When in Rome

I briefly went on the other site and... it's a hellscape.

My phone thinks we are not on a train but we are 208km/h over the speed limit on the country road beside the motorway

Hello new followers! I make RPG spellbooks and live with a terrorist cat.

Reshare: Beyond the Pale deals with a complex situation around land, people, and persecution that's handled with enough care to render it both simple enough to understand and complex enough to give pause. Like the parables that inspired it. www.rascal.news/beyond-the-p...

When Bari Weiss and CBS decided to censor the report on El Salvador’s brutal prison, they didn’t realize that bootlegged copies would surface. Please share it with everyone you know and drive these fascists crazy.

Have you been good this year? The Sackfather's verminous spies whisper the names of the virtuous and the wicked in his goatish ears.

having blusky's set to make you click-through to see anything flagged as "adult content" is great, because it's like a little surprise present. 90% of the time its an anime girl in a bikini the remaining 10% someone is trying to insert an entire washing machine into their ass

How blissful it is to come from a culture (or class, or gender, etc) used to pointing the bayonet, and never know what it is to have the bayonets pointed at them. But also utterly boring. My biggest annoyance with "don't humanise monsters" is that it always, no exceptions, makes blander stories.

You see we're the good guys because OUR weapons are silver. #art #trenchcrusade

frodo: "gandalf.. could we not have tom bombadil carry the ring?" gandalf, wincing slightly, sighing pissedly, rubbing the bridge of his nose: "tom is.. extremely high"

Reading @metallicaisrad.bsky.social's new book about Guitar Hero and Rock Band and apparently the games "doubled the world's need for drumsticks"

This is the game that sold me on Tiny Library

My toxic trait is seeing this and thinking ‘I can fix him’ #printmaking #letterpress

Tonight in Stonehell, the Beheading Gang decided to face four megatanium defence robots. Result: zero defeated bots, 3 dead PCs. Two however have been reanimated, one as a balefire skeleton, one as a shadow wight. Total number of campaign casualties: 21.

Super interesting thread

We played Mythic Bastionland. It is really good. I might do a sort-of-review after my thoughts percolate some.

The feminine urge to bind necromancy grimoires.

Tiny leatherbound books happening. I need to leave (dinner date!) but I should be able to finish tomorrow 😁

our bluesky safety manager replied with this to a woman venting after ICE kidnapped her husband, and then banned her. How do we trust this person to have the empathy needed to be in charge of safety on this website? what the fuck? if we spam the feedback, it might get somewhere @safety.bsky.app

Making Magic Marvelous - The Dragonmeet Talk! @gonzohistory.bsky.social talks about improving magic design in RPGs while I interrupt him like a lunatic sorcerer. Alas, the zombie-dog tale was not recorded.

Want a more complex way to handle utterly irresponsible spellcasting?
