This is a @micaholism appreciation thread!

micah-anderson.itch.io The first Micah adventure I ever saw was Carnelian Riddle, which has one of the best adventure pitches, ever:

You are commissioned to rob a Sphinx
Infiltrating his garden party
Meandering through a semi-hostile demiplane segregated from the flow of time

Oh, look, we're playing THIS game again, where TTRPG luminaries descend from the heavens to offer myopic and *wrong* information with an authoritative voice. These people think they have all the answers and they absolutely do not.
#RealGameIndustry. There are literal billions of dollars spent on RPGs every year. Anyone who says otherwise either doesn't know any better or is willfully ignorant because they have a stake in maintaining status quo.

#OSR #ttrpg #TTRPGs #rpg Image I said I'd print it after I hit $1k, and we hit $1k, so here we are!

KANABO is a d100-based rules-lite adventure game set loosely in Tokugawa-era Japan (1600–1868) and based on iconic sword-fighting movies. James Mendez Hodes (@LulaVampiro) did the cultural consulting on it! ImageImage

Some thoughts on game design.

I've been cooking all my life, and professionally so about two decades. One of the things you'll see inexperienced cooks do when they're working on a dish is add as many high-end ingredients as possible to the dish. Surely that makes it good, right? But when you throw lobster, truffles, foie gras, jamon iberico and saffron all together, you're gonna get something that tastes like none of it. The flavors don't compliment, they clash.

Same with game mechanics.

Nobody is "jealous of your marginal success."

You incited targeted harassment against multiple people on both discord and twitter for criticizing your aggressive self-promotion and then re-framed it as you yourself beinf harassed. Image I wasn't going to directly name-drop this particular person because of the disparity in following size but they continue to be an actively harmful individual, focused entirely on building as large a platform as possible with which to silence & harass people they don't like.

Yes, let's continue to infantilize, downplay and mitigate the virulent, violent racism, anti-semitism and bigotry of these domestic terrorists.
They're just a bunch of good folks, misled by The Evildoers.

it should not be lost on anyone that "white militiamen storm a government building and law enforcement does nothing" has become so frequent over the last few years that ppl are already dismissing this blatant coup attempt as a failure. it's one more step to normalizing that when white men don't get what they want they take it by force and are allowed to do so. there will be little to no consequences for today's actions. it will happen again. and again. and again.

Unpopular #RPG opinion: "a product of its time" is a bullshit excuse, and dissecting the racism, sexism, homophobia and colonial mindsets of a text isn't "attention seeking," it's trying to weed out elements of our industry that never should have been there from jump. first of all, D&D is a whopping 45 years old, shit wasn't written in ye olden days of yore. there was no excuse for bullshit colonizer mentalities in 1974 and there's none now.
