Dead Ghost

A cartoon-style graphic of a purple, octopus-like creature with four tentacles. The underside of the tentacles is yellow with visible suction cups. Instead of eyes, the creature has two large pink "X"s set against yellow circles. The background is a textured orange grid, and the text "KILL EVERY MONSTER" appears in yellow capital letters across the bottom.

A neon sign displayed against a dark brick wall. The sign features the outline of a classic arcade ghost in glowing pink and blue tubes. Inside the ghost outline, two "X"s inside circles represent dead eyes. Below the graphic, the text "DEAD GHOST PRODUCTIONS" glows in purple sans-serif letters.

One of the best things to happen to me in the last decade was becoming friends and creative partners with @djmalenfant.bsky.social.

We made @killeverymonster.com as a critique on the largest TTRPG company on earth. We made @deadghostpro.com because we love telling stories with games.

a cartoon in two panels: upper panel is a sad, shrivelled looking person and the words "the world is a cruel and unjust place. there is no harmony in the universe. the only constant is suffering"; the lower panel has a much better looking person, with pink flush in their cheeks and the words *minutes later* "OMG adventure dice"

Was just reminded of the time that the @deadghostpro.com community came up with a meme for our ad reads during their DIE RPG actual play series, Replay.

We cannot wait to share this story with you.

We make @killeverymonster.com to be a critical voice of the most dominant TTRPG of all time.

We make @deadghostpro.com because we love playing games and crafting fully immersive audio experiences.

When we started making @killeverymonster.com, it was partially an exercise in venting frustration. It is also because, after years around the periphery of the people who design games I love, I wanted an excuse to talk to people I thought were cool.

It's worked bafflingly well.

Welcome to Replay and DIE RPG by Dead Ghost Productions This time, the game is real

"an actual play rpg about an actual play rpg playing an rpg about playing an rpg is clearly a great idea. Or failing that, an appropriately DIE one." -- kieron gillen on REPLAY by @deadghostpro.com

okay so the thing about REPLAY

is that i had never done anything like this before, i had barely only just met aram, but i had an idea, a seed of story, and several gdocs to keep him in line and remind him of how the game is supposed to play

With the new DIE comic coming out, I wanted to drop a link to our ENnie-nominated DIE actual play podcast, “Replay.”

This is a stylish black and white photograph of a person standing with their arms crossed, looking off to the side with a thoughtful expression. The person has dark, medium-length hair and is wearing glasses. Their outfit consists of a dark, sleeveless t-shirt (a muscle tee) adorned with several small pins, and dark-wash jeans. Tattoos are visible on both of their upper arms. They are accessorized with a chain necklace holding a circular pendant and a distinctive round, dark pouch with a white graphic design hanging from their belt loop. The photograph is composed with blurred elements in the foreground, which creates a sense of depth and frames the subject in a candid, observational style. The black and white format enhances the focus on texture and light, contributing to the cool, contemplative mood of the image.

This is a lively and joyful photograph of a woman, who appears to be a vendor at a market or convention, sharing a laugh with someone. She has a wonderfully expressive face, lit up with a wide, open-mouthed smile. Her unique and colorful style is prominent: she has blue and purple hair adorned with a headband of purple fabric flowers and light purple, iridescent horns. She wears black cat-eye glasses, which have decorative chains with dice-shaped charms, and her makeup includes bold black lipstick. She is situated behind a table filled with clear display trays containing small, colorful dice that she is selling. An overhead lamp illuminates her and her wares. The back of a customer is visible in the foreground, indicating a warm and positive interaction. The image beautifully captures a moment of genuine happiness and connection in a creative, social setting.

This is a striking black and white profile portrait of a man cosplaying as Able the Table from the game "Date Everything." The man has a dark beard and mustache and is looking thoughtfully off to the right. He is wearing his distinctive wide-brimmed hat, which is uniquely adorned with a small platform holding white teacups. His costume consists of a jacket with a prominent wood-grain texture worn over a plaid button-down shirt. The black and white format of the photograph emphasizes the rich textures of his attire and beard, lending a classic and dramatic quality to the image. The tight, profile composition creates an artistic and contemplative portrait, focusing on the character he is portraying.

This is a candid photograph of a young person with striking light-blue eyes, captured while talking on their phone. They have a distinctive two-toned hairstyle, with dark hair on top and bleached blonde hair underneath and at the sideburns. They are wearing a mustache and a small soul patch. Their personal style is accented with jewelry, including a silver nose ring, a hoop earring, a large, ornate silver ring on their finger, and multiple necklaces, one of which features a prominent blue and white "evil eye" pendant. The person is dressed in a dark grey button-down shirt worn open over a black ribbed tank top. Around their neck are two colorful lanyards, similar to those seen at conventions, which appear to be for the "Gen Con" event. The photo is a close-up, focusing on the individual's expressive face as they engage in their conversation. The background is softly blurred, indicating the photographer's focus on this single, in-the-moment slice of life.

I had a truly amazing GenCon, despite only playing one game. I think what I needed out of this convention was just to be around beautiful people that remind me why I play games.

Thank you all for being amazing.

My top listened podcasts are about a 75/25 split between Actual Play podcasts and shows that are ABOUT ttrpgs and actual play in some way so these are my top recommendations right now (only including the ones I am not contributing to, because I also listen to all of those lol):

okay, the deal is:

i'm buzzing from finishing a deadline i had almost forgot about, and it's raining outside and i need to wait for the room to cool down a little before i go to bed so - mostly true things about me & what i do for a living!
