Wow, thank you to people for randomly following the campaign while Bluesky closed the gates! Now that it's open, you can walk along and join us on the way to climbing Mt. MORIAH! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

There’s only 10 days left to Last Hope’s Backerkit campaign! We have 3 unlocked Stretch Goals and we’re closing in on the 4th! It’s been an amazing campaign, but it can be even better!!

With the campaign coming to a close tomorrow evening at 9 pm BST, I take a look at one of the last remaining stretch goals, extra Character Options. And ask the question "Will there be Ducks?" 🤣 www.kickstarter.com/projects/645...

My lawless treetop setting is 5e / system agno and rooted in Romani culture & history. Includes new monsters, races, backgrounds, guilds, an arcane pit fight system (hex-slinging), secret tattoo language, game night recipe book and a one-shot murder mystery! www.dmsguild.com/en/product/4...

if you're in #ttrpg or #warhammer spaces, you should absolutely block the fuck outta this person. if you have five minutes and a strong stomach, report the account for Hate Speech, and flick through the Replies tab and report individual posts for the same or for Targeted Harassment.

here's a thought experiment about so-called genAI from my own industry (flood risk), about how it could be genuinely bad and stupid in a way that isn't just putting people out of work.

i am not an academic but my father-in-law and brother-in-law are. also i did co-author a paper once. anyway this new policy from arXiv is not only right and good but entirely necessary in a world where apparently many people are wilfully forgetting how to science.

new bestiary format just dropped

you should almost always ignore what i, particularly, say. i post with good intent, but little sincerity, on most days. recently my joy on socmed has mostly come from reposting other people's stuff.

the slug trap is a little old place where we can get together

the lifelong obsession with maximising the discount on meal deals has finally caught up with me as WH Smith in Tamworth services has charged me almost double for a meal deal and then refused to do a refund on it. i was so shocked by the attendant's actual rudeness that i've just walked away from it.

if i were Andy Burnham i would let Wes Streeting be PM for a bit and fuck it up royally, wait until there's a normal by-election and stand then, and be a better PM just before the next general election.

Things are tough right now please take a free horse. (I will refill community copies when they run out, taking a horse will not ever leave someone horseless) kumada1.itch.io/original-fin...

Fuller update on the Kickstarter progress this evening (BST) but in its first week the Wyrd Sword Kickstarter has funded both the main corebook and a standalone Quickstart adventure. If you want a cinematic BRP fantasy game that works to modern standards, check it out. Only a week to go. #ttrpg

dear @kickstarter.com, long-time backer and several-times creator. i know this isn't what your ban aims to do, but bans of sexual content always disproportionately affect queer people. i understand Stripe want you to do this, but the FCC told Stripe not to. don't throw queer people under the bus!

i had a look through the "S" section just in case they had yours truly (vain, i know) and found a particular entry for one particularly notorious shitheel which very much tried to say that the art justified the behaviour and, uhh, this site needs a white hat takedown.

Soothwardens is like if Jean Grey created a psychic link with Cyclops. And then she made one with Wolverine. And then she connected both of those so they all operated within the same empathic bond. Follow the kickstarter so you can support it day one (5/19🎂) TTRPG.link/soothwardens

one issue with the UK is that we like the idea of discount supermarkets so much, we tried to apply it to democracy. as a result, we got the current Labour government.

of all the long books I've read with our 8yo, which includes The Carpet People, The Bromeliad, and The Hobbit, the one they've enjoyed the most has undoubtedly been Watership Down. it's an absolute masterpiece of fiction. shies away from nothing, pulls no punches. it's vicious and glorious.

My new game, the Roots of Soledad, launched two days ago and is almost fully funded! So I'm super excited 😄 Soledad is a magical realism RPG, with lots of drama, supernatural weird things, and deeply human relationships. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

i have written ⅔ of the location flavour texts for the drover card game and it's been a process of love and joy (mostly). if you give me a number under 55 I'll reply with one. if you give me a number over 54 but under 82 then I'll still give you one but I'll have to write it up first.

Hey! You! I have a question for you. Are solo journaling games TTRPGs? I'm not asking for philosophy or taxonomic debate here. I just want to know, do YOU think of them as TTRPGs? Put it another way, do "solo journaling game" and "solo journaling TTRPG" mean essentially the same thing, to you?

The dawn shines on this morality play. Of pilgrims entreating the gods to spare ungrateful lives. Will it be you? Will you climb the mountain to protect mankind? ttrpg.link/moriah
