Really great thread that explicitly verbalises a lot of the things I think are implicitly true.

In last week’s show we talked about the MASSIVE Dungeon Crawler Carl crowdfunder and how it’s smashing records.

Session Zero GM: no Kali you can't be a great actor and a world champion boxer. Dexter: what about a music icon and a genius scientist GM: no! Hedy: ok film icon and genius scientist GM: no! Red: what about jazz legend and also boxer who fought Sugar Ray Robinson GM: what did I JUST tell Kali?

Oh no, Labour is continuing to kill disabled people and actively killing trans kids

Sometimes you see something and think: 1. Doesn't everyone know this? 2. What about consent? youtu.be/jWtDBHYl06E?... This video is about "knife theory" which was a rather good idea on Reddit that you should have multiple ways for the GM to mess your character around. #ttrpg 1/

What? Friday? Again? It must be time for me to do a podcast... www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1Gh... #dnd #ravenloft #paizo #TTRPGPodcast #mutrt #TTRPGNews

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse Media and universities: AI is here to stay

I need to stress again that requiring ID for age verification is technically unnecessary, and yet more evidence that the point of these laws is to end anonymity on the internet, not to protect children.

Did I ever share this? Someone asked me if I could draw their conure as a swashbuckler, and boy, am I glad I said yes. Thinking about opening up humanoid commissions again, they just take me soooooo many hours!

@pocgamer.com Have you read the March North by Graydon Saunders? I think you might dig it. 😊

The Hungry Gods by Tchaikovsky

An experiment. The alt text should keep it readable without spamming and also maintain the #.

Really enjoying Graydon Saunders "the long march North". It is VERY reminiscent of the Black Company and this Silver Spike reference confirms it. A must for anyone who wants to think about magic and armies and how they'd interact. #booksky #ttrpg #5e

Americans diving into their "race" categorisations. Yes. Very normal. Great way to spend your Sunday.

Another for my collection. :)

A livestream? with me? At 2pm? Today? www.youtube.com/live/T9hadg3... #5efeed #5e #dnd #ttrpg

It's not about replacing labor, it's the principle of paying wages they object to.

Hell yeah she is.

Ok on a serious note, it cannot be exaggerated how bad formalized Iranian control of the Strait is for the world. The entire global economy rests on an American guarantee of free commercial shipping. That guarantee is gone. We don’t know exactly what will happen but none of it will be good.

Anatopism. Like 'anachronism' but for place. (literally 'something out of its proper place') This is a real word already but definitely needs adopting by fantasy writers for the reasons skeeted!

The Packet by @neilwilliamson.bsky.social Thanks for the review copy! A modern book with silver age sensibilities, it explores identity with respect to our environment whilst reflecting on the struggle of labour and capital over the past century. A novella length quick read! #booksky

I should totally make another starter pack for Bsky this weekend. 👀 But! In the meantime, if you aren’t following all these groovy people, get on it! 💞 • go.bsky.app/7u5ZeVQ • go.bsky.app/7u5ZeVQ

Right. Back to exile.

Pretenders to the Throne of God by Tchaikovsky. It's a banger, but you knew that already. I loved the use of language; echoes of Irish/Gaeilge but without going the cheap (GW) route of treating Irish as "elvish". That's just one tasty part of this delightful cool-thentic setting! #booksky

@chschwartz.bsky.social Thank you for the follow. It is the policy of this account not to follow back accounts that don't use alt text.

The singular "they" has been around longer than English has had codified grammar, so really, anyone who fumes about it can go fuck themself www.oed.com/discover/a-b...

Classic CEO Brain to have the newly announced shiny new AI thing immediately become the #2 most blocked account, and then coming on here to let everyone on the platform know that they don't GAF and are going to push it through anyway. That's a bold strategy, Waffles. Let's see if it pays off.

What's that? A livestream? And I'm on it? At 2pm UK time? Weird. Possibly unsavoury. Who can say? www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NzM... #5e #dnd #ttrpg #mutrt #TTRPGPodcast

I think I'm going to need to take a break from social media. The focii that were working for me are no longer doing so. Maybe I'll be back sooner than I think. Depends. Bye.

My most worrying thought is there are 3 approaches: The Left Wing: We should look after children and make sure they have a world to grow up in. The Centrist/Liberal/moderate: We should make sure that children get fed or something. The Right wing: How can we indoctrinate kids to our belief?

Now THIS is how you sell me a book!

Good. MAKE THEM PAY.

And if you haven't read the article that we published about the tabletop scene in Iran, please do. These stories are important.

What ambiguity? AI is not helping the world situation. Big net negative. Slop-ocalypse.

"Just because Armour Class is featured prominently on the 5e character sheet, it's entirely hypothetical that your character might engage in combat." Character sheets are User Interfaces for your game and players read and make inferences about what they will be doing based on what it says.

Turns out there's a livestream with me in it. 2pm UK time! www.youtube.com/live/WThuvPx... #MUTRT #TTRPG #TTRPGNews

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Advocate by Ford, the Warden series. The first two books are fairly interesting with some good world building, but it's in this 3rd book where Ford can mix high fantasy and detective noir that his writing really takes off! Works as a stand alone too. #booksky www.kobo.com/GB/en/ebook/...

Just finished Necrobane by Ford, it's the middle book in a trilogy but he manages to tie up some plot threads for closure whilst opening up new dramatic fronts. It's got things I enjoy like people being friends rather than lovers and the MC Aelis is trying very hard, it's just difficult👍 #booksky

Polyamorous, polymath Aelis gets sent to the sticks because she got up the wrong people's noses. She's supposed to guard a stupid village full of stupid villagers, and, even though she's a necromancer, she still has to make her friends the hard way. It's the worst! But then... #booksky

My son came up with the best term for the DLSS 5 and other weird GenAI non improvement (at least the first time I've heard it): "Sloptimization". It's perfect. No notes.
