Can this be a solution?

Why call it "rendered impossible due to sleep deprivation" when "cancelled by woke" is right there.

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

I’m not sure why I like this so much

To those who pay attention to such things this is grim as fuck, actually.

The playful, prolific use of hyperlinks in online journalism (eg Slate, Pitchfork) didn’t anticipate link-rot. Now so many articles are pock-marked with cryptic allusions that some long-dead link once explained. Weird how quickly a new style comes to feel more archaic than the traditional format

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

I think “nice to e-meet you” had died out but I just searched my emails and I got one in… 2023. Wow.

Cancel your meetings, Chummers, your day is about to become deeply unproductive. www.reddit.com/r/Shadowrun/... #shadowrun

Everything is better in Space, especially Reptilians and Ninjas. Old roll-up illustration, also used in KOSMOSAURS ttrpg.

Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg

I’ve never know a city to be on fire as much as Glasgow.

Had a lovely time with Legion of the Necromancer, what feels like a very specific tribute to the initial three #FightingFantasy #gamebooks with all the brutal randomness and goofy goblin-fighting-a-shark type encounters that entails.

Excellent bookshop find today. I’m obsessed with the corner of #Shadowrun that Carl Sergent and Marc Gascoigne carved out for themselves. There is almost certainly a long Secret Passages article in it.

Has anyone come across an InDesign template for an old school xerox punk zine?

Which fictional characters do you think were having the nastiest sex off-screen?

Purest, undiluted Bluesky

If you haven’t seen it yet, I’ve co-designed the official Godzilla RPG alongside @markalatham.bsky.social and the legendary Jervis Johnson. www.kickstarter.com/projects/idw...

So excited to dig into this @floaker.bsky.social 👻

Do we have the final numbers on whether decapitating a repressive regime but letting the remnants have at it in a brutal civil war made Libya a better place to live?

The talking down of Super League aside, yes, please - hook it to my veins

obviously today is a huge embarrassment for Matt Goodwin and for Reform, which is something that we absolutely ought to celebrate, but we must also remember it's a huge embarrassment for Morgan McSweeney and Maurice Glasman and all the Blue Labour weirdos, and that's important to celebrate too :)

Tatjana Wood has apparently passed away at age 99. Her father was Jewish so during WW2 her parents sent her to the Netherlands, then NY. She studied as a dressmaker, met/married Wallace Wood and began assisting him, then pivoted to becoming one of the best colorists in comics.

As a Labour member I’m DELIGHTED the Greens won, hopefully the message gets through to the leadership now. And more varied left voices is healthy.

Vital thread. Proper on-the-ground reporting beats tidy narratives any day. Voters are complicated!

I've launched 4 (very) successful TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns in as many years. One like = one no-nonsense take on indie TTRPG crowdfunding.

The world’s most Bluesky reply

"John Prescott would be loving this"

My intrusive thoughts aren’t at risk of taking the wheel in the same way, but I really felt this too. It’s heartbreaking how little empathy or willingness to understand people are capable of - to them neurodivergence/mental health will only ever be a ribbon.

Had a much better time with House of the Dragon Season 2. Matt Smith’s Susan Hill subplot enlivened what is effectively a reskinned anime about horny gundam pilots.

Yesterday was my birthday so I took today off to do pretty much nothing except sleep in and reply to some emails. Would recommend.

House of the Dragon is hard work. I especially like how every three episodes they introduce another half dozen charmless blonde perverts for you to try and identify.

I feel attacked

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

An important note from @meduza.io that all the other reports really should include before the cranks pile in with “it must be the South American nation of Russia 🤣🤣🤣”

Time again to share my Stock Art Artists starter pack (with focus on TTRPG). go.bsky.app/2khFm1H If you happen to fit the bill, let me know.

My favorite artifact in the "you don't need AI to do art" discourse is, of course, screenwriter Dan O'Bannon's sketch of the facehugger to explain it to Giger.
