Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

I guess I’m headed back to Ivalice.

It’s this exact vibe that keeps me from wanting to go back to games that use initiative.

Survived my first root canal.

Fun Fact: The writer of the Spaceballs sequel playtested the very first adventure I wrote. I vaguely recall he was a goblin barbarian with a New Zealand accent.

SPACEBALLS THE TABLE READ! It’s hard to believe we’re making another Spaceballs. It’s harder to believe Mel Brooks picked us to write it. So grateful to be working with this amazing cast and crew. This is beyond my wildest dreams. It probably goes without saying, but MAY THE SCHWARTZ BE WITH YOU!

HELP YOU BE MEAN TO BAD PEOPLE

I hope I find some nice clothes on the street today.

We're supposed to pretend that we are part of a system, paying in to it, working for it, that stopped paying the supposed benefits to necessitate the system Also culturally, spiritually, materially we get the punishment for this system's failure from the people who have reaped its final rewards

what I'm learning from the fact that every one of these decisions has a "huge merger waiting to be approved" factor is that we should no longer allow mergers sorry, you can't buy any other companies anymore, too dangerous to civil society only antitrust breakups allowed

For all you Daggerheart players and GMs there are some new adversaries and environments up on the void for playtesting. They look like lots of fun! www.daggerheart.com/thevoid/?utm...

This has REAL this moment from the Office energy.

Still say I’m partially responsible for writing the queerest episode of Star Trek. What other episode has a storyline where two gay men and their adopted trans kids get to be the heroes?

people who want other people to stay in sad little grey boxes forever and never be happy in their bodies or desires are villains and cowards and they may be winning right now but by god they will lose as water smooths stone and roots break it, because that fierce joy is roots and water and life

This is the weirdest timeline.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

You cannot understand politics in the United States in 2025 without understanding Gamergate. It is the Rosetta Stone for our current nightmare.

Imagine delaying your game to get away from Silksong just to land at the same time as Hades 2

What is SHIFT RPG, and what can you do in it? Where can you watch a live play of SHIFT? And what's the difference between SHIFT and D&D? All these questions are answered in our intro blog post about SHIFT! Check it out!

this is such an important secondary message 1. trans kids get to see their idol using her platform to celebrate and advocate for them 2. cis kids see their idol declaring that the presence of trans people makes your life better and cooler and more joyful and that that's a world worth fighting for

Nobody likes a Cassandra, unfortunately.

Breaking: In landmark agreement, AI firm Anthropic will pay $1.5 billion to settle a copyright lawsuit brought by book authors and publishers. Story to follow.

Trans people have been around your whole life. You’ve been sharing bathrooms with them your whole life. They’ve been in your communities your whole life. They’ve even been playing sport your whole life. And you didn’t care *at all* till a few years ago when every right wing org decided you should

Asylum, the pilot that got me staffed, and the most meetings in my career, that I wrote before Trump was elected, was about people living under an authoritarian regime dealing with this very thing.

Draw Steel Ability Cards has been updated and has a new url: cards.heroic.tools A lot of new features, but most importantly we now have every ability from the core rules!

hey world, @susanlbridges.bsky.social and @tillybridges.bsky.social have written spec scripts i’ve loved, short films i have found touching, and are also two of the nicest people i’ve met in my travels in the writing trade - go pre order, and then re order? or just plain order!

Happy (North American) Labor Day, Conrads! Here's some of my favorite pictures from last year's WGA / SAG-AFTRA strike:

Hey LA a great pup went missing on Friday. Keep an eye out for Puma please! Last seen near Beverly and Fairfax/The Grove ❤️❤️❤️

They’re gonna have to invent new flag poles.

kind of fun to imagine the rest of the world flying their flags at 1.5 mast in reverse mourning though

The scolding article about everyone feeling good, having fun, and wishing It Would Happen, is going to be very funny.

For those working at Disney, they call their lower wages the “Disney Discount” for working there

Never heard it put quite so succinctly, but the film industry runs almost entirely on the passion tax.

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

I put a BSG reference in Star Trek: Discovery 109, a Legend of Zelda in 212, and a deep cut Sailor Moon one in Kpop Demon Hunters (that made it in)! Secret references are fun and YOU CANT STOP US

Daggerheart truly sings played at a physical table. Passing around cards with your friends makes them just as excited about your abilities as you are. And to be able to collectively marvel at the art without having to pass around a hefty book is something I didn't know I needed. It's electric.

CAMPAIGN FRAMES UPDATE! 🖼️ Colossus of the Drylands & Five Banners Burning will now premiere August 29th & September 5th! ✨ We appreciate your support on the series so much. We are skipping this week to let our post production breathe a bit, catch up and wrap up the series with a big finale! ✌🏻

Sometimes I remember that I don't use ChatGPT to reply to emails, write marketing copy, or do basic tasks that require the lowest level of thinking, which makes me instantly feel better about myself and my work ethic

The pre-launch for THE HAUNTING OF THE WRETCHED has reached 50 followers, so as promised here's an art reveal! On the left, my original illustration. On the right, the final cover treatment. Follow the page here for more updates: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #ttrpg

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

The Wretched was the second TTRPG I ever adapted and still remains one of my very favorite feature films I’ve written. So pumped for a sequel.

I just love them so much I can’t stand it.

It does make me angry when terrible men who've ruined countless lives die peacefully at home at an advanced age, and so many, so *many* innocents never get that privilege. But they *do* die, so there is that.

Live your life in such a way that others won't dance on your grave. James Dobson was an evil man and nothing else needs to be said about him.

The story of our times. Venture capitalists and private equity will burn the world down and extract every once of joy, convenience, functionality of those things you love and rely on just to replace them with enshittified subscription tiers that charge you more for less.

Check it out, @mikerunderwood.bsky.social! We got some great folks playing around in our frames!
