I understand that lots of youtubers/podcasters need to take sponsorships to make a living, but I do think they should deliberately make the ad reads boring, on principle.

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

Me reading the rpg book from a crowdfunder I contributed to a year ago.

Okay but what if downtime in my game played like Citizen Sleeper?

Widow's Bay rules, and I would pay real money for a copy of the card game RUN from episode two.

Yeeee, the process of drawing these illustrations was thematically appropriate looking, my room was a tumult of papers and madness

A young teen organized a march yesterday against two proposed AI data centers in Vancouver, which is facing water restrictions & housing crisis. The first project will be at former Hootsuite headquarters. Hootsuite is also facing opposition for a pilot ICE contract. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Gundam is a series about children committing war crimes and having war crimes committed against them, and also there are giant robots there.

Has anyone made a FitD souls-like? Surely the working title Forged in the Dark Souls has been taken?

ME ON NEXTDOOR: Has anyone seen my Arkenstone? EMELORN THE DUNEDAIN: Loud was the clamor that marred this golden noon! The sons of the twenty-sixth house have been dirt-biking again. It is a matter I once thought resolved. BIRCHBENT: say w. Entwife. By traansfer Station.? If you yes

Current downtime activity clocks in my Blades in the Dark game: - I Can Fix Him - God Forbid Women Have Hobbies

Last night in Blades in the Dark: the crew sees sunlight for the first time in their lives through a vision created by the ghost of a poet. They bottle the ghost for later use.

I cannot stress enough how good a rule "don't post stuff just to dunk on it" is. whether it's a big community or a friend discord. it is a declaration of "this isn't how I want to engage with people or with the world." things are bad enough out there.

Hell yeah dude, no one* does it** like I do!*** *in my building **laundry ***on the morning of Easter Sunday

this is what liberals literally believe

I was excited for Realis, I eas excited for the cool art, but I was not ready for the sheer volume of kick ass holy shit fuck yeah art. I cannot wait to have this book in my hands.

AI is bad and I do not want it.

I love how the narrator in "Whiskey in the Jar" admits he robs a dude he recognizes by sight, rolls up to his girlfriend's house armed and carrying a bag of cash, makes her promise she'll never lie to him, immediately passes out, and she's the asshole for unloading his guns and calling the cops.

*Pallisade intro Austin* "On *Realis intro Austin* Realis." This bit might only work in audio, huh.

Robert Pattinson as Paul Bettany as Rutger Hauer.

i have explained subcreation. i will explain it one more time, if you do good. i will explain it... two more times, if you do bad.

Also for any medievalists out there, especially if you're currently teaching medieval history, I've got a question* for you. Every medievalist who I've listened to lecture or in an interview has enthusiastically recommended A Knight's Tale whenever people bring up the Middle Ages in pop culture/art

I really am always doing this huh

My Gormenghastsona is a radical professor who wants to foment rebellion among the servants but is too nervous to say anything outright so just wanders around the kitchens quoting nonsensical theory and getting in everyone's way. #Gormenghast

Deeply evil, genocidal policy. Here are some orgs that may be able to help: Across Bsky, many people have shared Trans Continental Pipeline. This is a grassroots mutual aid network turned based in Denver that helps LGBTQ+ individuals relocate from unsafe situations to Colorado. tcpipeline.org

If you think about it, the 1970s are like the middle ages of the 20th century.

Rpg where each class has unique death mechanics.

A big part of what makes a trad RPG good is giving the players fun toys to play with, and understanding that the GM is also a player who needs fun toys. Also, if you want the game to be fun for non-combat things, you need non-combat toys.

Tired: "It's dangerous to go alone, take this!" Wired:

Does anyone go to a 3D movie on purpose these days, or do they solely exist to make you pay extra if they're the only time slot that works for you?

Adding this to the list of touchstones for the game I'm working on.

If I was cast as the Riddler in anything I would thereafter respond to all interview question with a dogshit impression of the Riddler. Grinch fingers, spinning chair, "wwWOULDn't YOU like to know?"

Why would you use AI art in your RPG when you can simply take images from an illuminated manuscript?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.
