So, I don't know how hard I have to stress how potentially damaging the live service/subscription model that Wizards is considering is to the hobby at large. We're at a point right now where people are realizing the peril of not actually owning anything as streaming services and operations...1/5

What. The. Hell. Subscription fees + micro transactions for parts of books as they release. This is not it. So not only do you not own anything, and have to pay to have access to it, but books will basically be luxury collectables. Fuck right off. www.gamesradar.com/tabletop-gam...

What the hell YouTube!? Why are you holding out on me like this! There is so much amazing stuff happening in this short! www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEeo...

Dredd (2012). It precisely captured the spirit of the comic, beautifully updated the costuming, and also showed how Dredd himself can be subversive when justice and the law break from eachother.

#WH40K Thought: The 2nd and 11th Legions had stable geneseeds, no mutations, no corruptions. They were also close enough to 13th Legion geneseed to pass testing within an acceptable degree of deviation. The presence of 2nd and 11th geneseed in the Ultramarines is specifically why they have...1/3

This is possibly one of the best deals on #TTRPG you can get. Solid system, good games, multiple genres! www.humblebundle.com/books/free-l...

Is is just me or does it seem like World Anvil is optimizing their UI specifically for large screens? Like, I get what they're going for with the panel system, but when you're working on a laptop with a 15.6" screen, it's crowded and unpleasant to use.

Family Martial Arts Fun: At tonight's belt test, my daughter was in line ahead of me when they called for us to do cartwheels. Her: "I'll watch you this time Dad!" Three very unpretty but completed cartwheels later: "Dad! You did so good!" I can feel all my bones right now, but it's worth it.

This is worth watching for the commentary alone! 🤣 youtu.be/2ut8bjqglxQ?...

Pretty sure at this point that Elon is going to do an OceanGate for space travel.

THIS. In the late 1970s, the literal heyday of the "traditional #TTRPG" brought us AD&D/Basic, Traveller, RuneQuest, and Tunnels & Trolls. All offering radically different play experiences. "Traditional TTRPG" is often shorthand for "AD&D when you don't ignore encumbrance, rations, and ammo."

I've always liked the anime/manga inspired ears (e.g.: FF XIV below) for elves over the PF and especially the WoW style ears. Also, this art is 🔥🔥🔥

My parents moved us from the Lower Mainland to the Southern Interior of BC part way through grade 6. There has been no other event in my life as trajectory altering as that.

Here you go Destiny nerds, I solved it 6 years ago. gilarpgs.itch.io/light

Sega Master System. Still have it!

Having a lot of these lately. #WH40k Thought: The Orks we see in imperial space and on the boundaries are the weakest of the species. Orks were created millions of years ago, and the conflicts churning in the deepest part of their space are that old. The closest the imperium has come to an... 1/3

Conventionally in #WH40k lore discussion, Perturabo is compared to and against Rogal Dorn. But I think he was supposed to be in a partnership with Vulkan. Balancing his engineering genius for design and stoic coldness with raw creativity and warm compassion. The imperium they could have made...

Seriously, I cannot stress how much of a resource for heist, spy, and other #TTRPG genres that Burn Notice was! www.youtube.com/shorts/-kyc5...

#WH40K Thought: Despite the preponderance of evidence to the contrary, including literal staff and writers at GW, I do not think the Minotaurs are secret Iron Warriors. Their modus operandi and disposition don't sync up with anything from that Legion or Perturabo. I think they're something...1/3

It's about damn time.

The framing in this is feels backhanded. When people make tools for #5e, the framing is always positive. But here, it feels like they're framing the variety in #Pathfinder as a negative that needs to be overcome with external tools. It's nice that it ends on a...1/2 share.google/YmAlImG4XCbH...

Literally can't get this out of my head. The bank, the fat cash, the dosh, the literal licence to print money this would be. Like, I appreciate the hustle by GW to make this as an April Fools, but DAMN. Why taunt us like this?!?! www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NO...

Eggs, Bacon, Hash Browns, Sausage, and Orange Juice.

*checks notes* Can confirm, this is accurate.

Adding a means testing component to any social program is basically putting a poison pill into them.

People: I think my sci-fi idea is too weird for the mainstream. Me: Someone, somewhere, greenlit Lexx for multiple seasons. You're fine. Get that idea out into the wild!

My kid has been playing Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission all afternoon and she is so happy. That little PS4 Slim I thrifted is doing an amazing job! youtu.be/sAxi1Bf1zm8?...

Skeleton Man (2004) This horror/action movie was so bizarre, so random, and so completely batshit nonsense that it still hurts my brain. This movie made Uwe Boll's work seem coherent and well executed.

I miss official AMVs. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yayl...

"The secret's in the meat."

New form of AI hell from YouTube adverts: "You want to play D&D alone? AI can..." My brothers and sisters in this dharmic cycle, CRPGs, MMORPGs, and JRPGs already exist. They're polished. There's thousands of them. Dozens to hundreds of hours of play, all without paying to feed AI that wants...1/2

I watch Hong Kong martial arts and action movies, WH40k and GTA stuff, retro-tech channels, historical documentaries, classic anime, and Minecraft tutorials on YouTube. Apparently that makes me the demographic for AI girlfriend adverts. I hate this timeline so much.

I cannot overstate what a giant step forward for, and sign of life from, Cortex Prime this is. #TTRPG

That moment of socioeconomic realization when you're looking at clothes and realize that you've been conditioned to prefer ostentatious or at least bold displays of logos and branding over quality.

Sci-fi #TTRPG Thought: No matter how crazy advanced technology and materials get, physics are real. Yes, there might be regular body armour that basically looks and feels like regular clothes, but energy is energy. It has to go somewhere. Where is it going? Does it get used for something else?

Read it. This is important.

Corax was tragic AF, especially with how Alpharius screwed with his efforts to rebuild his legion. But right now he's in the warp, actively and aggressively pruning the Word Bearers and doing the warp shadow raven nightmare version of the guy from The Warriors: "Lorgar... Come out to play-ay..."

#WH40K Lore Thought: Within the next five years, we're probably going to see the mystery of the 2nd and 11th Legions and their primarchs be revealed. I think this because the reason they were left out originally, as space for TTRPG like creativity in the looser and less defined earlier...1/8

My kid is literally watching the original She-Ra series, one episode a night right now. I watched the '60s Batman show and movie and loved it when I was a kid. Movies and shows that are good have lasting appeal.

I don't normally review adventure stuff, but damn... I think I need @paizo.com to go all in on the Pathfinder BX thing for a retro vibe game. Dawn of the Frogs has my brain on fire in a good way! I just need the core booklets, that's it. And for it to be ORC licensed. Capped at lv. 10. That's it.

Honestly? This is looking like the adaptation I wanted back in the '90s when my buddies and me were trying to cobble the manga series together one issue at a time. And I'm looking forward to it!

🫡 to all my fellow creatives in the sci-fi space, we're doing our part!
