Today is my birthday and I'd love if people would share my artwork 🥰🖤

_PbtA to Z_ is a collection of Powered-by-the-Apocalypse moves. I wrote it for the _Making Moves_ jam, and just released it for free. It's here on my website, which also links to Itch, RPG Trader, and (soon) DriveThruRPG. games.natknight.xyz/pbta-to-z/

I need to talk about Sen̓áḵw. This word has been in the news for years, and I still hear it mispronounced constantly—by journalists, politicians, and well-meaning people who just haven't been shown how. It's a word from the Squamish Language. Let me walk you through it. 🧵

You can get a good look at What Should We Have Tomorrow?'s (award-winning) graphic design on ehronlime.itch.io/what-should-..., and also get physical copies (including our cute sticker sets) at @heartofthedeernicorn.com, @ipr.bsky.social and @iglootree.bsky.social!

Today is my birthday 🌱 I will be grateful for the repost ~

Extremely good stuff from melos here as always, especially this (which is amplified by 100x in the TTRPG world for reasons I cannot discern but nevertheless see)

I do not think a ttrpg needs to be replayable to be worth your time and interest

Just published: Authotheraputic Containment Protocol! You've attracted the attention of a demon, an immaterial being of spite and malice who wants to ruin your life. Luckily, you can do magic. PWYW on Itch natknight.itch.io/acp #rpg #lyricgame #Sologame

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.

Graham and I had a real good time talking about horror, romance, and precious slices of rpg history

I had a wonderful conversation with @helloalexroberts.bsky.social on Ben Riggs' podcast. We talked about games that are starting to disappear from memory: Ben Lehman's Polaris, Stuart Chaplin's many games, Julia Ellingboe's Steal Away Jordan, plus the many that didn't make it out of playtest.

Advent of Code in Unison, Day 7 share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... This was _much_ smoother than day 6 for me. The solid block of characters made for an easy parser and the data structure I used for part 1 transitioned nicely into part 2. #unisonlang #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

Advent of Code in Unison, Day 6 I made bad choices (or got unlucky) with my parser for this one and had to re-work it substantially for part 2, which is a shame because the parsing is the hard part on this one. share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... #unisonlang #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

Advent of Code in Unison, Day 4! share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... Grid based puzzles are always a good time. My favourite trick for these is to use an associative data structure for the board instead of a nested array. #unisonlang #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

Remember a week ago, when I went on a tear about the value of written documents? This is part of what I mean. This book has MASSES to tell about teachers, students, education, mental health, corporal punishment, etc. Who's printing out & keeping forever the digital records on their school's actions?

Day03 of Advent of Code: the return of Joltage! share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... A few hurdles dealing with List functions, but otherwise a pretty straightforward puzzle. #unisonlang #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

Another day, another Advent of Code puzzle. share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... Nothing terribly complicated here, though I did use streams instead of lists to avoid blowing up memory. #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

Day 1 of Advent of Code in Unison down! share.unison-lang.org/@nathanielkn... I feel like there might be a more elegant solution to Part2, but it's late and I'm biking both kids to school tomorrow, so this'll have to do for now. #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison

It's Advent of Code trim again and I'm getting ready! natknight.xyz/preparing-fo... #adventofcode #adventofcodeunison #unison

I wrote some backdrops for _Dialect_! natknight.itch.io/dialect-back... There's a price on them so that I have something to contribute to fundraising bundles, but if that sounds like your kind of thing please grab a community copy. ❤️ #ttrpgs #language #thornygames

I made something for the Pope Game Jam! Catty Cardinals is a game of traditional values, veiled accusations, and conspiracy set in the college of cardinals. PWYW on Itch: natknight.itch.io/catty-cardin... #ttrpg #pope #gamejam
