The opening paragraph really reads like a thing some cis people do where they’re not sure if you’re trans or what kind of trans you are so they’re fishing for a way to offend you

I'm Bramble, a storyteller from Wales. I've been writing and recording short stories from my Raven & Bear collection to put on Youtube so people can listen to them for free. There's three uploaded already with more on the way soon. Links below.

I still think the 3 games of this I ran (1 long form, 2 one shots) are some of my favorite ttrpg experiences. I want to run more when I can find more time and the right players

Highly recommend checking it out if you get a chance!

Today is the 2 year anniversary of Pacific Drive's release. I'm also in the thick of refining my GDC talk about it, which I was meant to give last year before I needed emergency surgery, so it's been on my mind a lot lately. Here's a long 🧵.

A short person with brown hair and green eyes dressed in a big coat is holding cards, a black cat with orange eyes sits in front of them.

A short person with brown hair and green eyes dressed in a big coat is holding cards, a black cat with orange eyes sits in front of them.

Thought I'd share a PC I'm considering for future pathfinder games because the concept is really cool. This is Thicket, a conjuration wizard who summons magic beasts they've rescued from poachers. Her familiar was named Nimbus by my gf. And before you ask, yes their cards are a Wizards101 reference!

The nicest I've got so far has to be from @danfbispo.bsky.social who has been liking and sharing my work very consistently. It was around then he gave some glowing praise of my stories. I don't feel worthy of it but it was immensely encouraging.

Going to record Caer y Môn soon, so it would be cool if you watched the other videos and left comments or liked them! 🥰

Y'all need to catch up so we can listen to this story together. 🥺🎙️🏰

Also, they're free on my youtube channel! Free stuff! 🎺

So, my third short story in #Raven+Bear hints at this. In Caer y Môn we learn the knights of Branwen live on the same island as a cult of druids. This group tests those who intends to live on Dywyll, exiling those who fail. Please ask stuff!

I'm doing a thing for #Raven+Bear which I recommend to other writers because its fun. I asked people I know for story ideas then challenged myself to fit them in.

I'm afraid #Raven+Bear doesn't really get too deep into the science of things. They're short stories so I don't often think too hard about it, but hey, maybe I'll do a parasitic monster soon. If you want my silly / political answer, I'd call England a parasitic entity.

This #WIPSnips fits very well. In a world where we're often told duty is a defiance of love, I wanted to give a different message. This excerpt is from my short story Caer y Môn, third in the #Raven+Bear collection.

If you've listened to this I need a favour. I'd like help finding a bigger audience. If people quoted this post saying something they enjoyed about the story or liked/commented on the video itself I'd be so grateful. Having a hard time rn.

Alrighty I have read some of The Infinite Sadness.

I'm going to give this a 4/5 ⭐!

Early chapters have flaws, however the quality improves greatly by Chapter 9. The characters were engaging with a clear perspective throughout. It's not for me personally, but I think people will have fun with this!

This is a really great video. it really shows how awful Jubilee is and about the fascists who've been on Jubilee and how they try to use the platform it gives them to try to make money gain notoriety and to spread their 'beliefs'

The foreground of the cover. The top half reads "The Eiden Heresy" in capital letters. This title is centred, with one word per line. Beneath it is an image of balance scales which weigh two symbols. The scales are ornate and made from a dark metal, thin chains hold each measuring dish. A golden eye with a single teardrop beneath it hovers over the left dish. Four silver diamonds arranged so a lattice is formed by the space around them hovers over the right dish. Beneath these, the pen-name "Bramble" is written in capital letters. All text for the cover is white.

The background of the cover shows a bridge and various buildings beyond it. Lamps are positioned along low walls on either side of the bridge and are brightly lit. There is also a singular statue along the left wall. Though obscured by the right dish in the foreground, two people walking on the bridge can be seen with their backs to the viewer. Beyond that bridge, there are several silhouetted buildings which gradually fade the further from the bridge they are. The background only consists of different shades of blue, with snow falling across the image of the bridge and city behind it.

I believe this POV and perception has done more damage to fighting games on a design level than anything else. It creates a very homogeneous genre where if you’re not about big combo strings that create unskippable cutscenes out of rhythm based gameplay, then you won’t like fighting games.
