I was the cultural consultant on this edition of Designers & Dragons: Origins. Reading them illuminated so many details relevant to my job about why games are the way they are. I'm gonna be talking about the Atruaghin Clans, Drums on Fire Mountain, and the Orcs of Thar the rest of my life…

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

Featherlight (Meg Merchant) originated as a minor NPC in my long-running teen superhero TTRPG campaign, but grew into a major character in the storyline and in my heart. She's the living incarnation of the celestial Raptor Missile. @rabbitbucket.bsky.social brought her to life!

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

at the gym yesterday i saw the crossfit class before me had a “9/11 commemorative workout” involving 9 sets of one thing and 11 sets of another thing and I couldn’t tell whether that meant they respected or disrespected 9/11

I guess I need to update my resume.

There’s nothing like attending Worldcon in-person as team @khoreo.bsky.social's representative, as one of the actual Finalists for Best Semiprozine, only for our masthead to be entirely skipped over, while everyone else’s names and mastheads were read in full, exactly as it was on the program sheet.
