They're calling it "one of the Gen Con hauls of all time"

Gen con highlight for real. what could this possibly mean

Caleb Zane Huett

the first scene we drew had a nonsensical and unwinnable minigame that was both definitely an error and an incredible galaxy brain mirroring of the premise of the scene leading to automatic failure. it is now one of my favorite cards. nobi nobi is perfect even when it's messing up

Got to facilitate The Firmament twice during gen con, with strangers & with friends, and: it's really good y'all Can't wait for more people to see the vision!!

Wow I love games and the people that make them

If you see me at gen con, it's because I'm at gen con, but if you see two of me at gen con, that's my doppelganger and please let me know because I've always been curious what it would be like to- [gets hauled off stage]

Went to look at some art yesterday and it's crazy how Norman Rockwell was doing his whole deal while his close artist friends & local contemporaries were Expressing Ideas

Finally just about ready for Gen Con!! I've got prints to give out and prototypes to show off, would love to talk to anyone and everyone about them

What if: a ttrpg that ships in a 3-ring binder. You unseal numbered envelopes and add pages to the rulebook as you play. Certain rules ask you to destroy envelopes without ever looking inside. There is a GM in charge of the book, but players earn a metacurrency that they can spend to remove pages

Been trying to figure out a concise way to say this but: I think we like GMs because 1) our brains crave the feeling of discovery, and 2) you can't discover stuff you already know, so 3) GMs "own" truth in the fiction so players can discover it. But I love it when games play with who owns truth

I <3 time loops

This Should Be A Game!

Our series turning Happy Death Day (2017) into a TTRPG begins by talking with @calebzane.bsky.social about the psychological purpose of time loops, making exploration & investigation feel good in a defined structure, & the different table values when gaming-to-socialise vs gaming-to-game 🔪

Will be at Gen Con next week hanging out & running The Firmament! Lmk if you want to chat about games, tarot, layout & graphic design, or just want to catch up :)

Also, as someone with a PhD who spent over a decade doing research, it's always shocking how quickly people claim expertise & how quickly others believe them (in every field) Academia trains people to be extra cautious asserting expertise, because you have to prove it through scholarship

Dr. Emily Friedman

Meanwhile, people with actual expertise & research are LESS LIKELY to position themselves as a “TTRPG professor”: - game studies grad programs are still fairly young so their grads are too (plus hiring dumpster fire) - senior folk come from many OTHER fields, often at teaching-heavy institutions

I have asked for an 80-card tarot deck plus tuck box to be added to manufacturer quote for "informational purposes." somebody please tell me this is a bad idea
