There's a principle on Wikipedia that you're supposed to provide specific facts that can be sourced, and you're not supposed to synthesize statements from multiple sources (they call the latter "Original Research") Search engines = the former, and must NEVER be the latter

OK, It's that time. <slams hand on the desk> Tell me ( and others) about your dope TTRPG!!! Include links.

As someone with asthma living in one of these affected areas, I am begging you to wear a mask if you'll be outdoors for any length of time.

Raffi you’re so right

As someone who grew up in an annual wild fire area, if you’re broke buy a filter and duck tape it to your box fan and it should give you some reprieve at home. Also helps with pet allergies tbh Link to different versions to make👇🏽 cleanaircrew.org/box-fan-filt...

If this be Thursday…

An object lesson in the current direction of the Democratic party and who it needs to listen to

Reading Champions Now finally and having my "oh no" moment as I realize how throughly it's connecting with my inner RPG sicko on so many levels

Only 67 book backers until everyone gets More Art in the form of a new map in the book! Corey's maps a very cool, and I am excited to see what he makes. Looking ahead, if we hit 24K in the next 8 days, I get to give all three artists a bonus, which would ROCK! www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

Chainmail bikini games ain't the ones getting demonetized and pulled from itch dot io or banned from crowdfunds. So are they really pushing the edge or are they just aligned with the same folks who decide where that line is after all? Sitting in the center crying as if they're at the margin.

Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

we should obviously strive for clarity in our work but a not insignificant percentage of your readers will always (erroneously) assume one of your characters is a horse, and no amount of explanation or exposition will prevent this

YES!!!!

much like tabletop games I think every fighting game is full of custom-made flaws that cannot really be fixed without making it a different game than it actually is, and you just gotta find the game where the flaws don't bug you too much

I Have a Mouth And I Must Ice Cream

ICE agents shouldn’t be executing people on the street even if they ARE the target of the warrant

The nice thing a lot of people don't know about is that there are "live USB" Linux installations you can get. You can boot from the USB and try out the Linux distro and see if you like it or not. They come with install applications on the USB so you can decide to full install after trying.

"That's what I do, that's not who I am." Something writers have to remember too. Sam Neill seemed like a very thoughtful, talented guy.

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Shout-out to the writers for giving us a genuine plot twist this morning, especially after keeping our attention on the Weekend at Mitch's subplot

Funniest possible breaking news banner on this amazing headline from a few months ago

Today I learned just how easy it is to disappear my money when I'm at a book festival and go "hey I could do gift shopping"

“Do you ever stab people or do you think about stabbing people sometimes?” < small blonde child behind me in line.

“Then I have the perfect game for you. It’s called stabby.” should I be concerned.

Your reminder to buy yourself a Death of the Heart cassette tape 🙂‍↕️

This is a form of maladaptive play that has been inculcated by a culture of the extremely punishing, fiddly mechanics of D&D which has basically taught multiple generations of TTRPG guys that if they don't play optimally, they WILL be murdered, and it's gonna take decades to un-learn it

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

This is from Swords Without Master; but, you know, this could apply to many games. I don't know if it is critical to reveal what the dice do in your game to your players. I can imagine designs where obfuscating that is fun. But it's good to stop every so often and remind yourself of their purpose.

oh, man, this is great. finally a Senate candidate without a bunch of skeletons in his closet. hear he did really well with the big storm a couple years back

Writing truly trues in at this very moment in time is a bit weird. I'm sitting over here trying to cleverly reword the rule "Don't fucking use AI slop for your eidolons" so that it'll sit nicely with the rest of the text of Swords Without Master.

The casting sheet for Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters:

Mamdani won 65% of the vote of young men between the ages of 18 and 29. (circle.tufts.edu/latest-resea...) It's grimly fascinating (and revealing, and unsurprising) how his own party doesn't use him as more of an example of how to reach young male voters.

It's so funny to me that we now live in a time when people will ask for anime recommendations and someone can just say "FMA Brotherhood" without provoking a flamewar

Erling Haaland is a little stinker 😆 Look at his face! He knows what he’s done.

Uggggggggggggh

Believe Women is an epistemological stance. It doesn't mean you assume that every single woman is telling the truth and women never lie. It means you understand that in the system that we exist in, there's much more risk and pain for women coming forward about abuse than there is anything to gain.

Shout-out to the Discord devs for creating a top 10 awkward moment with "hey, why does my screen shake when I try to react to X"

I think we should hold one-shots in higher regard compared to campaigns and normalise just playing a short 2 hour game with a start and end like you would a boardgame

Between the time Swords Without Master was in Worlds Without Master issue 3 & the rise of the fix-up, I made the switch from Dark Magicks to Regretful Magicks and, folks, all other concerns aside, it's better: more explicit, more evocative, less trite. Any excuse to examine your language is a gift.

Is there a Bluesky feed for TTRPG Twitch streams? If so, I'd love a link.

I don't think Platner is a plant. he's just your run-of-the-mill misogynistic, racist leftish dudebro.

it's so cool that undertale came out like five years ago and deltarune ch 1 came out like last year or something not gonna look any of that up
