Healthcare is a basic human right. Food is basic human right. Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights. Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office. SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for. People will die without them.

Ok, typo muses. What on earth is a TTROG? Because it appears to be #ttrpg adjacent!!

My dearies. I’m keenly aware that in real & meaningful ways, we all owe very few people our time. Thank you for choosing to share some of yours with me, either in the #AW3rd kickstarter, in conversation at #Metatopia2025, or in other #ttrog spaces. How we are with each other matters.

Doing a little needle exchange at #Metatopia2025 with @ayvalentine.bsky.social

Good morning #ttrpg folks! Thank you for the amazing launch for #AW3rd! Y’all have pushed us so far over the stretch goal for the digital e-zine of additional materials we’re going to have to think about what might come next. It’s a lovely day! Let’s see where this thing can go!

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically is continued in following text.

Blaseball was such a wonderful thing. I'm still amazed it happened and that I got to be part of it. Hello, I'm Keeper_Bees. Sometimes I write games.

Sin personas que amen el juego, no hay juego. Nos sentimos muy honrados, primero de que la gente encuentre lo que hacemos tan inspirador y, segundo, de que se sientan conmovidos a mostrar su agradecimiento de esta manera. Muchas, muchas gracias. [¡Perdona el traductor de Google!]

We made it to #Metatopia2025! What’d I miss? #ttrpg #pbta #aw3rd

I’m really looking forward to listening to this one, because I was Very in the moment, and having a wonderful time!

In other news, Vincent and I will be at #Metatopia2025 in about...8 hours? We'll be doing Breakfast With the Bakers, and some panels, and showing up in games as @avonelle.bsky.social sees fit to put us to work. If you're there, come say hi!

www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... THANK YOU for already putting us past a stretch goal that will mean we give the animator for our KS video more money for her art! Annika Sturmer is a graduate of MassArt and a dear friend. You can check out her work here: www.youtube.com/@annie_thepi...

Yes this exactly what we mean. If you want everyone in your group to have their own copy, we want to make that a little easier for you. This also makes it easier for people like @friede.bsky.social and @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social and @czamboni.bsky.social to pick up classroom copies.

Y'all know the deal, right? There WILL be a typo on the cover. Here's hoping it's just the KS text and not the actual book! (We're looking at you, Skiller.)

Here We GO! Come along, my dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Yes.

Between Vincent & me, we've backed 429 projects on Kickstarter, & funded 18 projects of our own. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum... will be our 19th. This is the longest wait we've ever had for a greenlight. Kickstarter United is now in the longest tech strike ever. Solidarity Forever.

"Around 6,300 local civilian employees" is not U.S. Army soldiers, who are still going without pay. Germany stepped in to make sure it's citizens don't starve. Like a civilized nation.

Interesting thread full of data, including an update by Anil: it’s closer to 1/2 the Senate.

"Centrists" need to call Mamdani a "radical leftist" so they can say Trump/Farage fascism is just the opposing side of an equally matched "both sides" conflict But Mamdani is just a middle of the road, European social democrat And "centrists" - ie centre-right and right - are simply pro-fascism.

Y'all know the drill by now... IF YOU'RE IN LINE AT POLL CLOSING STAY IN LINE. YOU CAN STILL VOTE.

Did not have “see a UFO” on my to-do list for today, but here we are. Totally clear sky, backwards-S-shaped thing with a very bright center moving away from us. It did not spin, despite the big curving “galaxy arms” that faded from the center out to the ends. Thoughts, anyone? What did we see?

If voting wasn't important they wouldn't be trying so hard to stop you. #Vote

Games. Will. Prevail. And as soon as we get the clearance from Kickstarter, we’re ready to gooooooooo!

Go #VOTE, so you can again next year!

Imagine the Constitution was the safety net that holds everything you take for granted in place, the tent that shelters you from the harshest elements, the interconnected web that reminds others that you, too, have a right to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. Now go stand up for it & #VOTE

No one is above the law. Supposedly.

Binge-watching The Pitt. As one does.

I was SO happy to hear it was free, immediately followed by SO ticked off by the “but we’re going to collect your work for our AI” crap!!

Dremmer, come get your damn ducks!!!

Y'all. Get the means of production in the hands of the people. Practice your craft to produce your art! Get on this!! www.affinity.studio/page-layout-...

Ok, @lumpley.bsky.social & I have been very up-front over the years on our sales data & etc, so here's a thing, & thanks Will, for bringing it up. Starting a career in #ttrpgs means making games. it means writing in a goggle doc or notebook, trying mechanics with a friend, finding 3 folks to play.

Other full-time creatives are just members of the vast working poor, making ends meet as best we can. It's WILD to think that my part-time, mostly-grant-funded, no-benefits-other-then-flex-time museum work is our "invisible safety net."

I love this whole everything. Especially because these are clever, inexpensive, and homemade! If I was the type to host big Halloween parties, I'd definitely go with this as the costume prompt!

Did ether of us say T minus 1? Today was T minus 1. Launch in under 24 hours. Probably under 12. See you there, dearies! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

I got you, my friend. lumpley.itch.io/games-to-pla...

Threads interwoven, for a richer tapestry, and seeds planted, to flower in the future!

Hahaha that’ll teach me to try to type while navigating the pickup line at the airport! #WoShoStoReMo is World Short-Story Reading Month, and it’s one of my favorite @epidiah.bsky.social creations.

Happy #WoSoStoReMo! I’m starting with “Magic for Beginners” by Kelly Link.

THIS Monday!! T minus 2!!! Whaaaa!

It’s a wild world when #SnapBenefitsEnd and #KidsAreHungry due to the #TrumpShutdown, but #Fortnite is trending. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

The unthinkable has happened. Through generations of service under administrations from both parties, America's food assistance program has never been allowed to fail U.S. families—until today, and this Trump shutdown.

T minus 3!?!? Cool. Cool cool cool.

Occasional reminder that the main goal of AI use in its current form is epistemicide: the suppression of the means of acquiring and verifying knowledge so the AI’s owners can feed you whatever information will give them the most power.

@lauragoudreau.bsky.social hey, you found me! Folks, this is Laura. Laura’s designing a #PBTA game to use as a training tool with emergency responders. Some of y’all might recall I was an EMT way back, before we wrote #ApocalypseWorld. I’m very interested in seeing what comes next!

T minus 4 on #AW3rd. I’m so glad to be working on this #ttrpg y’all. And thanks for the welcome, @friede.bsky.social, I’m having a blast. www.instagram.com/reel/DQcSCmt...

More like this. And this is what I want from our government: tax me $1.17, use it to feed hungry people. Yes.
