This week on Dice Exploder @weirdwonder.bsky.social talks with me about designing NPCs. We focus on the context of writing adventures / modules, but a lot of what Amanda said I took straight into my GMing. I could do a whole series on this one topic, take a listen!
My three player asynchronous journaling game about three witches cursed to share one body - We Three Shall Meet Again - is getting an actual play / novella release this December. @notwritinggames.bsky.social, @napel.itch.io and I essentially co-wrote a novella, and the audio book is coming soon.
This is good; please help me fill out my list of movies where people get knocked down and there’s a bowling pins clattering sound effect.
My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

🍑I LIKE BIG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE🍑 Loved having this discussion with @sam.diceexploder.com about what bodies we get to inhabit, while we adventure. Down with the humanoid default! Opposable thumbs are overrated. If you don't have legs I'll carry you. Are we not an adventuring *party*?
This week on Dice Exploder @zedecksiew.bsky.social joins me to talk about Thri-Kreen, the mantis people from Dark Sun, and the broader idea of how playing non-humanoid characters changes the way you play, think, and imagine. This ep is PACKED with ideas, Zedeck is as always such a thoughtful person.

All the best things. Time spent talking games with Sam and sharing my love of Fallout in Liminal Horror (by @goblinarchives.itch.io)
This week, a day late, on Dice Exploder: @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social joins me to talk about fallout from Liminal Horror. It's adventure writing, how to make harm interesting, and horror modules! Take a listen:

What's the right number of minutes to spend on what everyone in the crew is wearing as they prepare to meet Mardin Gull, unofficial peacekeeper of the underworld, for first time? Over or under 30 minutes?
Tonight in Blades- After being at war with the Billhooks for a few sessions, they burned two of our houses down, and our Hawkers responded by constructing and then detonating a Tier V Ghost Bomb inside their headquarters, destroying 23 souls and leaving their bodies catatonic. God I love this game
Megan is correct! If you're in Chicago go check out my short film playing at the Chicago Horror Film Fest this weekend - I will be busy moving into my new apartment instead of being there :( but you can hang out with Megan instead :)
If you are in Chicago and want to see @sam.diceexploder.com‘s rly good short film “Toothless” on Sunday and also say hi to me (I composed the music) you can do that, just sayin

This week on Dice Exploder Caro Murphy, one of the designers behind Galactic Starcruiser, is back to talk about de-roling. After the game is over, what does it look like to step out of your character, debrief, and reincorporate the experience you just had back into yourself?

As promised, here's a set of 4 pregen characters for use with the free version of A Sliver of Evidence (link to that inside the post). This module is great!
This looks sick, just read the free version on itch and I'm gonna write pregens for it so hard
