My nuanced TTRPG take:

As a Jewish person, I’m not exaggerating that the far right want nothing more than absolute humiliation, dehumanizing, and death to all trans people. This all-too-familiar sight is happening right in front of our eyes—and I’m not seeing nearly enough decrying and anger to feel remotely comfortable.

Of course, it is unlawful. Even the "pre-emptive" justification is half-hearted guff. Of course, it is stupid. Wise US politicians once realised a rules-based international order was in their interests. That is being thrown away. And most of all, and regardless of the above, it is wrong.

The rusty old gears and chains of ttrpg designer are starting churning in my brain again. I’m feeling… miniatures and battle mats. War gaming. Darkest dungeon/band of blades hero rosters. Morale economy. Persistent injuries and permadeath.

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

had a very respectful chat about theology tonight

made some sweet fried chicken and ramen (ok "karaage don") tonight. tasted good. otherwise been sick and taken out of action today

listen here you stupid leftoid, if you just voted blue in 2024, ICE would be ruining the lives of immigrant families quietly and efficiently in a way where we wouldn't have to hear about it on the news

woke: for one thing, the reason we can't have a humanoid house robot is because the husband will try to fuck it bespoke: but this is the reason *I* am allowed to

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

for my birthday in [checks calendar] oh jeez, 22 days, i'm giving myself the gift of raising my rates. so if you want to get in on layout, illustration, or design work with me for cheap, hit me up between now and the 15th! [email protected] :) sashareneau.com for examples of my work!

Fixing your heart is, for us born into our arsenal of privilege in the world's most empire, both a lifelong undertaking requiring discipline, patience, perspective, and good teachers, and a necessary first step toward reclaiming your self. It's our essential duty and our most precious opportunity.

Tell me your pet’s name in a gif!

Update: I have a new job! A pretty good one! Unfortunately, my first payday isn't until Feb 15th. If anyone can contribute to keeping me afloat until then, I'd be infinitely appreciative. Food is covered, but anything that can help with rent/bills would be a huge relief. Patreon.com/mosspowers

It’s almost like the FIFA Peace Prize means nothing these days.

my beloved cat Noodle is at the vet & needs $1300 in diagnostic testing for a potentially life-threatening health issue i've put all 5 of my TTRPGs on sale for $20, including the award-winning going rogue 2e & bestseller I Have the High Ground—any support is appreciated 🔗: itch.io/s/179078/hel...

screen printing new patches

Shelved By Genre has been painstakingly picking through my childhood, and is such a rewarding close read reviewcast to listen along to. Even as they've branched out to properties I'm less familiar with, it's still been fascinating. Cameron, Michael and Austin are great hosts. Give them a listen!

I broke through a stalled WIP by reinvigorating the layout with Ramona’s art assets. Use this great resource!

Some stories are difficult not just because of the effort it takes to tell them, but because of the subject matter. This story is both. Seven months, six Rascals, five creators, and a dozen drafts, revisions, and versions later... We have a story that is necessary, heartbreaking, and important.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

Currently in the "Dark Mechanicum don't even count as a loyalist faction" phase of denial that I am starting an AdMech army

abolish the gestapo

Hey, just a small note to all the queer & trans folks who might see this: thanks for being here on the planet. I’m glad you’re here. I wish you happiness and good health and strong community and peace. Love, Your MB (Mom hugs if you want them.)

Great question! It’s not just about whether or not the gyre is widening – its that the falcon cannot hear the Falconer. In today’s blood-dimmed world, it’s a game-changer that many don’t consider. The kicker? A beast that is rough, slouching, and born.

Bleep bloop, vroom vroom vroom! Toys ready to play with.

People don't want to accept that the primary reason that we have Trump today is that the previous administration completely failed. It should have never gotten to the point where it was in the so-called hands of the voters. It was already too late by then.

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
