Spectaculars by @scratchpadpub.bsky.social is one of my all time favorite #TTRPG. I've wrote about in a very long post celebrating the game and all that's to love about it. behindthewallgames.com/2026/01/18/s...

The Cromcast vs Neuromancer, part 1! www.podbean.com/ew/pb-p3tiv-... #pulp #cyberpunk #podcast

I love printed books, but I also love electronic access. My FLGS I buy from is in Bits and Mortar and so should yours.

The Wild 90s in TTRPGs! This conversation was a great one! First up today is Wolfgang Baur, a creator and businessperson whose fingerprints are all over the hobby. youtu.be/dYThl7bUzZ0

Rocked Bite the Bullet, running Splittooth Passage first and had some intense moments. Next came the chaos of Gelid Glens of Gar, my Open table, west marches OSE game. Fun times, my friends. Fun times

I'm slightly amazed that there are people out there that are still flabbergasted when a media outlet, pundit or other talking head points out, each week, how beautiful the Emperor's new outfit is.

In the OSR, it is obvious the Dungeon adventure is the reigning monarch, followed closely by the Wilderness Point or Hexcrawl. But what about the Urban adventure? Where are the creme de la creme urban adventures? Sure. Barkeep on the Borderland. But what else?

Terrific story about community.

read online that someone set-up a premium rate phone number where callers get charged $3.99/ min. then they posted flyers in their neighborhood that said "call this number to report illegal aliens," but the number just puts them on hold with music. so far, they've made $17,000

It’s another reason why Poilievre wants to eliminate the CBC. He wants us to be exactly like the United States, if not a part of it.

Pinterest CEO says in layoff email: "We’re doubling down on an AI-forward approach – prioritizing AI-focused roles, teams, and ways of working" So it's time for me to move to another platform to save images

For every retweet I will make Zuckerberg’s creep glasses 5% thicker

Hey #creatives! My partner is considering alternatives to #shopify for a small business selling physical products. Anyone have wisdom re. #wix / #CargoCollective / other? #WooCommerce is an option but she’s trying to avoid relying too hard on me (fair). #eCommerce #SiteBuilder

Ok, #ttrpg hot take time. I've had a couple of beers, may regret this later. If metacurrency ruins your immersion, then unless you've been doing some FKR bullshit, then every other RPG you've ever played has also done that. All of them require doing things that are "meta".

Jazz and Lego with the little one.

Bluesky isn't a place where trolls come to get mocked and insulted. They love that. Bluesky is a place where trolls come to be blocked and isolated and ignored — which they hate. If you're seeing a lot of shitty people in your feed, you aren't blocking enough people.

This, but for wargaming terrain/basing supplies. What's the point of holding onto those sheets of blue XPS foam, styrene tubes, and fancy grass tufts? Use them.

looking for any experience of licensing IP in the TTRPG space. anything data points you're willing to share would be really helpful. you can DM me here or on Discord (@phophos).

All in all I'd have to say I don't enjoy being ruled by semi-literate perverts with infinite money

No joke, this was the exact photo that originally radicalized me. 100% serious This is when “no war but the class war” suddenly made sense

I'm gonna go read an rpg book. Maybe I'll nod off. Either one is good.

Just, no.

The Matt Minogue mysteries by John Brady

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

Disgusting take and policy. I met a refugee in downtown Toronto with trench foot — a WWI disease — that he contracted while living unsheltered in the rain. Refugees are not why the system is failing; they're the people we have failed and are now scapegoating. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

It's Saturday! Post a cartoon 📺 series you love.

You see, it’s a joke about the Freedom Convoy, which also freaked the voters of Carleton out enough that it’s a big part of why he lost his seat in the last election.

Need to quickly cancel your RPG session? We’ve got you covered

Love you Osprey, but... "Pre-written" 🙄

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up. Journalists have been arrested just for trying to cover it

Starting on Friday Feb 6 for two weeks, #ArcDream will offer half-off everything and donate all proceeds (except S&H) to Stand With #Minnesota. (Note: The #DeltaGreen Handlers' Guide/Agent's Handbook slipcase will be back in warehouse on Feb 9 and is included.) Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump. Fuck fascism.

Here it is: the inside story of how the Eglinton Crosstown LRT went off the rails. This was the result of months of work, research and sourcing. www.thestar.com/news/gta/off...

Nation could really use Catherine O'Hara to deal with passing of Catherine O'Hara

Support real journalism, it matters.

Canadian Armed Forces member dies in Latvia

Having just one guy not suck complete ass is so crazy it makes every little thing he does look like a miracle.

Who's doing some ttrpg fun this weekend? I'm not and I want to live vicariously.

Now that I'm on a formative retro scifi kick, does anyone have access to a James Patrick Kelly story called "Mr. Boy", published in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction, June 1990? It hit hard back then and I'd love to read it again.

Some hard truths for provincial separatists: * A province doesn't "belong" to its provincial government. * A province doesn't "belong" to the people who live there. * A province belongs to all of Canada and Indigenous treaty members. * Referendums have no legal status in Canada. #cdnpoli #ableg

Get bent

Am cheering for Cairn Press's success, because their terms: + Creators retain their IP; + Seeking a license to publish and distro, not to own creators' work; + Transparent production process and accounting; + Straightforward royalty structures + Etc All of this should be standard practice!!!
