When I played through OG Baldur’s Gate, I thought Beregost seemed to have a high amount of taverns per capita. Then it struck me, of course, it’s a college town! #BaldursGate #dnd

It's like we're stuck in a techno-dystopian Dickens novel.

Someone commented that they thought my maps looked almost hand drawn, and that they haven't been able to replicate my style in any programs... well, I told them that my maps look hand drawn, because they are... Working on some bark detailing in this video...

Archaeologists have unearthed a Bronze Age metropolis in the heart of the Eurasian steppe: an early form of city as complex as those of contemporary, more traditionally 'urban' civilisations, showing how steppe polities were just as sophisticated. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing America—and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

Huh... ".games" is usually a more expensive tld, but now I see there is a ".quest" at similar pricing to ".com" Some of you might find that useful info

The design decision which won narrative gaming Last week, Apocalypse World came back to crowdfunding, with the Bakers seeking funding for a Third Edition of the game. Apocalypse World was first released back in 2010 and it took the indie RPG world by storm; by the time Dungeon World was released…

Short version: Trump: I'm dismantling the Constitution, building a paramilitary fascist army loyal only to me, blowing up the US economy for my billionaire cronies, and destroying the planet. Schumer: Okay, but you have to extend subsidies for corporate health care Trump: No Schumer: Okay

The #1 lesson from yesterday’s blowout: Humanities majors killed on the job market 1) Mamdani- Africana Studies 2) Spanberger -French 3) Sherill - Global History

I know you've been holding your breath for *my* take on the election, so here it is. BREATHE.

From the top rope

DHS says they “don’t arrest U.S. citizens for immigration enforcement.” But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true. Don’t ignore their stories. If Trump can detain citizens—including combat Veterans—for days without cause, no one is safe from his whims.

If you are (or work for) a politician and have questions about how to use YouTube well, please ask.

Despite two separate courts ruling Friday that the Trump administration must fund SNAP amid the government shutdown, the president said his lawyers don't think the orders are legal and will need to look into it more.

My son arranged this cupcake beholder! Happy Halloween! #dnd #dessert

Haven’t read the piece yet. But it may be he best description I’ve heard of Klein generally.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

I wanted to share my newest AL adventure, Blackflame in the Broken Lands. It’s a Tier 3 Planescape adventure designed to fit into a Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign with content is inspired by the classic Mystara setting. Find it on DMsGuild: www.dmsguild.com/pro... #5e #DnD #AdventurersLeague

Trump's latest tariff changes, including the loss of de minimis exemptions, take effect today. Several small press tabletop designers are trying to anticipate the impending chaos.

For the slightly less technically savvy, you can head to Settings and find a relevant checkbox on the "General" landing section (under the "Tabs" subsection) ...it was checked when I opened it 😒

Lazy Memorial Day weekend with a classic, Dragon Strike! My sons have been busy crafting some new adventures.

CHICAGO…

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the planned ICE HQ in North Chicago, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Calling all Swifties to urge Taylor to sue Meta and its techno-fascist billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg, into oblivion.

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me. Dem govs must step up and fill the void. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Time for some worldbuilding! Thanks for the great reads by @oneshotrpg.bsky.social and @dungeonmastersdiary

The US president is literally directing the military to occupy cities around the country, as if they are his personal police force to persecute people he doesn’t like. How is it even a debate anymore whether or not we are living under an authoritarian regime?

Fantastic piece by @jamellebouie.net on the VRA and the long arc of the American Republic(s) (gift link)

i wrote an article about that stupid little question i asked a couple weeks ago, why i asked it, and how the answer to the question can be tremendously beneficial for ttrpg designers possumcreek.medium.com/does-super-m...

Thinking about this article this morning and how "game" is such an imprecise word and how it can encompass an improv game, pac man, monopoly, and basketball. I think as game designers we often can get constrained in the idea of what a game can be, when games levy no such constraints on us.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I'm so tired of hearing that we need to "teach our students how to use AI" when the thing they most need to use it is a critical-thinking skill set that can only be acquired by NOT using it. I'm tired of hearing that it's inevitable. I'm tired.

"That Putin is a brutal autocrat who snuffed out Russian democracy is incidental for Moyn and many realists. However, there is strong evidence that Putin fears the example of democracy in his near abroad and in the world in general." www.liberalcurrents.com/moyns-muddle...

I see grocery/takeout shaming discourse going around again, so this is your periodic historian reminder that cooking from scratch daily while working has never been sustainable, and for millennia everyone either relied on takeout & restaurants or ate in huge households w/ big dorm-like group dining.

I watched this (youtu.be/TMoz3gSXBcY?...) on the abuse of LLMs & 'vibe physics' by @acollierastro.bsky.social - well worth a watch! - and I was struck by how the back 15 minutes (the 'thought train') also summed up neatly what it has been like to be a public-facing historian, even before LLMs.1/

I've been teaching at Princeton over the same period and the drop-off in reading stamina has been staggering. I'm not sure of the cause -- some blame K-12 shifts to "chunk reading" while others pin it on COVID -- but it's undeniable.

Historians - as you think about the new semester, consider this first-day exercise as a way to get conversation going about what historians *actually* do, and the context within which we do it. catherinedenial.org/blog/uncateg...

We’re 200% funded overnight! Thanks to everyone who has pledged or shared the project across socials and with friends. We’re pushing for the teaching pack today. The funding will allow @culliope.bsky.social and @ichistorian.bsky.social to finish their brilliant project to the highest standard.
