Just saw an Albert Heijn ad using a genAI image. Disappointing for all the obvious reasons, but especially because genAI churns out nothing but slop. They could’ve hired an amateur photographer and gotten something just as awkward—without all the bullshit. 🤬

So... this was such a disappointment. Had it been written by anyone else, I would have said otherwise but Joe Abercrombie is capable of so much more. Incredibly generic with just a hint of Abercrombie.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

5 small GM pleasures: 1. Players interacting with the NPC they didn't have to but you hoped they would 2. Players giggling at your funny bit 3. Players having in-character conversations that you get to watch 4. Getting to execute that cool bad guy move 5. Players saying, "That was a fun game!"

Battle doomscrolling with 5 small GM pleasures: 1. Players rolling Insight on an NPC who’s telling the truth. 2. Rolling dice behind the screen for no reason. 3. Saying “you ‘think’ it’s safe.” 4. Saying “absolutely everything glows” to Detect Magic. 5. The barbarian raging… at a puzzle.

Rich has a point but I still think the biggest mistake a GM can make is to kill their players. Just ask

If you're happy about a flower, people will say, "Bigger things are happening!" If you're happy about the miracle that life exists at all in an infinite and mostly barren universe, people will say, "how does that help MY situation?" They want you to think exactly as big/small as will upset you.

So much GM “advice” just restates the obvious or pushes against it. What helps me most is hearing how someone handled a tricky table moment—more than universal rules. One of the reasons I enjoy
