If you evade suffering you also evade the chance of joy. Pleasure you may get, or pleasures, but you will not be fulfilled. You will not know what it is to come home.

two more ICE shootings in Portland, my own back yard. Abolish and prosecute these fuckers

ICE isn’t bad because they’re doing a bad job at something that is necessary. it is that they are wholly unnecessary, and their function is evil.

oh i had this realization once

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Psst, what's this? A new tabletop roleplaying project from me? It's only been what, three-odd years... Welcome to GARDENLOOM, a collaborative oracle deck generating game for the whole table! Compatible with Spindlewheel. Undergoing continued development. oracle-engine.itch.io/gardenloom

Something I've been quite enjoying as I finish up 2025 is developmental editing. So if you're looking for a developmental editor in 2026 for a game... FUCKING PAY ME LET ME BE YOUR SICKO FOR THIS HIRE ME HIRE ME HIRE ME

Hey y'all. I had to leave my dayjob recently, so it is a *great* time to buy my games or subscribe to my Patreon. I'm gonna be okay, but I'm out of work until I get something else lined up. I've got a few leads, but things are shaky. My work's at BrewistTabletopGames.itch.io.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

What's left to say? May everyone involved in dropping bombs on Venezuela be punished swiftly and finally in pursuit of a just society and a lasting architecture of peace.

Some of these days I’ll threaten to do TTRPG (sorry, I’m failing to commit to my own bit—TRG) work. Maybe even layout!

WOW!!!!!!!

somewhere in the 420s AD the third under-governor of some farflung colony gave himself an ulcer worrying for years that the rounding errors in his tax reports would eventually be uncovered by an imperial auditor who had in truth been cut in half by a visigoth a decade prior. that will not be me

2026 is the queer year of CARPE ANNUM

SHGLORP keep an ear out for this sound. When you hear it, record it on a device. Come our next gathering, we compare sounds. Whosever is best gets 2 points. Whoever recorded the most submissions receives 1 point For accessibility concerns, you may also render the sound on paper with finger paints

THAT’S JUST HOW A BARN DOOR CLOSES come up with a fake but plausible folksy aphorism. use your phrase once in every conversation you have for a day. if someone asks you what your phrase means, you lose. if someone else uses your phrase, you win.

If, like me, you found yourself singing that one Mountain Goats song at times this year, I think it is important to acknowledge: You did make it. WE made it. A lot of people in our lives didn't make it, and that should be acknowledged. But, for all that it is worth. You made it through this year.

Anybody else getting an instant bot-like on every post?

and fucking stay out

Here’s my OSR game: if I gave you rules and framing parameters that would be an *incentive*, and we’re not about that here

I'm not immune to the occasional bout of Poster's Madness but I try to live my online life in ways that present fewer potential portals to that outcome, because getting mad at strangers is one of the worst things you can do for your mental health and quality of life

Reposting an old silly sort-of-autobio comic

(Amanda showing off her 2B/9S plushies in FF XIV) look how cute! it was one drop, they came together! me, cultured: Yes, I've seen a lot of art of that

However much of a printer cartridge this just was, it was well worth it. Cheers to @seaexcursion.itch.io and @possumcreekgames.com! This new version on itch is lovely!

hey all, I’m once again struggling to pay rent and groceries this month. go buy my folktale book, grab a print (on sale!), anything helps badbucket.itch.io/the-beasts-and-blessings-of-the-hallowd-hall inprnt.com/gallery/badbucket/ paypal.me/badbucket

I tried to click two things and alt tab while the game was thinking, which is apparently punishable by crash to desktop

in order to network in the ttrpg scene, you must: - accept that you are not everyone's cup of tea - reinvent a mechanic from first principles - make games that drive 10-30 other designers mad - speak with the confidence of someone who thinks very long and hard about how to play pretend more good

Ask and you shall receive

take care how long the errant sorcerer ponders building a Thousand Sons 40k army, lest they fall prey to the little-known mania of "Sekhetar Madness"

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

Rolled a 100 on a D100 today for a pretty important long-running campaign progress benchmark, so yeah, I guess I'm pretty cool

Bought some Black Library novels, so of course I found myself able to read again. Yesterday I devoured Harrowmaster, by Mike Brooks, in one sitting. Good fare! A satisfying campaign novel, though it doesn’t give much character internality. I hope Akurra gets the rumored miniature!

It's only PBTA if it has sex moves, otherwise it's just sparkling FITD

My warhammer collection tends toward older models--ones purchased a decade ago, slowly working through the backlog. But I just assembled a newer sculpt (Fabius Bile) and am now putting together Aethon Shaan, and, whew, the sculpting quality, the mini join lines, the assembly process-

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Rascal is the most important source of tabletop news in the hobby. If you can afford to subscribe, I highly recommend you do! My upcoming big video draws HEAVILY on the work of Rascal journalists, and would be much worse without their reporting

now everywhere is trying to Wrapped me. Discord, Youtube. don't advertise your data collection imo, you're only gonna spook the hoes (I'm the hoes)

Two independent studies found that AI chatbots were better at persuading voters than political ads. The most persuasive bots also lied the most. This is something that humans working in psyops have known for decades. AI is psyops at scale. www.technologyreview.com/2025/12/04/1...
