Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

I created a subsite for my digital preservation stuff! allmyfriendsarestories.neocities.org/AParchive/di... It likely still has bugs, but all the stuff about the AP archive project, the SeriesSeeker project, and my general ramblings about digital preservation of AP will live here :)

Today is the day!!!!!! I’m so excited to bring this game to y’all! If you’re able to, please go support! ttrpg.link/soothwardens

Psst... 🤫 The eternally delightful folks at @euphoriaap.bsky.social are just 4 subs away from having a much deserved 500 followers on YT. Can you help them get there? 🚀 youtube.com/@euphoriaap?...

Thank you to everyone who supported, backed and shared Whole New World! Thanks to you, we hit 121% of our goal!! We are just $75 from our stretch goal to include additional art for our Arc 1 game 🎨 We got 8 HOURS LEFT! Can we smash that goal?! www.kickstarter.com/projects/one...

Watching the Gamechanger Kickstarter funding numbers tick upward is enthralling and overwhelming at the same time. This is UN. REAL.

Update #4 for Nostos is up as we enter the final 24 hours of the campaign! We are SO close to reaching our goal, so if you're on the fence about backing, please consider helping us make this game a reality!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hon...

We're in the last 36 hours of the DIE RPG: Metadungeon. If we hit 175k, Ill do a SECOND dungeon. I have two ideas I'd really love to do, and it's be great to make it possible. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

I am looking for 3-4 TTRPG channels/groups to join a 24 hour TTRPG charity stream raid train / streamathon to support Doctors Without Borders on Thursday, May 21! See below for times available 👀

Whole New World is now FUNDED 🌎 Thank you all for supporting and uplifting our love letter to worlds, games, people who make them and the people who play them ✨ We are so excited to share our plans for our stretch goals and the future of Whole New World! Thank you all so much for your support!

The end of the campaign is in sight, and we've decided to sweeten the deal! All backers will receive 10 Alliance dossiers on key paragons and villains regardless of pledge tier. This gives backers more lore and more resources for their own campaigns at no additional cost!

EVERYONE LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Um. We're at 98% with only $45 to go to hit our base goal!!! @valiantdorian.bsky.social and I are so grateful to the 70 people who've backed the project, and to do many more of you who have reposted, shared, and sent support our way 💙💚💜 @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social

I'm curious. When someone is curious about TTRPGs and asks you about them, what's your no-stakes elevator pitch?

HRT should be over the counter

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

From the @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social crowdfunder for the #DIE Megadungeon. I've never written a dungeon without at least one of these and usually at least three because I am a simple, basic man who is very easily amused. Find the crowdfunder link in the first comment if you want to click.

“It would be absurd to argue that having more psychiatric appointments 2+ years after *referral to a psychiatrist* was an indicator of issues with mental health.”

Just gonna put this here — a resolution inspired in part by @megueyb.bsky.social & @lumpley.bsky.social designing for their lives as parents of young kids, & my realization I play with a ton of dads but rarely moms — as do many of the tastemakers in games.

Just did a call with TTRPG folx * and I really should do more calls. I miss hanging out with creatives just because. 💙✨ Do you want to...? Jk jk...unless?👀 *(aside from Armaan and our pal Val)

Valiant Dorian's work and the work of others on this project such as @pmakesthings.bsky.social are phenomenal and highly recommend backing them. They only need $300 more to meet their goal.

At 85% now ✨👀 Please please share/repost/interact with our posts, we really want to tell you more about Whole New World : kck.st/4sWuuUX @valiantdorian.bsky.social

"At some point if the ship doesn’t turn around, maybe it will start taking on water or listing badly or hit an iceberg, or perhaps the iceberg has been there all along and is named Donald Trump."

It’s my birthday so you’re legally required to say something nice about me, donate to my St. Jude fundraiser, or buy me a birthday drink. Thems the birthday rules, and I’m the birthday them.

Same goes for literally anyone in absolutely any creative profession.

Every time one of my mutuals with a larger follower count reposts my stuff I get work, sales, followers. Even smaller accounts sharing my stuff directly translates to making my life more financially secure. If you're ever wondering if your reposts count, they absolutely do.

Recently, Armaan and I played Split Fiction (which I was gifted for Christmas) by @hazelightgames.bsky.social. It is so stunning in the sheer breadth of artistic styles showcased in game. It was immense fun to play, has so MANY worlds I couldn't get enough of.

I am so pumped to meet folks and support this cool new shop. If you are in the area please come hang out!

Extremely annoyed at the amount of AI pics of the astronauts landing when we have actual real cool pictures of it that we should be sharing
