In celebration of my continued unemployment, I've put the remaining stock of my print books and zines up on gumroad! I might do some reprints if there's interest, but right now I just need to turn these books in my closet into dollars for my landlord. majcher.gumroad.com

PHP, lol

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

This week in Plasmodics, we rescue Boudica's crew, reprogram Billy Boy to FORSAKE its cop job, take care of some housekeeping in the Flotilla, accidentally usher in King Tide's preamble with a strange artifact, and start following a beautiful man back to his skin care bunker. youtu.be/lMb_YJZOHfA

Opening up a short playtest of Eyes Only—if you're not on the Open Hearth, now's a great time to join! app.playabl.io/games/2299/o...

This Sunday at 6 PM Eastern, tune in for an epic and Surreal gig-economy tower crawl. It's the AP debut of ULTRADELVE from Stillfleet Studio and Plus One Exp! Watch us live-draw an alien Structure for our Delvers to explore for cash… twitch.tv/TonyPlusOne

Yessss it's spooky lake month again, and ... *checks notes* ... we're not gonna make it, are we? www.instagram.com/reel/Dekn0Xs...

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

happy anita bryant pie day

This week in Plasmodics we meet a beautiful robot boy, negotiate the Flotilla, navigate to a semi-flooded office building in the Brack, keep a little frog dude from expiring, and engage in a sudden, ill-adivsed combat with a malfunctioning (except for the guns) security robot. youtu.be/jIRhPS4c3XE

They're going to kill us all to build a beach resort.

There's no way I can get a workable draft of my Golden Cobra entry this year ready in time to submit it, given everything else, but I'm grateful for the little bump of inspiration it gave me.

It should not take half an hour to do a 'brew install ruby'.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Tonight in RPGs: Illustrating Lines and Veils (veils specifically) with Johnny Dangerously. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLcf...

This week in our inaugural game of Plasmodics, we make a whole bunch of little freaks and send them off to find a screwdriver. I'm sure everything is going to go just fine. www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8NQ...

Had a fantastic time at the Jerry's Map workshop at the Grand Rapids Art Museum today—we drew and collaged our own panels and assembled them together, people showed off their own maps and decks, and got to chat a lot with Jerry and Meg, who are just the best people. I need more of this in my life.

This week in the finale of Electric Bastionland, we meet up with an old gondolier buddy, pay off our debts to Deb Worldkiller and receive her boons, and epilogue our way out of this twisted city. (Keep an eye out for the Strait Borough coming to an itch near you!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQwv...

Ironically, this is probably the best way to get me to draw stuff. #ODD

This week in Electric Bastionland we explore the Steel Fingers of Progress, free an idle soul, wrangle with the Innovators Union, exterminate an alien-corrupted lobster/roach, and get an ominous reminder from Deb Worldkiller that there are fates worse than death for deadbeats. youtu.be/rIL6NCfmeKE

2 things, in ascending order of importance: 1) Polls are Possibility but they don't vote; don't stop working. 2) El-Sayed has Massive support in a mid-west rust-belt state while vocally supporting transgender kids & adults/directly Dismissing claims that trans people are "dangerous." Learn from that

Two new goodies up on IPR: the first of six megazungeon zines, and the Roguelike Tarot! www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Veins-... www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Roguel...

Finally getting around to reading Le Mort d'Arthur, and... Arthur is the bad guy, right?

A clearly written, well-documented explanation of why a) "AI" still sucks, but b) not because it's an existential threat, but because it lets more stupid people do more bad things. pluralistic.net/2026/09/12/g...

Dear Obsidian homies: Just say "index". That's literally the word we already have for "map of content" that everybody already knows.

Last four games played: - Electric Bastionland (conductor) - ̶M̶o̶n̶s̶t̶e̶r̶ Bounty of the Week (Weequay scoundrel) - Blades in the Dark (basically Ollie from Saltburn) - Wolves Upon the Coast (hapless fisherboy)

I feel like I could make some pretty sick puppets.

This week in Electric Bastionland we make some extradimensional content, avoid alien fatcats and electric lizards, have a spa day at a new age resort, sell some loot and nastiness, and pick up a new buddy who is trying hard to forget his family in the elevated rail industry. youtu.be/UiMQ8Z196Mw

Did you know that "yard" and "garden" share linguistic roots? Anyway, here's a bunch of ̶w̶e̶e̶d̶s̶ chicory that I just harvested from my tiny front yard that are going to get roasted and ground up into delicious not-coffee.

Blumineck lo ha vuelto a hacer 🥹 le aplaudo hasta que se me caigan las manos, bravo. "Be masculine, be feminine, be neither, or be both. But be kind."

We were on our way to the laundromat this morning and passed by a house around the corner from us with a handmade sign on it that said "Birthplace of Diana Ross" and we were like, sick hustle, bro. But then we googled it, and sure enough! (It's right around the corner from Doctor Detroit auto shop)

Quick check in on the selection of indie RPGs at Mind Games - noticed some from @seaexcursion.itch.io @adambell.games @curiouscat.bsky.social @moreblueberries.bsky.social @paulczege.bsky.social @comemartin.bsky.social @majcher.bsky.social @goblinmixtape.bsky.social @deepdark.games and more

a coalition stands together, that's how it generates and wields power in the political arena. on top of being basic human decency, standing up for trans people is politically expedient.

Finally getting around to watching the first few episodes of Game Changer, and I'm starting to fear that my game design brain has ruined fun for me forever.

This week in Electric Bastionland, Syndy and Dent finish what the others started last time, Ironchild is infected with the remnants of a murderous black iron spine, Clancy pulls a disgusting treasure from the well, and ZRX-4 discovers their candy-coated immortality. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JOa...

I have a ton of board games, and I'm looking to unload a bunch both because I'm broke and because we're moving soon, and. I guess games are just really expensive these days? I was looking at the replacement cost for like, my unopened copy of Root that I bought for $40 in 2019 and it's $60 now? Huh.

Welp, there’s the power out. Detroit!

I am bummed that the place we live now—which is smaller than our previous place—does not have a table or other surface on which to play games. I am double bummed that the next place we will live—which will be even smaller than this one—most likely will not, either. (Hobbies? In this economy? 😂😢😭)

This week in Electric Bastionland we start spiking Ironchild back into control of the Goragath despite froggy fixer dissuasions, get a couple of stabby scars, get a demon face to annihilate itself, and THERE WAS A FIREFIGHT in "jabba the cat"'s alien forge. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JzA...

Okay, Starfolk is for real for real done—I ordered a proof copy from Mixam and did my final run-through, so those should be available through IPR within a few weeks... in the meantime, feel free to grab community copies (or holler if they run out)! majcher.itch.io/starfolk

This week in Electric Bastionland we basked in the radiance of a pair of icy a̶n̶g̶e̶l̶s̶ aliens, dodged an exotic Masterphager festival, and crossed the Strait to the Goragath, dealing with froggy fixers and the ship... computer? Ironchild, causing absolutely no havok at all. youtu.be/ClNkrsMQ9TY

I know folks in NYC, but I'm not sure who's around on Long Island these days... We'll be in Stony Brook till the end of the week, so it'll be nice to have some toodling time there.

Went through and made a whole bunch of my older games PWYW, so have at it. majcher.itch.io

Friends who make and sell games: - Do you have a "sell sheet" that you send to folks? - Do you have one for each game, or one for all your games? - Do you ever send them to folks physically, or just digitally? - Do you refer specifically to a distributor or your site, or just general contact info?
