Today is transgender parents day! We celebrate the amazing trans parents in our community at every phase of parenthood. 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransgenderParents #TransParents #TransParentsDay #TransGaymers #TransPride

Me [checking into the Hotel California]: anything I should know about this place? Clerk: well, for starters, it's pretty fucked up,

This person took this when they called the race

Hopescrolling. We need to do more of that.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

And now, a physical metaphor for "LLMs can be just as good as human writers and artists!" (And I know, I shared it twice. But it's just that nice!)

Hello gamers I'm opening *emergency* graphic design commissions, to help me keep my healthcare due this friday. Flexible pricing, I'll do: -Title typography -Iconography -flyers Looking forl ow effort/stress (ie not suited for short turnarounds and big expectations), great for mockups and prototypes

Hey folks the first 3 issues of the Blacksmith's Guild are now available as a bundle with a 20% discount. tabletopnonsenseverse.myshopify.com/products/the... #draw-steel #the-blacksmith's-guild

Temporal instability strikes again

I’ve had a lot more fun in #ttrpg with being genre blind or just going right for the obvious bad idea to see what happens. Try it!

@paigeleitman.bsky.social this seems relevant to your interests

🕵🏽 Psst. @dmsteve.bsky.social here taking over the AR account. Ever wanted to be part of an episode? If you identify as Asian, click below for a fun survey! I'll be using the results in a special episode where I'll host Family Feud. 👀 🔁 Reposts appreciated! forms.gle/7yquaFBZcDiB...

I am no longer the project bottleneck.

Tariffs killed Magpie Games' trio of unconventional, card-based games, showing early hints of a long and cruel effect on the tabletop RPG side of the industry.

GM Tip: Narrate failures through the competence of the PCs against a hazardous world. They're a skilled thief, but the trap is rusted. They have a glib tongue, but the guard is already being coerced. They're strong, but even a giant couldn't lift this portcullis.

Ttrpg folks: charge what your game costs. Don’t undersell you or your work.

Also it’s a real fix of the ghost of imposter syndrome past. Now I’m a trickster god: “Ah-ha, I’ve deceived these awesome people into inviting me into the cool kids club. All it took was working in the industry for years! Now the rubes will fall for my web of award-winning designs, the fools!”

I got invited to a #ttrpg project and I haven’t done this much internal screaming about who I’m getting to work with in a long time, if ever. One of them called me dope and I am having a really hard time dealing with it.

Nope. Nope nope nope. Not one fucking penny to this monster.

Behold, my sweet baby boy cat! His three modes are charismatic, screaming idiot, and sleeping.

Apropos of nothing: It is vitally important to always have a person in your life that will not hesitate to, honestly and kindly, tell you when you are completely full of shit.

Great news from @renegadegamestudios.com for fans of some of the best #dnd board games that have been out of print for a while!

Through a feat of monumental will and being sick with con crud, I have reached inbox zero.

Hey #DrawSteel folx - where would I start (after the core rule books) to learn about dwarf, orc, and wode elf culture? #ttrpg #anthropology

Great morning at the last day of #GameholeCon - I got to play @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social ‘s Crows playtest along with fellow @renegadegamestudios.com Anais Morgan and their partner. Fun, fast, and a little taste of Draw Steel’s core mechanics used in a whole new way!

Madison. WI:

Attending #NoKings was really good for the soul to see so may other folks fed up with the state of America. Very peaceful, energizing, and not paid at all ;) Plus @paigeleitman.bsky.social made an amazing sign!

Quick stop at #GameholeCon for True Dungeon grind with @ginnyloveday.com + @nerdyalan.bsky.social and grabbing Ben Wolf’s new #litrpg novel! Now a nap before No Kings Madison

Ideal conditions for starting your passion project will never come. You will never feel skilled enough to make it. There will never be a moment where you stop being scared to start. Do it anyway. Do it badly. Do it scared. Just make that thing that’s clawing at the door of your soul; It wants out.

“There’s a better way to do connected skeets.” “Skeets?!? They’re called skeets?!” This is how I learned what posting on this site is.

>> Capped it off listening to stories of Rob Wieland. What an incredible guy, and astonishing how many people he welcomed and nourished in the industry. What an inspiration.

>> where I Bradward Boimlered myself into unlocking an eldritch being (who just wanted me to read it a story after I’d saved), hangs with too many awesome folx to name, and I got to see (and congratulate) @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social on Draw Steel. He even looked like he slept for once! >>

Excellent first day at Gamehole Con! Great panel on producing (fun stories from Jeff Dunlap and @joeraso.bsky.social), got to play Daggerheart with @paigeleitman.bsky.social (and again with Juan Self-Gonzales!), lunch with a bunch of TSR veterans, a one on one Mythos-inspired adventure with Stan! >>

A princely gift from @thehealerdm.bsky.social - my own Gamehole Con emotional support animal

Excited to play @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social at Gamehole Con! Sidecar sheet was cool in concept, it’s even better for learning to play at the table.

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

The Scotland weather I expected (left, today in Glasgow) vs. most of what I got (right, at Talisker a few days ago). Thankful to have enjoyed both, and happy for the cooler weather.

Alright fam - you’re playing Uno. You don’t have a play. Do you: A) Draw one card and skip your turn? B) Draw until you have a playable card, then play it? My family swears by B. We’ve been in the same game for over an hour and most people have 12+ cards in hand.

Visited Glencoe today to walk around a loch and view gorgeous mountains.

Hold up, Vampire foundational clan Toreador are a paid day one DLC in Bloodlines 2? Wild choice.

Quiet vacation day for me. Catching up with Daggerheart and really enjoying some of the design choices.

On the roads to Skye!

Had a great time today visiting Cawdor Castle, home of Thane MacBeth (at least fictionally - it was built 300ish years after he would have ruled). Also wonderful gardens.

Second Bioshock was a gift. As others have said, the history here doesn’t go all the way back.

Bluesky! I need a sensitivity consultant familiar with 19th century China and the British Empire's interactions with it, as well as East Asian mysticism (and British Orientalism related to it). Recommendations, please?

What a civilized way to start the day here in Inverness.

Off on another adventure - this time to Scotland!
