Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

Friday at last…

The California-based TTRPG convention Big Bad Con, which focuses on indie and marginalized creators, confirmed today that it has decided not to host a physical convention in 2026 due to the current political climate but is still determining its plans going forward. @bigbadcon.bsky.social

The word "myriad" can be used as both a noun (synonymous with "lot of") and an adjective (synonymous with "many"). Personally, I strongly prefer the sleeker, stylish adjective form. "Her reasons were myriad." versus "She had a myriad of reasons."

[man reading news]: not a fan of this worldbuilding, not very clearly explained, 2/5

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.

the alt art covers for the new Forgotten Realms books are so sick!! what!!

Yeah, this is full-hog Radio Rwanda / Der Sturmer tier stuff. Gives you an idea of whom they're going to end up hiring.

Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

My heart continues to go out to my game dev kin in video games 😭 wishing you all a very quick new job offer and huge sympathy as AI-obsessed leadership continues to gut our industry

The implication of a lot of Trump admin action is that the US can never be good at green tech so it has to lock the world into its rent driven fossil resource economy. A really bleak view of American potential.

If folks I know are organizing charity actual plays this coming month to support food banks/hunger-oriented mutual aid, I would love to talk about running a one-shot of Daggerheart for you.

On our @whatatimepod.bsky.social recording today we talked about a Wise Old Tree and you KNOW this classic came up

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

@barilleon.com's japan trip photos are making me want to pick up studying japanese again

We're playing at 6 Pacific tonight! Come join us in a brand-new Daggerheart campaign frame by @phoenixiwaki.bsky.social and @yocean14.bsky.social.

Heard about the Louvre jewel heist and my first thought was “finally, some good old fashioned normal crime”

We have a number of positions open within the D&D TRPG studio, including multiple Game Designer roles! If you're interested in joining our adventuring party, apply here and elsewhere on the Hasbro jobs portal: jobs.hasbro.com/job/Renton-G... #WOTCstaff #dnd

are you serious bro you're gonna have people go be in community together??

Here’s a little process video from the latest Critical Role Aramán flash sheet! Prints available ⚔️

🧵 As a GM, I say ditch the mindset that "no" is bad, at the table. "No" can 100% be abused and can stifle fun, that's true. But it's contemptibly narrow-minded to vilify "no". Used skillfully, "no" can inspire creativity, protect the integrity of the table, the game world and the story. (1/6)

This is straight up white nationalist talking points posted by the DHS.

Yo Shionara's worldbuilding has got me so excited to play in this world! Come check us out!

This is cool after the war on everything called “porn” by platforms and payment processors. A machine that stole all your words can generate and sell “erotica” but you can’t haaa

Every dollar invested in so-called 'AI' instead of clean renewable energy is a dollar that drives the price of electricity up instead of down.

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book. [email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories. Please feel free to share.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

A few pointers on how to maximize the fear and loathing for your villain. Seems mean, but a boring villain kills your game fast. koboldpress.com/game-changer...

In video games, you will often find a fully roasted chicken abandoned on the ground, and eating it extremely quickly makes you feel better. What's less known is that this is also true in real life

I will gladly draw all of the frogs as a symbol for the movement, explicitly to take them back from the fuckers who co opted Pepe for their nazi shit.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it? Chiitan forever

Such a delight to hear the @dungeondudes.bsky.social and @jamesjhaeck.bsky.social heaping (much deserved!) praise on @mikerunderwood.bsky.social on this week's Eldritch Lorecast. And now I'm REALLY psyched for the Daggerheart version of Drakkenheim.

the DREAD actual play is back!!! Back when I was a wee intern at Geek & Sundry, Ivan's DREAD show was the greatest actual play ever made... And now the maestro is back 👀

"It’s a beast. A monster. A behemoth. But it’s a behemoth of the very best kind. It’s a CR 30 epic boss of a book with a treasure hoard of inspiration. I don’t know what you expected from Keith Ammann, but it was probably this." Read the @scrollforinit.bsky.social review: scrollforinitiative....

When I turned 30 I had not yet written my first published book or my first published novel and did not know (or know of) some of the most important people in my life. I didn't know how much my life could still change, and did, after the age of 30. There is so much your life still yet to live.
