I always agreed, somewhat uncritically, with Bill Buford that all you were going to get from Yes after Close To The Edge was Close To The Edge II and what was the point? And of course Tales From Topographic Oceans seemed to prove him right. But...

I know most of you are following me for RPGs, but if you're in the Philly or South Jersey area, I directed a musical that's opening tonight and runs for two weekends! The cast is great and the crew worked super hard. Also, Urinetown (the musical, not the place) rules.

Someone in my comments said he's trying to make a kiln hot enough to smelt iron using only stone age tech and now all these videos about bellows makes sense. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZz-...

First of the Draw Steel TTRPG tracker samples fresh off the laser. #drawsteel #ttrpg #gamingaccessories #upyourgame

This time tomorrow, all the testicles in the house will be mine.

Wonder Man Ep5 went from "why are we doing this?" To "this is AMAZING" in about 2 seconds.

Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the 100 day streak.

First test of Derelict!

Well that is an intensely cool idea and probably cooler than what I THOUGHT he was talking about at first which is the Ken Hite, Fall of Delta Green version of the CMDF. The Combined Miniature Defense Force. 🅵 🅰 🅽 🆃 🅰 🆂 🆃 🅸 🅲 🆅 🅾 🆈 🅰 🅶 🅴

Wow! The Small Faces?! youtu.be/8jYgctXpajs?...

We needed this gif, for reasons too complicated to go into here, but apparently it didn't exist. So we had to invent it. @djordi.bsky.social

Ok at some point later today, between 2 and 4 hours from now, we'll hop on twitch and try out Star Citizen in VIRTUAL REALITY! www.twitch.tv/matthew_colville

Maybe AI is really a virus that spreads by making its host talk about how inevitable AI adoption is.

Hearing this from Tim is just the best review possible.

Do you play Draw Steel? Do you play Draw Steel in space? Then you should check out my new supplement, 50* Timescape Complications! Inspired by my favorite sci-fi, this is perfect for your world hopping adventures. crossbreezegames.itch.io/50-timescape...

I will say; this is a show that's crazy in love with Get Shorty. But the main character is not Chili Palmer. That impressed me. They're not *stealing* Get Shorty, they're *doing* it.

Watched the first two eps of WONDER MAN. I like it a lot. They have no idea how to light a scene and they don't know where to put the camera, but I love the Get Shorty of it all and I love the two leads.

Great tiny modular rack, and a great patch! youtu.be/bckUFsgbZzw?...

Drew my Draw Steel party for the Delian Tomb (minus the character I'm playing)! Faaros - High Elf Censor Kyora - Time Raider Shadow Payne - Human Null Rook - Human Elementalist

You should watch THE HIDDEN

Possibly the greatest TV moment for 2025 #jamalimaddix #gregdavies #nevermindthebuzzcocks #taskmasteradjacent

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready! If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧵

I got to pet a cat at the vet.

I have decided to do a series of daily posts reviewing some of the submissions to the most recent Draw Steel #JamsOfTheTimescape. This first entry was randomly chosen out of all 118 submissions. A Imp Ancestry by Atomic Sorcery a name many know from Matt's Streams. itch.io/blog/1331561...

This sounds great, but it doesn't seem like CIG understands that "mining" exists in a context. The actual mining experience? Pretty cool! *Getting* to that experience? Tedious, annoying and at worst infuriating. They seem to prioritize tedium. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNxv...

Reminder: Presidents are a demonstrably dumb idea. An easy mistake to make when you're an 18th century Enlightenment landlord trying to invent a new form of government, but we now know there are better ways. archive.org/details/fail...

I had no idea how much of Andrew Hale's experience in DECLARE is literally just all the same stuff that happened to Philby. I mean I knew Hale was a "twin" of Philby, but I had no idea how much of their stories are the same. youtu.be/tfueNSNOGwg?...

That's incredible! Over 100 entries! Completely community driven, self-assembled. Amazing. Congrats to everyone who got their entries in and good luck! There's a round of judging next! itch.io/jam/jott02-a...

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.
