Being at a conference with a whole bunch of *really* smart people always leave me like:

#RPGaDAY2026 starts August 1st RPGaDAY is back for 2026, running through the month of August, as usual, and uniting gamers in praise of roleplaying games across social media platforms and across borders.

I talked @thegeekpreacher.bsky.social into officiating my actual real life wedding, after getting to know him through attending cons from 2013 onwards.

There’s a bit of discussion of that sort of thing in the GameRT Discord, actually!

Have you looked into ALA’s Games and Gaming Round Table? www.ala.org/gamert

I’m finally going back to Gen Con this year after a few years away! I’ll be spending my afternoons and evenings (plus Sunday morning) GMing for Lurking Fears, but I’ve still got some time to wander - any suggestions for people to chat with/booths to locate?

Want to support TTRPG Professors? Maybe start by subscribing (for free!) to Analog Game Studies's YouTube channel, and keep an eye on the journal (FREE TO READ!) at: @analoggamestudies.bsky.social

I could only mention a few games by name in here and mostly stuck to “games that are likely to be known by the average librarian”, but I did squeeze in a @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social Heart mention near the beginning.

Oh, I've got a real one. Put your character sheet or playbooks in the manual. Is "mark a box when X happens?" a big deal or hardly important? I don't know, and won't know until I download a fucking PDF.

I wrote an article for RUSQ, an @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social journal, about board/card games and TTRPGs in libraries! journals.ala.org/index.php/ru...

I haven't had a chance to read it yet due to the hold list being VERY long, but Theo of Golden by Allen Levi is constantly flying off the shelves at the library where I work!

People should be able to tell the difference between "Good Books" and "Fun Reads". There are many books that are objectively NOT Good Books, but they're Fun Reads, and there are many books that are NOT Fun Reads, but are very Good Books They're not mutually exclusive, but they're different criteria

Somehow, yes. I have many friends who enjoy engaging with my brand of creative chaos.

Ran @darkspacerpg.bsky.social The Secrets of Lunar X-12 yesterday to prep for Gen Con, had a lot of fun! And now to review the hacking rules before next time, because I made the mistake of going “I don’t need to know these, why would my players want to hack anything during a hexcrawl on a moon?”

Did you know this years ENNIEs judges were 100% white and 80% male? Anyway unrelatedly here's the application to judge next year ennie-awards.com/judge-applic...

Still nearly 10K to go for this to fund - I really want to run this system at some point, please check it out!

57 years ago today, queer people resisted a police raid at a gay bar in NYC. These activists bravely defended their right to exist in the face of government oppression, causing a major turning point for LGBTQ rights. We honor Stonewall's legacy as we continue the work for liberation.

The character who was on death saves survived! Playing low level wizards is not for the faint of heart.

I got to be the inaugural Membership Spotlight for the @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social Rainbow Round Table! www.ala.org/rrt/rachel-k...

Wet Ink Games @wetinkgames.bsky.social has a BackerKit crowdfunding campaign running until July 4th for a supernatural horror TTRPG set during the American Revolution! I LOVE the concept, and it would be wonderful to see this reach its goal. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w...
