So Prismatic Wasteland nominated a piece from the Indie Game Reading Club for the 2024 Bloggies, hosted this year by sachagoat. This is the … third year, I think, of doing it. Being a predominantly OSR-oriented event The Bloggies have passed under my radar a couple times now. But here we are, nominated. It’s a nice feeling! Now we’re paying attention.
The piece that was nominated was Deep Dive: Stonetop. It appeared on Patreon more than a year ago, January 24th, 2024. It’s a good piece and I’m still proud of the work. You can read it here on Patreon again if you’re interested.
Anyway! Recognition is nice and we’ve faced a lot of terrific creators, and now we’re in the Final Four. I strongly encourage my readers to check out everything that’s been nominated — I’ve been enjoying them all quite thoroughly.

We’ll be back in a week or two with some stuff I played at IGRCon 2025! The big winner so far has been Nathan Paoletta‘s Trouble for Hire, a really interesting GMless game about 70s exploitation movies, a wandering antihero, and an elaborate economic clockwork that makes the whole thing run.
Your review is what got me from “never heard of this” to “I’ve bought it” within about a day or so of your post going up.
Tomorrow is session 17 of our Stonetop game, and it is proving to be an amazing experience.
Amazing! I just started a second game of it here for my family. Very, very few games get to my table a second time.
