There are so many mythic figures that we didn't have space for in Scion books, and Chris is filling the gaps

After far too long in first drafts, then even longer in finals, I've finally got more solo community content out! Check out Hera's Daughters for Scion 2e, which gives you Callings, Purviews, Omens, Birthrights and Terra Incognita for Eileithyia, Enyo, and Hebe! www.drivethrurpg.com//product/568...

Hello art that could be straight out of Scion

Pssssstttt… hey, bud? Want a crazy deal on some rad Pathfinder and Starfinder community content? It’s almost that time of year again. Includes some art and monsters from your’s truly!

I feel like Dredge is gonna be one of those games like Eldin Ring, Zelda, and Assassin’s Creed that has a very strong influence on the stories I tell and the aesthetics they contain.

They will say the most absurd shit in public, but it's absolutely criminal to laugh when they do it. How dare you.

I watch Hong Kong martial arts and action movies, WH40k and GTA stuff, retro-tech channels, historical documentaries, classic anime, and Minecraft tutorials on YouTube. Apparently that makes me the demographic for AI girlfriend adverts. I hate this timeline so much.

Calgary creatives represent!

I don't put my foot down a lot, but I will kill any audiobook deal for my work where they try to slap an AI narrator on it. Narrators are artists. The greats have filled my heart with light on countless nights. They will not be replaced with slop.

I saw a post yesterday that I can't find but stuck with me—the world has been going through crisis after crisis for thousands of years. And in that time, people still made art, much of which we remember to this day. Our art is worthwhile and part of the human condition.

Reading this extraordinary story by Bradly Shankar about representations of Canada in video games absolutely made my day! Can’t wait for part 2!

You mean to suggest that the group who improperly accessed the voter's list may have been less than upfront about the number of people who used it? Well I, for one, am shocked!

If you ever considered using genAI: It is never too late to start creating art. But you need to allow yourself to be vulnerable. The first steps can be hard. Especially when you see the incredible work of artists with lots of experience as comparison. But they started at the exact same point.

Jeramy Farkas: I don’t want to be forced to do anything that makes kids less safe and feel this is not a pressing issue for most Albertans Rick Bell: That means you are a communist.

Today Smith revealed that multiple UCP staffers knew about the separatist data breach and none of them saw anything wrong with it. “It was just regular oversight of a regular opposition meeting” (Does Dani not know who the opposition is?) #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Once again, Changeling always gets a reskeet

"Suffering for your art" doesn't mean harm is necessary to express oneself, but rather that art can help yourself & others feel less alone by expressing that channeled suffering. It also refers to the process of art, which requires "suffering" unexpected changes to achieve a greater vision.

Share the last 4 #TTRPG you played and expose your gaming habits (Or don't. I'm not a cop) Starfinder 2e Curseborne Changeling: the Lost Scion 2e

This was actually something I was noting a while back but didn't comment on at the time. The only attribute with few classes is Constiution with just the Kineticist. If you include class features changing key attributes and classes that choose an attribute: 9 Str 9 Dex 1 Con 8 Int 3 Wis 7 Cha

Remember when Humble Bundle wasn't running genAI/LLM bundles at least once a month?

WELL, I guess it is Starfinder time again

co-signed!

So I have no intention of wading through the AI slop site. And while I think it is extremely overwhelmingly unlikely I'm on there... If I am could someone let me know please.

outlining the next article in this series (about all the various sources for BitD's lore other than the core rulebook) and it's actually managing to be significantly *more* homework than this entailed. i'm excited!

"Dr. Tanuki assured me it's definitely what human women want. I'm not sure why he had to include 'human,' but he's the doctor, so..."

Changeling always gets a real wet. Doubly so if Jax writes it.

There is no silver bullet to fixing the games industry across Canada--including tax credits. Looking at solutions that work best for small, medium, and large scale multinational studios is key to solidifying our long term success as an ecosystem.

AI makes everyone writers in the same way NFTs made everyone investors in art 😂

Give me your favourite Non-Trek performance from a Star Trek actor. I love Fall of Eagles and I will never get over this casting

So one thin I’ve gotten better at is seeing a bit blank space in an RPG and saying “let’s discover the answer to this.” It’s intimidating to have that level of control when writing on a shared game, because I want consistency with my colleagues. I have greater trust now that I will do it naturally.

Always nice when you get redlines back and your immediate desire is to start chewing through them.

The irony of the corporate bottom line is that workers with more money and more rights also make more money but keeping us in our place is way too important

Another unionization thought. Before we unionized at Paizo, we hemorrhaged staff. I am the only member of the 2018 editing team left at the company. By 2020, we had lost almost everyone. Then we unionized, and no editors have quit since. This is not a coincidence.

In a conversation about absurd body counts in Irish myth, someone reminded me I'd made this post once about a modern incarnation of Cú Chulainn's adolescence: Fight breaks out at local high school, leaves 150 corpses "There weren't even 150 people there!" remarks traumatized witness

It seems pretty clear to me that Smith's UCP won't hold anyone accountable for this if left to their own devices.

Pathfinder kineticists are at it again

Okay, I *think* that’s one more project out of the way… let’s see if we can’t finally get Hera’a Daughters on the Nexus before OPPCon.

There is a vital difference between what students BELIEVE education is (under the current system) versus what they WANT education to be if you talk to most of them for more than a few minutes. Which is why I always ask “what would you want to try or learn if you knew it was OK to suck at it?”

Remembering the days when an Alberta premier had to resign because she built a penthouse and her daughter and friend flew on the provincial jet to party in Arizona.

Hello writing (although I have passed on a couple projects in my day)

There are no words for this. Separatists have but 2.9 million people - including themselves - in danger because of a half-baked reactionary fantasy.

There is certainly no middle ground with my high school students. Some have tried using it on assignment. The rest passionately hate it.

Commission stuff for anyone interested ;3 I have 2 Slots per month available. For more examples of my work, check my Profile

Old Earth as the Garden of Eden from which we departed, and that Flaming Sword which turned every way was the exhaust plume of our stardrives, for it was to us, not those Cherubim, to whom God appointed the duty to keep the way of the Tree of Life.

Anxiety ribs

One of the most fundamental ethical tenets of of a librarian is to not judge patrons for the books they access, as they do not have context for why they are being requested. It is impossible to overstate how dangerous the president this type of data collection sets and how easily this could devolve.

Holy Hannah, my brain just flipped to Planescape mode for the first time in FOREVER

Time for a #TTRPGintro! I'm Chris, a neurodiverse educator and freelancer RPG writer. I've worked on a bunch of books, see some below! Games I play: Chronicles of Darkness, Pathfinder, Starfinder, Curseborne, Planescape, & Eberron. Find my public & patron posts here: patreon.com/EndDaysEngine

I am so so proud of my fellow game workers taking this big step to unionize their workplace. I've been there—it's terrifying! We should all commend their bravery and solidarity. Wizards of the Coast must do the right thing and voluntarily recognize their union.
