youtu.be/qYzK5uUNdVQ?... We apologize for the delay but here we are! Fresh new episode of R&D featuring a return to form with @thekappachris.bsky.social and @walle132.bsky.social having a good chat about what's important to them... Tournament arcs.

Hey, #ttrpg folks! It’s #LatineHeritageMonth and I want to talk about a couple of my games real quick. The Golden Path is a solo journaling game that uses the Major arcana of a tarot deck to prompt you. You are a spirit visiting for Día de los Muertos contemplating your previous life.

Pathetic

You get money from a book you published on a date you can't predict. it will be a sum you can't predict. you will never know if the ranch is saved or not. Everyone makes interest off your royalties before you do, and you're probably not making *any* interest at all And you don't have dental.

Also-- Writers, unite! You do not need to be SFWA to be eligible for a lawsuit under the LibGen & PiLiMi Pirated Books Class - but you do need to act soon! Deadline: September 1, 2025. Read more about it here, and spread the word widely: www.lieffcabraser.com/anthropic-au...

Most of my books were pirated in this but now that I’m in Canada I don’t think I’m eligible to join. Share if you care.

And on the subject of #realartatters: AI poisoning tool NIGHTSHADE is now free for artists to use: venturebeat.com/ai/nightshad...

This is not a joke. Consider this. Its 150 gigs for images and all. That's literally less than one AAA game.

Big news! I'm making my own tabletop RPG. This is the biggest, boldest idea I've had so far, and I need you to make it real! I won't launch until I hit 1,000 followers., so visit the KS page and click 'Notify Me On Launch' www.kickstarter.com/projects/gno... #ttrpg #TwelveRealms #TwelveRealmsRPG

Ah yes, the edition that started it all for me. The SRD changed everything for this game, and I still remember most of the tables and I made algebraic formulas to memorize every class feature and stat bonus. I was the walking DMG and PHB for our playgroup back then.

Which film have you seen an unhealthy number of times?

In unrelated techno necromancy news...my headphones haven't been able to charge for 3 months, but they randomly charged today, and I'm honestly unsure what allowed it to charge again. TAKE THAT UNIVERSE! I guess? Maybe it's the universe giving me mercy for all my endeavors.

Almost at £2000!! The £2k stretch goal is for me to write a Secret Service stretch goal 👀 Want tables of spy equipment for your Chef or alt rules for a secret restaurant informer ? Let's gooo: www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...

AP people! Me and some other folks are putting on a Queer Horror Pilot Jam for @rainbowrollnetwork.bsky.social (deets soon!). I’m now recruiting for (unpaid) panels on casting & pitching a show concept, playing queer and trans horror, editing, and sound design. Drop me a reply if you’re interested!

WELP to find another vendor that aren't pieces of shit

A hunger strike at a South Florida immigration detention center state officials have named “Alligator Alcatraz” enters its tenth day, as detainees protest what they call inhumane and dangerous living conditions.

Today I learned there's a family platter portion for Ikea's Swedish meatballs, and I CANNOT begin to tell you of the nefarious and dastardly things that I will commit upon my next visitation.

I'm super excited I can finally share that I'm an editor for Streets of Jade! Join the playtest now!

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

If anyone has disposable income—this was my birthday month and being laid off in June with no other freelance lined up means I made basically no money this month :( I had one IRL speaking gig but that will only cover my utilities and groceries :’) Venmo: @nal-wu Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/naladraws

In case you were wondering. Here are other games by the company you can not buy since they've decided to align themselves with bigotry. www.czechgames.com

Good thread

This! 👇 After Alan tipped me off, I met with Brandon at @diceweaver.com and after taking a tour of things and listening to his platform policies, we're partnering with them for @undergroundoracle.com's catalog of #ttrpg titles.

Yall ratio'd @codenamesgame.bsky.social ,the people trying to make money off of JK Rowling hatred if trans people, so bad they've disabled comments and quotes on their entire account🫡

For almost a year, but Kevin was already thinking about it as far back as 2022 from what I recall, and I dropped him immediately then. But in case you missed it.

For anyone who might not be aware, SubscribeStar is a lesser-known creator platform with explicitly (no pun intended) 18+ art/media and SWer friendly policies. They've survived multiple waves of anti-SWer, anti-queer CC/payment processor online censorship. www.subscribestar.com

Itchio deserves all the smoke for this bullshit, but don't forget the payment processors. They do this repeatedly with multiple websites. If the platforms take all the heat, the processors don't have to.

Thanks for picking this up @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social! The more people that understand that there are real people and families behind the numbers whose lives were thrown into disarray the better!

unto thy maw got swept up in the @itch.io shadowban! it is a game so carnal, so filled with vore, so bent on having two people have sex that itch deigned to make it unsearchable. sounds like a fun time, right? for the next 24 hours I will run a shadowban sale so you can get in on the action.😈

FFS @itch.io Can we get one quarter without y'all fucking shit up?!

The rare times when the Florida Weather Center sends out heat advisories for triple-digit temps this week, and it's 112 Fahrenheit (44 Celsius) outside when I went to get groceries. I know I usually say Florida is a hellscape, but this week...it's definitely earned it.

AYYYY I was a contributor for Grizelda's Cursed Curiosities under Adventure - Long Form AND I was the editor for Stewpot: Tales from a Fantasy Tavern under Family Game/Product!

A reminder that if you want to celebrate something today, you could be celebrating the creation of the Caesar salad.

Gonna talk for a second about Nazis, Republicans, DrivethruRPG, that Star Wars game, and more importantly, my grandpa. Bear with me, the edibles are just kicking in. Might be a little thread.

Even I, a bisexual, still remain...and thus I am still gay

Workers, in the context of Arcon, are the 9-to-5 working, honest and upstanding persons who make the city’s pulse kick into high gear every day. Arcon: City of Neon Daylight is a system agnostic Cyberpunk setting by Kienna Shaw and Jason Cutrone, available in physical and digital on our store

I'm excited to announce that Marvel Mystic Mayhem, the tactical mobile RPG I worked on, is officially out! It's been an honor and a joy to write for these characters, and I'm so excited for people to play this game!!

Calling all solo game players: “Psalms for the Undertow," my game about the last lighthouse custodian waiting for the end of the world, is up on my Itchio now and pay-what-you-want for a limited time 🌊

We conducted a playtest for a game I've been writing for a little while. Got some great feedback and hoping to do another round soon.

I have this starter pack of great black TTRPG designers. Give them a follow! If you are a black TTRPG designer who wants to be included on the list, let me know! go.bsky.app/TSmxwUa

Some real(?) talk about providing VTT support as a publisher. (Real talk... virtual tabletop... there's a joke in there somewhere. I'm not finding it. Onward.) I'm the guy who makes the Roll20 character sheets at Evil Hat. Because I'm a company founder, I don't need to charge the company for it.

PSA: Anti-Trump AI-generated art is still really bad for the environment and still utilizes a product trained on people's artwork without permission or compensation.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

I guess that's a win? The stage still removed all efforts to Critical Race Theory, so I doubt it'll be a comprehensive one. Very strange.
