anyways a propos of another banger from @adamgurri.liberalcurrents.com, on what the positive goal of liberal politics should be: an open society www.liberalcurrents.com/liberalisms-...

#TTRPG worldbuilding This guy is perfect for my metal forest biome. 😈

Part 65 of 200 in historically interesting things to inspire your ttrpg 17th-century Pistols disguised as Keys. Meant for Jailers for self defense or sounding the alarm they would dangle on the same ring as the jails keys.

This is exactly why I enjoy #TTRPGs they're an easy means of sharing that inner world Although I find, in the sharing, that often my ideas are half baked and collaborating makes for a better experience

I want to party like it's whatever year we all get rich, and can stop worrying about the bs heaped upon us.

this is pretty fucking amazing.

a computer can never be held accountable; therefore a computer must never be permitted to impersonate a human being.

How true this is... #ttrpg #dnd #ttrpgCommunity #rpg #ttrpgsky #meme

Blades In the Dark #TTRPG changed my approach to when I ask for a roll. For me this is the greatest innovation of BitD The video explains how to move from task resolution to conflict resolution

My one weekly old man yelling in the void post. If this means you have to remove the filibuster, do it.

In the US, if someone wants to quit a job to pursue a career in the arts, that means forgoing health insurance. A few have other options, some take the risk, others can’t even consider it. They claimed I was so lucky to be born here. Greatest country in the world they said.

#TTRPG campaign pitch A chapter of the Temperance Movement has started in your, campaign town 😴 it's late, ya'll are going to have to do your own research on a inciting incident I'd steal a story from europe where this was a progressive movement There's definitely a lot of potential for intrigue

I love the pallete so much.

This is why I enjoy facilitating indie #TTRPGs For a few hours, I get to see the world through someone else's eyes

Highly recommended.

What movie villain is a horrible "person", but an absolute joy to watch on screen?

This is the first time I've had an Ubuntu upgrade fail So I'm doing a reinstall, I had setup this system, so this isn't that hard. And /home is untouched I'm not looking forward to having to reinstall a bunch of apps. 😮‍💨

#TTRPG & #BoardGame friends the pyramids are calling… Tap their power.

This letter from White Dwarf complaining about sexism (December 1985) is from Oliver Dickinson. Regular correspondent with Greg Stafford, author of the "Griselda" adventures and a mere two years younger than Gygax. If you want an "RPG elder" to idolise, better options than Gygax are available.

😍 I love this ship and the character sheet. It reminds me of a drafting drawing. Like a blueprint.

#TTRPG talk I really like the pause button I've been doing something vaguely similar. But I'm gonna look for something more concrete I mostly play online, and I feel a pause button is less intimidating to actually use No one has to know why you paused the game

My dudes, #TimeManagement tip. Only check notifications when you have time to respond. Otherwise you have to read them twice.

😮‍💨 #OSR #TTRPG but it's running the government with someone who refuses to learn the rules… Yup that perfectly explains, today's world.

I have talked to people a lot over the years about how not-the-norm our modern ideas of 'canon' are. It wasn't very long ago that long running movie series like Bond or Godzilla or whatever, would only have a vague canon that really only established the status quo that you'd go into each movie with.

There’s lots of great stuff here but I especially love this answer about what people usually get wrong about PBTA.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Time for some civic education The routine Filibuster is just bad. The entire point of an election is, if you win, you get to do your agenda. The Filibuster is why so many people are disillusioned.

🤔 I bet I could use blender to do some interesting lensing effects.

This, but with society as the unit of analysis is basically my whole thing right now. Get out your vision boards for parallel institution building. Nope. Don’t tell me what can’t be done. Tell me how we figure out how to do it.

I gripe about common media literacy and understanding the concept of story[telling] problems, but apparently I'm just an anachronistic relic because these are professional guild writers. Who can't figure out how to connect to old fuzzy continuity or grasp the concept of self-contained reboot arc.

I should get a cat, and learn to knit On the third hand, I'm not sure what my cat to study ancient warfare 🤔

If you haven’t experienced my dark sci-fi audiobook series, please take a listen. Each episode is carefully crafted with original music, sound design, and immersive effects — more than a story, it’s a full audio experience. Thank you for listening — and for helping bring the Heavenfield to life!

This is one of my favorite things. The Big Bad isn't just spending 24/7 Big Badding. They got all kinds of other life going on around them. Also even for monster motives. The ravenous beast might just need din-din or be upset because a pup is missing or even that they lost their favorite toy.

#TTRPG campaign Pitch Your brother joined those out of town adventurers and died. While trying to learn more about his death you come to realize, they are not human. What did you see?

Withholding a vote in a presidential election over your key issue does not help your key issue gain traction *after* that election BUT Demanding that your current senators hold the line on your key issue *before* they're up for election can help your issue It's not that hard to get, right?

Having just finished @karenhao.bsky.social’s Empire of AI, I’m struck by quite how much of the current AI industry is built on groupthink and cultish ideologies. If AGI is really the threat it’s meant to be, why focus on scale at the expense of exploring other possible methods?

How is it not obvious that people need their healthcare costs to not go up more than they need a restoration of air travel?

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Here are the senators to kick out for the next senate primaries. They successfully negotiated nothing. Oh, and Schumer, whose lack of leadership let this happen.

If @markwarner.bsky.social can’t convince his colleague to do the right thing then he needs to go in 2026. This is not the time for cowards.

Vote and get involved because you're going to like the alternative to being asked to participate in a political group even less

My Dudes, someone needs to primary @kaine.senate.gov He is hoping that we forget in 2030 that he caved in to this administration

Tim Kaine is a traitor

Oh and The Black Hole! I finally watched it last week and I'm firmly on team "this is fantastic, actually." I've watched so many movies already this year, and only two of them came out in 2025 (The Naked Gun and Frankenstein). bsky.app/profile/almo...

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
