Happy Bday!

BIRTHDAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Random thought: Most people think of love bombing as a Red Flag, but that's cause most people don’t run infinite grenade builds.

Saying you value someone’s work, and actually valuing someone’s work are two very different things

Abolishing ICE isn't good enough. Get rid of the whole Department of Homeland Security.

I shared the video that Catie posted in her thread with a friend of his that I follow on Instagram, who was looking for any and all footage of @nurdrocks.bsky.social's capture. She let me know that he has been located, is with family, and receiving medical care.

If you are in the tabletop industry/ecosystem and you have been impacted by ICE, DM me or email me at [email protected]

Slightly Diminish A Game: Anxiety.

If there is a Second American Revolution. Then let my name be on the first page of those killed in open combat, and I pray it won't be because of alphabetization. My life has no purpose, but my death can mean something.

Not that controversial of a take. But even a lot of the comments supportive of this POV are ignorant and detached. If the go-to for this is "yeah, there are school shooter drills" or such, you're hitting WAY off the mark. (Hint: Lotta kids grow up around deaths & violence *even in the rich West*.)

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

Life is so infuriatingly fucking pointless man. I just got into a nasty argument with my mother about it and she's like " I can help " and for what? The only outcome for someone like me is to just move out and repeat what I'm doing in her house, but now with rent and LESS people to talk too.

Wana be a VA? A no fun list Learn: acting, about the industry, research as much as possible, to edit audio Obtain: the sexiest demo you can afford, gear you can afford that also reflects the gigs youre auditioning for Submit for: every animation/audio/drama/VN etc, make your own stuff if ya can

The state of my irl friendships today: Me: Hey, man. I am desperately lonely. I need some company. Would you mind doing this thing for me? I know you're not super into it, but I can't think of anything else we can do right now due to our unique circumstances. Her: Nope. And it's your fault. FML.

NOT ME UGLY CRYING TO A TIKTOK 😭 www.tiktok.com/@faaizvo/vid...

Fucccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.

I feel like the key is, like with any sort of "not all men" situation, just do your thing and if you think you have done your best to not be like the rest, then be happy with that. Just don't expect others to give you a thumbs up. Do it because you want to be good, not because you need to be liked

Make sure to balance out your righteous anger towards modern society in healthy, productive, and fulfilling ways. Tell your friend you love them. Write up positive reviews of things you enjoy. Go for walks and get some sun, or cuddle up with a pet . Don't be angry all the time, you'll burn out.

Most importantly. I was born, and thus hope for better games alongside my coming. Seriously though, jokes aside? Go play Paranoia, #ttrpg. It's one of the best games this genre will ever produce.

Really feeling this lately. Especially as a Black queer woman.

“Games are things we do for each other” I hate writing about DIE because multiple fuckers have already gotten all the good snappy lines and I’m just the historian doing cleanup duty.

Just had a dream I was in a Jason Vorhees movie. Was trying to explain to the cop JASON 101 and this nigga was not having itt. ACAB. Glad I woke up.

If it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch: I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

with respect: you can grieve the fact that your friend fucked up and even remain their friend in the aftermath of that while acknowledging the fact that harm was done and that people’s lives have been impacted. your friend can be your friend AND do shitty things; it is possible to hold both at once.

#TTRPG reviewers! Come and get it while you can as there are a limited number of physical review copies. #Tabletop #RPG #games #reviews #roleplaying

Why the hell am I not already following Jes on Bluesky?! Well, that's been corrected, and I've also submitted to this bundle. And you should too! Jes is trustworthy and amazing, and this isn't their first charity bundle. I suspect it won't be their last.

Soooo I got sucked into Path of Exile again guys. THIS FREAKING PULL YA'LL? That's like 4 uniques!

This might be releasing early next month depending on when Cringe Wizard backer rewards are done; either way I'm getting into promo now. If any TTRPG pals have experience and ideas they'd be willing to share I'd be grateful

weekly schedule :D more snarbor

What a pleasure this was!

Mutuals: I am working with some mutuals to make phone chain and check in plans, just in case. If you are nervous and scared, reach out to your communities. You can message me too! Hopefully we never use them, however planning to make sure someone knows you need help might make you feel better 🫂

"If you could press a button that'd give you a million dollars but every time you press it a stranger dies." Look, I'm running a big networking event. Ya'll get the one chance. Introduce me to whoever you need saved cause I'm finna tank the world economy.

www.instagram.com/reel/DTlst-F... Yo, @youngles.bsky.social they made this jawn for you, fam.

It's absolutely no joke the amount of stuff about game design I learned by getting really into fighting games. There's even a cross-game, cross-era glossary of terms. Made by players. DESIGNERS in TTRPGs can't even agree and come up with such a resource. We got much to learn. glossary.infil.net

2026 should be the year #ttrpg devs finally listen to me and picks up Street Fighter. Here me out. This is a community that is known for its METICULOUS research of the game mechanics. Like every competitive edge they can get? They are in the code, looking at the animation data, etc.

"System doesn't matter" is a shibboleth. You don't often hear it from Shadowrun or GURPS or Kids On Bikes players, for some reason, only dungeon fantasy inspires that cry, whether smooth or crunchy. It's a defense of tradition, not an intellectual argument seeking honest debate.

Good Morning 🌞 Today is the last day of sign ups for GMs and producers for this Black Love TTRPG event. Form will close tonight at 10pm PST

By the way, the shallowness and prickish demeanor ascribed to proclaimers of "System Doesn't Matter" is entirely their fault. Many of those people left social media by their own merit of being insufferable, and to talk about being vapid, an indie TTRPG store literally sells stickers with the slogan

I speak often of “juice and orchards” when it comes to the FGC. Most people care about juice. Who gets or earns the juice, or deserves to win a giant cup of juice. I don’t care about juice nearly to the degree I do about the health of the orchard, as the fruit it bears is the source of the juice.

cyclical ttrpg discourse is important not only because it brings new voices and ideas into old conversations but also because it allows everyone who has participated before to feel like a grizzled old veteran of being a ttrpg person on the internet

actually the cure for OSR brain may be learning in-depth fighting game fundamentals lmao

I'm taking that Ennie by storm. Why? Fuck ya'll that's why. It'll be my turn soon enough. No seriously, because I need the validation first and foremost. But it'd also serve as something I can point at and say "look, New dev. I had nothing too. You got this. Even being black and weird. You CAN."

i have decided to be the anti-jerry; maybe that will get me verified faster
