Satah and Jess were wonderful hosts, and I deeply adored the excuse to spend two hours going “wouldn’t it be cool if” over and over. this bit hit me like lightning rewatching the movie, and I’m delighted it stuck with them as well. What makes us not Things? Listen to us try and figure that out!

I just wrote the ramblings of a mad man, probably Necromancying an old discussion (I guess).

My (pOSR) view on the game, rules and procedures, inspired by a @prismaticwasteland.com post from 2022.

Do you rule or do you procedure? (I'm so funny) #osr #ttrpg

I did a deep dive into the AD&D DMG's Appendix A! What is the difference between a chamber & a room? What table do I roll on & when? Is the dungeon supposed to be stupid? Is it supposed to go on forever? Who built this thing, anyway? All this & more in the post below! #TTRPG #D&D #AD&D #OSR

Swyvers is a fascinating game. Over half the session occurred outside the prepped "play area". Ole Blind Larry's death & funeral; the nun escapade; finding a fence for the loot; all came from the alchemy of tables & mechanics in the core book. It feels effortless.

Arbor Point Antiquity, my live-text megagame starting this Friday the 16th, has just been put out on itch. The page centralises links to the discord and wiki, and has a bunch of useful resources for making IC documents. Hope to see y'all on the Arbor soon!

Everyone grapples with OD&D at some point, puzzling out the idiosyncratic rules and wondering how they'll use them. In this post, I reimagine the OD&D spell list for my fairytale fantastic campaign setting: In the House of the High King

Justice for The Acolyte! I'm sad it isn't getting another season, it was actually really fun which isn't something I can say for most Star Wars TV

I want to see prequels to Star Wars Episode 1 that follows the adventures of Qui-Gon Jinn where you realize that what happened with Annakin wasn't a one-off and this dude just has a serious gambling problem
