Many years ago I played a cat druid in vanilla WoW. I should have been a rogue, and we all knew it. But I was too lazy to level a new character for awhile. During that time I was "definitely and totally a rogue" to everyone in my raid's DPS group, so I didn't have to heal.

Alright, TTRPG friends. I want to get away from 5e. I need a new system with structured combat that isn't too complicated to learn. Right now I'm looking at Draw Steel and 13th Age 2nd Edition, but there are so many other systems I'm not familiar with...what would YOU recommend? #ttrpg #dnd #d&d

am I insane or do McDonald's cups sweat more than other cups? my frappe is sitting in a puddle on my desk.

It took me two years to get over losing the original file for the map of my campaign world. I'm FINALLY starting to remake it bc I want to do a better job on the eastern continent. The western continent is more detailed because, frankly, that's the elf empire. And goddamn, do I like me some elves.

Trying to get ideas for ice breaker questions for a work thing. This is a good one, "If you could have anyone narrate your life, who would it be?" Werner Herzog, hands down. What's your favorite random weird question? I might use it at work!

welp there goes 15 years of my SEO career

Decided to switch from "DM" to "GM" because I don't like the weird way using "DM" sort of condones/encourages WotC. I don't have a problem with D&D (and will likely keep using 5e) but boy, do I have a lot of problems with WotC.

Nope, pets don't die in my games because I don't find that entertaining in any way, shape, or form. Even when GMing, I'm a player, too, so I also have Lines and Veils!

I told them I'm an adult and don't need a platform deciding what content I voluntarily access.

- Need thing from person who has agreed to do thing by deadline - Deadline is 1.5 weeks before my dependant deadline that 250 people are expecting - Today is person's deadline - Almost end of day - Haven't heard a peep from person despite communication attempts - DEFINITELY NOT FREAKING OUT HERE

Do you still have ASOIAF brainworms, after all these years? Is one of those brainworms "What's the deal with Tywin Lannister?" Do you want to spend /two hours/ feeding that brainworm? Then boy do I have a podcast for you!

anytime I see people shocked that @kenjennings.bsky.social is a man of the people I’m reminded of this from 20 years ago

very creative trauma

Sharing this because it's SO true. We went to the National Aviary on a lark (lol), and it legit turned into one of the highlights of the trip. It's a gorgeous facility with wonderful people and even the special option stuff is really reasonably priced. Most importantly, I GOT TO PET A PENGUIN.

Centuries of warring empires have many effects on the world...including magical and metaphysical.

I'm chairing a panel on the impact of generative AI on the tabletop industry this year at UKGE. One of the panelists, an academic working in AI ethics, has put together a short survey about it. If folks could fill it out that would be incredible. Thank you! forms.gle/1WVjs9Jrdk1F...

JOURNO REQUEST: Do I know any pro level designers who are also big movie nerds and would be up for chatting with me about the intersection of the two over the next couple of weeks?

I'm proud to have a partner who can circumvent our kid's meltdown by 1) knowing the uses of WD-40 2) liberally applying WD-40 to the squeaky playground swing causing said meltdown The kid is now back up at the park happily swinging and texting her friends about how cool her dad is.

One summer day, a very long time ago (circa...2005 or '06, probably), I was a young woman having some ice cream with a new friend. We'd met playing World of Warcraft, because we were both active roleplayers who put together community events. I did crossfaction arena nights, he did peace sermons.

I wanted to say something, but this awesome person has said exactly how I feel. Please also summon me Final Fantasy-style. Thank you and happy Trans Day of Visibility, I can't imagine my life without trans folks. It would also be infinitely worse.

I love this couple more than any other fictional couple. Seeing them as adorable kids and then the time skip! And suddenly we have new heroes and they're super badass and Enzo turned into WHO NOW and I've had a thing for one-eyed characters ever since.

My husband, @failanth.bsky.social, knows much more about hip hop than I do, so I asked him to give me some recommendations. What I got was a Spotify playlist entitled, "Rap for my vanilla wife." I love this man. (It's a really good playlist.)

As a nonprofit employee, I can't tell you how much this infuriates me. I wish the example grants they talk about here were direct service grants because losing those directly affects the public...and HAS.

This is truth

The "abuser is a good man" argument is SO common in domestic violence. Abusers act like they just did one thing wrong but are SO good normally that it should slide. But, of course: 1) that's really dumb 2) it's never just one thing; it's part of an intentional pattern of abuse that has escalated.

I don't notice how much work my ADHD meds do until I've been off of them for a little bit. Holy shit, I am having a hard time focusing today. Do task. Immediately hop up from desk and wander around room for a few minutes. Do task. Go downstairs and bother husband for a few minutes. And so on.

Two monarchist imperial systems are at the heart of the main conflict of my world, as it features warring Empires. However the few countries that've managed to not be eaten by either empire have varied methods of governance including a democratic republic and elected congress.

That this program even exists is *everything* to the nerdy little girl who adored figure skating and punching peoples' heads off that still lives inside me. Plus, it's goddamn amazing!

I need to brag about my partner: I've got a busy day at work, so @failanth.bsky.social got up early so he could make bacon bc he knew that would ensure I actually ate a real breakfast. He did NOT tell me he was giving me ALL of the bacon we had left bc "you love bacon a little more than I do." 😭

Y'know when you were a kid at the grocery store with your mom and she ran into a friend, so you'd be stuck there for FOREVEEEEER while they talked about the neighbors or taxes or something else unbelievably boring?

I just wanna piggyback on the amazing value of this bundle. There is SO MUCH GOODNESS in here for whatever is a reasonable price to you. I'm still going through what I bought, it's been a multi-day process!

I don't think I've had a PC after the year 2000 that didn't have mIRC on it. Discord only stole me away because it let me post gifs. oh my god are there even IRC servers left am i seriously considering this

This is such a cool concept. I'm super excited to pick this up!

I got quoted in Elle Magazine! www.elle.com/life-love/op... One of my favorite parts of my job is being able to discover information based on our data, and I was able to supply some data about the connection between sports betting and domestic violence for this article.

You should follow this guy if you don't already. Hilariously, Wally and I go back far, far, FAR beyond bsky; we were friends through freeform IRC chat all the way back when I was a teenager!

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"
