Told my mom about Lü Bu. Worst mistake of my life!

important message to all bluesky users

"I went on Twitter and I saw all these terrible posts" Oh fuck man really? Did you also go to the dump and find a bunch of rotting food? Why are you making it my problem now.

You spell magick with a K because you think it's cool and occult. I spell magick with a K because I learned the word from a note with a link to the kinder egg website that I got in a kinder egg when I was 8 years old. We are not the same.

Since I'm in a Delta Green game, I started watching The X-Files. Unsurprisingly, the show where they investigate weird shit helps you understand how to investigate weird shit. This far it has plots like "Ghost Boss", "Cops Hate Neanderthals", and "The Worm That Makes You Angry", and I quite enjoy it

why is 69 the nice number

Colonial ttrpg but you are BEEEEEEEEEEEEES and you build a hive and make honey and if you sting someone you fucking die.

ok so let me lay out some basics of why I think OSR/NSR stuff is good, actually, even if the scene seems to regularly terrible oppinion-havers like some geothermal geyser. in short, its because the osr framework of what you do in the game *works*.

Blocklist update day, had more than a few chuds show up and get tossed in here, at least one that snuck into our Discord, and apparently that Gates of Krystalia guy hasn't learned his lesson. (If anyone finds that guy on bsky though, lemme know, he belongs in the TTRPG AI Blocklist)

My friend Tamal drew this for me as a christmas gift and it is beautiful.

if you have -1 con you have to drink every hour or take damage

there's a certain way certain people write fiction about disability that really sets my teeth on edge, and it's an approach that I can only describe as 'educational hugboxing' in this, portrayal of disability must be constantly affirming, and it must use specific and correct terminology (🧵)

Anyway as the year draws to a close, a reminder that in 2023 Microsoft AI's CEO said that "LLM hallucinations will be largely eliminated by 2025".

I saw the 'I love my AR-15 and my trans son' guy out in the wild today while Christmas shopping one of those black shirts with white military iconography except it was pink iconography and had 'PROTECT TRANS KIDS' next to like a rifle with a bayonet, huge dude with a beard and an F-150

Genuinely the weirdest thing I see on this website is the deluge of bot accounts advertising some shitty aquarium thermometer. I keep adding stuff to the word filter to get rid of it, and it keeps showing up in my feed regardless. At least it's a funny random object and not something horrid though

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!

Stealing a r*ddit comment "I think that having ontologically evil monsters that are always okay to slaughter is fun, and having monsters with hopes and dreams and reasons for doing what they do is also fun, and I'm tired of people trying to convince me that either one is inherently wrongbad." #ttrpg

Very happy with the look and feel of this thing. We're leaning hard into that folky, esoteric weirdness. Ragged edges, decorative details, simple and worn. Hand-carved, splintered, dark. Full of spells, secrets, and age-old danger. Also, making shit pretty isn't exactly difficult with Tania's art.

Very cool, guess they're not getting my money. "Nono but but it won't be in the game though!" I do not trust your AI-using ass.

I implore all GMs to get enough rest before your sessions. Staying up too long when prepping might get you good ideas, but getting enough sleep is more important for your mind than you know in pretty much all aspects of your life, don't neglect it. #ttrpg (Do as I say, not as I do)

The FFXIV subreddit is hilarious because they'll announce a sexy succubus character and someone will draw sexy succubus fan art of her, and it'll have like 1500 upvotes and the comments are full of people bitching that they drew the sexy succubus TOO SEXY.

Listening to the dogshit joke-music that made me laugh when I was thirteen It's even funnier now

People seem to have forgotten the rules of "Don't Feed the Trolls" and "Block Indiscriminately". Those are rules here on BlueSky, by the way.

My birthday today. Got a party, then once I come home, I'm doing a shorter ttrpg session due to time constraints. Party are going to fight giant eagles who are making trade difficult by killing and eating horses and packmules and such. The party's plan is ASS so it'll be a good time.

reminder: It is illegal to use a device like the Allmiibo ($12) to skirt around the $30 greed of a $4b company UNLESS of course you own every Amiibo and manually scanned them into the Allmiibo (after wiping it because it comes preloaded with all of them) you should never do this

@disturbedarty.bsky.social Hi, I'm very sorry to bother you, but is there any chance you could change something in the ttrpg feed? It pulls in any instance of "dnd", even in the middle of words, which means it pulls in a lot of youtube links not related to TTRPGs, clogging up the feed a lot.

This PlayStation patent submission will never stop being funny.

Thing most people probably already knows, but assuming you're playing trad ttrpgs, the other people's turn is for figuring out what you're gonna do on your next turn. Don't sit around idly while waiting for your turn. Read your spells, figure out who to attack, get the right dice ready, etc. #ttrpg

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

firefox AI and slop disablers from tumblr for the people from local hero mckitterick. Tried it on my end and the browser is significantly faster now (copy paste-able in the alt text)

hey americans i got ya something to be thankful for right here

Hot take, but [thing pretty much everyone in the hobby agrees with]

Just so it's clear. It's not allowing AI because it's trying to create a clean dataset for training AI. It's not because any of the involved parties actually care about human created art. Demons can lie to you. You have to rebuke them categorically, rather than fold when they say the right words.

i figured i should make a post about this since its kind of important and i wanted to get the word out

Starting the conversation with talk about something everyone is very interested in, but slowly, secretly, and slyly making it devolve into bohrokposting.

A PbtA MC was arrested last month for repeatedly making the consequences of success-at-a-cost worse than failing outright. At the trial, the judge initially wanted to sentence them to 40 sessions of Dungeons and Dragons 5e, but he was talked down to just execution by lethal injection instead.

Saying “reading books in public is performative” is a very quick and simple way to communicate to me that you are a stupid little pig I do not need to listen to and in that sense I appreciate it

The Jungian Shadow the Hedgehog

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖 Hint. Fucking. Hint.

if you use latin in your ttrpg game, it makes it scarrier

What's something messed up my players can find frozen in the ice? #ttrpg

#SaveSpeech starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again! stop-paypros.neocities.org

"I only play tieflings/kobolds/kenkus" actually *is* a personality, but it's not the kind of personality you think it is. #ttrpg
