A basic design exercise is to change the attributes in D&D and nothing else: Strength becomes Aggression Dexterity - Precision Constitution - Resolve Intelligence - Wits Wisdom - Patience Charisma - Presence Now pick a mechanic and ask yourself if it still works and how could you fix it?

You can call it 'opsec' if you want to pretend it's something tactical, whatever you need to internalise this fucking point.

People are handling the current moment in geopolitics in different ways. For some people this means being silly online, and for other people it means turning up everyone's comments to spread their complete misery and helplessness to everyone around them whether they want it or not.

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion EARTHSET. April 6, 2026. Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon. 🚀🌕🌍

All of Mission Control switched the visible sides of their Artemis II patches from the side with the Moon in the foreground to the side with the Earth in the foreground to commemorate the moment the spacecraft began its journey home.

The Artemis II mission patch being reversable is really cute and cool.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

My interest in current day spaceflight plummeted for the last year or so, but Artemis II reignited that in a very emotional way. This says it all. There was always so much blind worshipping of SpaceX and ignoring other companies as well as NASA. I gave up for a while. Time to refocus on good stuff

brb betraying my friends

Happy First Contact Day to all who celebrate. 🖖

Want to know why you shouldn't do a LotR reboot? It's inspid and tacky. Also the primary touchstone for most people for LotR is the Jackson movies. Any new movie you make won't be them and will be damaged by the comparison. Even if it's good you won't beat nostalgia.

There was a show I was in, super briefly before being killed years ago, and every year the producers send out a digest of praise the show’s got over the last year and honestly it’s LOVELY. If you find art you like, go tell the creator. Trust me, they need it

I made a little Instagram reel about this image because it’s just so frickin’ cool

I painted the new image of Earth from Artemis!

Morning. I'm still ill so today is going to be another couch day. Reading Steel Ball Run and working on my Sigil WiP.

Who watches 80s and 90s sf for the SFX space battles? I posit this does not hold up to scrutiny.

The whole “I’m only here to see the Federation shooting at the Romulans!!” thing is so bizarre that I don’t even believe it’s true. I don’t believe that’s what moved and thrilled and delighted that boy sitting down to watch TNG or whatever every week…

I remind all my trans siblings that visibility is a radical thing. To stand in the light in a world that breaks you down for doing so? That is revolutionary. That said though, please stay safe. Survival is paramount and continuing to live authentically when others say we should not is everything.

This is another nice remake of it

"I just want to watch the Federation and Romulans to shoot each other." Well guess what Andy Weir; that's been like the last 3 Star Trek series, and whenever they do it ✨ sucks ass ✨

Writing longer is easy, writing tight, punchy stuff which still carries the same amoung of information is a lot harder. That's why any designer worth their salt knows the value of editors.

Now think what that means with when my most common dev editing eye to a TTRPG is "this game should have been 15 pages and/or 33-66% of its size"

Ultimately this immediately links to one of the value signifiers I wrote in yesterday for the KS guide lmao:

Vagrant Story, same graphics and art style, restore the second half of the game they cut.

Look we all need to sit down and sort out that “death of the author” and “separate the art from the artist” do not mean the same, freely interchangeable thing.

tying medical care to employment is bad actually

this made me mad but was relatable so I had to buy it
