I think the most off-putting TTRPG trope is the "I will tell you I hate DnD before I tell you my name" guy. I get it, you're too cool for it and you have opinions - get a podcast or something.

Game SC doesn't mess with sloppy, and blacklists companies who do.

normalize loudly saying "ai shite" when encountering it in the wild at tradeshows, conventions and craft fairs

This is an easy game to pickup and play. I love it!

Make it twenty percent.

1. This is despicably evil. 2. This needs to be fought at every level. There is no world in which this cannot be considered cruel and unusual punishment. 3. Those behind this effort need to be exposed and never know a moments peace.

Hello from Louisville! I'm at the expo for a few days. Expect updates! I hope you're all doing well.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

Friday, January 30th Game Santa Cruz will be closed in support of the nationwide general strike. As a small business, we can't afford to be closed. Financially this is very scary. But so is the reality of what's happening. Solidarity forever with our friends, families, and community.

Just in case it needs saying, we are against fascism in general, and this bullshit specifically. standwithminnesota.com

Abolish ICE, prosecute and imprison its leaders, impeach and remove the President from office. This is the only sane reaction to a group of armed men kidnapping and gunning down our neighbors in the street.

🚨 We have just over 3 days left of the No ICE in Minnesota Game Jam before we start prepping for the Charity Bundle. No late submissions will be accepted so we can start on time on February 9. 🚨 Thank you to everyone joining and sharing the bundle’s game jam 🖤

Our warehousing & fulfillment is based in Minnesota. The company is closed today (their employees are getting paid). We fully support them in their struggle against federal occupation of the state. If you are not in MN, here's a link to some ways you can stand up and take action. iceoutforgood.org

Do you know what MIC stands for? No? You should! Machine Identification Code MICs enable tracking a printed piece of paper back to the printer. So - you print something at home and it ends up in the streets at say... a protest. Forensically it can be traced back to your printer and you.

RUNE is so great that when I was playing Hollow Knight, I went "You know what would do this well? RUNE." and so I made a hack inspired heavily by this awesome game. Definitely check it out, because #SHELL-ttrpg is going to have compatibility rules for playing in RUNE Realms.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Reminder to research Shopify's CEO Tobias Lütke. He swung hard right years ago. It's dismaying to me to see how many folks use the platform or advertise it on their podcast etc. That purple "Shop" button? Each purchase supports his anti-union, anti-diversity, and anti-human rights efforts.

I'm boosting myself to say this: You're going to see people On Here tell you calling electeds doesn't matter. That's not true. Some are bots. Some are people who like being contrary to be edgy. But calling moves the needle, especially against a blatantly illegal act by Trump and Co. ACT.

Angry? Do something about it. Find & gather into a group of other angry people with the aim to collectively do something about it. Read some literature on What Is To Be Done & arm that anger with knowledge. Remain angry, but don't remain unmoved.

Give the shop a vote if you're digging what we're doing. Cheers! www.goodtimes.sc/best-of-ball...

Happy holidays everyone. We're closed until January 7th. Cheers!

I'm not really into popularity contests. But the shop could use the help. I kindly ask that you vote for us. Cheers!

CANCEL your Fortnite subscriptions and DELETE the game from all your computers. Choosing—and yes, it is a CHOICE— to license Harry Potter in 2025 sends a message: "We do not care about trans people." No amount of Miku or trans-colored cosmetic items can make up for this. bsky.app/profile/jazz...

Hi, I hate doing self promo so I'll just say that this indie board game coverage channel that could is about to hit a milestone of sorts. There is no skeet that can summarize who we are or what we do, but we do cool work and you should check us out. www.youtube.com/@NoPunIncluded

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

Tariffs are putting US game companies out of business. (Note this is the US subsidiary of AMIGO, not the whole German company)

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more. If you want to support this Native: bit.ly/3L67Yrs

RIP.

If you put utensils pointy side up in the dishwasher, I think you missed your calling as a dungeon designer. You clearly have a knack for laying traps.

It's our anniversary! Come party with us!

Our episode with Yass Crit, features Bill Skaggs, Mark Cashwell, Ilana a la Mode, and AfroDytee. In it, we explore the fabulous collision of drag and tabletop role-playing! Listen here: proudtogayme.podbean...

Unionized workers with @kickstarterunited.org are poised to strike if the crowdfunding platform's management doesn't approve their new contract. The union has demanded a four-day workweek, minimum living wage salaries, and protections against generative AI encroachment.

Wouldn't it be cool if we got 100 people signed up for the 100 page game jam? We wrote this post a week ago and scheduled it, I hope it's still relevant.

D&D IS SPORTS NOW

A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help). If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.
