Some people may have heard me talk about Uncanny Echo earlier. Well, the first Issue is out now--and it's free! Please share liberally and enjoy :)
Every month--via a Patreon that I will launch in January--there will be a new Issue. All of these Issues are tied to either an Uncanny event or the echo of one. Creating a larger meta-narrative as the players work together to create an emergent story that slowly unfurls.

GREETINGS, EARTH BEINGS. MERMAID HEAVY INDUSTRIES, LTD ANNOUNCES IT HAS BEGUN WORK ON A PURCHASABLE EXPERIENCE FOR "VIRTUAL REALITY". IT WILL NOT BE REAL BUT YOU WILL BELIEVE IT IS. PLEASE WATCH THIS SPACE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND PREVIEW MEDIA. THIS IS NOT A TRAP https://mastodon.social/media/FCdTQq4X7wIZl4XLKlI
Hi everyone, I'm happy to announce that I have founded a VR game studio, in collaboration with luminous beings who appear above my bed at night. For the forseeable future I'm going to be working on making ~~something incredible~~ for VR fulltime.
The studio is named Mermaid Heavy Industries, and you can find the website at https://mermaid.industries . I'll be posting preview media at this account: @mermaidindustries and RTing it here.
I hope that I am able to show you something incredible.
If you can boost, that'd be great: I'm still looking for work (Can't seem to find anything and it's killing me) I do freelance work and I'm looking for a job that's tech-adjacent at least.
I am compent with SQL, PHP, HTML, CSS, Python(mostly 3, but I can do 2.7) and UI/UX Design. Also good at research, and non-fiction writing
Freelance or Full-time or Part-time work is fine. Need something.
This is how you play Dreams https://youtu.be/qyvJv_ZJkPE
I think I want very young girls to pick up a controller and Dreams and know immediately they are a game designer: it took me 30 years and I want them to just KNOW
I am designing 3 genres of game to interweave in 1 narrative, a noir point n click, a horror physics puzzler, and a platformer with cute robots
The 1000 word RPG theory metaphor challenge
Using a key metaphor from your own life and frame of reference, write 1000 words about how that metaphor explains or clarifies your take on role-playing game design and play. Be specific.
By Dec 31, post it somewhere , tagged #RPGmetaphor1000.
If you want me to see it, put it somewhere I can see it, like g+.
If your metaphor is clear and gives good insight into how you think about RPGs, you win.
I may send winners an actual award.
Yep
I know I'm being a pain in the ass in RPG discussions right now but I'm feeling Very Strongly like a lot of discussion is leaving out important stuff or labeling things very subjectively while using objective language.
Learn to use "I think" or "I feel" when talking about your subjective feelings on RPGs, or understand that you might be wrong or coming at it from a perspective that doesn't consider others.
Tfw you get into a conversation about an rpg topic and write a big thread because of it... but it all happened on birdsite =\
Im really digging The Watch *feelsthatstrongurgetoplay*
Oh hey, why is no one talking about that The Watch is out?!!

"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

My #BladesintheDark hack is available in print and pdf and I'm super excited about it! It's my first published thing.
Glow in the Dark's a game about post-apocalyptic tribes and settlements vying for scarce resources in a strange and altered wasteland. Check it out - and if you end up running it, I'd love to hear how it works for you!

@mb "PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE STOP ROLLING SNAKE EYES!!!"
With guidance I don’t mean advice but actual mechanical prompts.
Some games with discrete phases help a little and I am lacking experience with some of those.
Most GM-less games provide more structure for this, actually, that I think a lot of other games might benefit from.
