most ppl don't know this, but the reason kobolds don't appear in Rasputin Must Die is the Paizo devs couldn't figure out how to safely introduce a species that seeks to serve the evilest villains to 1900s Earth. a solution to this challenge would not be found until 2 years later, in Minions (2015).

Apparently it's the 30th anniversary so I have to clamber back onto social media to promote my highly respectable creation. cattail-kobold.itch.io/steamed-hams...

looks at you like this

I genuinely cannot recommend Eskie's services enough as an editor, a game designer, or an artist of little guys.

and on the first day, god created the partridge in the

imagine if midway through Babadook, the scatman shows up and starts singing to banish the monsters. the next 30m are a goofy frolic of him scatting about facing your fears. Then he leaves and the Babadook immediately comes back, more pissed than ever, bc it has no idea what all That was about.

it's really messed up that a ritalin crash doesn't also make you sleepy when it sends your crankiness levels to 100. at least knock me out before I can start shit, man.

"queer just meant 'weird' back then" um hi then explain this flawless summary of the queer mindset

After years of behind the scenes effort we have LICENSED Baman Piderman lmao. It'll be coming home to our channel in august. This is literally the best I could do and took me about 7 years!! I HOPE THIS WILL MEAN SOMETHING TO SOMEONE!!

Two decades of bedwetting over a country that has some mix of a lack of firepower and good sense not to engage the US in major conflict. Just what have we been doing here.

Re: Paizo and Pride month! If you’re wondering if our support of Pride (lots coming up in the next month) is genuine, the answer is absolutely yes! Our queer content comes directly from queer staff and freelancers. That being said, we are still a corp so don’t forget to support indie queer creators!

Eskie's editing work on A Clatter of Kobolds was absolutely indispensable, and she keeps a fast and efficient pace. Strictly on a professional level, it's a pleasure contracting her for projects. :)

if it seems like I haven't posted here a lot, it's because I'm restraining myself from venting nonstop about the Space Station 14 cooking experience.

Moving along with more Pathfinder Party members, here we have the party's Kitsune ranger! #Pathfinder #DnD #Kitsune

gf, 2 inches taller than me: you're so little! me: untrue. gf: you're so small! me: nope. gf: i could scoop you up.. me: no gf: like a PELICAN.. me: n. what??

Last week, my party met Malfeshnekor, a fiendish predator split between two bodies: a murderous wolf and an unassuming goblin girl the party had previously befriended. D&D barghests would be so cool if they'd just let the goblins be hot.

thinking about my weird scifi yuri girls where one of them is a biomechanical spaceship with no humanization and the other is a neet furry

I think this is one of my favorite books. It's got the ideal balance of drama, misunderstandings, and sapphic disaster.

yeah sure, here's a sketch of an original game character i did in a manic haze earlier

Every polycule PF2 group needs that one member who is not part of the polycule, has no interest in joining the polycule, and is really just doing their own thing. Otherwise it's just a really overtuned ERP session.

As a general rule, we as a society really need to stop conflating *fictional power dynamics* with actual social power and the accountability it entails. "I had a bad time tonight" -> "the person fictionally in charge must have done something wrong". Stop trying to actualize fictional hierarchies!

My gran (b.1931) had gay/trans stuff explained by her mother when she was maybe six? It is what is, you can’t hurt anyone, etc. She essentially spent her life not caring. Late on I had to explain it wasn’t because of weak mothers, etc. She understood & became appalled anyone would bother them.

I think one of the best things devs can do right now to support this dying ecosystem is support the independent journalism covering their respective scenes. For two reasons: - You get good journalism out of it - You're investing in the space you live in I wholeheartedly recommend Rascal.

You ever think about how GMing norms, especially in D&D, have fully accepted the idea that the GM's fun is immaterial to a session's success? "It's okay that the players stomped your bossfight as long as they had fu" buddy, I spent 3 hours prepping that bossfight. I didn't do it for them.

This is the article I think of every time I hear about a game that's "super hackable" or "able to tell any kind of story, really". possumcreek.medium.com/rules-are-a-...

Increasingly I have come around to the perspective that "hackability" of TRPGs is not actually a positive of the medium and is instead an overall neutral aspect that often dips into the negatives when used to justify Bethesda-esque "it's fine that the game is bad because YOU can fix it!" stances

*worst person you know voice* imagine how much more it'll be worth now that it's a rare defective model... the line can only go up

The Sniper from TF2 should have to personally walk to collect the bullets from every shot he missed in order to refill his stupid gun.

that his supreme coze should come at the expense of my own--that this man's total comfort directly hampers my ability to get to bed at any reasonable professional hour--has not even occurred to his tiny half-slumbering mind.

the flap was supposed to say juicy in elvish but tolkien never thought that was important so it just says juice

No matter how many times I rewatch The Haunting of Hill House, this track still leaves me feeling devastated. (and really wishing I could find the version without the scare chord at the end. I know it's out there!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pgpk...

I GET KNOCKED DOWN--! *thump sound effect; half an hour of dead air before the tape clicks*

There is no more satisfying experience in GMing a long-running campaign than overhearing your players nervously arguing over whether the cute girl they just met is secretly the goddess Lamashtu and knowing you have utterly ruined their ability to trust.

Me, staring at my 4-days-old post which has 2 pity likes and a spambot repost: girl you cooked with this

if you think about it, the bathhouse owner Yubaba was the original inventor of what you would now call "head pets"

Eskie's a dear friend who could use a hand right now.

help me out bc im poor trans disabled etc. boost if you can't donate please 💃 my living expenses are debatably a better impulse purchase than a switch 2 if you're into that sorta thing

I think for this month's freebie, I'm gonna go back to where it all started and do page dividers, because the existing ones need more buddies 😌 ko-fi.com/alderdoodle/...

if you're planning to watch this season of #Andor, important reminder that Disney+ is on the BDS priority target list and you SHOULD NOT purchase a Disney+ subscription in order to watch! BDS is a Palestinian-led movement and TARGETED boycott—the meaningfully effective kind. don't buy Disney+!

Hi all! In honor of today being the 29th anniversary of a certain iconic Simpsons short, have a free 7-page #pf2e supplement loosely themed around one principal's quest to avoid admitting his roast is ruined. cattail-kobold.itch.io/steamed-hams... I put way too much effort into this.

They all tried to stop me. They all said "I mean it's a cute joke but I don't know if it's worth so much effort". They called me overcommitted to the bit. OVERCOMMITTED TO THE BIT!

this is very good for the supplement itself but in a general sense i suspect i am going to get a lot of mileage out of the "gaslight" ability lmao

I've been working hard on an extremely dumb PF2 supplement with an extremely tight arbitrary deadline. Here's a cantrip that didn't quite make the cut!

Um, not to brag, but a lot of accounts following fifty thousand people think I'm pretty cool and my posts are peak.
