If you’re in Chicago and free this upcoming Saturday, you should come to the Chicago Shieldwall for ICE resistance training and (optionally) TTRPGs for charity! events.humanitix.com/chicago-shie...

The Fight for $15 movement started in like 2012–its abject lunacy that we’re still not EVEN there.

DCC megatable!!!

Gamehole has officially begun!

Kicking off Gamehole early this year, a little 5e at the Airbnb.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Trans rights are human rights.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Just seeing the first episode, Alien: Earth is a damn treat. So much world-building that feels in line with that first film in a great way, fantastic cast, and exciting stakes established for a (hopefully) great season of TV! Between this and Peacemaker coming back, I am loving TV!

Brain rot to think of this, brain rot to do it, brain rot all the way down

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

Ran Mausritter for the first time last night—very fun game! It’s a great “if you’ve played D&D you get the gist” but also some great changes. We only played a one-shot but the group had fun and…

Fantastic summary of why I love this game

If you have a copy of Silam without a PDF, you can always email me (link in bio) to get a free one—like Drew in Louisville who got a copy of the exclusive DCC Day cover of Silam No. 1 and reached out to me! It's awesome to hear from folks 'in the wild' who have a copy 💚 #dungeoncrawlclassics #ttrpg

Folks should absolutely check out the Appendix N Jam output! I wanted to participate but spent the month getting my ass kicked by (treated now) sleep apnea, and it was super cool to lurk in the Discord and see the stuff people were coming up with—very cool!

Less than 23 hours left to back Silam No. 3! We’ve got a new adventure, a thieves guild, and overland travel! And you can throw in the other issues, all at a discount.

Most of the internet used to be like this. This is actually the default, it took companies enclosing the internet and adding weird, soul-killing incentives to make people behave the way they do now. In a way, there is truly nothing special about Wikipedia except that it survived longer.

Ozzy going out after raising $190 million for sick kids and a Parkinson’s cure is metal AF.

Gosh, starting up a Kickstarter is stressful—letting people know you’ve made a thing, hoping they’re interested…it’s a lot! Taking the morning to just read some comics and drink some coffee is good.

Silam 3 is coming to Kickstarter soon! Includes a travel guide for the eastern portion, a thieves' guild dossier for criminal intrigue, stats for Silamian creatures and a Level 1 adventure exploring a lost museum! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wwl... #dcc #osr #dungeoncrawlclassics #ttrpgs

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

New Aesop Rock album is wild—this man’s consistent output over the years should be studied by science. Excited for the re-listens where I keep finding new things to gasp at.

AND Silam No. 3 is officially sent off to editing (Thanks @reverenddak.bsky.social !) and I'm gearing up for a Kickstarter. It feels good to be here--2024 was a hell of a year and I'd have liked to be saying all of this about issue 4, but we can't change the past just keep moving forward!

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Hell yeah

So excited to have Silam included in DCC Day, both with a dope monster bookmark AND a special variant cover of Silam No. 1!

Finished the first drafting of Silam No. 3 today! Going through a “rough layout” process to see where exactly it stands on space, then it’s time to start my final editing pass before handing the final editing off. Exciting times!

A David Lynch quote for every creative person who may need it today. It resonated with me when I came across it reading it in Lynch on Lynch.

“I asked ChatGPT-“ okay well I asked the big oak tree at the center of the woods and she said you’re a lazy dork

Using my first AMC Stubs movie to catch Sinners before it leaves theaters 😌

This is a really formative book for me and I’ve long wondered if a film adaption would work/live up to the novel. I’m curious to see! Gonna have to do a re-read before I see this.

VERY excited to see what @goodmangames.bsky.social does with this!

In more exciting news, I’m writing an encounter for X-Crawl for the Cure at this year’s #gameholecon and I’m pretty excited for how devious it’s ending up!

This depressingly insightful article on the New Yorker is well worth reading, for both the ideas and the quality writing. This quote in particular jumped out at me as striking at the core of my loathing for so-called AI products. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Gosh, some days the writing just doesn't wanna happen. Looking at this table of overland encounters and excited at the ones I have...and liking the idea notes I left myself for more...but suddenly the dirty dishes seem really important.

Just finished Mythic Quest—It started out as purely a workplace comedy with the “twist” that it’s an MMORPG studio, but starting with the fifth episode, Dark Quiet Death, it started a splinter into heavier themes—toxic codependency, artistic compromise in the face of profit, workaholism as denial…
