For Zine Quest 2025 I made a weird little game about taking Wikipedia articles and turning them into dangerous spellcasters. Wiki Articles Are Wizards [citation needed] is now available on RPG Trader and itch! rpgtrader.com/products/308...

We all wake up with phantom limb syndrome for a limb no human has ever had. Everyone agrees: it emerged between the spine and the left shoulder blade, it was long and many-jointed, and even in its absence it's still hungry. #OctoberScaries #nonsense #horror #microfiction

The Flower Eaters. From my Coffee Creatures painting series, made with watercolor, ink, and coffee. #art #watercolor

These zombies are different (again): neither fast nor slow, they move at a sort of lope. In open spaces, we call them "joggers". In the context of the dangerous post-apocalyptic supply repositories we have to raid to survive, they can't get up to speed, thus "mall walkers" #OctoberScaries #nonsense

You descend into the food pyramid, interrupting the slumber of the ancient pharaoh Us'Da. You barely escape, and not without unleashing a terrible curse. For the rest of your life you will have a vague feeling that you're meant to be eating bread and pasta six times a day #OctoberScaries #nonsense

Tag yourself I'm Educational Centipede

Oh yeah I guess I'm into "conjuring ghosts" too, haha. Oh regular ritual-based summoning? Yeah that's cool. I've been getting into third-wave post-necromancy, it's pretty intense stuff. Yeah no I did a lot of rituals in high school, when we were all just feeling things out #OctoberScaries #nonsense

Ultra-high-lethality OSR dungeon crawler where each dungeon level has its own character creation chapter for rolling up a new PC for surviving party members to recruit when you die on that level. Backgrounds, species, and even whole character classes may be unique to particular dungeon levels.

Busan has a new resident named Bukangi, a shark who started chilling in the canals near the train station a couple weeks ago. The city has been trying all sorts of schemes to gently lead her back to the ocean but she foils every attempt and swims back and forth being admired by crowds of fans.

I was trying to meditate but the thoughtpicking lawyer burst into my mind palace with a bunch of metal strips for fingers and tried to claw at me. Think I'm going to have to give up #OctoberScaries #nonsense

*rolls the dice to determines today's TTRPG discourse* oh haha it looks like the discourse is about, which dice I ought to be using for this, again,

Live-action Nightmare Before Christmas remake with strong opinions about whether the original was a Christmas movie or a Halloween movie. Jack Black as Jack Skellington turns to the camera to address the matter directly, before launching into a sung diatribe about Die Hard #OctoberScaries #nonsense

Careful kids. Don't be too noisy in the back seat when we're coming up to... the scary bridge. That's right. It's the bridge where... the fright happens. The only way to remain unspooked is to not tell your mom I gave you McDonalds for dinner four nights in a row #OctoberScaries #nonsense

Human collective consciousness implies a vast wellspring of unrealised psychic potential. Somewhere out there, in potentia, waits every monster we ever dreamed of. A shadow's edge away, there really is a flying purple people eater. And its one great eye is fixed upon us #OctoberScaries #nonsense

Well in this day and age one doesn't really "keep" a crypt so much as the crypt keeps you. Keeps you barely financially solvent, ha, ha, just my little joke. Wine? #OctoberScaries #nonsense

huge if true

Guy at the door says he's here for your knuckles. He's got one of those, you know, like a shepherd's crook? No I don't know how he'd – no he says it's not for the knuckles, it's part of a broader motif. Look I don't care, you come argue with him about it. So these knuckles, #OctoberScaries #nonsense
