People over on Facebook/YouTube/elsewhere on bluesky/reality have been mocking this, but these are all totally genuine and highly advanced GMing techniques pioneered in obscure corners of indie rpg design in the early 2000s.
Let's go through them one by one and learn together.
Our new album is out today! A sincere request to help spread the word!
TTRPG with old-school "you can die in character creation" mechanics, except most terminal events are stuff like "reached adulthood with no major traumas" or "found a love of carpentry", so your goal is to make enough bad life choices that your character is a big enough loser to become an adventurer.
Wanna talk about #PsiRun2e and other #ttrpg or #PBTA stuff? Awesome! If you're looking for a guest on your podcast, or someone to interview for your article, DM me, we can chat.
Don't have a podcast or etc? Cool, let's talk here!!

Kids - one of the best boxed no-prep RPGs I’ve played. High quality components and a wonderfully unique way to story game. New people can jump in. Experienced RPGers will be blown away. Right up there with Alice is Missing for me. High praise

Realis—the debut TTRPG by @austinwalker.bsky.social—arrives this Wednesday, April 1 (no foolin') in a Kickstarter campaign that will run til the end of the month! Bookmark the pre-launch page today to get notified when it goes live: www.kickstarter.com/projects/cru... | featured art by @aurahack.ca
I do it occasionally, especially for smaller games I’m not familiar with vs ordering things. Sometimes?

2025 limited tone monster illustrations in grey scale with a deep red accent, an evolutionary line of mushroom wizards studies their art in. The first is a young apprentice with their nose in their books, the second a journeyman with robes flowing and staff raised, book in hand, and the third heavy with knowledge and growths, their tome tucked away.

The cover for WE'RE HERE 2024. An illustration (in watercolor) of an earth-toned wild hunt tapestry with muted rainbow-y accents being looked at by a trio of rad queer people in a museum-esque framing
A watercolor painting in moody grey-greens, rich indigo, and magenta. It depicts a fae hunting party riding through a smoky moonlit forest towards an eerie red lake. The hunters ride deer-like creatures, and are accompanied by stark white hounds with red heads and long ears. A host of small green glowing pixies trail along.
A watercolor painting of an anthropomorphic black bear in monks robes, doing a gay little illumination of him and his secret deer bf having a clandestine meeting in the woods. The illustration is bordered by medieval-style vines in a rainbow gradient arching above him.
A watercolor painting featuring an anthropomorphic rooster captain at the helm of a ship. Beyond him is a map and a little inset seascape.
Today is my birthday! Here's some art I really enjoyed doing. Pass it around?
(Also if you see this and have any illustration needs, my summer workload is currently below capacity, so feel free to get in touch🖤)
still really want to expand on this series
It is quite telling that since the horrific story of Cesar Chavez re: sexual abuse broke earlier this week and calls to change the names of schools and other public spaces named in his honor, not one conservative voice has stepped forward to object that this would be tantamount to erasing history.
My fav thing about this is not knowing of which hand they speak.
SPACE MARINES! The Angels of Death, They Who Know No Fear, the Emperor’s Own. The ASTARTES. You are no Astartes. But you are close—you are a VILLEIN, part of an Astartes Chapter's fief. This alone, the catechisms teach, puts you above the common throng of humanity. To SERVE is your blessing and life’s duty.
CHAPTER SERF:
A Warhammer 40K fan roleplaying game where you play the lowly freaks that serve the Space Marines: light their candles, polish their bolters, launder their loincloths-

The #SaveAct has not gone away. In fact, yam tits says passing it supersedes *everything else*.
Because it's not about election integrity, but about election control.
Yes, we have a billion things to worry about, but don't stop calling your MoC about this one.

West coast friends missing Big Bad Con, Go Play is the only other con I’ve been to with similar values and spirit. It’s a small event that punches up up up. Buy a membership so we can play games together in Seattle this July goplaynw.org/membership-d...
One of my favorite indie cons. I hope to go each year. Hoping to go this year as well.
Go Play NW Membership Drive 2026. February 13th through March 20th. $6,800 raised of $12,000 (USD) goal. 56% of goal. 45 memberships. 6 days left. Current goals: Base funding for GPNW Seattle Summer at $12,000! Help us make our in-person event happen!
Real talk: there is a very real likelihood that Go Play NW can't happen this year
Less than a week left in our Membership Drive, aka early ticket sales and raising money to hold the event, and we're just over halfway to making our *base* goal. If we can't hit that goal, we can't pay for the venue
Any president promising to ensure their party "will win every election for a long time” is trying to rig upcoming elections. #ProtectVotingRights Call your electeds 202-224-3121 & tell them to BLOCK the #SaveAct which will disenfranchise millions of Americans from #GOTV

#TransRightsAreWomensRights #TransRightsAreHumanRights & I’m so often trembling with rage that this even needs to be said. Any person who has ever said trans & non-binary people don’t have Every Single Right that cis people do can get chronic UTIs RightTFNow. You wanted this to be about pee, right?
Just checked the bank account before heading to the grocery and oooooooof. A payment we thought wouldn't come out did, in fact, come out and there's basically a crater there now.
If you can spare some $$, we'd really appreciate it.
