Today is so odd...

I've realized recently that a lot of #TTRPG that I use are several years and in some cases decades old. Anyone got something fairly recent I should check out? (Yes, I've seen Daggerheart)

"If you hate GenAI you're going to have to stop playing new games when they all start using it" My brother in Christ, my backlog is literally thousands of games long. I have lifetimes worth of earlier titles to play, & I will gladly do that instead of boiling the oceans for a new CoD or whatever

Games on my list that I need to check out: Mothership Breathless Whatever the heck Forbidden Lands is. Runequest One Ring Alien (I dunno why but they gotta be doing something right) Lamentations of the Flame Princess Alice is Missing Stars without Number Cthulhutech And Traveller.

I got paid the nicest compliment a GM can get from a player: "I don't wanna run my game next week, I wanna play more of yours."

Anyone else notice Manga is following the same dark shit that alt comics did back in the 90s?

YAKUZA TIME! TWITCH.TV/THEOPTIMALDUO

It's my birthday today! All I ask is my art to be shared today. #art

Time for more Yakuza Kiwami 2 over at twitch.tv/theoptimalduo

It is kind of telling that even if AI *could* do our jobs, that is a terrible outcome because now we can just go starve instead. I genuinely would like to be excited about AI, but that would require I not be buried under evidence of how harmfully it will be used.

I'm playing more Yakuza Kiwami 2 over at twitch.tv/theoptimalduo RIGHT NOW!

Goddamn it. I am a shill.

Games should give you the tools to continue to play them if/when they get shut down. You should keep access to the product you paid for If any of my EU viewers agree, I urge you to sign the petition Stop Killing Games EU - eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#... UK - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

I'm drafting the next Expendables module for D20 Live which has boiled down to a Madlibs "___ gets stuck in hell!"

"We know that WotC failed to get a digital version of D&D running and ended up buying D&D Beyond for $146 million, refused to buy a VTT, tried to develop Sigil, and that failed within weeks." Quite a sentence. Puts into perspective anything Wizards might be thinking.

in a couple minutes, I will be playing Pathfinder for the very first time with D20 Live as we play a module made by one of their viewers my pregenerated character's backstory begins with "Born from a dead mother amid screams and disgrace" check it out at youtube.com/d20live and twitch.tv/d20live

Sharing this here to get the word farther

THE KID CURLED INTO MY CHEST TO SLEEP! AAAAAHHH!

*hysterical laughter*

When planning your morning on the last day of a con, make sure to plan an extra hour for check out to work around the single working elevator in your hotel.

"Happy Father's Day Mike!" What do you mean? I don't... Oh shit!

America shouldn't need a British guy to remind them of this. #nokings

I'm really proud of how the green paint ended.

One of the most entertaining writing exercises I can remember was when WOTC had their setting contest (which lead to the publishing of Eberron). The heart of it was the constraints - the necessity of framing the essentials of a setting in a single page.

If you complain about a "dm/gm" shortage, you are ultimately leading this hobby to AI dungeon masters. There is no game master shortage, there is just idiots at the top of this hobby who can't teach.

With this being pride month I'm honestly really happy how many members of the D20 Live community have found safety in my community in declaring who they are. Thank you for deciding my space is safe.

Good night, everybody! Hope you’re all having a great Pride Month!

Anytime we criticise GC's/Terfs we should insistently focus on the fact that their "fight" is predicated on the false notion of the trans predator. Not calling them out on creating their own boogeyman lends credence to their argument. We have to point out that they are fighting windmills.

"Mike you can't just go on about Exalted lore! It was from the early 2000s! It can't be that progressive!" Mpreg, genderfluid moon god!
