TTRPG SAFETY ANNOUNCEMENT: CW: CSA materials I've just heard from a trusted source (with evidence linked below) that @ colbosch. bsky. social was arrested in June last year for possession of CSAM. Sharing this info so that others can look into it for themselves and keep themselves safe.

Hey folks, thank you so much for your help. I still really need help with groceries, my internet bill, as well as getting to these appointments because they want to see me again right away. Please help if you can, thank you so much

That doesn’t mean they have no *impact* or *influence,* it doesn’t mean they’re not *important,* it just means they have no *control.* This is one of the most important things for any designer to internalize. you’ll avoid so many pitfalls If you do

I am slowly uploading some of my old writing from my time on the college paper to my blog - honestly pretty proud of this review of Blade Runner 2049! maybe this is the year I finally write the follow-up piece blarple.net/blade-runner...

emily got me expedition 33 for christmas, and i tried to pick up my pre-gamepass-cancellation save from April (approx 8 hours in) and it's incomprehensible. I would pay 150 USD right now for a Prima Guide. I do not want a website, I do not want a YouTube video, and for that, I am doomed to suffer.

Okay, serious face, though: If we actually do want to move the way we talk about TTRPGs "forward" on the theory front, develop that more beyond the bounds of academia, here's what we need to do: Start treating clarified views of gaming as distinct lenses you can put on and take off. 1/

If you're reading this, round 1 of the Bloggies' Hunger Games is over and round 2 has already started! This post has all of the voting breakdowns sans the vote count (it would have taken me an extra hour to add those in, and I have a day job 😔.) You won't believe the margins on these matchups!

This is the source of every obnoxious discourse, every abrasive take, every post that gets dogpiled and vagueposted about for days. Every minute difference in preference gets broadcasted as a violation of dogma. Interpersonal problems metastasize into creative schisms and vice versa. Fuckin tiring.

UNEASY LIES THE HEAD: it's here. fulfillment coming soon

I need more people to vote in the categories not labeled "advice."

Get in line for some Adam Bell Bangers!

This thread absolutely fucking rips and is an EXCELLENT demonstration of why our ability to meaningfully analyze the patterns of culture and its products fundamentally *depends upon* our ability to recognize the invisible, “default” positions that power and, indeed, white supremacy prescribes.

Thank you for the endorsement Mr. President 🙏

With alt text. The entire fucking point, supposedly, was the app spying on US citizens and they make it even MORE invasive. Get the fuck off TikTok.

also, I’m seeing a lot of #them saying it’s “unhelpful” to point to American history, and inhibits us from moving forward from the current moment we’re in and I’d like to add, that unwillingness to engage with the ugliness of this country’s history is *exactly* why we’re here now

i call cubism a mind virus created by satan to destroy painting as an art form and I'm not joking, it has destroyed one or two generations of talent completely

My favorite feeling is reading a game that’s taking a swing at the same thing I’m taking a swing at and immediately going “no. nope. Uh-uh. I’d never do it this way.” It’s good to remind oneself that no one else thinks like you do or wants the exact same thing out of the same premise. Always do you.

if you ever watch kamen rider ryuki please beware of the sexy snake man or else you'll wind up making poor life choices like staying up until nearly 4am making things like this

In tabletop rpg design, sometimes gameplay doesn't come from the mechanics we add, but the ones we omit. www.explorersdesign.com/dominant-mec...

oh my GOD can this guy go away PLEASE DO I NEED TO REMAKE MY LONGASS TWITTER THREAD ABOUT THIS GUY AND HOW SHITTY HE IS???? And his pattern of behavior where he likes talking about the current discourse to try and remain relevant???? DF is the reason we joke about yt men “learning and growing”

Thing is, US citizens, or people legally here, have been detained by this institution since it started. This is not a new problem. The whole agency needs to be torn down and consequences put to people.

If you’ve got the day off remember the price of that day was Black lives being extinguished! Maybe read book about it

Dragon fucking Reactor!! Get in your mech and get SAD!!

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything
