Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt was booed throughout this commencement speech at the University of Arizona for his praise of AI. This comes just a week after another commencement speaker who mentioned AI was booed at a school in Florida. Read more: www.404media.co/ucf-ai-comme...

Deskilling is real. This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service. Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.

This!

I have the thought from time to time to introduce the players to some monster called a Rhea. They'll probably think nothing of it. Then later on in the story I bring them back in a large pack. An even larger one jumps out. An NPC cries out "oh no! Lookout out! It's a Dire Rhea!"

Hey all, Kevin here. Please read.

With the new Harry Potter trailer dropping today, now is a better time than ever to remind everyone that J. K. Rowling's name appears in the Epstein files where she calls Epstein "a very dear friend".

Alright everyone, time for the first update about my Tactical Mech Rogue-like TTRPG; Golemancy: The Ascent! www.patreon.com/posts/golema... I'm super excited for the future!

Here are my predictions for the Pokemon Gen 10 starter's final types. Grass / Ground Fire / Fairy Bad / Bitch (slay)

Hey everyone, update time. (Good news!) You might have heard, but I'm shifting gears. I've felt creatively stuck for quite a while on Tamers. I'm taking the entire custom made TTRPG system I did for that, and using it to create something new; "Golemancy: the Ascent"

Something like this would make for a fun new game+ mode in any Pokemon game. 🤔

We have limited availability (less than 400 each) of the Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG Core Rulebook, the Vagabond Dice Sets, and the GM Screen! Presale goes up in 12 hours at landoftheblind.myshopify.com Orders expected to ship by 10/01!!!

Hey everyone, update time! I'm slowly getting out of my burnout, so progress on Tamers is speeding up! Alpha Playtest 2 is available on the Discord for those that want to see Tamers in action. (Not in the PT) I've overhauled the elemental system. Streamlined based on my experience running it.

I've finally got the next 2.0 playtest for my Tamers TTRPG lined up! Gonna be doing a private playtest first before I make it public over on the Tamers Discord!

the mood today

Not sure how to approach playtesting your #TTRPG? Listen to Spencer Hibnick, head contract tester of MCDM, as he discusses the whys and hows of playtesting. www.youtube.com/watc...

This! I'm someone who actually enjoys the minutiae of balancing. That being said, it's great and all to have [3 spike pits, dealing 1d6 damage each, if a player fails all 3, they'll still have enough HP to make it through the dungeon]. But BEFORE that, WHY are there spike pits,WHO made them, etc.

you’ve been kidnapped. the characters in the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Yeah, I think I'm safe. Lol

Apparently 2025 is the beginning of Generation "Beta"... It'll be interesting to see how the inevitable generational hate pans out with this one, given the unfortunate baggage that word comes with. Lol

Hello #TTRPGRising I'm Mitchell, aka Awesome Soul, a TTRPG Designer. Currently, I'm working on my dream TTRPG, Tamers. A monster taming & battling game where you fight alongside your monster, and explore a vast wilderness lost to time. If that sounds interesting give me a follow to stay up to date.

This was basically me in 2024 too. I hope I can do better in 2025.

For TTRPG designers who have made playtest packages. So I'm coming out with a large revamp to my system and am doing a V2 playtest. My dilemma is; do I use the same mini-adventure I wrote for the last play test, or write a new one? Do you think people will care about doing the same one again?

Obligatory Christmas TTRPG dice haul.

"Hmm, I wonder what's on the TTRPG feed today?" - Finds three accounts trying to promote their AI slop on Kickstarter and Drive thru. - My block list grows.

I feel having a section in your TTRPG source book called "How to Play [Your TTRPG Here]" covers both bases. Imo, these sections are also important for people (both players and GMs) to get an overview of what they are getting into, so they can more easily digest the rest of the book.

I feel called out.

I've decided to write a small "Strategy" section into all the stat blocks you'll find in my TTRPG Tamers. It feels like such a great QoL feature, especially for new Game Masters. Just quick and concise tips (2-3 lines) for how that being can be best utilised in an encounter.

It's wild to me that we still have above ground powerlines, especially in areas that experience wind storms often. One tree or branch falls and the power for thousands of people is out for hours or even days. You'd think with how much we rely on electricity this would be a solved problem by now.

Uh huh, yep, there's the sensationalist headline, didn't take long. They are talking about Among Us...

imagine of breloom for no particular reason

I can't believe Luigi would do this!

I often wonder where I would be if I didn't have such bad social anxiety. It's something I've struggled with nearly all my life. Making & maintaining connections have always been hard for me, so to any mutuals just know it's not that I don't like you, I just that suck at interaction. Lol

Previous sponsor fell through, so I have an opening for my video on Triangle Agency! Expected to film around December 14 and go live before Christmas. Business email and everything is in my Beacon: beacons.ai/indestructoboy

Howdy everyone, I've got an exciting update about the future of my monster hunting and bonding TTRPG Tamers. Tamer in a nutshell is a tactical RPG with a heavy focus on exploring a vast wilderness of scattered villages with your friends and their monster companions. www.patreon.com/posts/future...

telling creators you like their work is less 'if you don't praise they'll stop' and more 'if you encourage they'll do the thing you like' I don't make art for others, I make what I make regardless, but if someone else is into it I !!!! and vroommmm it's thrilling to share what makes me happy

Despite a massive head start, BlueSky has now overtaken Threads in the US 👇

Incredibly handy resource with great suggestions for folks to make standout covers without using AI. (and a reminder that using AI might feel faster and easier, but you'll likely lose a ton of artists, fellow writers, and reviewers by doing so. I certainly block anyone I see using it.)

Reskeet if you're a TTRPG designer and/or publisher and are happy to provide digital copies for actual plays and reviews.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Invalid Handle steps per BlueSky...

What better way to enter a new social media experience than by stumbling in with a game? PICO, the new TTRPG from... uh, me. It's about bugs riding cats, and having tiny adventures! Somewhere between the #Wildsea and #HollowKnight. 🐝 www.kickstarter.com/projects/myt... #PICOrpg #TTRPG #Kickstarter

Does anyone know of a TTRPG that does combat like a tactical RPG? Think Fire Emblem for Final Fantasy Tactics where the player gets to move all their units and do their actions then the NPC gets to do the same.
