.

Soliciting suggestions for solo journaling TTRPGs for someone who isnโ€™t fully sold on the idea of journaling! They do enjoy strategy games and puzzles, so Iโ€™m looking for similar gateway games.
Iโ€™ve already recommended SPINE by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social & Dead Belt by @acoupleofdrakes.bsky.social.

The Guess The TTRPG challenge I brought to PAX Unplugged is now available online! Can you identify one hundred tabletop RPGs featured on @partyofonepodcast.bsky.social?
There's also a link to a spreadsheet with links to every featured game! Have fun :D

I used to be a lead bookseller at one of the biggest bookshops in the UK. We had a reputation for being able to "break" books, i.e. build hype for books we got behind and make them start selling.

That often involved handselling just 9 or 10 copies over a couple of days.

In 2024 I had tickets and a hotel and then cancelled because of life stuff. And then this year I was fully intending to go, but then decided I was gonna move and I didn't know the timeline, and now I'm glad I made that choice because OTHER life stuff happened.
