Volunteering with Scouts just gave me a chance to dust off my lapsed special interest: Geocaching :D

That’s a job for tomorrow

I did a double take too

Me: “What shall I add?”
Me: “Oh… I already dropped far too much on this and will need to clear a whole shelf.”
Me: *politely closes browser tab*
Me: *weeps softly*

I remember seeing it in action on Google+ and trying to reverse engineer the rules :D

Very excited for a Psi*Run update! The original was one of my first “Whoa! Games can do that‽” favorites.

Hell
Yeah!

(Crosses fingers for the Doomed Pilgrim x Psi*Run crossover tucked in as a bonus appendix…)

I found some OSR stashed in the bottom of my cousin’s cupboards. It’s lost a little potency over the years but still hits pretty hard.

4 panels, black and white photos showing a soda can tab being removed along with the pour hole section. Super spooky!

Just traumatizing my friend who’s collecting can tabs for a project—they’d never seen “wish tabs” and think I’m a serial killer now.

Strike the earth!

In Hitchhikers’ Guide terms, it means we’ve finally advanced from
“How do we play games?” through
“Why do we play games?” and finally reached the enlightenment of
“Where shall we have lunch, and bicker about bullet points and commas?”

<waiting patiently with bandcamp open in another tab for a week now>
Very excited to hear this version!

Love this idea esp for any game referencing a CCG

Quick, while the Neopets people are busy dealing with their garbage fire and gamers are stoked for Into The Oddish

“It’s called having standards!”

And in perfect pbta fashion, the rules collapse back to the adage “make the game you want to play.” And if other people want to play them too, rad.

Posts about a Firefly announcement don’t make me want a Firefly revival,

…they make me want a Tales From The Wild Blue Yonder show that starts with Lady Blackbird and spins off into time-shifted series about industrial age heists / vampire millionaires / jedis vs demons

Goddamn pelican weather again

Opening a PDF in Affinity *often* lets you do this. You might lose some fonts, and you might have to manually Invert filter on some images… but it might be as straightforward as deleting a black background rectangle and flipping the font to black.

Screenshot of the no ice in Minnesota charity bundle on itchio that has raised $500,008

My heart is full of gratitude and there are still 20 days left of the bundle

Sure yeah sometimes it’s a “you got your chocolate in my peanut butter!” situation.
I’m not precious about it, I just turn away when someone* says “I haven’t played X, but I’m hacking it before we try it. I hated the last game even tho I hacked it too.”👀

Me watching my kid put ketchup on cereal:
“I’m not being a monster, I’m just asking you not to put ketchup on cereal because then you’re going to complain that cereal is icky. But it’s not going to make you sick so there’s only so much energy I’m going to invest in it.”

💡 Play Microscope until you add some real juicy bits, then Pendragon those.

Alright, it’s official—I’m blaming the D20 Glut on Ron Edwards’ Sorcerer

Oh the huge manatee!

Tones: Noir and Pulp?

I wrote a dire Life And Death intro paragraph for #SwordsWithoutMaster but the characters decided they were inspired by a detective and a malinois dog… so we skewed into Film Noir.

So now we have an inspector-reincarnated-as-cat and dog duo to explore the world with. 🤷‍♂️ I’m excited!
