You've got less than an hour before this goes back up to full price! This is the game that put us on the map, and it's still the best hard SF space combat game -- tabletop or computer -- on the market. It may ruin space combat for you, because once you see how it's supposed to work...

Be right back, buying popcorn futures "the Board and executives may have breached their fiduciary duties of loyalty, care and good faith by placing improper political or affiliate considerations above the best interests of the Company and its stockholders,” www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Me and @matthtaylor.com have a story in this about TRANS WITCHES dealing with a MONSTER. Don't you want in on that? You want in on that.

ICE in Rogers Park. If you see them elsewhere, ping us. Additionally, the campaign office (Clark + Lunt), as always, welcomes everybody except ICE.

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

JUST IN: The Trump administration's bid to coerce states to comply with immigration enforcement in order to receive disaster aid is illegal and unconstitutional, a federal judge ruled today. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The Trump administration announces a "review" of the safety of the abortion drug mifepristone—suggesting they may move to reverse Biden-era regulations that made the pill more available, including by mail.

If you're an SF writer who has spaceships launching shoals of missiles at one another, or firing beams at each other, and care about physics, this game is a college course on the topic. Even if you never play it, the sidebars and procedures will give you an idea of the things your characters know.

y'all playing?

Remember, today bisexual people are visible. So if you see more people in the crosswalks than usual, that's why.

Nothing quite like having _FANS_ who make things like this: Apparently, I should be AydeeAstraGames. :)

SB's intro to Caves of Qud for the official have channel brought me into both the game and her world. I really love how she interacts with them as both art *and* mechanics, and her narration is so incredibly soothing to listen along with.

This platforms moderation is currently unable to tell the difference between artistic/non-sexual nudity and explicit pornography How do you expect them to be able to differentiate between consensual and non-consensual?

The thing they don’t understand about drawing NSFW is that it’s a roleplay with yourself. It’s an expression of your ideas and fantasies, made entirely by you, in a way that can’t hurt anybody. Needing the characters to consent is ludicrous: I’m the artist and *I* consent. I’m the only participant.

One of the many things that this era’s postmortem will have to account for is that this kind of criticism is coming from sports websites (the Ringer, Defector, etc) and fashion magazines (Teen Vogue) than from the mainstream media outlets of record.

Due in part to "brain no want to do workies" on things I should actually work on, I've been building out the Starmada Conversion's XML files. Defenses are now working, as are Traits, Munitions and Equipment. Only thing left is getting the data for weapon tables done, which might happen tonight.

As a reminder,we maintain this Starter Pack of Space Opera writers, artists and game designers: go.bsky.app/9cgiqKv If you know people who should be in the pack, or think you should be, let us know and we'll add them. And give the pack a follow. Lots of interesting folks here.

Why is Sinestro wearing the Punisher costume?

Oh so fun fact, today we found out the details about Ken Paxton’s affair he’s been having. Not the first affair. The one where he tried to hire his mistress and then got impeached for it, but a different affair with a Christian influencer. His wife is divorcing him now So like, fuck this guy

This is the podcast episode that got Dan Thurot nominated for a games coverage award. Definitely worth a listen www.buzzsprout.com/265407/episo...

Trans rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Women's rights are human rights. Human rights are non-negotiable. Charlie Kirk was a bigot. If your concept of a nation is so fragile that you can't welcome people who've given up everything to be there and make a life, you're a coward.

Help Laurie get a few beers. Back this.

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

The Onion continues to throw the heat.

looking for something to do on this fine sunday afternoon? watch my sister as the Banker in this monopoly episode of the Kevin Langue Show youtu.be/9hKXPC4Zlx4?...

If anyone follows the company who is fluent in Korean, and interested in writing some Space Opera from a Korean navalist POV for game industry pay, please DM. Editorial support is great; this is writing scenario vignettes of ~550 words, and interstitial pieces of ~1150 words.

Many of you will have known Bud Baird from @budsrpgreview.bsky.social and will have heard the very sad news of his death aged 52. His daughters would love it if you could subscribe to his channel and get it to 10,000 subscribers ❤️

And their forums (and World of Tanks forums) celebrate their fourth longest streak of **not** being a source for the exposure of classified military information, as the streak is at 22 days and running! </sarc>

No player eliminaton, is all about hand management. Add bidding for fuel cards, and this could've kickstarted the Eurogame boom 25 years before Catan. :) (No, no, it wouldn't've; this is a "move your pawn by random elements" game. There is no way to blow up spaceships; the cover lies.)

I am looking to chat with people who have been disparagingly featured in Zack “Asmongold” Hoyt’s content. I would like to see how this affected you, especially if you can provide ample receipts and clear timelines. Please signal boost this anywhere you’d like, as I’m not on Twitter anymore.

This is not the AI boom creating a new type of work, this is a classic example of managers using automation to deskill old ones. Creative workers who once made a higher wage creating original art and writing are now paid in piecework to edit automated output. Bosses are using AI to cut labor costs.

This is an experiment -- making a screen cap "gif" of the movement from Monday's teaching game. I didn't finalize the camera position until the end of turn 1, and I probably need to overlay text labels on the ships on the next one I do. As well as turn number and step labels. But hey, shiny!

It’s my birthday today! 🎈 I’d be delighted if people shared this around to help me celebrate turning 29 🎂 Also, hello to any art directors, my folio and contact info is in the replies 😉

Do you have 2-3 hours a week to play with spaceships? Mike Zebrowski is looking to recruit 2-3 players for weekly Squadron Strike games on either Fridays or Sundays. Details in the Discord post below! (If you're new to our server, click the correct monkey to see all channels.)

If I can sell one more print copy of Architect of Worlds, or three PDF copies through the Ad Astra website, I'll be able to pay @jfzeigler.bsky.social his highest monthly royalty payment. (Four PDFs off of DriveThruRPG would also do it.) www.adastragames.com/products/arc...

Must be Gruden’s favorite golf outfit since he wore it last week at Trump’s club in Virginia.
