new newsletter, if you were on the old one you got migrated across. rip tinyletter. image unrelated mailbob.io/u/lukegearing/

the book i wrote about bounty hunting is now live on backerkit. it has so many words. it has so many people. it even has a spaceship or two. you should also look at all the other mothership month stuff. backerkit.com/c/projects/tue…

@HughBongo it's remarkably uninterested in outcomes, only situations

@LukeGearing picked up 76 Patrons at your urging. curious to pick apart what you dig about it. wager it has something to do with the .. mm .. concentration of idea / word, the nuclear potential of each d6 roll, the specificity with room for any group? what am i missing. it's dope.

i'm poasting

there's no escape.

this is my once-a-year post about 5e

5e is the warren commission of rpgs

tbc only 4 people survived the initial breath weapon, and only one of those remained conscious

near tpk in odnd. if they had done 1 less point of damage to the (ancient red) dragon before it used breath weapon they'd all be dead. they used dimension door to attack the brain directly (see diagram below) . then a djinn next door resurrected everyone in exchange for freedom

if discord doesn't stop serving ads on embedded youtube videos i'll uninstall it i stg

@half_blark hopefully not using the rock or similar implement

if you find me a weakened state you must not be afraid. grasp a rock or similar implement and cave in my skull. such a chance will not present itself twice.

if you tag the mods you do not have the heart of a warrior

@AustinHolmWords ten! it's just the local arcadey place but it's a nice thing to do with friends

@LukeGearing Five pins or ten?

giving up on ttrpgs. i'm into bowling now

I would never compare my indie game to a tasteful blend of MECHWARRIOR, HALF-LIFE, and DEUS EX. When indie developers such as myself refuse to subordinate our work to AAA games, we can explore new and inspiring concepts in marketing beyond cheap references and A/B testing

book club book club book club! one week from today! we're reading one of my favorite new (free) adventures, "Sag River Extreme Cold Research Facility, Alaska." by that scurvy dog, @LukeGearing—come join us for discussion!

@jsgaribay ttrpgs are literally my day job

I think this happens a lot. People are like 'well I could watch the sunset on 30 different worlds, have 30 sets of sensations, memories, emotions - nah, I'll just roll a ball down an alley and hope it doesn't go into the gutters'. Honestly, I think D&D terrifies many people.

@spooky_oh_no buddy I wish I could roll a strike

@LukeGearing One might say you are.... going on strike?

@chrisperrywolf i've already determined that people have very strong opinions on the machines that put the pins on the lane, and i've also seen people call each other pussies for rolling with expensive, hi-tech balls. it feels just like home!
