If you're a bookseller or tabletop designer with thoughts about DriveThruRPG's Partner Shipping Program -- specifically its cut from sales -- I want to hear from you for a followup article! Email: [email protected] Signal: ChaseTC.24 Or DM me here.

...I think I'm officially going to make at least one spelling or grammar mistakr in every one of my posts from here on just to stay consistent to my skeeting habits.

What are they separate???

My entire career

My game CONVICT-ION is included in this charity bundle along with over 200 games for only $12 USD! itch.io/b/3276/hello...

dropout, you could do the funniest thing right now...

If you're not over 65 or have certain risk factors, it might be hard to get one but not necessarily impossible. Here's what to know about the confusing and fast-changing rules for getting the shot.

D&D NIGHT: PARTY: Cheesecake Factory!!! GM: This is a medieval setting. PARTY: … GM: It’s Cheesecake Guild, dammit. *five minutes later* GM: Do you want to go to Cheesecake Guild or the whorehouse first? PARTY: CHEESECAKE GUILD

Another day of surviving the end of the American Experiment. Trying to stay afloat so I can improve my health. Need to raise $800 by the 23rd to avoid a gap in crucial medication. Raised $125 so far. ko-fi.com/chezdispense...

1000% this. Nine Sols is amazing and there's nothing quite like its Taopunk setting. If you ever grew up with the Hong Kong jiangshi movies (like Mr. Vampire), exploding a talisman over a cybernetic jiangshi is a high you never knew you could have.

Yeah, like respectfully, opsec is in fucking shambles. Bluesky is public and you are NOT as anonymous on the Internet as you think you are.

Just a heads up for Canadians, if you get a text from “Voter Research Services” do not click any links or respond in any way. There is no official organization called that and it’s likely a scam. When legit polling companies contact you, the caller id usually has their name (ie Tell City Hall)

...I'm pretty sure this is end up with a case of human trafficking for "organ donation"

As the TTRPG media sphere contracts, we're expanding -- Rascal is hiring a news writer! We're running a short 2 week pledge drive, offering a 6 month, 25% discount, celebrating our Diana Jones Award... nomination... in order to support this new hire.

After some private donations, I am $300 away from my goal. I am nearly there.

I'm available for sensitivity consultations! My calendar is wide open, with the exception the week of August 4, because I don't work during my birthday week. 🥰 towerofbasil.wordpress.com/sensitivity-...

This had me screaming when I was writing for LO:SK. 😵

A reminder for anyone going to Gen Con next week: Please MASK on the plane there, in the convention, in bars, restaurants, anywhere that isn't well ventilated!!!

Advice for people calling Visa & MasterCard to complain about their censorship of sexual content ⬇️ The tldr is call at least twice on different days and keep them on the phone for longer.

Fiiiine, apparently half my readers enjoy an info dump, so here we go! Grasslands Sequester Carbon Too or “Why trees are not the be-all and end-all.” Ahem. *takes a sip of water*

Hello I will be at GenCon. Specifically, I will be at the Roll For Combat booth (booth 1949) Thursday from 2 PM to 4 PM to meet up, sign things, and whatever.

One way to tell if you've got too many mannerisms, hand movements, sighs, and the like in a scene: Have your friends act out just the physicality of a scene. If they're all doubled over laughing by the end, you know what you did.

Caught the final episode of the first season of Murderbot last night. The whole first season was just lovely, and I'm delighted that it's gotten a second season. Congrats, @marthawells.com, and everyone else involved, both for the season that's wrapped up, and for what is to come.

The cost of cancer isn't over once it's in remission. Between paying for procedures from months or years ago to ongoing testing and check-up, the medical bills keep growing. Every dollar helps. www.gofundme.com/f/help-owen-...

Pre-emptive PSA, cause it's popped up and immediately raised a flag. Bsky has just implemented receiving like and retweet notifications *on retweets you've made* Since I know some folks would not like this, yes, you can disable it, and here's where you can do that. You'll need to update the app.

We have a stretch goal where I run a role-playing game! You can see me get flustered when you go off plot! You can hear me forget NPCs' names and just call them all "Bob"! You can witness me draw a map with a mouse that looks like the Will Graham encephalitis clock from Hannibal! Back it now!

Are there any smart and sensible mutuals who write good 5e/One D&D monster stats for money? I need something for a project.

This should not be happening anywhere, let alone in the U.S. This must stop.

My sympathies for all the community managers that now have to handle the rage because their higher ups don't know how to practice discernment. Seriously it's as frustrating as unsurprising that more & more companies continue to fail the test. You may not do politics, but politics going to do you.

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

Brain: Hi, would you like to contemplate the selective evolution that might result from AIs becoming a prevalent part of society? Me: Really, I schedule a writing break and this is what you do? Brain: Um, yeah? Me: ...I'm going to make you binge Murderbot later today.
