Mostly games, @nycDSA, and maybe my new baby 🌹 I spit my rhymes like a dilophosaurus / I got my venom in my verse and my chorus 🦖 he/him

To think, we called it the Internet instead of the e-scape

Not really on twitter much these days, but couldn't resist reposting this very kind and thoughtful review of my very silly Monster Mash rpg.

[LibraryOfWords @library_words]

This week I dig into "At Midnight, We Mash" by @Samnite and talk about how the game uses the Monster Mash to tell a tale about social alienation, otherness, and the power of outsider communities.

I think about this tweet more than any book I've ever read.

it’s a strange thing to spend years assuming the task of one’s life is developing intellectual nuance only to realize that in fact it’s moral clarity

Shout out to the WKCR student reporters who are putting many national media outlets to shame and doing an incredible job under extreme pressure

[melissa “cancelled student debt” byrne @mcbyrne]

No one in NYC govt cares about killing students

@lincodega I was already excited about this announcement but now I've got "I'm just a bardpunk dirtbag journo" stuck in my head and honestly? Not mad about it.

[Sam R @Samnite]

@riseupcomus What is this from??? I'm obsessed.

System: Escape from Dino Island by @Samnite and @stung_art

Keep an eye out Wednesday 👀

[Sam R @Samnite]

One thing about boygenius is they remember a core premise being a band is “what if you could make ‘having an awesome friend group’ your project and your job?”

[Sam R @Samnite]

@lincodega If I can avoid using “cinematic” to describe Escape From Dino Island, nobody else has any excuse

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

It’s absolute madness that this is being said when the US is providing the bombs that are causing the humanitarian crisis to escalate in the first place.

Illogical and inhumane.

@mappewpwellps The marketing is flailing — literally showing old footage of Thanos from Endgame in the trailers.

Rolling into work and choosing Demoman

@BreakABone LOOK FOR YOURSELF

[Sam R @Samnite]

If I hadn't seen this with my own eyes I would have thought it was faked

@seanmccoy There was a technical manual style in a lot of those 90s sci-fi RPGs that was really effective in cultivating, I dunno, gravitas or something. They never quite felt like fiction.

[Sam R @Samnite]

Was reading through the Mothership 1e pdfs last night and am increasingly convinced the layout is explicitly riffing on old Battletech books. @seanmccoy I must know if it's true!

[Sam R @Samnite]

@seanmccoy Fair enough — regardless, it feels continuous with my favorite 90s sci-fi rpg texts in a way that I really appreciate and it's an aspect of the Mothership layout work that I haven't seen mentioned much, compared to the more obviously bold stuff in the modules!

WHY DO THESE GAMES HAVE PENISES TO BEGIN WITH? https://t.co/Ieqek5HZtU

@Jesseabe @LukeGearing it's funny because of all the breathless D&D PR articles that came out like 5-8 years ago raving about how "Finally, people are gathering in person, putting down their phones, and actually interacting!" I think that might've literally been how I learned about Putnam
