Here's a genetics joke for all you bio-scientists! “What did Watson and Crick discover?” ... “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.” www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

If anyone in Pittsburgh is looking for a queer as fuck, affirming, welcoming-for-all-bodies weightlifting gym, I got you, fam. Pittsburgh Fitness Project in Lawrenceville. They even have D&D nights on Fridays.

To this day I have yet to understand why the reich-wing embraces the whole 'warrior culture' thing... Most of those fuckers couldn't lift themselves off the COUCH, let alone weights in a gym... It is the "Nazis loved Teutonic Mythology" thing? #Swoletariat tho... I like that one. I'mma use that.

Editorial cartoon: Don't bread on me. Enjoy :)

"I could smell the onions and mustard!" LOL

Stay safe, Chicago peeps! The goons are there just to terrorize.

You can google this and prove it is a lie yourself. Google Walmart Thanksgiving meal 2024, then google for 2025. The 2024 meal had premium items and more of them. The 2025 meal is barebones and all generic. This is a lie.

Spot on. It IS lazy... IF you use it all the time. You shouldn't let your players "just do" stuff... you can work it (and the rules) into giving them the scene they're craving and at the same time stay within the confines of the game - that's a learned skill that you develop as a DM.

Something I've been thinking about lately... Character death in TTRPGs. "Back in the day" (yes, I am THAT old) we rolled characters, explored dungeons with those PCs, slew monsters and occasionally died... but the 1e DMG goes out of its way to encourage us to roll more than one character. /cont'd

COATES: “Trump’s saying, ‘Y’all, I’m just gonna kill people.’ And the Greatest Deliberative Body has nothing to say about it. Y’all are punk, y’all are cowards.”

Yup.

That feeling when you built an entire plan to have a Hallowe'en theme to your D&D episode that happened to fall on Hallowe'en... but lost track of time, schedule changes and real-life stuff... only to find that the upcoming episode will in fact have the encounter you were planning - timing-wise! 😋

The reich-wing has been 'Wait... now Nazi uniforms are offensive to the left?" Yeah, pumpkin... nazi uniforms have been offensive to the left for nearly 90 fucking years. If you wear one, you deserve a punch and I will laugh when it happens.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

This is such a great callout… Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November? If not, you’re at the wrong church.

Hakeem Jeffries dragged her into next week. I’m loving this energy!🔥

Anyone concerned about the recent influx of "government" accounts to BlueSky merely has to start reading the posts they make. Stay vigilant! Also on an unrelated topic, posts that are deliberately false are reportable according to BlueSky's Terms of Service agreement. #themoreyouknow #melttheice

🚨 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago answers this question brilliantly. 1/2

Way to go @mothership.bsky.social !!! Love to see this!

It's fair to say that Critical Role is no longer "A couple of nerdy-ass voice actors sitting around playing Dungeons & Dragons..."

SIGNAL BOOST!

Can I request a HALFWAY DECENT "walkthrough" of a video game? Feel free to leave out: - how you beat the game using hacks - how you beat the earlier/mid-stage bosses with later-stage gear - how "easy" it was for you - that I should subscribe to your channel to get the REAL tips and tricks

This is from @kamikorinaa on Twitter! ⚠️If you guys are in Chicago or surrounding areas please stay safe and keep your families safe, Your friends, neighbors, coworkers etc. ⚠️ They're doing car stops, traffic blocks, and so on Monday September 29 around Illinois cities so be careful.

D&D adventure one-shot idea... The party are a group of matchmakers pairing up sorceresses and evil enchantresses with prospective princes and landed nobles... to both satisfy the trope AND not end up with m/any "evil kingdoms" as a result. I'll call it: "Witches Get Hitches"

Best campaign poster EVER. Kat Abughazaleh... endorsed by CAT Abughazaleh!

Is it possible the shooter simply mistook the victim for an average college student?

No doubt some hardcore-Pathfinder anti-WOTC people will start bleeding from their eyes at this... 🙄 The companies are just doing what the rest of us have been doing for years - using whatever materials we liked in our games. comicbook.com/gaming/news/...

if my entire argument for banning trans women in sports was that cis men are pretending to be trans women to win against cis women and I tried to make a documentary about it but could not find any cis men willing to do the thing i said cis men do i would simply never show my face in public again

Introducing the GOP base.

I like how the stock photo site Pixabay has introduced the ability to remove A.I. slop from search results. To exclude A.I., you select "Authentic only". I really like "authentic" as the defining, positive characteristic of non-AI regurgitation.

Ahoy mateys! Join us at 6pm Pacific (30 minutes from now) in the launch of our first episode of our new D&D Actual Play! Set sail on the high seas! (Every second Tuesday!) twitch.tv/wouldbeheroes

InB4 all the "Waah! Teh pink haired tieflings r ruining muh hobby" crying from the reich-wing grognards and their 'genetically evil' orcs...

❤️ Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Italians are the ones finally doing it

To the White House Chief Medical Officer and his staff: You have ONE fucking job. Keep that piece of shit Christian zealot Gilead-wishing-for psycho OUT of the Oval Office.

Dox them all!

Republicans are trying to redraw congressional district lines to keep their grip on Congress in the midterms and beyond.  Voters should pick their politicians, not the other way around. Get involved with the @democraticredistricting.com as they fight back: bit.ly/3HJ1ayW

Pay Attention. (Also a good video about the Spider-Verse!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQ90...

All hands on deck, #Canadian #ttrpg players! A beloved manufacturer of math rocks has had to stop shipping to the USA! So WE need to step up and fill in that gap!

Ann Johnson took the Texas republicans to task

Called it. Interesting that Perkins and Crawford are contributing custom subclasses to a game they left. But yeah... there was no way CR was going to NOT run D&D in some form. They know what side of the bread the butter's on.

Know what ELSE is an arthropod alongside shrimp? Spiders. ... would it work if YOU bite the radioactive animal instead of it biting you? ... I wonder what the proportional strength and speed of a shrimp are...

Stay strong, Boston!
