Godspeed, buddy

You are telling people how many copies your TTRPG sold. You tell them: 1. The number of copies the core book sold. 2. The number of copies the core book + how many copies every single supplement sold.

YEG friends, this is my introduction to The Card Goat (grey text) and based on it I hope you're never introduced to them.

I've heard that this version also updated Times New Roman to a new version, and this made many people's files go wild and report that TNR was no longer installed. The amount of technical literacy people need to deal with the supposedly better/faster world of OSes and apps is pretty ridiculous.

instagram is now recommending me "dogs react to wrestling" videos and my faith in the internet is slightly restored.

The latest move by Sticker Mule's owner. Please don't give these people your money (or honestly send them your artwork, you never know).

Are you a nerd who loves tabletop RPGs AND A sex worker? I want to talk about All's Fair with you specifically!!!!!! Make yourselves known to meeee.

I am trying to rage uninstall Tahoe and it is, predictably, leading to even more rage.

Same for pre-prod text. You put lorem ipsum in there or [PLACEHOLDER] so you can string-search "lorem ipsum" or "placeholder" and you don't accidentally ship with it. Any actual text that goes in the game should be stuff you expect the player to see or -at least be okay with it- if it goes gold.

Tahoe is a disasterpiece.

"Manually editing the shortcuts file will be faster than updating all the shortcuts within the GUI!" It was not.

"cooking is just chemistry" Uh yeah, so it's black fucking magic.

I fucking dread the Discord arguments that are going to happen when someone reads an AI summary of a discord discussion and comes out swinging based on how the AI summarized it instead of what people said.

I have a feeling that Discord doesn't care much about what I think...

The No ICE in Minnesota charity bundle submission period is now open: itch.io/jam/no-ice-i... All games, free and paid, TTRPG and browser based-alike are welcome Submissions are open until January 26 & the charity bundle supporting a Minnesota based Immigrants' rights org will go live in February

Finished watching Heated Rivalry last night. It was a very good cleanse from... everything. I successfully kept myself away from spoilers and discourse before finishing it too. :D

<to the tune of pink pony club> gay hockey show

The huge huge tell in the original post was right up front: the claim that they had just given notice and didn't care about being sued. That didn't lend any credence to their claims, but would have made it much easier for the company in question to identify them.

I'm now officially contracted to deliver even more writing work in 2026 than I did last year, which means - if I want to have any hope of ending the year with a functional spine - it's time for me to invest in a decent ergonomic chair. Anyone have suggestions for favourite brands/models?

This advice is great. If you want art directors to check out your work, make it easy to find and easy for the AD to share it with other people. Don't be precious.

Night 2. Opposite corner.

What a way to start 2026! Woke up today to texts from friends outside of the Twin Cities: “Y’all had Kingston?!” Yes. Yes we did. 😁 From @f1rstwrestling.bsky.social’s #WREMIX Night 1 last night. Night 2 tonight at @first-avenue.com. Doors at 7: Show at 8. 18+ event. Tix available at the door.

I’ve been to a lot of great @f1rstwrestling.bsky.social shows at First Ave, but I genuinely think Wremix night 1 might have been the best top to bottom show I’ve seen them put on. Everyone stepped way the hell up.

Early start on worship for the year.

Declare smooches.

Happy new year. I hope you are all so lucky to have a sleepover with Georgie or another loving pupper this year.

It is time for the first annual inductions into the Adam Jury Podcast[1] Hall of Fame[2], featuring the first Hall of Fame induction and the first New-To-Me Podcast of the Year!

At my old coffee shop and they've renovated and I'm assuming new management? All new baristas? WHERE ARE MY CRUSHES?!?!?

Regular reminder that none of us in the TTRPG space are in competition with one another. We are ALL in competition with obscurity, uncertainty, confusion, and other ways to spend your time. And sometimes D&D.

Full card back

Everyone: "When I see someone talk about MTG, it's never the one I want it to be about." Me: Here, hope that helps

Last release of the year: "The X-Files viewing report", a booklet to print and document my (or your) viewing of the legendary show 👽 Available here: fantasticjean.itch.io/the-x-files-...

No ethical way to be a billionaire but funding a wrestling company and hiring a bunch of great talent ain't the least ethical way to be one, at least.

Feeling embarrassed by proxy about the bad/awkward first date happening next to me at the coffee shop. Two people asking questions, hearing answers, but not actually having a *conversation*

Oh, I had one of those! Except instead of being about how Elvis was a groomer, it was every time I posted that ULINE was literally run by theocracy-craving disinfo-peddling fascists and we should all stop using their services. Think I'll post this link again! He hates it. refuseuline.com

That was a nicely successful Deal of the Day, but boy I wish we got 48 or 72 hours notice before the DotD went live, instead of 24.

We are seven subscribers away from 2500! And you can become a subscriber for just $1, right now. Go on, you know you want to!

Less than an hour left on Eclipse Phase being only $5 as @drivethrurpg.com's Deal of the Day — www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

It is December, my good bitch. (this spam was sent from a Canadian phone number.)

Beyond getting the Deal of the Day promotional stuff ready early morning and launching it all on time, making good progress on a skunkworks-style internal project. I don't know if I'm going to hit my self-imposed arbitrary deadline on it, but I am CLOSER.

Today only! EP2 for 5 bucks!!

When you add an item to your TODO list, ask yourself: "Is this one item? Or is it two? Or three?" Add all the ding-dang TODOs you can think of, and then group them in related ways. Combine them if you can, and work on the ones that unblock the most downstream TODOs.

the two genders: melee and ranged

PER ITEM. I'm so tired. Sea-bound dumpster, take me with you.

C'mon buddy! You can make it out to sea, I believe in you!

I am willing to use "TTRPG" for marketing purposes but even these new-fangled TTRPGs have settings not lore.

As someone who has been using Adobe Acrobat since version 3, the commercial currently running for it during Thursday Night Football makes me want to die.

"Draw it on a napkin and send me a photo" gets shit done so much more quickly than many other drafting techniques, and certainly faster and more pure than AI image generation.
