Found a great quote online
"humans only understand themselves through stories, and stories need to be told to others to be understood"
It was great to see u man! The cookies are almost done >:D
Just got back from the United Kingdom, happy I could see the cherry blossoms in London and pass some Chinese New Year/Ramadan festive cookies to Kellynn, as well as @babblegumsam.bsky.social and @pixelgrotto.bsky.social! Truly happy to meet and reconnect with my TTRPG family everywhere in the world.

They announced my stretch goal for Blades '68! Let's get to $390,000 so I can write about The Inaugural Crowfoot Wargaming Convention of '68 (which split of from the Charterhall Conference On Historical and Strategic Wargames that started two years before). www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...
Sometimes acting with true love really hurts
Sometimes it means going to war and getting bloodied
But with true love, eventually it all makes sense once you can see true love for what it simply is
It's been a couple years since Reach of the Roach God was published, and I'm still thinking about how it pulled off stat blocks without stats.
It's a load-bearing piece of tech that's criminally underused.

The most important thing I've learnt in the past 28 years in my life is that it's never about what you can accomplish but about the bonds you cultivate and nurture with yourself and others
Winning is a losing game, but love is always the winning move
I believe in you!
Have you seen queer/gay Catholics before?
They're Catholic as fuck
And some of the most open-minded, compassionate ppl I know
In other news, I've unironically converted to Catholicism after much research, reflection, prayer, and contemplation
Nothing's more Catholic than fully being Catholic while being the sort of Catholic the Catholics would spend heaps of money trying to execute for heresy
I'll never regret my increasingly conscious decision to embrace myself as the sick fuck I really am
My main rule of thumb for doing stuff and living my life is to ask myself the question:
"Would this get me executed for heresy and witchcraft by the Catholic Inquisition in the 16th century?"
Gotta love how a lot of the intellectual, academic, creative, critical artists-writers-designers-philosophers in my circles are at their core massive and exuberant shitposters

Hello. It's my final week as a full time game designer, and as if to underline why I can't do this anymore, I currently can't afford to cover my bills at the end of the month.
All of my work on itch is on sale. Tell your friends, buy something, thank you very much.

This is the new thing I am excited about. I got too tired to be invited on RTFM and so I made my own book club podcast.
But it's not just me trying to say smart things about games. It's a two part show, with the second part being me engaging with audience feedback and comments!
Oh hell yea this is perfect!
I'll buzz ya when it's been drafted
In addition to @breathingstories.bsky.social's seminal Autobiographical TTRPG 'Logan: The TTRPG', are there any other explicitly autobiographical games that anyone can recommend?
Feel free to suggest your own!
This is for an academic research paper I'm working on

Infinite Revolution: Overdrive designer, @gwencie.bsky.social, is the first subject to enter a new gauntlet, er-- recurring series: The Rascal 7.
Seven extremely serious, hard-nosed inquiries meant to drill down to the core of a game. This time: mecha, magical girls, and the guts of dead designs.
This is part of how I'm planning to get more coverage of new games on the site and let designers talk about their work in a format I hope readers will find entertaining.
If you can relate to this please let me know
It can't just be me
