❗️ WE DEMAND THE RELEASE OF JOURNALIST STEVE HELD. Federal agents detained Chicago journalist Steve Held of the independent press platform Unraveled @unraveledpress.com on Saturday, Sept. 27, while he was reporting on the ongoing protests outside the ICE Processing Facility at Broadview, IL. (1/3)

in celebration of the 1500th person getting the fastest CTA news around™, comment here with your photos of the CTA! it's time to replace the google-image-searched background photo we put up when we set this thing up

join the war on chicago on the side of chicago

We finally did it! Runecaster is fulfilled to our backers and now live on itch! Big thanks to everyone who made this project a reality, including @slumberfish.bsky.social, Thorø Murphy, @jawska.bsky.social, and a bunch of people whose blueskys I don't have pangurbancollective.itch.io/runecaster

Before you make your next #TTRPG, check out my free font Polymath, which lets you create a bunch of different dice types in an accessible way: hedgemazepress.itch.io/polymath-dic...

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

I propose a new contraction: do't. Pronounced "doot." Means "do it." Thanks for your understanding. I will (continue) using it.

Our government left us high and dry and now CTA faces 40% cuts. This is going to do massive damage to Chicago's economy, and the rest of the state as a result. But we can stop it! Fight for public transport in Chicago!! share.google/o9jVrHwCuiBU...

It’s also going to completely FUCK Harrisburg, which is home to many, MANY people who rely on SEPTA in some capacity. Fucking hell, can we not have anything good?

Free fonts? Yes! Here are five that are useful for TTRPG and board game design: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/five-free-... #ttrpg #boardgames 🎲✂️

reskeet a tweet you still think about

Hot take for #ttrpgs. LGBTQ+ designers are responsible for most of the innovation in the hobby I've cared about in the last 20 years. We should encourage LGBTQ+ publishers not just because of social marginalization…but also because the hobby keeps benefiting, tremendously, from queer creativity.

This is why my white whale of ttrpg design is a dress up game, but like... make it FFX-2

I just got my DnA test back. Y'all it turns out my ancestors were Pangaean

Designers, artists, APers, zine writers, newsletter writers/editors, critics, podcasters... any and all are welcome.

Tu es GNiste et racisé ? Tu as déjà vécu des trucs racistes en GN ? sylphelle a besoin de ton témoignage écrit ou oral avant lundi prochain ! L'idée c'est de l'utiliser sur LaboGn pour bosser sur l'antiracisme & son prochain prochain guide. Tu peux rester anonyme si tu veux. #GN #JDR

I purchased decaf cold brew without knowing and had been suffering for the last two days thinking "oh, I'm ill! Gen Con caught up with me!" or "ahh the air pressure, it is awful!" or "ah I have wrecked my sleep schedule." No, it's just my caffeine dependency, crying out.

As the TTRPG media sphere contracts, we're expanding -- Rascal is hiring a news writer! We're running a short 2 week pledge drive, offering a 6 month, 25% discount, celebrating our Diana Jones Award... nomination... in order to support this new hire.

I always wonder how many things my dog thinks I can control. Like the lights inside, doors, obviously... but does he think I can control the lights outside? How hot it is? If it's raining? Basically I want him to know that I'm suffering in this heat just as much as he is.

Anyone else's autocorrect now just giving blatantly erroneous or even downright wrong "corrections"? I had to turn it off in Google Docs and my phone is doing it, too.

If you need a cultural consultant to explain why the depictions in those cards were offensive, I don't think you have any business designing in the first place.

Furthest I've been from my point of origin: N: Paris, France S: San Juan, PR W: Portland, OR E: Tokyo, Japan

here's a radical idea: instead of making the act of being a judge for TTRPG awards so burdensome that it's hard to find people to do it, you just get different judges for different categories and decrease the load?

If you see this, quote this post with a title screen that's iconic to you.

Game designers any time something brings us joy

Three years ago today I was playtesting at #gencon - this year it was nominated for an Indie Groubdbreaker Award for this setting. Get out there and make your game! #ttrpg #ttrpgs #indiegames

Hartmannswillerkopf was the end of 30,000+ French and German soldiers, all dead for the sake of only a few hundred feet of ground with little actual bearing on the war at large. Today, there's a crypt that holds the bones of over 10,000 unknown soldiers. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Stop using period tracking apps! Don't leave a digital trail anywhere. Get a paper calendar or diary.

Avast! We're Skies of Fortune, the Sky Pirate RPG! We seek to evoke the Golden Age of Piracy with a bit o' magic thrown in. You can take on monsters and imperial scum in swashbuckling combat on land, or in the sky in your very own fantastical airship!

A modest #gencon2025 haul. Rich in spirit, poor in cash. 😂 Wanting to support a fellow indie, I went by the @igdn-official.bsky.social booth and picked up @wannabegames.bsky.social Moon Punk! Perfect for a hard left-leaning former punk rock kid!

my mom taught me there's two kinds of businesses: hot dog stands and art galleries - hot dog stands protect territory and keep competition off their turf - art galleries benefit from more adjacent art galleries, cluster together to amplify reach/support youre an art gallery, not a hot dog stand

We might have gone overboard.

I created a thread where I share the link to the zine I made on bgg for the new codenames. Surely there will be transphobes who come to attack me for it—so please help support me on there! boardgamegeek.com/thread/35536...

Indiana is a hostile place to trans people and every single one of you I saw at GenCon are the bravest and most beautiful people in the world and I'm glad we were out there visible and bold in the face of this cruel and heartless world. Each of you were a walking balm of gold out there.

It was annoying but tolerable when Reddit/forum users would cannibalize a piece into quotes and 'tldr's to save each other leaving the platform. This is straight up ghoulish. please, for fucks sake, read writing from humans and not shitty LLM bloatware summaries.

A wonderful convention! My Dune larp was a successful so that was a highlight.

During Gen Con, I will have 250 of these zines with me. The goal is to inform normies about what’s going on with CGE and a call to action to join the blacklist. No buying, pitching, or covering CGE games until they give the community a proper apology and response on how they plan to make good. 🎲✂️

A new fun way to say you're constipated

Come check out our new game at Gencon. Projected to be the biggest colab of the year! FLULA BORG

Lesbian! Vampire! TTRPG!

UFC = female gaze, you heard it here first

I can confirm the PBS Passport is a very good deal for $5/month or $2.50/month if you do yearly. Thousands of hours of top notch content. NOVA is great. The new Ken Burns doc on Leonardo da Vinci is excellent. You can sign up at the link below! www.pbs.org/passport/lea...

@adriellee.bsky.social and I wrote a fun little game about being Queer Witches for @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social 10th Anniversary! It is sweet, light, and a gay ol' time! You'll be able to pick this cozy bad boi up starting at @Gencon! Check out The Queer Coven!

Today, @jawska.bsky.social, Matthew Orr, and I discuss planning a “very special session” as a GM and defining what your game is about as an RPG designer. #rpg #ttrpg nerdburgergames.com/rpg-rd-episo...
