"I asked Chat GPT and -" ok, I asked the exhumed corpse of Pope Formosus during the Cadaver Synod and he went "... ... ..." and then his jaw fell off and it was still a better answer

"thin places" are locations where the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds is said to be particularly thin.

Been saying this for a while!

Diane, I spoke with a Shadow THE Hedgehog today. He said he was "the ultimate lifeform," and you know, I think I believe him. He did things with a chaos emerald you wouldn't believe! He kept mentioning a Maria -- influencing the ultimate lifeform, now that's a character I think I'd like to meet!

"For 30 years, Pokémon fans have paid for moments that feel like they’ll last forever, but just like toys that get worn down over time, the digital-only media will be gone before anyone realizes it." @otomeniki.bsky.social reflects on Pokémon's digital ephemera:

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March! It helps us a lot if folks sign up for prelaunch. Please do and help spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

New Blog Post: 'I've Been Thinking About Starting Things: Lessons in starting open world campaigns from Skyrim' Wherin I discuss starting an open-world TTRPG game, and dissect the opening of Skyrim for actionable ways to start such a game effectively. orthopraxy.bearblog.dev/ive-been-thi...

Hey! I'm running this game! Quite the different vibe from the game I ran last season (Brindlewood Bay), but if you've ever wanted to try an old school high-lethality open world game (and you live in YEG), this campaign will be a great place to start

Oh what's this? 👀👀👀 I wonder what the games will be? I certainly have no insider knowledge here whatsoever ☠️🦜🏴‍☠️

A new edition of Good Society is set to grace the ton! With revised rules and additional sumptuous art, this new edition will be useful, usable and scandalously good looking. Check it out and help support this unique game of regency romance, scandal and drama! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

Public Access is coming to Kickstarter soon, and if you have a podcast, stream, blog, etc., I'd love to come talk to you about it! I'm great on the mic, and a really good interview. Get in touch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau...

Not Me having just given away my physical copy of a game, only to be talked into running a campaign of it a few days later... Anyways, does anyone know when Pirate Borg will be back in print?

i am barely a blogger, or really even a presence, but if anything i wrote last year was worthy of anything bloggie-able, it woulda been this. knock me out in the first round and i can nap happy

Oh god I have *Thoughts* about the Markiplier movie...

I write lowered literary fiction. Just complete garbage about adulterous college professors having midlife crises

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

How do we see the future? Is it an expansion of possibility and imagination, a canvas on which we can paint anything? Or is the future a contraction? A place where ideas are bound by the spaces we’re given to create them — a place that determines what we’re allowed to dream youtu.be/F0K2DnI1TDk

A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain. A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones. The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...

System both does and does not matter. Water is both necessary to life and dangerous. You are both a good and bad person. You can hold two things to be true at the same time. You can understand context and application.

“Am I language policing here? Sure, why not. I think the original sense of the word matters and is worth preserving, worth insisting upon. I think zines, as a non-luxury print media are important.” The man that brought you “Fuck You Design” brings you a rant about fancy-ass zines.

I take back my earlier RT celebrating Wikipedia's anniversary. This move betrays every editor. Your reminder to keep a local back up of pre-2020 version of Wikipedia and keep it safe We've never needed the wisdom of the Ancient Scrolls more arstechnica.com/ai/2026/01/w...

Not RPG related but A student found my personal phone number *by asking AI for it*. Our school runs on Microsoft. He asked Copilot how he could contact me. And Copilot *pulled my home phone number from my employee files.* What's next? My address? Christ, the privacy nightmare........
