Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching. secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

We’re lining up all the things for the launch, and it’s going to be cool. Also hard and sharp and agro and weird.

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help. We need more black TTRPG designers.

If you're thinking about going to Metatopia you should fill out the panel/workshop/seminar proposal form! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

The Griot Anthology is coming to print! Follow Thoughtcrime Games below to know the moment it drops, or join us at #PaxUnplugged to grab your copy of this zine celebrating the brilliant work of black #TTRPG game designers in person. thoughtcrimegames.it...#PaxUnplugged#TTRPG

Quick breakdown of how government services work: Govt creates service Service costs money to run Taxpayers shoulder costs of service collectively Economy of scale and lack of profit motive allows service to meet more needs, cost less than market options. Citizens and businesses benefit.

"Canada Post is on track to lose money" Hum. Duh. It cost less than a toonie to send a letter across Canada. "Canada Post is a service and not a business" was common knowledge until late stage capitalism brain rotted most people into think if it ain't making money for shareholders, it's failing.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

If anyone wants to show solidarity with striking workers, guests are always welcome on a picket line! Show up with a pack of timbits and ask the workers about why they're striking. You'll get the real story and they'll likely appreciate the support.

All the reporting says Erik Siebert was loyal MAGA. But because he wouldn’t bring bullshit charges against James and Comey, Trump quickly threw him under the bus, casting him as a deep-stater beloved by Democrats. They don’t learn. There is no way to serve in this administration ethically.

As a crew of DJs, breakers, MCs, and graffiti writers, your art helps you heal & deal with the stress of life, but that same art can do more. It can move those around you. It can shake up the system. Grab the Five Fires (Ashcan Edition) #ttrpg and you can change the world! thoughtcrimegames.it...

Any indie #ttrpg creators in the Toronto area down for an interview in the next couple of weeks? I've got a paper I'm still figuring out the parameters for (probably about creating and refining an indie ttrpg) and I need interviewees! Alas, it does have to be in person, so no one outside the GTA.

Conversation last night made me realize that I can appreciate maps and the work that goes into them but every time I make them I get frustrated because I have such a reactionary style of GMing that I feel super constrained by a map. Don't know what's in the city other than themes and ideas.

When the sky opens up, and the rain comes down, and the soul of the player runs through you then you will know the true spirit of roleplaying *deep breath* that spirit will power your brain, and your heart, and your mouth and you will deliver lines that will sear into the brains of your enemies

NEW EPISODE ALERT

Excellent, domain name changed and now I'm back to my domain handle! Yay internet!

We are now in the last 48 hours of our Cyberpunk RED sale over on @drivethrurpg.com. To celebrate the release of Single Player Mode, you can find all titles for Cyberpunk RED available at 50% off, with even the Cyberpunk Edgerunners Mission Kit on sale! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

I think the reality is that cyberpunk exactly describes the current moment. We got exactly the future cyberpunk predicted in the 80s. Actually, the only thing we didn't get is the aesthetic.

I make RPGs with elegant mechanics and strong themes and they're all on sale for September only! GETTEM jen-adcock15.itch.io

I wrote another fiction piece for SlugFest Games. This one features Baelfire, one of the villains of the Battle for Greyport series of games!

And now I have just beat the Last Judge. I am … going to take a moment for myself here.

The type of speech most punished in this society is that which consists of telling the truth about how the powerful have harmed you

I sure can, we just called them forums.

In a possible future... Soldiers are shooting American protestors in the streets. Cities are being consumed by civil war. My inbox pings with a message from ... the Democrats! "Steve, this Un-American Violence is why it is VITAL that we reach our quarterly fundraising goals..."

// PROTOCOL LOADING ... // Synaptic Protocol is now available, both in full, glorious color and in a printer-friendly version. Special launch price until September 5th! Buy it now and get all future add-ons for free!

I’m rewriting the premisse for my Vampire the Masquerade chronicle. I had no idea what my drive was and where the story would go. I’m now figuring that out with my players before we continue the story. The GM is also a player who should enjoy the story, so don’t be afraid to admit it is you aren’t.

Starting a thread because there are so many.

Side note, I will always click on the like if I see anyone posting a list thing. I may never see the answer but happy people talk about memories that aren’t likely to be password reset secret questions.

Because it is fun for the first few questions! #gtkm #ttrpg

If you enjoy the SP2B book club episodes what is your favorite part? I'm hyping myself up today as I reread the book

SEASON FINALE: SHADOW / GIANT WITH RAHRAH @rahrah.bsky.social @psychhound.bsky.social You'll dig this episode if you like: The Last of Us, Eleven & Hopper from Stranger Things, urban sprawl, beautiful weird dreamscapes, found families, deeply poetic play www.partyofonepodcast.com/2025/08/24/4...

I keep wondering what that noise is and then I remember it's airshow weekend. *sigh*

New Edition of the Style Guide dropping. Backing this for sure.

For all you game designers out there: Last year for the holiday period I ran Critique Navidad, reviewing a game every day for the month of December, as a gift to game designers everywhere! I almost burnt out at that pace, so this year I'm taking submissions early, here: forms.gle/pb6KAKDGarKZ...

If you are making an indie RPG and want to make money, you gotta be aware of your target demographic - Childless Adult Bluey Fans - People Who Wish They Peaked in Highschool - Men With Class Action Restraining Orders By All Women - People With No Souls And Only Number These are the classic demos.

Week 2: Disco! In the Panic Room The team splits to investigate. Yanna and Hunter cosplay at a local con. RSS: feeds.acast.com/public/shows...

Silent Debuggers on the Turbo Graphix 16. I am like 12 playing this game and the sensors for this game are audio based so there is that creeping kind of dread. Not to mention the fact that you will lose stuff over the course of the game. This included the lights.

A watercolour crystal island, painted in a very fancy etchr brand cold press sketchbook.

This is the third such incident to be uncovered in two months. We are going to be spending billions on the Canadian military - they need to go beyond words of outrage and demonstrate that they are taking steps to address this. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

My last big project of the year will be reprinting World Wide Wrestling - including, for the first time ever, a hardcover edition! Now, I'll need a lot of help to make this happen, so hitting that "notify on launch" button would be great. And please share! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ndp...

When writing about Bluebeard’s Bride in particular, please remember to list me as Sarah Doom. Richardson is no longer my name, and trying to maintain an umbrella my games are listed under is hard.

The google algorithm has had so much time and engineering poured into how they rank "YMYL" pages (your money or your life). Their quality and ranking criteria are stricter and those SERPS are meant to change less frequently.

And also having kids makes some designers disappear.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Okay, while I wait for my DNS issues with my website to clear up I'm switching to another domain confirmation one to avoid having that "invalid user" I'll switch back probably in September when I can.
