Ca-caw! This Saturday @tabletopscot.bsky.social we'll be talking with, deep breath: @catthm.bsky.social @lostpages.co.uk @peregrinecoast.press and @elainelithgow.bsky.social about the future of roleplaying games! Join us live, in person, or online in the usual places at 2030 UK / 1530 ET / 1230 PT

⚔️I've known and admired Chrys for a long time, and I'm so excited to see the progress she's made through this Kickstarter. If you're into queer fantasy #TTRPGs, or swords & sorcery, you've only got 48 hours left to back this! ⚔️

Here is my fruit: Because of social dynamics, how fun a TTRPG isn't that good of a metric of the quality of a game; you can have fun with the right people and *any* game. A better way to determine a game's quality: How consistently does it honor what it promises?

Hey everyone, I just came in, why is "Thank Fuck" trending? #Eurovision

Yeah, same.

I'd swear that's a U2 song Lithuania are singing. #Eurovision

This is the only explanation that makes sense.

"Surely, the same Micheál Martin who was just a few weeks ago japing about Ireland’s housing crisis in the Oval Office with a bona fide fascist should have some empathy for statements made during a performance." This week's Surrealing in the Years.

My traditional Warpcon Saturday afternoon game with @gregorhutton.bsky.social and @donogh.bsky.social (and this year's guest star @angelonikolaou.bsky.social) is The Big Store. We've got a great team so far - Billy Two Brains, Woody the Bolt, and Vivienne LeClair.

Another day, another moment of gratitude to that Gmail designer who thought of adding a pop-up to say "You say you've attached something, but you haven't; are you sure you wanna send this?" 🙏

This is such a well-argued and thorough rebuttal to the reflexive assumption that only liberals and feminists have agency in the discourse about masculinity. I especially like the point of how trying to pander to childish misogyny will only backfire. www.liberalcurrents.com/swiping-left...

There are always interesting articles on art site Colossal, but I just discovered they have a tag which helpfully collates all of their articles listing public domain resources 🙌 www.thisiscolossal.com/tags/public-...

13th Age 2E has been named the 8th most anticipated game of 2025 on EnWorld! 🏆 With updated class powers, revamped icon connections, and fearsome new monster abilities, this edition builds on the best of d20 fantasy and story-focused gameplay. #TTRPG #13thAge #EnWorld

Have you been asking yourself lately "Why doesn't someone write an essay about [X topic]?" Have you considered that YOU are the one to write that essay? Are you up for it? We are! Pitch your ideas and your working drafts to Analog Game Studies! [email protected]

Happy Friday, all! Hope you've had a productive first work week of the year. Over the break, friends were shocked to learn I only know/use three PC keyboard shortcuts - CTRL+X, CTRL+V, and CTRL+Z. What am I missing, Bsky? What are your favourite or go-to shortcuts?

Choking to death with a post-Dragonmeet lurgy, and trying rapidly to teach myself what the new GPSR regulations coming in next week will mean for my small business. The glamorous life of #TTRPG professionals! 😒

Most important prep for #Dragonmeet - sending off my postal vote for #GE24. It wasn't easy to set up, but totally worth it.

I'm pacing the room while chewing my fingernails, and understanding the relativity of time. There are few clearer ways of experiencing time expanding towards infinity than going through the last 7 hours of an important crowdfunding campaign! 😰 (this one, ICYMI: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/p...)

A Kickstarter for a TRPG based in Te Ao Māori and made by a Māori team: Tipua: The Wrath of Ngārara - A Māori TTRPG www.kickstarter.com/projects/4ph...

Sure, Lords of Waterdeep, everyone's a winner - but _some_ of us are more winners than others...

Thanks Freddie! 😊 I'm still very proud of the Dracula Dossier. I think it's a fantastic campaign.

Welcome, new followers and mutuals, and a céad míle fáilte to Single Letter Site migrants. It's so much friendlier over here!

This was a lovely, hopeful story to read on this cloudy autumn day: www.uncannymagazine.com/article/the-...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #540,649!

For @robheinsoo.bsky.social...

A detail from a larger painting. I often include cats in my paintings - sometimes my own - and frequently in a ruff.

Undisputed queens of all they survey.

A Russian way of expressing the idea that love is precious or not easily discarded is любовь не картошка не выбросишь в окошко. It means “love is not a potato – you cannot throw it out the window” Read on for more potato phrases from around the world (a short thread to mark National Potato Day)...

Hey man have you heard our skeletons are cartilaginous that’s right some of us have five gill slits personally I have seven hey let’s go chomp on some bluefins have I mentioned I’m the winner of an embryonic battle let’s go let’s go let’s go

There needs to be a sad MAGA Christian country song where the singer’s wife left him, but instead of Jesus it’s a prayer to Donald Trump. “I dedicated my life to you,” “only you understand,” “send me a MAGA wife”, stuff like that.

Not sure how I missed Badger + Coyote first time around, but I need more cosy RPGs in my life. (And Dialect is an innovative and engrossing experience of language and community, highly recommended if you haven't already come across it).

Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

@alphastream.bsky.social is a tireless crusader for good in our hobby. So delighted for this recognition! 👏👏👏
