Got through a session 0 and short contrived encounter to get them rolling dice. First party I've had that didn't immediately murder the talking creatures in front of them when they obstructed their way. All of them are very interested in building out their characters also! What is happening! 😊

Rejoice, 'tis the day of my birth! I shall partake in the tradition of humbly asking celebratory reblogs of mine art 😌🎨

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

How can I be happy? Narrated by Stephen Fry, #Thatshumanism explores where meaning in life comes from – not a cosmic plan, but what we create through relationships, creativity, and the world around us. Watch the video: humanists.uk/thatshumanism/

Running Tyranny of Dragons, as my second time really DMing. Setup, you have come across this small camp of 12 baddies, you have caught them unawares, you are out of ear shot, feel free to plan. Group takes 10 mins to come up with plan, party rolls great stealth as a group, they are 2 or three,

Maximum effort go. Yay discipline boo motivation. Heavy things won't go up and down on there own.

Here’s my feature on Collective Shout, and their attempts to take down Steam and itch.io. I found a conversation where they spoke about exactly how they did it, and detailed their plans going forward, which sounds… very unrelenting. youtu.be/rKD4fYc8xV4

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF

My latest video is about what’s happening at Microsoft/Xbox, and why I actually think Microsoft is much more to blame than anyone at Xbox’s gaming division. youtu.be/yHfGJ53nHqc

Man. It IS punk as fuck to care.

Shitty Character Idea: A wild magic sorcerer Dragonborn whose scales are iridescent, and they roll on a table to determine what kind of breath weapon they use. #DnD

If this pops up during your scroll time, I hope you know your worth is far beyond the content you produce. You’re a wonderful human being, not a content machine. I hope you remember that.

This illustration of Dragon Knight Censor is for an ability with a very delightful premise and name! 🤘🏽 ⚡️Ride the Lightning⚡️ #censor #dragonknight #lightning #illustration #sketch #fantasy #fantasyart #fantasypainting #ttrpg #mcdm #drawsteel

Shitty Character Idea: A Dragonborn astral self monk who is part hydra, and thus their astral self is not an additional set of hands, but two more heads. #DnD

My main D&D group is going through some IRL scheduling problems, so I started looking for a second game online. Seems like there are a lot less options available than a few years ago last time I was looking for a second game to join.

The Wandering Blades Kickstarter campaign is LIVE! Help @plusoneexp.bsky.social and I bring my vision of a gritty, violent, and dramatic wuxia TTRPG to life! My goal with this project is to create the martial arts action game of my dreams! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ton...

Shitty Character Idea: A monk who uses an immovable rod as an anchor point for them to do gymnastics off of as well as a blunt weapon. #DnD

Feat of the Week from the 8yo DM: Inspired by a playground accident... this is one of the sweetest abilities the wyrmling has ever created.

Player: Ok, I’m going to jump into the wall and clip down to the BBEG. DM:...What? Player: I’m trying to speedrun this dungeon—I’m seeing if I can find any glitches that can help me with that. DM:...Sir, this is Dungeons and Dragons. We don’t do that here. #DnD
