- Your boy has been back in Eorzea lately
- Fascists in the UK may be quieter than across the pond at this moment but they want the same thing. Fuck them all.
- I'm a Lance main in Monster Hunter (sword & shield 2nd), a Red Mage in FFXIV, and my go-to for fantasy ttrpgs is mage/wizard... Is my ideal character class a battle mage who wields only a shield and magic? Where can I play this?
- Reposted by Zak Barouh | ANIMON STORYI am happy to announce we are featured in the latest issue Tabletop Gaming! It even features a cover by @greywizard.bsky.social! I have loved gaming magazines since I was a kid so this is all particularly exciting for me 😁 www.mymagazinesub.co.uk/tabletop-gam...

- Reposted by Zak Barouh | ANIMON STORYIf it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch: I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

- Umbrella Girl is getting a turn as the PFP
- Is there any particular etiquette or rule about reading through rpg books on stream - see plenty of flicking through physical books online but how about pdfs? Should it be watermarked or anything like that? Does anyone have any guidelines?
- Genuinely sometimes ttrpg discourse goes beyond parody of itself.
- Editing my work in the text draft: "Oh no, I can't delete this part, it's really good stuff!" Editing my work during layout: "I will delete months worth of writing just to make this sentence fit on one line."
- First 2026 session of Soulbound this evening and we wrapped up our undead lesbian wedding encounter. Great to be back.
- Reposted by Zak Barouh | ANIMON STORYI day dream of a future where I've actually finished more than one project. Doing mock ups helps me manifest. 🧘💪🕺
- First session of Coriolis: The Great Dark this evening and it was an absolute banger. In love with the dark sci-fi vibe of this game!
- Leo made fun of me for posting like I’m a Pokémon NPC
- i love to play good games with good people!
- I've put up a very exciting poll on Ko-fi to decide the course of this year's bonus releases. I have some thoughts for a different direction this year and would like to hear your thoughts! Do you want to see a year of multi-part volumes building up into a greater whole? ko-fi.com/polls/What-d...

- Regular reminder that fascists are not welcome in my vicinity. There is so much heinous shit going on around the world right now. I try to focus locally because I feel that is often more productive than yelling online - but I need people to know who is and isn't welcome in my 'online community'.
- My resolution for 2026 is to be emboldened by the flame of ambition

- Happy New Year!
- The Outer Bounds Vol. 2 is now available to all Ko-fi Members! We dive back into this Digimon World inspired setting, exploring multiple starting points for adventures offering different game experiences, and look in more detail at the Lost Shore in the northwest. ko-fi.com/post/The-Out...
- Ooh, let's see if I can remember everything I played/ran this year... Vaesen, Doomsong, Animon Story, AOS: Soulbound, The One Ring, Dragonbane, Salvage Union, Yazeba's B&B, Fabula Ultima, Cy_Borg, Mythic Bastionland, Orbital Blues, When the Walls Fall, RUNE, Dragon Dowser 15 is the number to beat!
- I am not available in starter packs. To follow me you have to open random boosters until you pull the right handle.
- I’ve realised that when I play RPGs I really like having a character sheet full of fun buttons to push. Abilities to activate, points and resources to spend, mechanics that let you push to re-roll etc. I think this is why I’ve always felt disconnected from the OSR “player skill” above all mindset.

- It’s a personal goal of mine to fundraise for Jingle Jam next year - which means kicking up some more streaming throughout the year to prepare! JJ has been part of my Christmas tradition since it started. About time I got involved!
