It was a joy working on the originals!

RPG tip: Don't overprep for your new campaign. Leave room for the things you learn during your session zero. #dnd #ttrpg

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

@thebenbyrne.bsky.social Can I just say how cool it is, as the designer of the original Bone Trader, to have that monster get a shout out two weeks in a row on the Eldritch Lorecast? ☺️ Totally makes my day that you're enjoying that little guy. Love the art and stat block you previewed, too!

We need educators like this

THE WHOLE SERIES IS OUT IN THE WILD! I don't make any money on these, but please support physical media and tell your friends to check out the show so I can make a case to do moreeeeeeee!

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

What are 5 specific things you could get up and speak for 30 minutes about right now? 1. Teaching 2. Dungeons & Dragons 3. Star Trek 4. Cartoons 5. Catholicism

The influx of people to BlueSky is huge! I've tried to find the folks I've followed on X & Threads b4 but met with limited success. This week, I found dozens!

A very happy GM's Day to all of the GMs out there. Thank you for all that you do.

If this does well, I’m going to try and get a new wheelchair. I know that seems like a weird thing people on the internet say, but in this case it’s actually legit. If you dig 80’s cartoons, TTRPG, and wild adventures… check out my new project The Outer Seas www.kickstarter.com/projects/388...

I know this is going to make me sound insufferable but fuck it: People who say “less” instead of “fewer” for countable nouns drive me crazy.
