Frieren.... You don't understand. Those of us with short lives, we find entertainment in the little things. You see, that's why I get so excited when the Halo announcer says "killtacular"....

my cover for TEN THOUSAND DAYS FOR THE SWORD the cyberpunk wuxia ttrpg by @dragonfucker69.bsky.social
Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning" Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care? Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was “to each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing? Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking. 🤷🏽‍♂️"
Appreciate former Sugreon General Jerome Adams pushing back on anti-mask sentiment on Twitter/X

At the bottom in dark ink says "First Summer 'X6" with an edit in reddish-pink ink insertng "long" between First and Summer. Knilly's handle is scribbled in the corner.

The cover of PASHA THE STORM showing the main character, Pasha, an older woman with gray curly hair, a layered outfit, and a long gun in her hand as she falls into the ocean. She controls magic in her left hand, and three water-dogs surround her.
in case you haven't seen the cover of PASHA THE STORM we've got a butchy older lesbian with tattoos, a gun, and magic so you have NOTHING to complain about!!

Cult of the Crow by Levees. A black and white illustration of a crow looking into an aged mirror, the bird has no reflection. Behind the bird stand two melted candle sticks, one is burning, the other is smoking- snuffed out.
My partner made some new music, and I made them some art to go with it!
Go give it a listen leveesfolk.bandcamp.com/album/cult-o...
Y'all I'm FREAKING OUT.
I wrote a game for two players about wanting to fuck each other so bad you save the world from fascism about it.
Caro's art perfectly encapsulates the game and I have been itching so bad to be able to share it
Please go pre save the campaign for this one PLEASE

Something I've been quite enjoying as I finish up 2025 is developmental editing. So if you're looking for a developmental editor in 2026 for a game... FUCKING PAY ME LET ME BE YOUR SICKO FOR THIS HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME
Everytime your parents compare you to a cousin throw out one of their expired condiments.

2 points for every time they say “I know we have some!”.

I'm bringing three interesting new tabletop rpgs about the end of the world. They play great standalone, or pair nicely as a three part apocalyptic anthology.

Person on Threads asks for help pronouncing my last name. My reply: The reason there are like eight different pronunciations of Nguyễn proffered to English speakers is because there are several sounds we know they can’t really hear, let alone repeat. So most of us kinda cobble together sounds we know they can make.
The Nguyá»…n pronunciation question!
My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
As always, Aaron does great, vital, interesting work. I started playing RPGs in 2010, so it’s really nice to chart my own experience and slice of the hobby along with this video, and great to see Session Zero here as it was a really crucial turning point for me. Playtest Zero was born there!
I RELEASED A NEW TTRPG!! it's very silly & full of jewish shitposting!!
