Jason’s making the Forged in the Dark game I wish I was making! I’m lucky to playtest it and it does cool stuff with claims and police. Check it out!

Sometimes we need a reminder that it's OK not to be a rockstar developer all the time. Or ever.
Interested in 3D printing for tabletop RPGs? I just published a blog post covering the current "state of the art," including:
* Basic concepts and terms
* How to have minis or terrain printed for you
* Inexpensive 3D printers (USD $200) you can buy and use yourself

A follow up to my previous video, when a bunch of dudes said they were nervous playing marginalized characters.
As part of my New Year's resolution to get my games and whatnot in a new venue every month, I've put my whole catalog up at https://epidiah.itch.io/
Here are some of the deets: https://dig1000holes.wordpress.com/2018/02/28/digging-1000-holes-on-itch-io/
Just a Saturday making slime, 3d printing tackle box dividers (because we're out and kids' beading kits don't come with LIDS), and watching my oldest do Tynker coding.
#ElysiumFlare playtest doc v6 is public and v7 is available for patrons. Playtesters, please check your credits!
Exoplanet gravity cards for my #insomniacsrpg cryoship game. Optimal, high, and low gravity. https://dice.camp/media/aC3KnxUn0dpZJ-G-gnM https://dice.camp/media/yZFTQklmJSeg8Hff3bk https://dice.camp/media/CXg5QEBtHXXizA1usJM
This weekend my group's foray into D&D 3.5 hits its second session. I've avoided it for so long and don't expect it to go long enough for "character build" to matter that it feels fresh and new.
Also it's my turn to run Savage Rifts. There will be a moonbase and an asteroid castle. It's Rifts, and I am all out of fucks.
Player-facing rolls: I like rolling as the GM but not necessarily to oppose the players’ actions.
Doing some arting for #Insomniacs, my cryoship game. My idea when I got into this was that these would be cards, but I couldn't reconcile things like "low gravity" or "abundant resources", which are easy to do with iconography, like I could do with "no atmosphere" or "thin atmosphere". https://dice.camp/media/C1AhWNJ9NcErep5HJGg https://dice.camp/media/L7sFEs4hor5PzWjXv5A
Today's staff meeting #sketch.
Feels like I'm getting better. Drawing a tiny horse was fun.
I'm starting to wonder if I should try other skills... you know, like coloring or something.
President Trump has exact requirements for what RPG texts he will read and play. This is the #tRumPG Challenge:
Design an RPG to President Trump’s requirements. Post it to social media by March 5th using the #tRumPG hashtag. As the judge I will pick two winners: 1) a game most likely to be tweeted about by Trump; and 2) a best game if you’re someone other than Trump.
You may not impeach the judge if you don’t like his verdict.

Posted a one-page RPG called Fierté at the Patreon page today. Free for all! Go get some revenge.
In an hour, on http://twitch.tv/ericvulgaris/ I'm gonna be playtesting/facilitating my game, MORTALLY<O>BANKRUPT, a streaming rpg about identity, fear, and nihilism under the guise of a lovecraftian', high-fashionin' reality show.

A word cloud of the character stat names from 156 RPGs that I own from the 70s to today. Only a couple of them are D20. Only a couple of them are OSR. Only a couple of them are World of Darkness. https://dice.camp/media/YTTqFGlsH_iZ9kCx_qY
Curious about Dresden Accelerated? Want to see it run? You're in luck! Last night I ran it for the guys at @SuperGeekedUp, and it was a blast! Go watch:
