"new cryptid just dropped" no, the internet just invented a personality for a disabled raccoon and people are trained to map constructions of monstrosity onto disability. sorry to be a buzzkill. the points about caring about disabled animals more than disabled people are right on, too.

A24’s ‘Elden Ring’ Film Stalled After Red Phantom Named TwinkPunisher Invades Set https://theonion.com/a24s-elden-ring-film-stalled-after-red-phantom-named-twinkpunisher-invades-set/

I've written several thousand words about this fucking crowdfunding campaign and this is the funniest part by a country mile.

This rule? In the RPG Zephyr? Owns

The backgrounds make me think that they're trying to lean on Frazetta, but I don't know if I'd call that erotic either. I've always felt that he was horniest for the subtle play of light on all human curves. Let's see some more back muscles!

I made a reddit post www.reddit.com/r/rpg/s/7EYH...

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane look at some kinda gross stuff! Deathbringer is ENWorld's most-anticipated RPG of 2026, it's currently raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also the marketing is kinda full of misogyny. magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

Never forget that reddit is for consumers and consumers deserve nothing

A lot of people are talking about the subreddit's asinine rules against "self-promotion" (which can include "simply talking about a game in any context") but I will also say, personally, that I have never seen any RPG-related reddit post that made me go "oh wow, they're cooking over there"

can't stop thinking about this profile picture

You'd think "don't use a fictional creature as an allegory for oppressed minorities AND as a horde of vile automatons that it's always okay to kill in the same work at the same time" would be a no brainer, but roughly 70% of all works featuring goblins and/or robots demonstrate otherwise.

we have suffered + had our own lives be put on hold trying to resolve this (me alone, I'm in nursing school, I care for a sick elder + recovering physically/mentally from doing medical missions in Gaza with Doctors W/O Borders) and this article is giving us a fraction of the vindication we deserve.

Jay treated me n everyone else involved like hangers-on while using our ethnicity + marginalizations to boost her clout, and when it was time to get the money she lied to us, sicced lawyers on us, and refused all communication while flying off to the art commune her dad owns in Columbia

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Seek Gravelord Nito, the Witch of Izalith, and the traitor Seath the Scaleless.

IN CONCLUSION personally, I believe the ENnies would be much improved if they strictly limited submissions to RPG books that were 1. hardcover 2. 8.5" x 11" / A4 3. at least 100 pages 4. in full color at least that way we'd be more honest about what was happening here

PRODUCT OF THE YEAR I say it every year, but it’s hilarious to me that the grand award at the ENnies is not for “game,” “rules,” or “writing,” but rather “product.” another bad joke. it’s Dolmenwood, though, followed by either of Herrero’s books

ISLE OF THE DEEEEAAAD

Pretending to be a lord actually is scary to these players because suddenly you're making big sweeping decisions that affect a lot of people. The power gained is impossible to disconnect from the obligation that comes with it. Much easier to be a wandering merc that stomps whoever you're told to.

Hate to say (no I don't) but I think the "power" fantasy of DnD isn't the freedom to exert your will it's the freedom from consequences

you can tell it's dire when the world cries out in unison, blessed be belgium

this might be the funniest football fuck up ive ever seen how do you even get yourself in this situation

if you want a picture of the future of queer art, imagine a fuck ai sign on a stall selling d&d 5e merchanise— forever

they should have deltarune ch6 be a tournamnent arc thats unrelated to anything just to piss people off

"you might think that only trans people are affected by constant hate-based legislation against their medical care, education, bathroom use, and participation in society in general, but WATCH OUT! real people might get hurt too"—you can just not post this. you do not have to. it's fine to don't

women kissing each other reblog if you agree

killing is the only thing that brings me joy anymore

me and the other t girls with self esteem issues hanging out behind the unpainted building where we make our overcompressed remixes of pink floyd, you know, bricks brickwalling another brick in the wall at the brick wall

Best of luck with your pilgrimages or missions or whatever you do.

Speaking honestly, I must say that I'm at my very limit. There's no more work to be done.

I'm begging for Carlists to add an ounce of blockchain to their politics.

One spot left before our session zero on Monday!

I'm running a game of Stonetop on StartPlaying! If you're interested in joining us, I'm looking for two more players who are ready to venture out into the wider world to defeat threats to their home and bring back resources to improve the lives of their friends and neighbors.

you desperately wish you were on my couch watching NIN off my plex server

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

Keh heh heh heh...

I'm currently the ONLY person on StartPlaying offering up a game of The Between! Have you ever wanted to be a Victorian era monster hunter with a dark and mysterious past? Do you like things getting WEIRD during session? Come join us!

I heard good things about this game from people in my LGS and decided to take a look and when I read the "Dark Caribbean" section, I put it down and frankly lost a lot of respect for the designer and the people I knew who played it (cont.)

So, the other thing that has been burning a hole in my head lately: Pirate Borg drives me crazy. I hate that it uses the Carribean (sorry "the Dark Carribean, ughhh"), without really talking about the indigenous ppl (all gone when we got there!) or chatel slavery, both of which are important.

this thread brought to you by getting a promotional email for Masks 2e from Magpie a day after they officially abandoned Cartel, haven't fulfilled Fallen London or Temeraire, and have been apologizing to Urban Shadows 2e backers for years now

few things make me madder in the TTRPG space than companies running a crowdfunding treadmill where they're constantly taking on new obligations in order to pay for all the shit they owe from previous ones
