This one looks good! I’ve backed it!
-
This comics project deserves your backing! It’s on Tumblbug (Korean crowdfunding platform) and available in Korean and in English translation.

@bratrat @marstratpro @JihyunPark7 @theBekku There was actually a (pretty good!) short film adaptation of Readymade Bodhisattva, as part of an anthology film called Doomsday Book. I discussed it here:

But yeah, a Love, Death, & Robots take would be cool to see too. 🙂
-
I backed this! It looks really fun!
-
RT @capacle: This is for ‘Midnight Melodies’, my newest game, currently on sale and at #01 on itch!
Give it a look: capacle.itch.io/midnight-melod…

Another Isle of Joy mini-essay: this one’s about ambiguity and backstory in RPGs.

Had a great conversation with @gonzohistory for the Monster Man podcast the other day, and you can hear it here! We talk about using spirits in RPGs and more! Check it out! twitter.com/gonzohistory/s…

I was going to get my flur shot next week. Turns out that was a week too late. The flu sucks but this IV treatment the doctor gave me helped enormously. I’m back to 70% human now, as opposed to being blubbering, horrid mess a few hours ago. Still need to take it easy for now. Ha, Flur shot. There you go, I’m definitely not 100%.

Here’s another mini-essay tied in with Isle of Joy. This one’s about evoking the uncanny in RPGs. I hope it makes sense. (I have the flu and might be delirious, I’m not sure.)

Here’s the third of my mini-essays on lessons I learned while writing and playtesting Isle of Joy, which is on Kickstarter now. This time, it’s about, ahem, “strict time records” (and otherwise)… or, really, about time as an element in setting-building.

I backed Wytch Mountain by Ahimsa Kerp on @Kickstarter kickstarter.com/projects/creat…
-
Another mini-essay from me in awkward sales pitch mode for the Isle of Joy Kickstarter. This one’s about XP when treasure take an unconventional form in your game. Controversial, maybe, but hear me out…

RT @DragonStabber: Back Isle of Joy on @kickstarter before it’s too late! kck.st/3PMGaaC
It’s a brooding, psychedelic trip across… -
When I say it was a small village, I am not kidding. A neighbour of his down the road had several cows on their property. (That said, I think technically it was within Cheongju city limits…) Oh, and he played this for me, asking if I knew it.
I’ve never heard of Sil Austin, which shocked him! 🙂

Bought a sax mouthpiece today—great deal—from a guy living in a small village outside Cheongju. A really great, nice, friendly guy.
He also amazed me by playing sax with 9.5 fingers. (He had a key attachment built onto his sax for the partly-amputated finger.) If anyone’s actually curious, it’s a Theo Wanne Durga 3 with an 8 facing. No “Enlightened ligature,” but that’s why it was so cheap. (Third hand, apparently.) Has a little more edge on the tone than my other tenor mouthpiece, and a little more power. Nice piece.

Awkward salesman that I am, here’s a little blog essay—maybe the first of a few—about stuff that came up writing/designing and playing my latest project, Isle of Joy (on Kickstarter now). gordsellar.com/2023/10/07/les… The project is here: kickstarter.com/projects/drago…

Coming from @KnightOwlPub, back it now at kickstarter.com/projects/drago… #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #ose #oldschoolessentials #osr #tabletop #tabletoprpg #rpg #games #gaming

It’s all happening! 🙂 t.co/R36dvl0scF

Well, the Isle of Joy kickstarter’s now going.
It’s going to be a gorgeous book. We had an absolute ball playtesting it earlier this year, and the players are still a little haunted by the place. If you’d like to visit the Isle, you know what to do:

Our latest translation is in this month’s Clarkesworld, along with some other great stuff! https://t.co/oP17G7JHuX
(Why yes, I am behind. Why yes, being sick just before the semester started has me running behind in many ways… still excited about this, though!) The story, by the way, is by Djuna, and is a pandemic-era story originally published in a collection of such stories. I cannot seem to find Djuna’s twitter—perhaps they abandoned X, as I’ve all but done. I’m not sure.
-
So exciting to see these glimpses! Leucoea’s bees! The Monkey Queendom! That gorgeous cover!
(And yes, “Jodorowsky’s THE TEMPEST but an RPG” does somehow capture it.) t.co/006h4rgnTW
-
Something Tookish! is now out! It’s a @BrindlewoodBay hack for playing out cozy mysteries in a bucolic halfling village. We had a ball playtesting this. Thanks to @jasoncordova6 for such an excellent ruleset. Link in next tweet. gordsellar.itch.io/something-took…

Well, that’s unfortunate.
