What's the best time to launch a blog? 10:16pm EST on a Wednesday night? No? Damn, alright. deldon.bearblog.dev/2026-year-st...

Super Mario Bros (1993) is the cozycore gateway drug to Mothership

Fuck it, #Over/Under changed a lot of people's lives, including mine. Did you meet friends you still talk to a year on? Did O/U inspire you to start publishing material for games? Did O/U turn you gay? Answer my poll and I'll throw the results up in a sappy post in a week forms.gle/z6UvZVmBsCbE...

A fullly-illustrated hex-map for a #Cataphract game. I was given free rein to add all sorts of weird points-of-interest throughout the map, so we've got all sorts of weird ruins, caves, giant birds, monster habitats, colossal fertility statues, and oversized vegetables.

Oh we're off to an incredible start already.

My Appendix N Jam entry, inspired heavily by my time running Operations for Vanguard! As soon as I saw Kahyangan I knew what I had to do. Written for Kala Mandala by @munkao.bsky.social of course! deldon.itch.io/kahyangan

This is vile and reading it raised my blood pressure to an uncomfortable rate. 10/10 excellent catharsis.

elmcat with another banger. I'm hoping for more discussion on this topic in the coming months. Onboarding is very far from a solved problem in TTRPGs but there are plenty of game spaces where it is not. Time to take notes.

I've been waiting a while to hear Sam's full designer brain thoughts on what he experienced in O/U and this did not disappoint at all! A lot to digest and overall a really great talk. (also I'm impressed by the accuracy of a 45 minute lecture here haha)

You didn't name the game that just for a dumb joke, did you? Me: youtu.be/XOQBu7GN7sU

BLACKOUT is my first module for Mothership, taking your crew underground to restore a colony power supply, and finding some unexpected things... Featuring art by @emo-sludge.com pointlessmonument.itch.io/blackout

Oh dear, @lukegearing.bsky.social, brother look! It would appear the ants have begun some sort of crisis! Incredible! Look at how fervently they protect their dirt. #baselinedrift

My little ants. Look at how they move their dirt around. Don't they know it's worthless? #baselinedrift

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN GAMERS! #O/U #Over/Under #MothershipRPG So proud to be able to say I was able to contribute a few tables for this Charity Zine about our time living on a space station for what felt like a lifetime. Please support this release and know that your donations go to a good Cause.

The biggest project I've been working on in 2026 is this behemoth anthology. Everyone on the team absolutely knocked it out of the park! Every #mothership game set on The Dream can take something from this, it's so much more than a love letter to #over/under! Adventures, NPCs, fiction, art and more.

Join this so that @lukegearing.bsky.social and I can observe you like an ant farm as The Lockwoods.

The deep dive into the burgeoning #cataphracts community has been really neat! Being a part of one of, if not the largest referee team for Vanguard has led to some really fun discussions on how the community is developing. All of which can be summed up in this exchange.

#OVER/UNDER obsession got so far, I'm doing a university project about it. If everyone who participated could fill out this really cool questionnaire, it'd be so amazing :)) forms.gle/h5D2motTcDcD...

I'm pleased to announce that my #Mothership Trifold d0c's Cyberclinic is now available! As players of #OVER/UNDER may remember, the Clinic is the finest medical-adjacent facility of Prospero's Dream that you can now add to your campaign! Order at www.tuesdayknightgames.com/products/d0c...

Every time I want to post or blog about what's going on in the games I'm playing or running I can't. The true burden of the Cataphract deep dive.

A bit of hype building after the test prints have come in Available soon™️ #over/under #mothership #o/u

Mythic Bastionphracts. I know I'm not the only one that's thought of it.

Starting some playtesting today for a friend @juniperhl.bsky.social

Ahhhhhhh!! @evlynmoreau.bsky.social I love her 🥺

there's only a handful of folks out there doing puzzle dungeons and directsun's one of the first and best!

Millie was a foundational element of fostering the community in #over/under and it should come with no surprise that the person behind her is even better at it. Maya's been in a rough spot for far too long, and still has been spending most of that time looking out for others. If you can, please help

Found this while looking through an old project folder. Still hasn't expired-

@possibleworlds.bsky.social New addition to the 5am shift work hat.

Watching all of the commanders in #Vanguard get their last minute orders in before the game starts: 🍿

I wrote a game in ~8 hours. It's not fun, but it exists. Experience being a young person in the alt-right pipeline, and what it's like getting out of it. Content warnings listed on the page. ambynavy.itch.io/black-ice

repost for the reasonable crowd that expects new things to crop up in the AM and not right before bed.

A Malay saying goes: "Siapa makan cili dia rasa pedas." Literally: "Whoever's eaten chilli feels the spice." This describes those people who get *very angry* when you make a general criticism, because in their hearts they know they are guilty of exactly what you said.

y'all we have been *cooking* over the month of December.

June's outpout is probably the biggest inspiration for getting my own designs back on the rails. Excited to see what 2026 has in store, for myself and of course, for DQ&D

YOU CAN DO IT TOO: IT IS TRIVALLY EASY. COME PLAY IN THE SPACE HOGS. itch.io/jam/old-scan...

A gift, for the festive season, my first ever an OSR. You can tell its an OSR because its made entirely out of offcuts from B2 The Keep on the Borderlands. Its compatible with many games and also incompatible with at least 3, probably. juniperc.itch.io/bn-2-the-kee...

So far Cataphract has been a lot like playing Strip Poker but trying to get everyone's money. No one can keep their poker face once the top comes off. #vanitera450

In a very special Bonus Episode of Between Two Cairns, @bradkerr.net and I interview @samsorensen.bsky.social about Over/Under, a massive wargame/LARP held during Mothership Month. This episode is only available to Patrons but will see a wider release in the future. www.patreon.com/posts/story-...

Out now: WHALE ROADS The chronicle of a year-long, 30+ player West Marches campaign of Wolves Upon the Coast by @lukegearing.bsky.social A 250-page "zine" filled with play summaries, original art, and Referee commentary. Available now, and it's 100% completely free. sulcata.itch.io/whale-roads

@juniper-c.bsky.social surely this counts as an OSR right?
