A nice long bank holiday weekend and the gaming starts tonight with Dolmenwood. By way of @doogface.bsky.social 's Abigail's Wedding into one of the Book of Lairs and then into @darkforestpress.bsky.social forthcoming Old Smiley. What a hodge-podge. cc: @davej-au.bsky.social @scottr7.bsky.social

I’m a little late to the party—so to speak—but I’d like to extend goodwill to you all for the holiday season. #Saturnalia #Goya #Saturn

"Why do they need a science fiction writer at the hospital?" "Look, if they NEED a science fiction writer at the hospital, then shit has gotten REALLY weird, I must depart" (leaves Thanksgiving in a hurry)

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

A funny little illustration from Dragon Magazine 31, comparing the heights of various D&D giants. Check out the wee little 10ft tall hill giant. The article included this oddly specific table detailing how tall a miniature needs to be to adequately represent various types of giants. #dnd #ttrpg

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find. So I built it: blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack... The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database. Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Want to try out Traveller for free? We have put together a Starter Pack for you all that includes the core rules and two scenarios to kick your games off - Stranded and Death Station, both based on classic adventures. www.mongoosepublishing.com/products/sta... #ttrpg #TravellerRPG
