I'm typing the word 'loop' so many times while working on this game that I think my eyes are going to start spinning in my head like a slot machine. It's gone so far beyond not looking like a word that it's starting to take on arcane properties. The screen glows with a dark light everywhere it is.

Shame cannot stand before the forces of P A N I C.

The cover of Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage: a shattered giant robot floats through the void among debris, towards a distant star. A Silver Bestseller badge has been placed on the cover as well.

The cover of Tales from the Cockpit - a damage mecha lays abandoned against rubble as two small figures attempt to salvage it; glowing light emanates from the open cockpit as one climbs up towards it, with a similar glow from a laptop placed on the mecha's leg as the other figure works on it. A Silver Bestseller medal has been placed on he cover as well.

The cover of The Cog That Remains: in the background a mecha stands in its berth, one arm stripped of its armor with the parts exposed. In the foreground a mechanic with a tired look on her face and closed eyes sits, taking a break with a drink and a smoke.

Is this thing back on?

The Road is the Enemy by Five Points Games A game of myths, the hostile road, and the Gods who demand pilgrimage along it.

Hey, this is real damn sweet of you.

The Road is the Enemy is a TTRPG about story telling, mythology, and hostility of the natural world. At its center is a "talking stick" mechanic to evoke fireside storytelling vibes where all parties can be the GM.

$40,000+ raised! Just a little more to go to hit $50,000 for our charities!!!

I did the 9:1 thing for a while, and other than being forced and feeling spammy I'd still get dinged anyway. And downvoted. And that was years ago! I went and found the new 'rules', and it's basically penciling in an 11 on the 'Self-Promo Sux' dial and then somehow cranking the dial to 12.

Wait, there are rules? Instead of self-promo being absolutely despised and impossible to do without being downvoted into the shadow realm?

A Glimpse Into the Vault: Esoteric Ebb Video games owe a lot to tabletop roleplaying games, with mechanics, terminology, and tropes all being borrowed during the 1980s and 1990s. For obvious reasons, though, the two media drifted, and even video games calling themselves roleplaying games have little to do with their forbears, given both the capabilities of digital games in terms of graphics and gameplay as well as their limitations in terms of breadth and story.

Hey @warren.senate.gov why is Markey on here without you? Get after it already.

Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Want to create a solo or duet TTRPG but don't have the art skills for a cover? Give this game jam a look, maybe it'll spark some ideas...

Crowdfunding Carnival: April, 2026 Welcome to the Crowdfunding Carnival for April! It’s spring now, which means I’m spending more time outside riding my bike and less time writing. That’s why this post is going up on a Thursday! Okay, that’s…not entirely true (it’s also not entirely false). The post is going up on a Thursday also because I didn’t want to post on April Fool’s Day.
