- The current Obsidian Notes visualization of my Mothership RPG home game. The big light blue dot on the left is Prospero's Dream from A Pound of Flesh, and the other big light blue dot is Lord Wesley's Rise from Hull Breach. #mothershiprpg #obsidiannotes
- youtu.be/lJsS8lqCpwU some good news out there in a sea of bad.

- I'm starting to lean more towards that Fermi paradox explanation of intelligent life tending to destroy itself as being the most likely explanation.

- Looking for a resolution table to roll on for 2026
- Thinking about old dice, like way back when they were made of bones and wood they must have all been totally unbalanced and people thought they were just super lucky or unlucky and got killed over it for cheating cause they didn't know the density of the material wasn't uniform.
- All this time contemplating orbs, but what else can we do with them?
- I think Project Zomboid has the most potential to achieve the vibe of #Over/Under . Now that build 42 has gone multiplayer, in a month or two when this unstable build is less buggy I think that's the move. An RP server where everyone plays as a nomad convoy, scheduled "event" when the camp moves.

- Hot take time, lot of chatter about what is the #osr and I'm finally weighing in. nostradumbass.bearblog.dev/were-asking-...
- Trying to trim down rpg room description text is like hacking away at some sort of magical blackberry bush that regrows almost instantly. That writing phrase about killing your darlings? I just need them to fuck off for a bit. The text is improving, but the length isn't tonight!
- Please give me your recs for no-skip albums, headphones on, volume up, music that's good for doing that flow state time travel shit while working on things you can auto-pilot through. Going to see if I can OD on coffee and skip the work portion of tomorrow to get to the fun part.
- Wondering if any rpgs use the UNO deck instead of dice. I've heard of Jenga and regular playing card decks used of course, but UNO is as common as Jenga, maybe more so. Could be an untapped resource. Death save! SKIP!
- Playtested a #FISTrpg thing involving sentient vehicles. Quotes: "My reliant robin is trying to go back into its meat form and get back up to the VW bug.. -Jay " and "Biblically accurate 18 wheeler" -Amber and "It's a sentient suicide bomber?" -Triss (about a mini Cooper with a remote detonator).

- Tomorrow is first play test of @discodan.bsky.social's and my take on a sentient vehicle module in #FISTrpg. Trying a funnel mission where regular level 0 FIST recruits try and rescue intelligent vehicles during a high speed chase involving a traitor truck hauling captive vehicles for CYLCOPS.

- music.ishkur.com This website rules. It's fully interactive and can play examples on certain timeline points if you click them. The very opinionated reviews are worth looking at too, especially the commentary on specific sub-genres and scenes.
- We hit our final #mothershipmonth25 stretch goal for All On Red: donate $1,000 to Doctors Without Borders (MSF)! One of our main NPCs Dr. Lucinda Suzuki belongs to a fictional organization inspired by MSF called Doctors Without Sectors, so we figured this would be a great final goal in the campaign.

- Over/Autopsy for #Over/Under This is about the ingredients in the special sauce, and death. nostradumbass.bearblog.dev/overautopsy/
- I wish I could see some sort of visualization for the impact of #over/under post game. I'm seeing a viral spread of ALL kinds of games being spun up and joined just because of O/U's momentum. Tons of people are starting to write their first content for games, with an insane support network to help.

- Hundreds are still hopelessly addicted to the slicksim #over/under , drooling away their lives in pod arcades while family and loved ones weep. Minders have been hired to persuade them to leave but the most successful method is in-game assassination, a violent but effective way of waking a dreamer.
- This is brilliantly written. A prime example of how to play a complex character that's authentic. It's a real challenge to play a character that you the player disagree with fundamentally. It makes everyone's experience richer. The ore refining metaphor is perfect. Everyone should read all of this.
- #over/under is inspiring. I wanna try and create a SMALL (10-20 players) discord PBP Mothership game. Any wardens interested in collabing? I'm exploring the idea of a scouting mission to a habitable (but dangerous!) frontier planet. If they don't die, it could scale with more players arriving later.
