"Bobby, all I'm saying is 'Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles' was a poorly disguised ripoff of 'Small Wonder.' They had a robot who looked like a girl, and they had to send her to school and pretend she was human."

This is totally some Wildsea stuff...

“Carved in Stone” is a really neat #TTRPG sourcebook written by archaeologists about the Picts, a lost subculture in Scotland. Twitter is currently losing their minds about it for no good reason; my response is chronicled here. Book is from @stoutstoat.co.uk and it’s great!

Kindly link to these cases. If you actuallt infringe on someone's copyright, you can be sued. Just for claiming inspiration? No. That never happened.

Parenting thought: If you punish a kid for something they did, but don't tell them what the problem was, you're not helping them. You're just setting up a situation where they constantly second guess themselves. Anyway. This has nothing to do with @bsky.app moderation. Nope. Nothing at all.

I love portraying low-level spirits in my games as heavily ADHD Toddlers who assume communication difficulties with humans are because the poor humans are all in little boxes and words are "complicatey". The little guy is telling the PCs exactly what happened in terms that (to them) make NO sense.😂

Trying to write a bit at least. Working on my ice crawl pamphlet, set on a tidally locked eyeball planet. Because I am obsessed by them.

And that’s why you’ve got the same housing crisis in every other country at the same time, regardless of their immigration policy. And why all other commodities have also exploded in price, not just housing. No, wait, that means this is idiotic racist drivel.

After years of libertarian philosophers and economists wanking on about how essential free enterprise is to freedom and democracy, it turns out it just isn't. www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Looking back at primary documentation from the early RPG scene, what's notable is that the distinction is just that, not a serious divide. It fits with my suspicion that the negativity round "Theatre Kids" is a more modern construction, not authentically "old school".

Work in progress: "Narnia is actually Imp's second choice of destination [for filming amateur action furry porn], but Doc persuaded him that Moominpapa might have opinions about the arrival of humans intent on filming Moomintroll/Snork Maiden bukakke."

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity. If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

Wood chipper, feet first.

This is not a difficult problem to solve.

Oh I see it wasn't a PEDOPHILE sex trafficking ring. It was an EPHEBOPHILE sex trafficking ring.

Our website recently got an upgrade! It was initially built on WordPress in 2016 then after several hacks, was exported to HTML and put on @github.com's Pages in 2020. Now, it's been redesigned using Hugo and Claude Code. Let us know what you think!

It’s wild how TV told us that conspiracies were shadowy and hyper-competent and in reality the only conspiracy was that the NYT editorial board really wanted Trump to be president so they just… ignored all the e-mails the notorious sex trafficker kept sending them about his pedophile friend.

For those who wished M3GAN was an aspirational, feel-good story of capitalism done right, well...

Even if you're completely on Bluesky's side on this, thinking that quoting a Johnny Cash lyric in an obvious joke about a Johnny Cash article should be treated like a serious death threat, What the fuck do you mean, "Our mod team's turnaround time on responding to Death Threats is a month?"

This statement will be ironic when the next novel comes out No I won't tell you why But it does involve a cow

These are two reminders to people hiring writers/game devs for ttrpgs: + If your freelancer doesn't have a lot of material or guidance from you, you're going to end up unhappy with their work - and that's on you. + Expecting full scenario/adventure drafts in less than a month is unrealistic.

I think reducing dice rolls to bare success/failure is boring. I ask players to roll dice to see *degrees* of success. An 18 is not a 15 is not a 12. A dice roll introduces a point of uncertainty and heightens suspense. You dull that suspense if the outcome is the same on a 12 as it is on a 19.

New rule: All executive emails will be publicly posted and mocked for their grammar and writing. "If you can't use commas correctly, we don't trust your strategic decisions." The number of lawyers I've known who have to re-edit every email into passable English is considerable.

Any RPG-heads recognise this quote and know who originally said it (we think a game designer)? "Just because D&D is behind me does not mean it's beneath me."

Bitter struggle on the right between people who hate 100% of Jews and people who hate 75% of Jews

This is a good thread, and I’m about to agree with and disagree with it, but in a way that I hope is more clearly agreement because a) these are good takes but b) I *do* like rolling dice. This seems a conundrum.
