Weird Game Designer Facts #59 John M. Ford Mike Ford (as he was known to his friends, and I was one), was a multiple World Fantasy Award winning author, and a "writers' writer." Meaning "an author who was greatly admired by other writers" without every achieving great commercial success.

#portfolioday I like making guys and putting them in situations :3

Darrington Press confirmed that the HOPES AND FEARS expansion for Daggerheart will be available for early at GenCon 2026. There will also be preview events and their new familiar-themed board game. darringtonpress.com/gen-con-2026/

You couldn't rely on Diamond back in the '90s. There's a reason why marvel went bankrupt. Comic book distribution and book distribution has been stupid for years.

This is good news. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/hope-for-stopping-the-biggest-pro

It’s hot My joints are on fire But my floor is cool

This is one thing I will point out regarding all this. Free tools are great to get feet in the door and for in-play reference. I still think it's a mistake for Paizo to drop the official partnership with AoN, but at the same time, there's a reason this hobby ain't lucrative for people in it.

I've mostly said my peace about the whole AoN thing. My main complaint is the way they handle this, besides my other confusion as to why they're doing it, by making AoN Have to make the announcement themselves rather than the company explaining why it's just going to look bad. #pathfinder

Fan fiction writers: Okay, hear me out.

Behold, the Benedict Cumberblock!

Sandwich?

Let the good times Gnoll I guess #art #furry

You know what, I'm also going to boost this. I've used AoN for many years and I just subscribed to their patreon, they also have a donation link you can use.

This.

This is painful bloody truth. Fuck Diamond.

Those who are emailing @paizo.com about their absolutely shit decision to cut AoN out as a partner, do so civilly. Yes, unfortunately only one employee answers & reads the company official email. That is just another terrible choice, however, consumers have the right to air grievances civilly.

Ok, you can call me whatever you want, but I am going to say what I wanna say because all of this irritating stuff on my TL. I think folks could stand to give Paizo some good grace. I love the Archives of Nethys and will miss the priority access, but let's establish some facts:

@paizo.com this is not the way.

Out of touch billionaire that hasn't directed a movie since 2005 has bad take on AI. More at 11.

#ttrpg #shelfie update.

if you wanna know why everybody tied to gaming is now a gibbering maniac incapable of rationality, this is why. They need it to go up. They NEED it. But it can't. It can never go higher than 2021. Every act they take is to desperately claw above 2021, in the hopes the growth comes back. Like magic.

Isn't that how it's normally treated??

I...yes. yup. 100%

In Washington state, a proposed bill threatens to force all girls, but not boys, to undergo invasive, medically unnecessary genital inspections or hormone tests to play sports with their friends. Policies that seek to exclude transgender youth end up putting all youth at risk.

Stupid sexy goblins...and robots. I'm in the philla community for both. Goblin Androids are like the crack of meta romance options.

Hi!! #PortfolioDay My name is Syd! I am a disabled Transfemme mecha artist! My primary subjects are TTRPGS, Retro Anime, and character design! You can reach me on discord (shadefish) for project and commission inquires ^^

a big thank you to @bentobitt.bsky.social for doing this amazing art for the FIST GOTY BOX SET, which includes a poster and a hardcover rulebook, both with this design‼️💥 it's LIMITED EDITION and preorders close 8/31/26 so if you want one, hop on it now: fist-rpg.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

This art might sell me on buying a hardcover copy...

I had satellite Internet in the early part of the 2000s because the best local option was 9600 baud. Satellite was faster than that, but it was also very expensive and would go out when there were clouds and rain. It's rather better now, but absolutely still would not be my go-to.

Having been Very Online in the 90s is rough because half your core memories are like "yeah, this Flash video's pop culture deconstruction is amazingly topical even today, and I can never rec it to anyone because its premise is a level of homophobic ordinarily found only under laboratory conditions".
