So . . . a certain Cimmerian barbarian showed up in Darfur in my Hyborian War PBM game. I'm sending him off to rescue one of my Agents that has been captive in Stygia for many many turns, who I can't afford to ransom and haven't been able to rescue. I hope the barbarian will get it done! #playbymail

Today we’re talking with Paul Czega again about his zine The Ink That Bleeds. We talk about how exactly you “write to find out” in order to play solo journaling games more immersively. #ttrpg #indiegames #journalinggames #journaling

Sweet God, help me. I'm crying! Can't stop laughing. Holy mother of Mary, it hurts! Chewie . . . oh, Chewie . . . www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tj-G...

This was the sound of my childhood.

Well, I'm way less inclined to watch my Wisconsin Badgers after their horrific loss to Maryland today. Whelp, more time for writing, I guess.

the complete embrace of nihilism and the rejection of being genuine is the greatest danger to humanity right now

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

Write more letters. By hand. And send them to people you like. That is all.

I knew it reminded me of something…

This dog led an officer to his leash while being rescued from his burning home. 14/10 for all (IG: aurorapoliceil)

Thumbing through old notebooks and discovered a fully-fledged story, beginning to end, that I never typed up (I write by hand first) and never submitted anywhere. And, you know, it's a decent story. Needs some polishing, but glad I found it. Now, to the editorial salt-mines with me!

I HATE when people compare AI to the printing press, it's so disingenuous. The printing press was opposed by the elites because it put power in the hands of everyday people, and popularized a vernacular. AI does the opposite, by allowing elites to bypass artists and laborers.

Today we have visited Duckomenta 2.0 in Bremen's Focke Museum, a dream come true for #Runequest, #Dragonbane or #DuckBorg

BREAKING: ICE is sending Russian dissidents back to Russia. When the dissidents arrived in Russia, the Russian authorities were given documents relating to their asylum applications in the US which under US law are confidential. This seems to be part of a secret agreement between Trump and Putin.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

If you see this, repost with a vampire that is not Dracula.

This asshole is also laying off my son. Screw this guy.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Finally, my Badgers look like they know how to play the game of football again.

I'm looking for gigs as I fulfill my backlog! Due to some timing issues, the coffers are LIGHT, and ya Boi needs to get out of the red on a few things going into Autumn. Looking for Fantasy, Sci-Fi l, Superhero and Horror projects! 500usd gets a full book illustration package!

If only anyone could have seen this coming...in 2016.

First complete assembly! Everything looks good to me. So very satisfying—that’s fifteen pieces of cast metal, plus fasteners, in a very tiny space! Now more polishing on the wings, then patination and final polish 😅🛠️ but look: here’s our proud planthopper gent!

@dflewis.bsky.social amazing engines and his keen mind have cooked up an examination of my work that really touched me and caused this little bit of reflection. Thanks, Des! This means the world to me. forrestaguirre.blogspot.com

I think Des and his deep-observation engines know more about my writing than I do! I absolutely love this.

Wow. The only difference between me and this man is that both my parents were born US citizens I have a piece of paper affirming my citizenship. That feels like thin ice.

All glory to blogspot!

Might take me a bit to get back with answers, since I'm trying not to be online as much, but let's give it a shot, what the heck?

The true countdown begins... Happy Sept 1st!

Okay, why has no one done any Brothers Quay merch? What is the issue here, society?

"Bluesky is dying" Oh yeah? Then explain why this GIF always does numbers.

And for the record, the handle is @withinthings.bsky.social

After the visit, I can honestly say that "Within Things" is the best book store since . . . I honestly don't know. Nothing quite compares with how awesome that little place is. So glad I made the pilgrimage (and will definitely make it again).

Oh, by the way, I got almost everything on my Gameholecon wishlist this time around. I paid for it, dearly, by getting the gold ticket, but: worth it! For the record: Trail of Cthulhu X2, Vaesen, Call of Cthulhu X2, Colonial Gothic, Traveller, Legions of the Petal Throne, and Star Wars (FF).

Apparently, the south will rise . . . again.
