The cycle of immigrants/refugees and home and finding your way and is @nghivo.bsky.social capable of NOT knocking it out of the park? I’d wager no.

You can find copies of Tales from the Cockpit, my Lost & Found solo TTRPG about a giant robot, its many pilots, and the passage of time on the shelves @sidequestbooks.bsky.social in Somerville MA!

Tales from the Cockpit on the shelves among other solo TTRPGs like Caveat Emptor, Anamnesis, Carved from the Garden, Old Morris Cave,Thousand Year Old Vampire, and A Mending!

Latest read: And Side by Side They Wander by @mollytanzer.bsky.social! A quick and well-written story about a… less than well-planned heist that has a lot to say about love and museums and the authenticity of art.

And Side by Side They Wander by Molly Tanzer - it’s on top of the Skyrim cookbook, which is just random happenstance.

All my games (and one Troika gnoll) @drivethrurpg.com are 50% off from now until Monday because it's my birthday this weekend and I felt like it. Giant robots, heists, Breathless starships and time loops, and a grudge against demons! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Reloaded, The Cog That Remains, A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase, Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, No Map No Plan, Tales from the Cockpit, Rustling Electric Sheep, and the Demon Abominating Gnoll (for Troika).

Seriously. I literally named the stick figure version 'A Preschooler's Version of the Idea', and then JJ Ariosa handed me the other one to put into The Cog That Remains (www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...). It really did feel like sorcery, it was awesome.

A stick figure behind some sort of box in a rectangle with its arms raised, next to another stick figure hanging on to the rectangle with its free arm raised.

The interior art for The Cog That Remains, depicting the open cockpit of a giant robot from the front. Inside the cockpit is a young pilot, leaning out and looking argumentative. On the outside of the giant robot, suspended by a harness and fall protection, is a mechanic whose back is turned to us and who is gesticulating at the pilot with a wrench.

I've made four games for #PocketQuest so far @drivethrurpg.com, so I figured they might as well be bundled together at 40% off! Just a way for folks to grab everything at once, or get one they missed for cheaper. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The 'cover' of my PocketQuest games bundle, with the titles of Tales from the Cockpit, Rustling Electric Sheep, Reloaded, and No Map, No Plan and part of their covers on top of each like a layer cake of fun games.

All the little angels rise up, rise up. All the little angels rise up high! How do they rise up, rise up, rise up? How do they rise up, rise up high? They rise heads up, heads up, heads up, they rise heads up, heads up high! Truth, Justice, Freedom, Reasonably Priced Love, and a Hard-Boiled Egg!

The last bit of lilac on our lawn that has survived the rains. Here’s to you, Sir Terry; a man is not dead while his name is still spoken.

I could look at things like this all day

A screencap from 'Every Pokemon is someone's favorite', showing the entry of someone called Nootella. They chose Wooper, declaring "HE IS MY SON! MY BOY! HIS SMILE SHINES BRIGHT LIKE THE SUN!"

Last day in Edinburgh with a visit to the botanic garden. Happy 10th anniversary @mslade4115.bsky.social !

The Japanese section of the Botanical Gardens in Edinburgh. Front and center is a particularly pink plant, that unfortunately I wasn’t able to find a card for.

Push as far as you can, gain Mastery over Obstacles to make them easier to defeat next time, and die - before going back to the beginning of the time loop to try again. This is Reloaded, part of #PocketQuest2026 @drivethrurpg.com! Solo and group play! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 13

Edinburgh is very, very neat. Pictured in the distance is the eponymous castle, which is fits so perfectly the image of A Castle that it almost doesn’t seem real.

2: I didn't bother changing the skill names for Reloaded, but I did add one. 'XP' is a skill that starts off without a die rating - meaning it's unusable - and you can increase it by defeating Obstacles multiple times. You can use it for anything - that you've already encountered in a previous loop.

"Repetition makes for a good teacher. XP is an extra Skill representing
the character’s experience with the time loop they find themselves
trapped in. Unlike the other Skills, it has a rating of d0 and cannot be
used at the start of the game. You’ll have to earn it, upgrading to a d4
the first time you do and improving it from there. Once you’ve got it,
you can use it for anything - at least, for anything that you’ve already
run into at least once."

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 8

1: Breathless RPGs usually have a 'catch your breath' mechanic that restores die ratings with a catch. In Breathless itself the GM introduces a complication. In 'A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase' the Enemy Fleet gets closer. In Reloaded you have to die, and get sent back to the start of the time loop.

"When the last character dies, the loop resets - everyone wakes up,
perfectly alive, back at the Starting Point. All Skill and Permanent
Extra dice are reset to their maximum rating, all Temporary Extras
are erased, all Wounds and Stunt uses are unmarked, and any active
clocks that are contained within the context of the loop that just
ended are blanked out - this does not apply to clocks that are tracking
things across multiple loops, like a Obstacle’s Mastered clock."

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 8

Reloaded, designed as part of @drivethrurpg.com's #PocketQuest2026, is based on the Breathless system from Fari RPGs: skills are die-rating based, and when you use them those ratings decrease. Shoot with a d10, the next time you shoot it's a d8. Two big changes: www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 6

Reloaded is a Breathless TTRPG about escaping a time loop, available on DriveThruRPG as part of this year's PocketQuest game jam! All PocketQuest submissions have to be human-made, and there are 80+ of them this year! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 5

Reloaded - #PocketQuest2026 is now @drivethrurpg.com! Built using Breathless from Fari RPGs, it's about escaping a time loop. Your dice degrade through... wait, didn't I already do this promo? Well, at least my dice have reset and I can try again! Also, badges! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

The PocketQuest 2026 Badge board. So far I've gotten the badges for completing the project, doing so solo, getting my first sale, getting TEN sales, sharing someone else's game, and getting my game shared by someone else. The only ones of note I could still get are for getting a review, earning a bestseller medal (45% of the way there!!!), and someone streaming my game.

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 5

Reloaded is, however briefly, on the front page @drivethrurpg.com in the Hottest Small Publishers listing. Check out this Breathless time loop game and let's see how many loops it can stay up there for! #PocketQuest2026

Top 8 hottest TTRPGs at DTRPG! The algorithmancy behind this is tied into how many dollars worth sold over such and such a time, so it's moved decently fast its first day!

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 4

Reloaded is a Breathless game of trying to escape a time loop! Take on Obstacles as your die ratings downgrade with each use, die, Reload, and try again - gradually mastering the loop and gathering more resources so you can live to see a different day! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Seamus Conneely of Cannibal Halfling Gaming@cannibalhalfling· May 4

A new #ttrpg coming soon, but: everything ELSE I sell @drivethrurpg.com is 30% off until May 16th!

Mecha, spaceships, and heists (plus a gnoll)! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

The covers and discounted prices of all of my DTRPG games (and one Troika background): The Cog That Remains, No Map No Plan, Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase, Tales from the Cockpit, and Demon Abominating Gnoll.

*tap tap tap* Is this thing back on? All of my mecha #ttrpg are now in The (Mostly) Solo Mecha Trilogy [BUNDLE] @drivethrurpg.com - you can become a pilot stranded in space, a giant robot with many pilots, or a stressed mecha mechanic all at once for 30% off! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

The cover of Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage: a shattered giant robot floats through the void among debris, towards a distant star. A Silver Bestseller badge has been placed on the cover as well.

The cover of Tales from the Cockpit - a damage mecha lays abandoned against rubble as two small figures attempt to salvage it; glowing light emanates from the open cockpit as one climbs up towards it, with a similar glow from a laptop placed on the mecha's leg as the other figure works on it. A Silver Bestseller medal has been placed on he cover as well.

The cover of The Cog That Remains: in the background a mecha stands in its berth, one arm stripped of its armor with the parts exposed. In the foreground a mechanic with a tired look on her face and closed eyes sits, taking a break with a drink and a smoke.

I can’t help it I need to be reminded it’s reeeeeeeeal!

Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, among other (quite excellent) two-player games.

Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage is at #PAXEast '26 @ipr.bsky.social. CHG contributor @blooperly.bsky.social's Our Queen Crumbles will be there too, I think for the first time! CHG contributor Maria's work is in Advanced Lovers & Lesbians! Full list here: www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/PAX-Ea...

I'll be at #PAXEast this weekend, once again offering sessions with Games on Demand! I'm bringing back Fabula Ultima and putting my own 'A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase' into the rotation for the first time! Which of the two games gets run for a given session is determined by the first player(s).

A page from the PAX East 2026 Games on Demand menu, featuring me! It lists my time slots (Thursday 4-6pm, Friday 4-6pm, and Saturday 1-3 and 9-11pm) and the two games I'm offering. A Stern Chase Is A Long Chase is a Breathless game of a fleet of starships on the run. Fabula Ultima bring JRPGs to the tabletop, and I'll be running the PRESS START intro scenario.

The ZineTopia community has been a pretty great one, and the support for what was, behind-the-scenes, a kind of spur-of-the-moment undertaking has been deeply appreciated. Thanks to every sharer and backer! Now to let the machine whir for a bit before beginning the process of 🔥fulfillment 😈.

A snapshot of the BackerKit ZineTopia campaign for Tales from the Cockpit - with The Cog That Remains mentioned as a stretch goal - having successfully funded with 500+% of its original goal thanks to its 137 backers.

I'm more in the thick of things here then I used to be, which is pretty neat!
