I wrote about the four main types of play environment in D&D: settlements, strongholds, dungeons, & monster lairs, the play experience provided by each, & how each exists on a gradient of complexity & agency which allows the scope of the campaign to grow alongside the player characters' abilities.

I’ve said before that the only ethical view of microblogging friends is Ben Affleck toward Matt Damon in Good Will Hunting - you love them and for that reason you hope some day they leave

I'm a terrorism scholar and this is exactly what we warn about when we say terrorism functions as a shibboleth, a password, a magic word which unlocks unprecedented state power and in turn excuses any state action.

I Will Play Wolves Upon The Coast This Year

masked, unidentified goons who assault and murder with impunity. a literal gestapo.

Interesting in joining THE MEAT GRINDER when it spins back up? Fill out this form to let me know! I'll be re-organizing things a bit to give us the potential for several groups that shuffle over time, if demand allows/requires! Here's the form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Good thread on benefits for America of USAID

death does not care if you believe the science or not, get vaccinated

Been rewatching Golden Girls. Grew up with the dub, it's crazy how different the sub is.

At what point do you decide that washing a dish isn't worth it and just throw it out because I feel like my threshold is ridiculously low.

When a blank page is too much for me, I dictate! I just turn on dictation and say whatever is in my brain out loud. I don’t even look at it, just brain dump. Then I at least have something to shape into a loose outline or notes for later. It’s very similar to having a rubber ducky in programming.

Speaking of Arthuriana, here are some Knights of the Round Table figures I drew up for Patreon some time back.

we have eyes on the rare labubu, mr vice president, i repeat, we have located the rare labubu

Telling my wife that I searched the Amazon reviews of the air filter we bought to troubleshoot it and then referencing a specific one star review that describes basically our exact same problems only to find out it’s her review.

It’s Bloggies Time! This is a thread of what I’m nominating, so you can, if you choose, read them and nominate them yourself! Firstly, please nominate something of mine that made an impact on you — a series like Critique Navidad or a single post like my Module-Writing Play by Play! Thanks! 1/🧵

Back to goofing with this guy cause I'm gonna need to two month the Big VoidFrame~ This kit was almost good for release, I just need to finish a few more bits~

Neighborhood teens are on quad bikes using Christmas trees to joust each other to determine who gets to shoot bottle rockets at me on New Years Eve.

I was just sorting all the pics I took over the summer when I sorted all the stuff in storage. Here's a little batch of small press comics from the 2000s.

How is @goblinpunch.bsky.social so consistently good? Very suspicious goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2025/12/secr...

Resvisting EYES WIDE SHUT and luxuriating in those Manhattan Christmastime set builds on the Pinewood studio backlot, man oh man. Production Designer Roy Walker had THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY out the same year, damn...

This quote is from a piece that’s 8 years old now.

Merry Christmas everybody

The OG vaults of vaarn is free on itch and the first page is a real masterclass on how to introduce people to an RPG setting

This just dropped, Marchebranche, the French game that Thomas Munier wrote and that I illustrated won « best indy game 2024 » of the French RPG awards. It is a nice surprise, thanks to Dystopia for the great work they did on the book (especially Laure who did the layout) It was good teamwork. :3

One of the most gorgeous games I've come across in awhile is Vaults of Vaarn. I love these kind of settings born out of a creators' passion for an imagined place. Ultimately, they're some of my favorite things about roleplaying games. vaults-of-vaarn-second-edition.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Blame is a real mood. Really making me want to re-run Gradient Descent.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

(Crawling out from under a pile of corpses, drenched in fluids) You know what Baby, It’s Cold Outside is about? (Distant gunfire. Left eyeball rolls into back of head) It’s about 2 minutes and 50 seconds too long. (Toothless smile. Sun explodes. The farce ends)

I read The Elements of Style every year, and this year—I’m certain—this year, more than 5% of it will stick.

the epstein files as rick owens fall/winter 2024

this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

thinking about this little passage from Richard Stark's Lemons Never Lie a lot lately. there's always a blowhard somewhere in the tapestry.

And Tiny Tim WHO DID NOT DIE

oh it's the 8 year anniversary of the biggest losers online getting mad at me for enjoying a good movie

There’s a specific mechanism in authoritarian movements that we’re seeing play out in real-time across American media and tech. It’s a simple rule: "If we cannot co-opt it, we must destroy it." It is the logic of "scorched earth." It's the logic of the Nero Decree and it's happening right now. 🧵

Alright, I've been going through this and it's probably my favorite thing I've seen come out of the RPG scene this year. It's detailed, personal, long, and focused on usability. It doesn't require much layout or art, but what's there is good. It makes me want to start playing immediately.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

In a zine making mood. Gonna zine while the Zine Gods are hangin' out with me.

I don't really like lotr but every year @riseupcomus.bsky.social makes me like it more and more.

If there is one thing I am nostalgic about, it is G+ campaigns. I love that Ram is reposting his old Carcosa play reports.
