This 👏 man 👏 is 👏 the absolute 👏 worst Hey boardgame world, are we just gonna stand by and let this shit fly? They’re always going to do worse and worse actions until there’s no bending left. 🎲✂️

you know, what if they aren't actually a commentary on journalism or the state of media. what if these people are just extremely weird

The Third Day is like if Ken Levine wrote The Wicker Man

We’re not small business owners, ffs - we’re independent contractors, and we are routinely robbed by the world’s dumbest dingbats.

Spotify you can't put Florence + The Machine songs under the 'Chill' category, there's nothing Chill about how I experience that music

Kicking off a horror series with Dog Days means it's already a banger #nw

Tim Seeley will not escape his crimes

Love that there's a part of Kurosawa's Ran where a guy just starts doing comedy bits with a fox statue

Yesterday, striking baristas took action at Starbucks’ biggest distribution center that serves the entire east coast. Today, union stores in 25+ MORE cities are joining our national, open-ended ULP strike! Our union isn’t slowing down… in fact, we’re just getting started. #NoContractNoCoffee $SBUX

My PAXU Travel day POV

There seem to be a lot of TCGs suddenly bouncing around trying to lift off. Something more tariff proof?

Don't use the word disrupt unless you want your press email ignored (or at least read very skeptically)

Turns out I couldn't not use it as the featured image. Justice for Muppet Moné!

Almost had to use this for an article featured image because it's one of the only AEW Women's Blood & Guts photos that isn't gnarly as hell

Another friendly reminder my email is always open for indie ttrpgs who might want some press coverage!

Absolutely cannot wait to bust down the doors for a drink made by a company whose unionized workers are on strike in a store that doesn’t want to hire minorities anymore.

As you wait for the upcoming final season of Stranger Things, why not toss on some chill vibes crafted by Joe Keery himself, who makes music under the name Djo. Get the deets in this throwback from Jade. www.thefandomentals.com/stranger-thi...

Is your fave site down thanks to Cloudflares issue and the oligopoly that controls the internet? Well, why not do some light reading while you wait? www.thefandomentals.com/tag/ttrpg/

Love that the internet only runs on like 3 hosting services so when one goes down everything breaks

The Inprnt holiday sale is on! Support an artist and buy some prints. All proceeds will go towards my move. 🥰https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/miniktty/

Just need Inland Empire, Elephant Man, and the Arrow Video release of Dune and I'll be all set

Absolutely crushing news today of a really great guy in the Dragonlance community whose house burned down and while his family were able to get out he didn’t make it. There’s a gofundme here to support them. www.gofundme.com/f/help-idali...

CM Punk is the only wrestler who's ever been good at voice acting

Alice Wong, a writer and activist who was born with muscular dystrophy and who fought relentlessly for equal rights and access for people with disabilities, died on Friday. She was 51. nyti.ms/4r9WqEr

We've been seeing discussions about the art of Actual Play in the last few weeks, and it reminded us of some fantastic conversations that @rowanzeoli.bsky.social had with creators as part of her Off Screen miniseries. So let's revisit them!

Favorite guy in Yojimbo is the one that solves every problem with more gun

Kickstarter United Ends its Six-Week Strike with a Victory

A friendly reminder for pals heading to PAXU next weekend, just in case you’re overdue on getting your vaccines, no time like the present. They won’t hit full efficacy by con time, but something is always better than nothing! Let’s keep this con as safe as possible, make the appointment. 🧡✨

Let's go under the city and find some Infernal Steel Watch and KICK THEIR INFERNAL STEEL BUTTS! Join us on twitch.tv/crithitchronicles for Shadows Over Baldur's Gate!!! #dnd #ttrpg @crithitchronicles.com

It is astoundingly hard to find an RPG or board game group despite being in a city that also has Gen Con

This is why we don't build statues of Gary Gygax web.archive.org/web/20251114...

C R Y I N G this is so perfect lmao x: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ7cPSf...

Repost of this as well! And if you ever want to see how to do good, effective crowdfunding marketing I'd look at ambition. Robust press kit, plenty of images, and lots of different avenues to get the word out

Morning Repost! And an additional comment that one of my favorite things about YWDITP is, as Liz discusses in this interview, it's meant to a standalone work of art as much as a game. I think a lot of us consume indie TTRPG this way and it's cool seeing that factored into design.

Sometimes you see a game and you think "Oh my god I need to find out who did this and pick their brain." And I'm so happy I get to do that.

Oh yeah, here is an early playtest version that I'm polishing up.
