Well this week has been wild, recovered from a bad bought of covid, starting a course in learning Web development, starting up going to the gym to help my with a few of my health issues. I also managed to finish writing the Slayer Class so that should be up for folks to see around Halloween!

Nearly five years on, PPE Medpro, the company linked to Michelle Mone, will have to pay back £122m for the defective gowns it sold the government. Now it’s time to go after the ministers who handed out contracts worth billions to their political chums. https://bit.ly/46RjgY4

"In a landmark study, OpenAI researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits." www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

Gods the burnout is high rn. Work in local government is sitting there for months with the sword of damocles over your head, and seeing news each week of how things are getting worse. It is really starting to grind me down now, I just get home from work and want to sleep.

As someone who's been in this for the long haul, and seen it break more than not, I get it. I can already see game dev bsky coming out of the woodwork with the cautionary tales. I still fundamentally believe it is good to dream.

Question: Are there any good sources of information for researching Kaiju and similar entities in media? Am working on a thing for Druids and was hoping to do some research into the topic of titanic creatures in different media.

Just a quick update post on us coming back to writing stuff! kcmedia.itch.io/20sa-core-ru...

Hey all so I am sorry not been too active or engaging with folks here or with streaming or other stuff, turns out I perfectly timed my 2 month break with everything going to hell in my day job. I will be starting up the fires of game writing and stuff if for nothing else but to give distraction...

Wow this is a whole lot of announcements but really fun to see so much enthusiasm from everyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1zT...

Don't worry, this is normal WAR behavior.

Stephen Kinnock is lying. People don't lose PIP when they get a job, its not an out of work benefit & plenty of people on PIP work Kinnock knows this. What he's doing is part of a wider govt strategy to paint disabled people as shirkers & scroungers stealing from working people

Lee Saunders, President of US public service union @afscme.bsky.social speaks to UK public service workers in Liverpool at UNISON conference #uNDC25 youtu.be/uSsRMcAd4JI

In the middle of week of union conference to see so many messages about TTRPG discourse..... what the hell happened?

People who abstained from voting to decriminalise abortion: -Wes Streeting (health secretary) -Bridget Phillipson (women and equalities minister) -Rosie Duffield (top feminist and woman defender)

Toomaj, the famous Iranian rapper and freedom fighter who has been one of the biggest targets of the Islamic regime, has posted this statement. Toomaj has been out of prison for the past few years and has sacrificed a great deal fighting for freedom.

Absolutely not. If you’re gonna go mock disability activists on X as ‘silly Bluesky people’, just stay there

This lawsuit is brutal. One of the exhibits is the letter Universal sent to Midjourney, including a quote from a 2022 Forbes interview that I bet midjourney regrets

So far at UKGE have been running alot of Candella Obscura and Never Stop Blowing Up. They definitly are proving to be very good systems for convention play.

Hey all the update World Speaker Class our version of the Druid is out kcmedia.itch.io/20sa-core-ru... in addition we have an update for June/July here: kcmedia.itch.io/20sa-core-ru... TLDR no Playbooks these months we are taking a break and catching up on technical debt from previous Playbooks.

Ugh I hate the fact music YouTube has become infested with AI songs. Like so much of my recommended feed is AI which is a shame cause the human cover and original artists are so great but finding new ones is now next to impossible.

Having GMed for Games on Demand the past few years it is alot of fun and looking forward to running more this year! 100% recommend!

Yo #TTRPG people, any of you coming to UK Games Expo at the end of the month and want to help out at Games on Demand, feel free to send me a message over the next few days! I will absolutely buy you a beer at the very least!

Sharing so you can block it

Quick Update on our releases. TLDR June and July won't be releasing a Playbook to give us a chance to catch up on technical debt elsewhere. Also give me a chance for a break. kcmedia.itch.io/20sa-core-ru...

So who is going to be at UKGE this year?

Forgot to do this but for #DragonWeek I made a small worldbuilding video just chatting about how I treat the origin myth of Dragons for my worlds. youtu.be/cVJ8gABVMZA

Gonna say with the new SRD was not expecting as many Feats or the new spells getting added. So looks positive on that front now for the older editions to go CC
