God the new Halo remake looks so ass. Fuckin blurry cinemaslop shiny greeblecore noisy upsampled raytracing 30fps Unreal Engine 5-ass dogshit. Original from 2001 genuinely looked better.

Rob Carver, illustrator for early editions of Tunnels & Trolls, and creator of this iconic T&T image, has passed. Condolences to his friends, family, and colleagues.

I mean I'm pretty sure *some* other people remember Mighty Orbots. That theme tune was a fucking banger.

It is happening again.

Dan is ace and a total gent to work with. The pieces he did for Decree are an absolute delight, but all his work hits just as hard.

I met God, she was a werewolf

Would be real nice if the OP attributed the artist he lifted this from. This was made by my friend Liam who is a young working queer artist. If you want to check out his work, he posts a bunch of it on Instagram: www.instagram.com/picturesidrawn

Asserting that designing RPGs is an artform, while also asserting that 'objective rules discussion' is the only viable topic of debate is frankly deeply unserious patter.

No one can stop you from making your games look like this.

Age yourself with a childhood crush. (Yep, both of em)

Tbh I think we all need to spend less time and effort on this wretched site insisting upon ourselves so hard.

Oh no, RPG rules discourse is happening again youtu.be/IMQADg1Dp9g?...

I am in this area too, what they're proposing will be absolutely disastrous for Scotland's renewables transition.

They should put ducks in every RPG

One day the sadness will end. Until that day I must endure finding out that every indie game that looks fun is in fact a roguelite.

just in case you ever feel you're not good enough, this is from an old conversation with John Blanche as he and i discussed imposter syndrome a few years back go well, John. you fucking rocked

struggle at the dam

Me: "Aw crows are so cute, look at em" Crows: "WARK WARK WAAGH WEEGH WAARGH WARK WARK WARK WAAGH WEEGH WAARGH WARK WARK WARK WAAGH WEEGH WAARGH WARK"

Yeah, this one stings a bit. RIP to a true legend.

Forbidden Lands Hyperspace D6 OD&D Ruin Masters

We had a newly fledged crow land in our garden last night. He's absolutely fine, but has decided he's going to stay put for a while.

Blorbo and the OCs would be a good band name.

You just have to look at the list of trustees in every national museum and gallery in Britain to realise that there is a crisis in working class representation when it comes to the governance of these organisations which are funded by us all.

Microsoft and Nvidia announce the Sloppotron 5000: "We will put you on a government watchlist if you do not buy one"

I think TTRPG actual plays adapting a game to their needs, making rulings on the fly and allowing space for player imprivisation is good, and I hope that continues to embolden people to run the kind of games they enjoy.

Me, unironically

I know everything sucks rn but I gotta call attention to Xbox being a priority BDS boycott target MS is super complicit in Israel's genocide against Palestinians, and boycotting Xbox is a way we can fight it I'm not buying another Xbox-published game until they're off the list.

For any friends who live near me: They are planning to build an absolutely gargantuan hyperscale datacentre not far from where I live. We all know how catastrophic this will be for the nearby environment from our pals in the US. This must be stopped.

The biggest problem with AI isn’t that it will end the human race it’s that what it produces is absolute shite and it can’t even answer a simple question truthfully or accurately. It’s the greatest con since Bernie Madoff and I can’t believe so many have fallen for it.

The toybag school of RPG design remains undefeated imo

"let people enjoy things" is over. we must want things to be good

more people should play classic traveller

More like touching your dick and immediately experiencing profound post-nut ennui

some of my favourite chara designs from the past few years. I'm currently open to work, so hmu if you need character/creature design for your project. reposts are always greatly appreciated!

The most antifascist RPG is the one you run at your table, and where you forcefully eject anybody who turns out to be of fascist sympathy.

"Acclimation to mass death—and the devaluing of humanity in general—is the primary purpose of all AI and techno-futurist propaganda" @joshcaress.bsky.social writes.

No new album from Front Line Assembly or any of its many sideprojects? Bill issue.

Finally, a good post about game design

Knocking back a cool, crisp Red Bull on a very slow day, a great time to remember that everyone secretly hates you and are actively plotting your demise. These thoughts are very real.

UKGE running cover for sloppers? Quelle surprise.

As a deeply insecure person for whom neither drugs, therapy, or being in a long-term relationship has helped, I am more convinced than ever that I need a court vizier to provide me constant reassurance and definitely not subtly manipulate me towards committing horrific transgressions.

More fantasy RPGs need to look like this.

They're calling it Unreal Engine 6 because you'll need 6 people on your team to optimise the shader pipeline so your game doesn't run like shit ayooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Thinking about Phil Hale and that weird series of paintings he had where some guy would be fighting with unseen robots, in what I think is some fantasy California

Back to working on Decree in earnest. Had to take a break earlier this year as I was incredibly burned out and couldn't face doing anything RPG writing related. Glad to be out of that rut now. Doing what is hopefully the final development pass on the rules before I call it as done as it can be.
