HEY! Did you know I’m currently Kickstarting Ballad Hunters with @pelgranepress.bsky.social, and it’s the best #TTRPG in history?*
*For the subset of RPGs that are about parsing the text of traditional English and Scottish ballads

We were busy in 2019! One of our special projects was an adaptation of @rosspayton.bsky.social 's chain-journal-writing game "Lovecraftian Narrator," which our founding member Aaron transformed into a voicemail recording game to fit the audio medium. It was incredible!

Currently listening to this interview with @fenrisgames.com on The Painting Phase, fascinating insight into his work #Nerdlings.

Corkboard investigation layout for Cörk Børd, featuring artefacts pinned with red string connections. Scattered dice, newspaper clippings about a missing girl and identified body, a central photo of a corpse labelled “NEXUS,” “KEY” markers on clues, QR codes, and CÖRK BÖRD game branding arranged on a wooden table.
I've been messing around creating cork boards for Cörk Børd.
Investigations start at a Nexus (often the murder scene, but sometimes the source of an instigating report). At least three branches spread out from there. Sometimes these point to a Key, from which two branches extend.

Happy birthday Ian!
I found some old notes for an rpg game using the characters and objects from Cluedo for Call of Cthulhu, where you start on the basic board but it gets weirder and more cosmic horror the further out the players go (randomly generated). Cthudo!
When we played Tomb of Horrors, the first session, they moved slowly and methodically, ten-foot-poling every corridor but eventually got their asses handed to them and retreated out to forward camp. The next IRL day they realized this dungeon doesn’t play nice and so neither should they.

This episode has the most movingly hopeful Nuance Window, probably my favourite of all the You're Dead To Me episodes.
A pensive reflection by @moudhy.bsky.social on what we can take from the Epic of Gilgamesh for today's world and our societies challenges.
Writing about Sanction, The Agency, running For A Rainy Day, and the simple spotlight-passing pleasures of the morning routine.

Did you know you could buy a digital copy of my book 'Weird Field World'?
It's a mix of world building, fiction, maps, illustrations, detailing a future where earth receives messages from the stars, which turn out to be instructions for building spaceships.

One of Setsubun's (節分) liveliest festivals takes place at the small temple of Rozan-ji.
At 3pm three oni (one red, one green, one black) appear before the main hall. Clasping flaming torches and mean-looking weapons, they begin to dance!
