Today marks one full week where the least I've written each day is 3,000 words!!

I did a two part design commentary stream for Dragon Slayers! If you want some insights into the design decisions on the game, or just want to learn more about it, check them out. Part 1 youtu.be/Z_pI_FEfvnQ

Here's another TTRPG design post you'll want to read. When you are designing your own rules, you should do so in a way that is simple, clear and concise. The more "if this than that", the more load you add to the players/designers. Simplicity invites creativity. farirpgs.com/posts/simpli...

License to Kill is a new column from @newmadras.bsky.social diving into the whys and wherefores of licensed tabletop RPGs. In the first entry, he sets some ground rules and discusses Godzilla.

Come work with me!

 We've opened the search for a full time, tenure-track Assistant Professor in Game Arts at Pratt Institute. 

A good match would be an artist, game developer, or educator with an active creative practice in indie games, game studies and theory, playful coding, or art games.

I mentioned this stat from Alisa Wood of KKR in a talk I did a few weeks ago, but did you know: There are more private equity firms in the United States than there are McDonald's? (~19,000 vs. 14,000) In 1980, there were 24 PE firms *total* in the U.S. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

tfw your 1,000-word tweets aren't working

if there's an overarching theme of the last decade, (with obvious antecedents in 2009, 2000, 1994, and earlier) it's that one political faction believes governance to be a tool of warfare against their domestic enemies, and the other is surprised they keep getting attacked seemingly out of nowhere.

Uline's owners "have used their wealth to funnel millions of dollars into the most extreme RW politicians & mvmts... contributed $144 million to conservative groups in the 2024 election cycle... donated $4+ million to bankroll anti-abortion groups who pushed to overturn Roe v Wade." refuseuline.com

⚔️ Your midweek reminder that Swords Without Master is coming in early 2026! 🎨 I'm pumped for the Eidolon cards we'll be producing, which will feature inspirational art on one side and playable suggestions, tone references and bits of fiction on the other. www.kickstarter.com/projects/unw...

Realized Legends ZA comes out tonight at 9 digitally and worried about my physical copy not shipping on time tomorrow... Someone convinced me not to cancel and just order digitally.

Every Pokemon streamer I've seen play the Digimon game is so bad at it it's painful. HELP

Extremely bad news if true (and unlikely this reporter would run with it if not). The MMWR has been the earliest warning bell for outbreaks since it announced the first US cases, in 1981, of what was later identified as AIDS. This will be a grievous shock to what remains of US public health.

@randylubin.com Hey Randy! Just stumbled on StorySynth and wanted to ask a quick question. For the Shuffled template is there a way to work around "the end card is always last" so it doesn't come at the bottom of the deck, but 'towards the end' of it like in FTQ ?

Update: outer dungeons are the dumbest shit

Digimon Time Stranger thoughts so far (~8h in): * Very fun! Solid combat & digivolutions are still cool * Good nostalgia fodder even for light fans like me * UI remains a little clunky in places * Writing for other characters isn't bad, but the MC's dialogue & interactions are by far the worst part

Got into the World Cup ticket lottery! 🎉

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

I'm a broke indie creator and STILL it's not hard to pay people on time. Companies can & should do better.

Started a novella today I've been wanting to write for more than 5 years. Feels good to finally write the thing.

Based on @graphicpolicy.com's recommendation, I just finished LUCAS WARS by Laurent Hopman, Renaud Roche and @jeremymelloul.bsky.social, and it's a first-rate, beautifully illustrated retelling of pop culture history. Highly inspiring for Star Wars fans and creatives of all stripes.

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

hey so this is insane

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Lived long enough to see capitalism kill democracy. Fun achievement

NEW: Trump is designating "Antifa" a terrorist organization (though there's no legal mechanism to do - but the law doesn't matter anymore.) He's using the Kirk murder to justify going after democrats. Those of us who read Project 2025 knew this was coming - but that provides little comfort.

This is deeply, deeply chilling, and I suspect will be seen as even more of a turning point than Colbert's cancellation — at least The Late Show is still on the air.

It is the job of the Democratic party to sell and defend the policies that most Democratic voters want, not to present a candidate slate that is palatable to moderate Republicans who might switch if they hate their own candidate enough.
