YEAH BUDDY

I can't wait for America to oppress Nazis again. Like, seriously. I want all Nazis to feel terror that their mask might slip, even a little. I want them to fear their hate might ever be uncovered because it would mean their capacity to participate in civil society would end.

This is epic games ceo tim sweeney objecting to steam making people tag their games if they used ai to make them. It’s weird how much work people do to treat people having preferences as fucked up or harmful

Happy 6th anniversary to my favorite sapphic fantasy couple! share.google/APSnS3CfuPx1...

1. She changed her ID to comply with Kansas’ new anti-trans law. Now, the state wants to put her in jail for having an inaccurate license. Kris Ripper is being charged with driving with an invalid license—a class B misdemeanor—after a cop refused to believe the ID the state forced on her was valid.

Another retailer shout out! This time to Birchbark Books in Minneapolis. These folks have been long-time supporters of Coyote & Crow and have been a joy to work with. If you're in the area, show them some love! birchbarkbooks.com

Happy Return to the Shire day to all who celebrate 🎉 (Just don't stay away so long that they presume you dead and auction off all of your belongings)

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

Andddd my RPG Trader account is alive! Right now it’s only holding the same stuff I had on itch, but I’m working on stuff in the background! rpg-trader.com/creator/936/...

TERFs are terrible without exception.

Reminder when they rolled this out in UK, it was about a week before the database was hacked and everyone's IDs stolen.

Everyone shut up I finally got a video of Jyn doing her cartoon snoring thing

Something something Pride, but also ...

There we go!

It never fails to bother me that all these billionaires want to be liked but yet never do anything likeable. They could take 1% or less of their entire fortune, donate it to a bunch of charities, and they'd be hailed as heroes for the profound difference they'd make in the world. Yet they don't.

Because I'm a complete goddamn nerd, I'd like to explain to folks (particularly Liberals) what a feint is, in sword fighting. People think it means "a fake attack." It doesn't.

Time to kick the elephant out of the room: Yes, I'm one of the people Paizo's laying off, my last day being July 7th. My heart is broken to leave the best team I've ever worked with - a team I've learned so much from. If you know of any game designer or developer openings, I'd love to talk to you.

I was laid off as a part of this restructuring. I loved working on Starfinder during my time at Paizo, with all of my amazing colleagues, who then became cherished friends. I hope folks enjoy my work in Tech Core, especially the Tactical Starship Combat rules. paizo.com/blog/paizo-r...

I'll say more when I can focus a bit, but for now ... While I'd love to stay in games, I'm also open to editor positions elsewhere in the publishing world. Fiction would be lovely. Before joining the games industry, I spent a decade and a half in higher ed roles that inform my work today.

Alright, formal post time: I’m officially looking for work. I gave myself a few days to process and now it’s time to Virgo up and get moving. I have just about three years of technical editing experience, five years of development experience, and I’ve been writing to spec since 2020.

If you're looking for ways to support the Paizo employees affected by yesterday's layoffs, this is probably a good place to start. www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder...

This blew my mind. Some of the largest data centers can require up to 5 million gallons of water per day, equivalent to the water use of 50,000 people. Why are we selling out the survival of our planet to enrich a handful of Big Tech CEOs?

We aren't getting updates on the Diamond Comic Distributors bankruptcy and JP Morgan Chase's lien on their consigned products as much anymore, but that doesn't mean the situation is resolved. TTRPG publishers like Paizo are still dealing with loss of access to their property.

Solid thread about the perils of having TOO MUCH money and time on your hands in the TV world.

Happy pride!

Let me be a shining example of this. You can totally be a gay woman if you want to.

Next spring, Paizo will release Tender of Dreams, the first novel in the Harrow trilogy. In addition to Radovan and Varian, the novel features the bard Lem and the sorcerer Seoni. There's much I can't reveal yet, but I will answer any questions I can.

Matt Dinniman should call the final Dungeon Crawler Carl novel The Winds of Winter just to be a dick.

Well, I had asked for someone to throw me a rope and they decided I wasn't good enough for the rope. Going to obsess and spiral over that rejection for a while. Sinking further into a "what even is the point" quagmire... Just doesn't seem worth it anymore...

Like Firefly? Like Mass Effect? Like stories of redemption and second chances? Well then you might dig my new space opera, WHEN THE STARS BLEED! It's not an impossible mission, but it's the next worst thing. Available in hardcover, paperback, and ebook! Get it here: www.amazon.com/dp/1645544052/

Been playing Windrose with friends. OMG it's so pretty and pirate-y! I named my ship after my Helldivers ship: Queen of Midnight

Sheppi is amazing! I hired him to make this piece for a now-canceled project. I would hire him again 100 times over if I could. #ttrpg #ttrpgart #yesthatsiomedae #yesthatiomedae

May the Firth be with you.

Slightly diminish a book ... Dungeon Crawler Cat

Ms. Frizzle is actually the time-displaced, adult, post-transition version of Arnold Perlstein, who is using the vast, godlike power entrusted to her by the Timelords to give her neglected egg self a better childhood. I will not be taking questions at this time.

"My box of cereal didn't have any cereal in it! Just some filling and a code to have some shipped to me!" "HA! You idiot! You didn't check the back of the cereal box to see if it actually contained cereal?" "Why would I expect that to be a thing?!" "PFFFT. You should watch more cereal news."

if you just avoid putting things on your to do list, then you're not behind on it
