Dead Belt is an very cool game.

I wrote about it a few years ago to Skeleton Code Machine: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/space-cowb...

This was from the game of Starhauler that I was playing (Breathless Jam 2 shout out!) So wild to see such a vastly different genre really hitting the right notes with the system!

I need work. You need art. Comms open. 🖤🗡️🌻

A workbook of hex grid paper. A game of the TTRPG “Star Hauler” is being played with a character sheet to track stats and supplies and a Star map on the other side.

I could play a solo TTRPG using the provided sheets OR I could make my own in this cute hex workbook in the most convoluted, asinine way possible 😅

When I GM, I always remember PORKON COWS

A pleasant conversation between a low intelligence Chosen One and Torr in Fallout 2

My favourite detail about Fallout 2 is that if you're playing as a low intelligence character, you'll have moments like these where you and other equally dumb characters can have a normal conversation

I didn’t see it, but hearing that ya boi, Fox McCloud, is the best part of the new Mario movie.

If that stokes your fire for a StarFox style TTRPG I think I can help…

I'm so happy I recorded and published all those amazing interviews from @pandiongames.com @gilarpgs.bsky.social @youngking45.bsky.social and @binarystar.games

Because now, I'm pretty confident they are some of the best resources you can use to publish your own Breathless game.

Playing Alone Together My essay in The Soloist, plus the social dyanamics of solo RPGs.

Last week, @the-soloist.itch.io published my essay "Playing Alone Together" about my experience running solo rpgs for groups at Breakout Con. With permission, I'm reposting it in my own newsletter plus a little nugget of my own, where I give my "nutshell" take on how solo RPGs are never truly solo.

The artemis II recovery patches go so hard

I love this more insectoid look for the big bright bug! 🦾

I want to watch each and every one right now.

Playing Solo RPG's Together Plus New Solo Games, My Exploration of Old Morris Cave, and a SOLO BORG Playtest

The @the-soloist.itch.io's most recent newsletter just came out. The headliner is a short piece that I wrote, titled "Playing Alone Together" — a writeup about my experience running solo RPGs for groups at Breakout Con.

Some spoilers: It was very fun.

I like “Rip & Tear” the best - also those words can make a bitchin logo.

“Knee Deep in the Dice” is a bad name but I also like it 🤪

One of my all time favorite TTRPGs (better yet – one you can grab and play in the same night!) is now revamped, streamlined, sexier, and 100% free.

#breathless

I've got some exciting news...

As a way of saying thank you to the TTRPG community for all the love and support y'all have given me for Breathless over the years, I decided to fully revamp the original pamphlet and giive it for free for y'all to enjoy some zombie survival horror gaming ^^

Enjoy ❤️!

I had 200-300 followers on Twitter and when I saw John Harper buy and openly praise Breathless and you cannot imagine how this simple tweet made my day.

That’s why today, now that I have a way to help others I do everything I can to boost other creators.

We should be here for each other.

old commercial from pizza hut for the land before time, some memester added "the past is dead, let it go"

Reddit post titled: "What's the most elegant mechanic you've ever seen?" With the body text: "Elegance" meaning the most complex/nuanced outcome from the simplest input

A post from Reddit user fluxyggdrasil: The moment I think I "Got" Realis was a session where they were protecting a noble kid at a feast. Good kid, super naive, super surrounded by usurpers. One noble was found stabbed in the main hall. "Does anybody have a counter for the sentence "I always take drastic measures to achieve my goals?" The intent is to kill this woman." Naturally, the doctor of the group ran out and into the hall to save her. ...what they then learned was that this was a ploy to separate the doctor from the noble kid. "...The Doctor is busy, it's just you two now. And now I need to ask you: Do either of you have a counter for the sentence "I always wield an undetectable poison?" Their intent is to poison the child to death." No 'dice' or random chance, but watching those players SCRAMBLE over their sheets to try and find a sentence they could leverage in a way to counter this sentence and un-poison the kid. (Which credit where it's due, they managed to do!) But man, I never thought Diceless gaming would have any stakes or "High-Pressure" situations until I pulled that admittedly mean trick on them. Consider me a Realis believer. That entire mini-campaign was fantastic.

A follow up question from Strayl1ght: What was the counter? Now you have me invested A response from fluxyggdrasil: My Duelist PC countered by invoking their sentence +0 "I always carry a beautiful and distinct (weapon)." Their intent was to do some medieval-style bloodletting to get the poison out of the blood (or at least keep them stable long enough for the doctor to come back) as their weapon would be sharp as any scalpel, so it would be a much safer and easier cut to stitch back closed.

This is suuuuuch a good example of how Realis works. Both the way that it allows for a sort of narrative maneuvering /and/ the way it pushes everyone to really get creative with what they have on their sheets.
