Excited to have sold 969 copies of The Ascellan Conspiracy, my first timeline for Fate of Cthulhu #ttrpg by @evilhat.bsky.social. Help me get to 1,000 copies sold on @drivethrurpg.com by the end of 2025! bit.ly/AscellanCons... (Don't have the core rules? They're ALSO on sale!) #ttrpgcommunity

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Spending time today working on my Discord Clone for D&D. I'm aiming for a mix of Discord, Fari, and MediaWiki. I'm hoping to alpha test it in December.

Not only are there a metric buttload of great games in here (Monster of the Week! Blades in the Dark! Thirsty Sword Lesbians!) but if you dig down into the Gate section, in the Worlds in Shadow book you’ll find Crimeworld, which is me puking out Heist and Con 101, for #ttrpg use or whatever you want

I'm making a Discord clone for Dungeons and Dragons. Well, every tabletop RPG, actually. This is the second update on that journey. This is all still super alpha, but I'm having fun! youtu.be/QPdfxbKxOvA

in Demolition Man, Sylvester Stallone plays a supercop from the violent 1990s frozen in time and sent to the future. He winds up fighting a group of terrorists until he realizes they're just trying to steal food, at which point he refuses to continue attacking them

True for so. many. books.

When will emojis be permitted on birth certificates? I bet it'll be 20ish years after the first pop star whose name has an emoji. (Prince doesn't count. As always, he was a genius before his time.)

Some great advice on running Fate here 👍💪👇

I'm glad a big meeting was called to fix the fat troops problem. 🙄 “Frankly, it’s tiring to look out at combat formations, or really any formation and see fat troops,” he said. “...unacceptable to see fat generals & admirals ... leading commands around the country and the world.”

Today we are proud to announce our next crowdfunding campaign. Award-winning historian @shannonappelcline.bsky.social examines the roots, artwork, and lore behind each and every product released by TSR for OD&D, AD&D 1e, and Basic D&D with his latest effort, Designers & Dragons: Origins. 1/3

In like twenty years there will be an entire genre of stories that are “immigrant takes revenge on the ICE agents who broke up their family”. They’re going to be the stock villains your protagonist can do anything to, much like Nazis. Because they are Nazis.

I'm mostly certain that my next long campaign is going to be Daggerheart. It seems like the right blend of storytelling and dynamic action. I'm also going to do something I've never done—run an adventure path! I'm going to convert Curse of the Crimson Throne from Pathfinder.

a discord is not a forum. I don't want to join your product's community; I want to read the solution to my technical problem from two posters who worked it out 4 years ago

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

I have a joke about all the layoffs in the tech industry but it doesn't work.

I love this thread about publishing RPGs to VTTs. A lot of good information. I have some thoughts to add from the perspective of someone who works on complex web apps. When you ask for VTT support, you are asking the publisher to make a video game.

The enemy is always the aristocracy, no matter how it changes forms or tactics over time. You must learn to hate it as much as it hates you.

It would be really cool to see all stock transactions for members of the Executive Branch, Congress, and whatever Musk is, for a 72-hour window around 9 April.

TONIGHT WE KILL HITLER. We've been enjoying killing Nazis so much that we've stretched our game from one session into three.

As a GM, I make my players contribute session recaps to our gaming wiki. When my campaigns wrap, I turn the notes into books!

Does anyone know a good JS dice rolling utility? I want something robust with lots of different kinds of rolling available. I'm tempted to write one, but I want to use something that exists or contribute to it.
