Telling my boss I need to go home right now to wait for this to drop and not letting me lying on the couch uselessly would be mighty biphobic

It's that month.

Liking how the new Warhammer Trailer points out the Godemperor of Mankind is NOT the golden guy from the memes but actually this stinking corpse.

Repurposing old art to bug fascists. Also, I saw of lot of wonderful bits of antifa art like this supporting bookstores and libraries and schools (which, heck to the yes!), so I wanted to do one for museums.

You can listen to a genuine concept album about being an Elf by a prog rock band of Elvish magicians from 1978.

Listen up. This is your Captain, and this is your Pride Month Discourse. This is your moment. You might think that you're scared, but you're not. That isn't fear. That's your sharpness. That's your power. We are queers. Nothing in the socials is foreign to us.

So, I KNEW the words 'otherkin' was introduced by 1990 Usenet groups of ELVES. BUT I found this fascinating timeline of documented Otherkin history telling us these groups were culturally based on the work of 'The Elf Queen’s Daughters', a group of Elvish magical practitioners formed in 1972.

I love how many cultures all over the world at different times came to the point where they smelted copper or bronze and when deciding what shape to cast the ingots in thought "Well, you can never have enough axes, right?" and invented more or less standardised axe ingots that often become money.

so, this is deeply, deeply horrifying thedreydossier.substack.com/p/i-found-a-...

Come find me at Comic-Salon! Have a chat, get a treat, read comics. I'll have prints, stickers and my new comic NOWHERELAND! My booth is in Halle D, 132, kubic! #comics #comicsalon

An unusual request in the name of archaeological science: Would anyone happen to have a Shetland or Exmoor pony that wouldn’t mind sending some fur samples to me? We’re trying to compare a potentially preserved fur specimen but there’s (perhaps unsurprisingly) few sources on fur fibre diameters!

Vague TTRPG system idea Single dice roll system. At the start of the session roll like 30 dice at once and leave them on the table, picking a result whenever a roll is needed. When you run out of dice something bad happens. Or good. Or the game just ends? Has anybody done something like that?

TBT: Representing supernatural worlds requires representing the unrepresentable. Mike Mignola’s “Hellboy” comics tackle this problem through the use of aspect-to-aspect & non-sequitur panel transitions, as well as inset panels that prompt imaginative, subjective closure. 1/10 #Hellboy

The audiobooks for the rest of the Danielle Cain books are finally ready! We now have audiobooks of @margaret.bsky.social's The Immortal Choir Holds Every Voice & The Barrow Will Send What It May on our website, as well as The Lamb Will Slaughter the Lion. www.tangledwilderness.org/shop/audiobo...

Ooooh yessssss! Very excited for this! Not excited for friends asking me to explain what the fuck is happening and who all those weirdos are 😬

The 'MAGA politics is just like wrestling so wrestling must be inherently fascist!' folks have decided Trump is building a wrestling ring on the White House lawn because they don't know what MMA is 🫠

Regular reminder that every fictional character needs to be assumed as being bisexual if no other orientation is explicitly stated in the text. Because in fiction every future event, like a love interest, needs to be considered possible if not eliminated by contrary information previously given.

I wonder if some 1600s witch hunters ever went "So, if this really works and we get all of them then future generations will never understand how serious this threat was and maybe think we were bloodthirsty maniacs for no reason. Makes you think, right?"

Ich bin nicht der Graveur sondern der montierende Schmied, aber meine Wortwahl wäre halt auch ohne klassistische Kackscheiße ausgekommen.

Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

An enemy of my enemy, hurting my friends, just is a second enemy. Sorry this isn't over until we ransacked Rome.

I don’t care if the pope said a thing you like when his church wants us dead

I so hate D&D culture humour that always is a variant of "and then we befriended the dragon and totally derailed the story, lol!", completely ignorant and disrespecting how 'The Gang Befriends A Dragon' IS THE STORY you as a group of cooperating creative minds made up you witless buffoon!

Slavic women: *vocalise* Western score composers: Ah yes, native American spirit sounds and extraterrestrials!

Am I doing this right?

Ultraviolents is sooooooo friggin' good, I've been following this webcomic and it's such a blast, the perfect combination of sex and violence and sloppy messy men and fighting and just such fun character designs, definitely worth checking out as it's also part of the @ddmarket.online bundle!!

Oh my fucking GOD Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

For no particular reason, thinking about this classic by @winstonrowntree.bsky.social again

Wake me up if they got him.

Am I doing this right?

Alright y'all seem to dig it. Want it on a shirt? ko-fi.com/s/0e9a1e4d17

Me: I hate everything in Star Wars needs to be connected to something else Me as GM: So, the thing you did six months ago in a different campaign blocked the trade in this region, making the merchants really nervous

Excited to watch this tomorrow after playing

Thinking about the Kurgan as one does I looked up: in the 1986 movie the actors of Connor and the Kurgan were 28 and 27. In the upcoming remake they will be 43 and 57. That's the thing about remakes of cult classics, casting established (and beloved!) actors instead of young, hungry maniacs.

Perhaps stop sharing that X screenshot with the atrocious AI nonsense some ignorant wazzock did. We get you hate that shit. I do, too. That's why we are here where this shit isn't supposed to show up all the time. Sigh.

Since it's 'too much world-building'-discourse time again: Just write a fictional travelouge, a fake encyclopedia, a TTRPG setting or some other non-fiction-but-fictional genre that is not reliant on good narrative flow.

Thinking about him

I've been reading through a near-complete version our next #TTRPG book, GOLD TEETH, and while I am not exactly a neutral commentator I can say that @marshdavies.bsky.social is now operating on another level. Do not miss. You can still secure a late pledge copy: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

Warhammer stuff from people I like? Now that's... really nice.

Yeah this is going to be something.

I was looking forward to loving Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core as much as it's predecessor but the game is just too stressful for me. A timer that punishes you for taking your time exploring the game is the opposite of fun. I am an old man who just wants to look at cool things while doing jobs. Sad.

"I repeatedly insist you can NOT call the characters in books I did not read NOT queerphobic!" is something I had expected from @horsedisc.bsky.social but not a real internet rando. Thank you, Warhammer bluesky 🙃

Read thread for some excellent DIEposting

Last year's very first Queer Wrestling Circus show in Lübeck KILLED - now they have announced their first show for this year in BERLIN and you want to be there, seriously! www.instagram.com/reel/DYPZBEi...

I don't really care who won, I'm just glad the trophy I restored and modified stayed in one piece 😅

There’s a lot of reasons people don’t like PBTA that I find very silly, but one that does make sense to me is the lack of a unified resolution mechanic. At the time it was written, AW was rejecting the idea that a game was just a single dice resolution mechanic and some other stuff. (1/19)
