My Mothership RPG adventure, The Black Box, is live on Kickstarter. Featuring illustration from @perjanke.bsky.social and Doggamia. Back the project here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

This shit fucking rips. Get in on it.

buying a funko pop is a lifelong commitment! they often live for decades, if not centuries, and they often outlive their owners

The Black Box, my first multi-session Mothership module, is now available to buy on itch! Explore Red Sands L&K, a remote compound responsible for story many of the galaxy's supernatural items. It comes with a custom soundtrack, if that sweetens the deal. martiancrossbow.itch.io/the-black-box

That's it I'm sick of indesign I'm buying affinity for my next module.

I sort of suspect that GMs and players don't need to be told this. I've never met an RPG player who was at all afraid to homebrew, hack, scrap or reinterpret. Whenever I'm designing I just assume that's something that will happen, I never waste my breath granting permission.

Everyone go play this fucking game.

Sorry it just occurred to me that there may be people who haven’t seen clip from the Quibi show where Rachel Brosnahan plays a woman dying because of her golden prosthetic arm and I needed to fix that

ah. i forget that when you do too much audio work in one day it corrodes your psyche. oops.

When I make my own website I'm tempted to have one that looks like this. But I think it's best to show off my typography skills in a more conventional way. More people should be making websites like this tho.

they're filming a jennifer's body sequel which means nothing else matters now. im quitting my career this is now a jennifer's body 2 updates account.

omggg there was a technical issue with my email all week that i thought was the registrar's fault but it was actually my fault. dozens of voice actors weren't able to email their auditions because of this. I eventually started accepting DMs so hopefully everyone got to submit anyway :(

why does pinterest feel so janky? was the website always this sluggish?

Solar eclipse coming up so here’s one of my favourite maps

Having a decent art budget is actually so freeing. I can start talking to people I've had my eye on for ages.

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky

critical role should have live musical accompaniment

using my email has been so much less awful since i got a more professional setup and started organizing it properly. i used to hate email so much.

I really hate the “I don’t owe anyone anything” mentality because we actually owe each other and this planet a lot. You don’t have to be selfless all the time or burn yourself out but you should be kind and helpful and compassionate to the best of your ability. We need to care about each other more

youtu.be/bCS-bB8mqCM?... Latest video by @txwatson.com is really quite good.

being a (video) gamer and an RPG designer is so stupid bc all your professional contacts have you on discord and they can see how much time you waste playing bad video games.

“Aww look how cute these kids are playing, that’s so wholesome!” Our lore while playing:

Someone once told me that bluesky attaches a "rude" label to some accounts and suppresses them algorithmically. Not sure if that's true but if so I need to become "rude" asap. I crave it.

This first bit about the culture warriors having no impact on reality once the movie was out, is what I mean when I say "I worry folks might make the mistake of thinking the internet is real." As in, the rpg flame wars don't have anything to do with your table. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV3L...

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar just out there cutting everything down to their essence.

Incredibly cool page from Time Without Tide. Gorgeous.

even the calculator on windows 11 is shitty. lmao.

Mothership people, I made a supplement for you! martiancrossbow.itch.io/stress-vents

Some Agent Portraits I recently painted for an Impossible Landscape campaign #deltagreen

They're here! Grab a physical copy of INFINITE REVOLUTION (with some minor external blemishes) for the lowest price I will probably ever offer them - $21 w INCLUDED SHIPPING to anywhere in the US, over 50% off retail. all proceeds go to medical care for my stupid disintegrated knee lol

time feels like its moving so slowly for me these days, but in a good way. is this what being busy feels like.

I don’t understand how people can run for office knowing they have insane baggage and/or crimes. Like I spent the entire campaign expecting AIPAC to somehow dig up my middle school livejournal fanfic account. I prepared my family for it. I’m still amazed it didn’t happen.

sophont game wishlist now. 200 on the horizon

I try my best to be a good listener to people who are bad at articulating themselves. You lose a lot of good ideas if you only pay attention to people who are good at speaking or good at writing.

As cool as it is to write a novella as a game, the more cool it is as a novella it comes at the expense of being a worse game.

New blog post about finding the right game for your RPG group. Also includes my understanding of why so many RPG groups are so committed to 5e. open.substack.com/pub/martianc...

Worked with some amazing people to make “Exit, Pursued By a Dream” - a 92 page #mothership anthology zine inspired by Over/Under. theember.itch.io/exit-pursued... Super happy with how the cover came out, had my tablet zoomed in to the max for most of it lol.

I'd love to write a Jubensha someday. I'll have to play a few first though!

Just watched episode 11 of The Pitt, the one with the ICE agents, and it genuinely made me feel furious and miserable. Those thugs are all going to hell and God will never forgive them.
