Members of @uwotc-official.bsky.social described a May 28 meeting with Wizards of the Coast management as an all but forced hour of anti-union propaganda. It's the latest in a mounting campaign that workers told Rascal includes constant emails, letters, and forced training for Arena supervisors.

In Ex Materia, you go on *dives* (missions) to the surface of the Monad Anomaly in order to extract valuables to turn around and sell in order to pay off your colossal debt. One of the main things you're looking for are *resources*. There are five main types of resources.

We are 20 backers away from funding what's going to be a sick, 66-page #OSE entry adventure. We're got: - 1 demon-infested island - oodles of convicted heretics - the Inquisition that convicted them - 6 ideological forces vying over the island - 6 soulcrushing regions - a gateway into Hell itself!

“The Al is not just telling you what you want to hear. It is training you, one conversation at a time, to need less friction, expect more agreement, and become slightly less capable of handling a situation where someone pushes back on you”

The #D2 news is slowly filtering through my brain. I've more hours in D2 than in any other game by like a factor of 10. I've met some of my best friends through it. For the story of D2 to just end here is deeply unsatisfying, and my heart goes out to the Bungie devs who love the game like I do.

one of my favorite bits of treasure to dole out is a massive solid gold throne

OSR is improv that's desperately convinced it's trad

A piece for "Indulgence Scorned." "Mad Meg" would very much like to go on her katabasis, beat the shit out of whatever Archdevil is down there, and then go back to as normal a life as can be had. Shame it got so political. God forbid a woman go be the Doomslayer with five of her pals.

Would you like a sick-ass, 66-page low-level #OSE adventure (replete with random tables) set on an island sandbox overrun by Hell and those convicted by the Inquisition for just $9.99? @brianyaksha.bsky.social and I are just 30 backers from funding. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... #osr

An island like Perdition's Cage, with a drowned Leviathan providing a gateway straight to Hell, is of interest not merely to the Inquisition but also to all those looking to display their wealth - few can claim they possess the scales of a Hellbeast, after all. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w... #OSR

alternatively, are you an adult toy/accessory/video/etc. brand looking for an ad to be illustrated like a 1920s magazine engraving, but filthy? cause i’ll do that for a grand or two.

debuting at TCAF - forest witch!! a 30+ page zine full of original comics + a interactive mix tape portion :)!!

The Bootcutters: convicts all, the tarnished, the unwanted. Deposited on an island full of demons and promised the way back to their lives was to kill demons and expunge the sinful effigies of their superiors. And they believed those promises. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w...

I gotta say, the struggle to not make something look like a Mork Borgy type of thing is very present; leaning into the comedy of the "fuck you for trying" circumstances helps a lot. WIP for the Psaltermen; the faction of smugglers who are totally not just some Inquisitors doing a side-hustle.

forgot that when u make wearable stuff u can actually wear it wow !! bandanas are v big but comfy !

ammm going to be staring down a almost 4K bill on my cc card on top of my already accrued debt bc have to pay out of pocket for a pet scan so uh shop sales + shares are appreciated !! michiums.bigcartel.com

OKAY!! Up from zero. Supposedly I was refunded but I checked my account and nothing yet (not even my paycheck 💀) so thanks for the buffer of safety.

Brian's projects are like being offered a sandwich by a foodie friend. You know it'll be made with love and nice ingredients, but you still find new ways to be surprised by the the taste of the homemade bread, the 2 inches of fancy deli meat and the greens they grew on their balcony.

Today I will hopefully be finishing up the tables for this project (nearly half-way funded). Therapy in the afternoon, meetings throughout the day. Things certainly picked up fast in my life. I'm hopeful to have some free time this weekend to hammer out some other things; but this is a med week.

"One woman makes a din, two women a lot of trouble, three an annual market, four a quarrel, five an army, and against six the Devil himself has no weapon" Will you be one of the fated 5 to join "Mad" Meg, and venture into Hell as the vanguard of the Final Crusade? www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w...

"For too long, the university has ignored the wisdom of the donor class and hired based on academic excellence. Regrettably, this has led to the underrepresentation of discredited viewpoints in elite higher education." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wer...

Time and time again, in our struggles for civil and human rights, one tactic has proven invariably effective. Hit 'em in the wallet and hit 'em hard.

For folks using Shopify, they recently forced all your products into their Agentic (as in AI Agents) sales channels. @rrookstudio.bsky.social is in the process of turning ours off and disabling it. You should go do the same. Reposts appreciated for community visibility.

if you don’t need work commissioned, but would still like to support me and my art, you can give to my ko-fi here: ko-fi.com/jnbutlerart

Ellie's latest crowdfunded game is now live! Check it out!

Hey #TTRPG you should absolutely go back this project. Danielle does absolutely incredible work, and this looks like it's going to be amazing

Additionally for Demon Month, I'm doing the art, some tables and editing on a project with Danielle Osterman which is going to be a nice little digital only with the sort of utilities you expect of me. Has some fun things upcycled from works I never published over the years, edited to form for use.

And we're live! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/w...

Only 30 minutes into it, but Stonetop sounds really amazing. Also, Kala Mandala got a small mention! :D

Counting down the minutes until Indulgence Scorned launches! I'm tremendously proud of the work Brian and I have done on this, and I think it's going to be a damn fine adventure. Follow here to get the alert when we do go live! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

🔥 OSE Month is LIVE on BackerKit! — & the theme is DEMONS! A Collab-Funding event led by @exaltedfuneral.bsky.social & Necrotic Gnome feat the Demonic Grimoire + sister projects from top OSE creators. New monsters. More realms. More fun. Join the battle now!👇 www.backerkit.com/c/collection...

Working on Indulgence Scorned with @brianyaksha.bsky.social has been kinda funny - I've been running OSR games for years, and my earliest work is for the OSR (and MG2e is secretly an OSR game), but this is the first time I'm releasing an actual OSR adventure. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #OSR

Some further working on the map for Indulgence Scorned. Been working myself dead lately. After this week, I get to take a small breather before pouring myself back into everything. Shockingly taking a day for myself actually helped my brain out a good bit.

We're also working to support designer Rae Nedjadi, who has recently been released from the hospital. If you've enjoyed any of their games (like Apocalypse Keys, Once More into the Void, Our Haunt, etc.) you can support or donate at patreon.com/swordqueenga... or ko-fi.com/matthewarcilla

Other thing I'm on for #DemonMonth; doing art, editing, and ample tables.

IT'S BEEN 10 YEARS????

I'm working with @brianyaksha.bsky.social to make an OSE adventure! It'll be crowdfunding over the month of May. Check it out: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #OSE #ttrpg #OSR #IndulgenceScorned

There’s an increasingly rare type of longform journalism I appreciate, which is a methodical unpacking of the catastrophic systemic failures behind a particular tragedy. Langewiesche was particularly great at this; the below is one such piece.
