Strange revelation while writing this one: I've never owned anything Street Fighter. I don't own any of the Joes, or any other Street Fighter toy. I've never owned a copy of any of the games. No t-shirts, not even parody t-shirts. The only money I spent on this brand was renting Turbo in my teens.

Fantasy is subjective, but arachnophobia is to whom it may concern.

You learn so much about your kids when you roleplay with them. For example, ends up my daughter has a talent for interrogation.

The only thing I like more than talking with Jason is screaming with Jason!

I don't read nearly as much as I'd like to, and part of that is that my mind tends to wander when I read most novels. For whatever reason, I could read Pathfinder novels. I may have read more Pathfinder novels than non-Pathfinder novels in the last thirty years, so I am excited that they're back.

I've been covering Pathfinder for so long, and away from covering Pathfinder for so long, that I've actually gotten nostalgic for it. And nothing motivates me like nostalgia!

This is the first message I've ever written on a smart phone with predictive text off. The predictions and autocorrects were getting so bad, I couldn't deal with it anymore. Tech's gradual decline continues.

Informal pole for my TTRPG friends: Box Set vs Boxed Set Which term do you prefer and why?

Stone Cold Steve Austin's dialogue bubble in this Entertainment Earth ad for their latest Funko Pops sums up my reaction to seeing him with the cast of Kpop Demon Hunters.

Kind of made me want to play a Metroid after the first.

Bad movie idea: Drew Barrymore's character from 50 First Dates gets caught in a Groundhog Day loop, doesn't notice.

There's a Perk in the Transformers RPG that gives mode locked Cybertronians an Alt Mode. At least, that was the intent. Technically the Perk is not limited to robotic PCs. A member of the Renegade Discord server asked what it would look like if a human PC took the Perk. So I made this diagram.

Credit to Charles for this episode's catchy title. I used to dislike the concept of a reroll resource, but Essence20 turned me around on it. I especially like that its a group pool. That turns every opportunity to spend one into a conversation about what's happening and what might be coming.

Always happy to see the #Essence20 Field Guide To Action & Adventures get some love. In this case, the ENnies are once again giving it some love by including it as an award-winning title in their Humble Bundle. www.humblebundle.com/books/awardw...

I was hoping for a character that I could use to show off the new Old Hand Advanced Role, but I didn't land on Nightwing until I saw that it was Essential Builds' second anniversary.

Pete Petrusha tells Danielle about adapting the bizarre detective noir comic for foodies, Chew, into a #TTRPG. The latest Game Design Unboxed is available now on the #KnowDirectionNetwork. knowdirectionpodcast.com/2025/07/game...

1-2-3 may make these rules easier to remember, but 1-2-5 or 1-2-6 is the healthier way to go, honestly.

If I can't make Gen Con in person, at least I know enough people sharing their experiences to feel like I was there.

This is my happy face!

I describe my art style as delightfully amateur. I guess the same can be said about my animations.

Do you understand how hard it is to write bombastic, over-the-top military fantasy prose for the G.I. JOE RPG without it sounding like I'm ripping it from the headlines?

Surprise!

I love how many random wikis have pages dedicated to Sgt Slaughter. www.mariowiki.com/Sgt._Slaughter

KPop Demon Hunters has been streaming nonstop in my home for weeks now, so naturally I built my favourite member of HUNTR/X in #Essence20.

I've been curious about #Essence20 Welcome To Night Vale since it was announced. I had a great time getting to the bottom of it with Carlos.

Can't wait for our Liberal Prime Minister to stop doing things the Conservatives ran on and start doing what he ran on.

I used to paint a lot of minis but I'm down to one a year, and the quality is all over the place. I'm really happy with how Sgt Slaughter figure this turned out. It makes me want to paint more minis. #GIJOERPG #Essence20

When so few can screw so much up for so many, those who fight back show what it actually means to be brave.

You don't want to know why the numbers dip down at one point...

Marvel comics question: Has Hawkeye ever fought Bullseye, and if so, did he point out the tactical error of dressing up in a costume with targets over your vitals?

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

There it is. The greatest garage sale sign I've ever seen.

I love when I start a build only pretty sure I can pull it off, then surprise myself with how well it worked.

Looking forward to seeing this expand and evolve.

Finally getting to something I've wanted to do with the network for forever: Highlight reels!

Do you know how hard it was to come up with 9 versatile heritages too ridiculous for #Pathfinder players to want to play? And don't act like you didn't consider rolling up a pile of rocks after reading this! #Pathfinder2e #PathfinderRPG #PathfinderArt

The thing no one tells you about living in a house full of women is how often you will sincerely and without comedic intent say "that's what she said" and then have to power on before your story gets derailed.

We get it, level 13 feels like the obvious choice for a horror session. The thing is, it's hard to scare your players when their characters are deadlier and more resilient than Jason Voorhees. #Pathfinder2e #PathfinderRPG #PathfinderArt #Fridaythe13th

The real BBEG is scheduling. #Pathfinder2e #PathfinderRPG #PathfinderArt

Perram liked to say that RPG play doesn't begin at the game table. It begins when you start thinking of the characters you'll create and the adventures you'll run. #Pathfinder2e #PathfinderRPG

You may be ready to mow your lawn, but your lawn has other ideas. #Pathfinder2e #PathfinderRPG

I love when I finish an episode of GDU and just need to design something.

New campaign is off to a great start.

Last Star Wars build for a while, or else I'll break my own heart that Renegade doesn't have this license.

Renegade Game Studios surprised #Essence20 fans by releasing the Transformers ONE sourcebook PDF today for anyone who preordered. renegadegamestudios.com/transformers...

I love that a planet introduced in the Star Wars RPG in 1990 went on to be a pivotal setting in one of the best pieces of Star Wars media ever. Source: starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ghorman

I know why bananas aren't slippery like in cartoons (the popular type of banana was greasy but went extinct). Does anyone know why cutting onions doesn't make me cry like in cartoons?

Found $20 on the ground after I left Free Comic Book Day, which paid for my Thunderbolts* ticket.

I don't do anything the easy way.

We got a new set of bowls a few months ago and I still haven't worked out the best way to fit them in my dishwasher planogram. Will update when there's a breakthrough.
