Been listening to a bunch of power metal again and the need to run something high-powered, laser-fantasy flavored is increasing steadily. Probably Cypher? Unless anyone knows of something that can go as wild as Cypher System can.

my biggest creative passion in life is ‘the project I’m not supposed to be working on right now’

Me: Huh, lemme check out this game I was kind of interested in when it announced. Me, 40 hours of playtime in three days later: What? Where am I? Who am I?

RPG is off tonight, but @kiennas.bsky.social and I are back with more diminutive shenanigans in Lil' Guardsman! twitch.tv/anarisis

Heal me, chips and guac and video games, heal me

been the kind of week where I'm constantly on the verge of tears and have cried several times, but on Saturday I get to take my nephew to the aquarium so I'm holding onto the prospect of seeing cool fish to keep myself sane

I hate the way governments and corporations reduce their employees to machines and the people coming to them to product that needs to be processed. Like, the existence of A System That Processes Information And Provides Services™ isn't inherently bad, but the forms we have currently definitely are.

To the CBSA agents who were absolute dicks to me when I first came into the country: suck it

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

italian is not a valid ancestry to choose from

I think a mistake I made on Twitter (that I'm still paying for) is that as I built (necessary) boundaries I got too focused on explaining shit and just stopped being a normal social human being. Anywho, I hope y'all's Monday is going well! 😅

Pink Godzilla is great though, gimme more of that

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire fits firmly in the "fun but not a good movie" category The best parts was when it embraced the campy action, which was like....the last 20 minutes of the movie lol

Love that this is turning into a straight up RPG just built on the bones of a social media protocol. This is the kinda shit that makes me glad to be here

Leveling up - anyone with high enough exp will still level up one at a time, but the exp already gained means it will trigger until current cap reached On gold - a more reliable way to gain gold is in the works On stats and PvE - there are some things in the works, but early stages still

Somehow both less good but more fun than Independence Day

Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire fits firmly in the "fun but not a good movie" category The best parts was when it embraced the campy action, which was like....the last 20 minutes of the movie lol

Rewatching Independence Day and damn, this movie is even worse than I remember

One must imagine Sisyphus locking in

@bskyttrpg.bsky.social needs matchmaking; I'm not outgoing enough to challenge people to duels

This is a short but poignant thread about why your game (and any other media) needs to have something at its heart. A point. A message. A reason. Whatever. Otherwise you’re just adorning a hollow frame of a mannequin with aesthetic trappings like the quoted game.

Been trying to explain lately why I've backed hard away from Cozy sphere and honestly I think I'll just start pointing at this. This. This is why.

Woke up to the news that Pathfinder Lost Omens: Tian Xia is nominated for Best Setting, and that the Vineyard RPG: The Undead Gala was nominated for Best Adventure - Short Form!! Loved working on these projects
