Simon Barns of Red Ruin Publishing on how a Discord group grew into a powerhouse for Dragon Warriors adventures, solo gamebooks, and the long-running Casket of Fays zine. Read the full interview. #DragonWarriors

I'm so happy when people play the Cosmic Dark campaign. I think they're some of the best horror scenarios I've written.

Witness my terrible handwriting, doodles and character notes from a session of story game Gravity. Playing an awful techbro in a weird murder mystery for a sorceress dynasty. Lots of catty comments and billionare shenanigans. A good game that maybe need multiple sessions.

So, for the (very tiny) audience that I have on here, you may have noticed the extremely cool bundle I keep reposting things from: itch.io/b/3934/ttrpg... The TTRPG Collective put together this awesome set of stuff, and it's definitely one to go check out. #ttrpg

Hey folks. In total honesty my tour is NOT selling well. I’ve sold 30 tickets in a 400 seater in Birmingham, and not much more elsewhere. If you like musical comedy, if you like standup, then please come see my show! And spread the word! The Rachel Parris Songbook tour starts in Nov! Link in bio! 🎶

I believe today is the 5th anniversary of the original posting of this list

This adventure I wrote is live now on Kickstarter! It's got 88 pages, 2.5 dungeons, a big point crawl, and a town with some problemsssssss, baby. Look at that art! Look at those maps! Stay frosty!!!

The RuneQuest book I curated, Jonstown Voices, has reached Silver Best Seller status (>100 copies sold) in its first week, and raised over US$800 for the charity Médecins Sans Frontières. On their behalf, I'm really grateful to everyone who has bought a copy! tiny.cc/jc-jv

There's a new Dirk's Dossier available for Patreons. Featuring Nick Edwards talking about zines, the book club covering historical detectives and Dirk discussing RPG music with Blythy. www.patreon.com/theGROGNARDf...

Hope everyone who listens to it has a”Take it on the Run” noodling through their brains for the rest of their lives *evil laugh*

I've written a piece for the forthcoming debut issue of @playtestmaterial.bsky.social. You can get a sense of what is coming here! playtestmaterial.org/role-playing...

I’m up before dawn for travel, which means I can bug the lunchtime UK crowd: Do I know any game nerds with interests in 18th century (1660-1835) within shouting distance of Oxford (or willing to be for purposes of talking about their work for/with 18th century scholars?)

Excellent letter in The Times. "Greater hate hath no person than to accuse those who put their lives on the line for others of being traitors."

Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now

Honestly, a movement led by thugs & spivs that spends its time going after RNLI volunteers & the National Trust really should not be hard to effectively oppose, & I feel like I’m going fucking mad that for however long this horseshit has been going that that has somehow been an insurmountable bar

The fact something as fundamental and superb as the RNLI is a charity is one of the most magical and strange things about Britain. You can support them here. rnli.org/support-us/g...

No one complains more than this cunt lol www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Thumbing through this, I don't know if I should be proud or embarrassed that in 400+ pages of short histories of various TTRPGs, going from the 70s through 2020, outside of a handful of late release indie titles, I was already moderately to very familiar with every game discussed.

Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.

Thanks to @12sideddice.bsky.social and the latest issue of Torchbound … I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole.

love them or loathe them, there's one thing you can't deny about the Argentinian football team: they're a bunch of cunts

ICE agents chased out of Starbucks—citizens yell "We want coffee with no ice!" "ICE agents separate families," people shout. "You should be ashamed of yourself!" "You should not be comfortable going anywhere—you should not be able to sleep at night." These videos need to be made viral!!!

America should never be allowed to host anything other than Guns N Monster Trucks for Jesus rallies. Desperately shit country.

I’ve published a collection of six one-shots for Savage Worlds playable in an hour. Escape from xenomorphs, save Dame Judie Dench, stave off a bandit attack, thwart a supervillain bombplot, defend the Caves of Chaos and infiltrate Himmler’s occult train legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/5741...

400 masked cowardly Patriot Front bros walking through D.C. once, then fleeing ain’t shit, peeps. They are a tiny fetid drop in the American bucket. Remember Minneapolis at -20F. We are bigger, braver, and stronger. By a mile.

"Unionist paramilitaries want to be Irish and want Ireland back" might be perhaps the stupidest take on this situation possible.

Can't even run a 22-month stalking campaign any more, because of Woke.

a great chance to remind the world that at any time you can (& probably should) watch this & there's a good chance it'll massively improve your day I'm pretty sure the last 30 seconds are close to be being the most joyful burst of 90s culture to be broadcast on BBC1 at around 7pm to millions
