Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Costco announced they will not stock mifepristone in their pharmacies. Contrary to viral social media posts, this IS a big deal and it DOES mean that they caved to pressure from far-right MAGA anti-woman conservatives. Here I go over the evidence and what you can do skepchick.org/2025/08/cost...

Omg, just seen that French artist Jean Jullien has a big show on at Nanzuka in Shanghai, JUJU’s Castle, that looks INCREDIBLE. basically you get to wander around a fantasy world built from his “memories & experiences”. Someone please send us out there to cover it! More info & link in the replies

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."

The Department of Energy said it will close FOIA requests from last year unless the requester emails the agency to say they are still interested. Experts say it's an "attempt to close out as many FOIA requests as possible." 🔗 www.404media.co/trump-admini...

"Trans people existing does literally nothing negative to your lives you crybaby wimps. Your life is getting harder and costlier because of the oligarchs, not trans people" Sticker spotted in Koreatown, Los Angeles, CA

So you’re a game designer who wants people to write adventures for your system. Here’s how you facilitate that:

Holy crap #YoungFathers did the entire soundtrack for #28YearsLater!? What a weird and awesome but really weird gig.

In honor of Free RPG Day, we've added a 1312 community copies of going rogue 2e 🎲 on the itch page! If you can't afford to buy the game, you can claim one free! If you're questioning whether that includes you, you should absolutely feel encouraged to claim one. 🔗: jumpgategames.itch.io/going-rogue

Whenever folks bring up the history of cops and government officials undercutting protest movements and escalating police response via duplicitous action, there is inevitably a chorus of disbelievers. Well, this is as as clear and current as it gets.

i so appreciate @rowanzeoli.bsky.social giving me the chance to speak about my thoughts on Going Rogue as political project it's been interesting & challenging trying to be thoughtful about how i approach (& market) this game in that respect, & getting to talk its *limitations* was actually v nice

Just listened to the April 20 @aznsrepresent.bsky.social podcast. In responding to a listener question, @drewquon.bsky.social gives a totally unexpected and amazing summary of post-Civil War racism in the US. So good!

Played the first half of a #MothershipRPG two-shot last week, from A Pound of Flesh. It was ... not the type of horror I was hoping for. A little too real. It's had me introspecting on how to enjoy part-two, how to spell out what I am and am not up for, why I'm into this hobby, safety tools.

We're past $75k! That $100,000 goal is within sight - we've got just over 6 days to hit it!

Tabletop publishers believe RPG books are exempt from Trump tariffs, for now

Should this be the #dungeoncrawler oath? Great quote from #TheDyingEarth by #JackVance. #TTRPG #OSR

What can I say? I'm obsessed with every moment of Frog and Toad by India Rose Crawford. The dancing in the kitchen and the contemplation at the easel really got me in my feels. Love this so much! #beautifulbizarre #contemporaryart #knitart #stopmotion #frogandtoad #art

People speak of a god in the woods. A green thing, a holy thing. They leave bread in tree hollows. Whisper thanks when the harvest is kind. Bury the dead with petals in their mouths. But he is not the green prince they think he is. A prince does not crawl. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tan...

I coded a map editor that uses existing map images as a base. It auto-syncs the map key to a markdown document in real-time, meaning you can write the content in external editors easily, while still seeing the spatial relations of the rooms!

I’m a non-binary Autistic classically trained chef and author! I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE! It’s all about learning how to make food work to your needs, for all ages and all levels of cooking ability (even those who’ve never cooked before).

Fie on goodness, fie! I read The Once and Future King last year, and amidst the melodrama of Arthur and Guinevere and Lancelot was a despairing political tract from WWII's wake on people who grow tired of doing good.

It's time to start sharing art from the upcoming Wandering Blades core rulebook! This is the illustration of the youxia, one of the core classes in the game, by the extremely talented Lim Li Wei! Support the development of Wandering Blades at patreon.com/danielhkwan!

While waiting for new #TheTraitorsUS episodes we went back and watched UK season 1, cast with regular interesting people instead of reality TV stars, and it's so much better. This US season 3 cast is especially embarrassing.

Right, not much to celebrate today but solely because of this site we had our best ever DriveThruRPG sales this weekend, which was v. unexpected So to say thanks, we'll send 1 person who reposts this every copy of the mag in stock (issues 3-4) & 1 of each of our Johan Nohr & Łukasz Kowalczuk tees

What document file type works best for the accessible version of a game? The Magus is beautiful, but hell on people with visual disabilities. I am working on making an accessible version. Should it still be PDF, or is an editable Word file better so the font size, spacing etc can be edited?

I posted about my nightmares (in Forbidden Lands): www.duelinmarkers.com/2024/12/15/s...

One thing I'd love bsky to bring from mastodon is the ability to put little private notes on people's profiles so I can remember so and so is the one who made such and such game and so on

After all this we just got the call that we were denied financial aid for northwestern / @artbrister.bsky.social’s cancer treatment so guess who is extremely open to work and has a webstore. soengery.com/collections/...

New spot art, underwater creatures, posting soon on my comradery page for subscribers: comradery.co/amandalee if you need some fish or mermaids for your #ttrpg or zine or just to look at. Black & white & full color!

Shadowboard, my free GM tool for #Shadowdark, now allows reordering players and exporting/importing game state. (Still not usable on phone-size screens.) www.duelinmarkers.com/shadowboard/

Love to ban trans women from capitol restrooms in order to “protect women and girls” while suppressing a report about the incoming attorney general paying for the statutory rape of a minor while in congress and showing women’s nudes on the House floor

Shadowboard is a free web tool I built for #Shadowdark RPG GMs to use at the table, automating and assisting with a handful of things: light timers, round-timers, turn-tracking. It's meant for a laptop or iPad and does not play nicely with a phone-sized display. www.duelinmarkers.com/shadowboard/

Changed my bsky handle to my domain and now feel obligated to do something less crappy with my domain. I started a TTRPG blog on bearblog a couple months ago just to dodge this work!
