Everyday is a new horror - in being self publisher. Shipping is becoming a headache for everyone (except the corporate carriers who must be pissing themselves laughing). So Horse Shark Games is announcing a coupon code SHIPPINGSUX Use it at HSK Online Store horsesharkgames.com/store to save 10%

Would you look at that! Such a pleasant surprise to see Viral and both @budsrpgreview.bsky.social and @gothnog.bsky.social referenced in the new Encyclopedia Cthulhiana. 😊

Bluesky has four kinds of users

Michael is being too generous for crediting me with a crazy idea I shouted from the cheap seats during what I recall was an irresponsible caffeine haze. 😅 It’s all his talent and craftsmanship that make this and his other DCC tools shine. All @goodmangames.bsky.social fans should check out his site!

At least there is one thing consistent in my life. 😏

“How did you get into TTRPGs?” In 2nd grade, I spotted a friend reading Return to Brookmere on the playground. Curious, I asked about it, and he let me borrow it. A week later, he asked for it back. I lied and said I’d lost it. And that’s how I got into petty larceny. Wait, what was the question?

I’m sure some Handlers can relate. 😅

Hazy Over 50 memory of my first 5 RPGs 1. Oubliettes & Ostentatious Reptiles (Chartreuse Box) 2. Petroleum Fantasy Oil-Playing Game 3. Gramma World 4. WKRP 5. Pop Secret/L.S. (Low Salt)

Show me your Flashback Friday 1994. Keeping the 90’s longish, floppy hair thread going.

What I love about this episode is how every scene they discuss pushes Scott closer to despair, while Eleanor, completely unfazed by his growing exasperation, cheerfully declares yet another of her favorite moments from the movie. It’s fantastic. 😂 #teamMoM

Just heard a line that very much describes me and several people that I know: “Spreading positivity through a constant stream of profanity.” 😅

Tonight’s Traveller: While scooping fuel at a gas giant, our sensors picked up a ship deep in the atmosphere. I gave my psi skill a go to see if I could detect life. I did, but also felt something within the gas giant that touched back. 😳 Needless to say, we GTFO before shit went Stephen King.

Notes on Moving Your Elderly Father In #257: Watching his mind short circuit and world view melt down while trying to comprehend the potential nationwide economic fallout due to people of all ages calling in sick to play GTA 6 on it’s release was far more entertaining than it had any right to be.

After another hiatus, we returned to the 3.5 game with my son and friends. Tonight’s session answered the age old question of how many adventurers does it take to grapple and hog tie a white dragon wyrmling? Four. The answer is four, not counting the frozen and very much dead kobold.

Diminish an anime… Super Dimension Fortress McDonalds

Call of Cthulhu Over Coffee Thoughts: Go listen to or read the lyrics to Sting’s Fortress Around Your Heart and imagine he's singing about Carcosa. Suddenly, the song paints a very different picture.

Those of you with color blindness, especially protanopia, will immediately understand why I had to do a double take when scrolling past this add. 👀😅

My daughter’s latest shirt she painted for a friend. It took me a moment, but it is Wybie from Coraline.

Drop some computers

Post a random line from your GM or player notes. No context. No explanations. #ttrpg "If you were ever going to get a beetle stuck up your butt, now is the time."

A long day today, so going to chill out with a bit of RPG history reading before bed.

An absolute coincidence, but watching Seth’s new review this morning, and cool to the shirt I gave him at ChaosiumCon. You may think it is a just a joke, but it has been scientifically tested and proven over a years long detailed process. 😅

"You can't hear GIFs." Me:

T-Shirts are my love language at conventions. I will often make my own just for fun and also to give away as gifts for friends. Here are couple recents, including a few that take the piss. Well, most of them do actually. 😅

Last night’s Impossible Landscapes session with @discourseminis.bsky.social @sskorkowsky.bsky.social @sdorward.bsky.social and @jaredlogan.bsky.social ended with the cliffhanger results of Agent Moist deciding to recon a location solo. Unfortunately, texting under pressure may not be his forte.

It’s time for Yet Another Completely Unprofessional Unboxing as I ramble about in the mist with Fatherfog, a fairytale horror TTRPG from the creators of Mothership. Come take a peek at what lurks inside. I’m sure that happily ever after is practically guaranteed. 😜🤘 youtu.be/JdFIbWZjsVk

I gave you life! You WILL laugh at my anachronistic joke, dammit!

I’ve been so busy these past few weeks that I haven’t had a chance to sit down and enjoy an RPG book at my leisure. But on this rainy Sunday evening, I finally get to settle in and dive into this. 🗡️👑

Good lord! The starving RPG artist epidemic on Discord has gotten so bad that they are all reduced to sending the exact same unsolicited DM begging for commissions. These poor bots can’t even afford their own boilerplate anymore. Truly heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers.

My daughter’s WIP for her art class. Slight unintentional Margaret Keane vibe going on. 👀🎨

I am well aware it is fleeting, but it still amazes me how some live music beneath a night sky can revive a little faith in humanity, even when the general state of everything is absolute shite.

A little Hermanos Gutiérrez soundscapes before Jack Johnson comes on. 🤘🏻😊

What happened in last night’s Traveller game? Well, I’ll just drop this here and see if it can speak for itself: 😏

It's here! Our annual memorial game for Bud, so naturally we played the Toon Olympics. We revisit his review, unleash cartoon chaos, and lord have mercy, attempt our first long form AP edit. Part One is up. Bud forgive us. 😅 Listen here or your favorite podcatcher: open.spotify.com/episode/2fWv...

Tried out a new recipe for a grilled tri-tip and even I am impressed with how well they turned out. 😋

If you see this, post a vampire that isn’t Dracula.

I was today years old when I learned that Wang Chung sang “We were cool on craze” and not “We were cool on Christ” in Dance Hall Days. And here I thought is was about Christians cutting a rug.

I have no son! Woke up to find the best part of a Drumstick left uneaten on the counter. 😱 Where did I go wrong as a parent? Oh, the shame! The shame of it all!

"How did you get into ttrpgs?" I answered a PennySaver ad for what I thought was a BDSM meetup.

I appreciate the spoiler warning, but I’m not going to stop listening or skip ahead. You can have my views and listens. As an adult, I have this odd talent for compartmentalizing what I know from what my character knows and playing the game as it unfolds. Almost like I’m roleplaying or something. 😉

Podcasters, where do you go for any sort of sound effects besides free sites like Pixabay and what not? Not looking to break the bank but some sort of subscription site or sfx packs? Much appreciated. 😊

Can we see that poster board again? You just flashed it and then took it down and we’d like to see how you came to these accusations.

My hat’s off and a reverent bow to anyone who edits long AP podcast episodes. This is my first dive and hoo boy! 🥵 Several days in and I’m only 1.25 hours into cutting, swapping, deleting, moving, rearranging, glueing, and spit polishing a 3.5 hour AP, and it may still end up a bunch of bullocks. 😅

The 2x2 brick is out there…don’t walk around the house barefoot.

I will always been in awe of the craftsmanship that goes into creating these detailed dungeons and settings for an RPG. The functionality, though, mystifies me. “Gotta set up level two. Everyone, go file your taxes, rebuild your carburetor, or finish that room addition. I’ll call when it’s ready.”

I am craving some high octaine pulp perils and this book keeps calling to me from my shelf every time I pass through my garage.

Seriously, f$%k you Audacity. I am too deep into editing this episode to start over, but once I am done, it is right into the bin with you.

Star Trek - Imminent Destinies (GURPS): Crit failed smoothing things over with my diplomat sister after asking her to reveal security details in public at a gala. Hyperborea: May have unknowingly sold my sister into bondage to escape Xambbala’s nightly cannibal runs. Worst fake brother ever. 😅
