how does anyone ever choose a title font. this is terrible

in the me vs Affinity fight I think I'm...winning?

here’s a list of great independent media outlets to support instead of fascists:

[muttering] it's good to learn new skills and throwing my computer out a window will NOT help

Hoping you all have a warm, light filled Longest Night from my little family to yours

affinity point blank refusing to let me change the width of a table column??? layout truly is a whole new layer of hell

so...is there no way to replace a font everywhere, in affinity? I really have to go through and manually change every one of my text styles? somebody tell me I've just missed something

not that there's any use in me getting mad at the same white people again, but...one thing about being Japanese (for me) is I think a lot of things (all?) are alive and deserve respect and care. not, like, just the human-shaped ones. "does it have a soul"—what Christian nonsense is this?

none of you told me In Dreaming Avalon is a kissing game? I had to find out via podcast? smh!

Our to-do list is a goddamn hydra.

another great Draw Steel tonight. have I mentioned this group has like three note-takers? what a blessing, especially since these people CANNOT stop picking up new quests

"Check on your trans frie-" No. Give them money. Hire them. Buy them a video game.

tonight's Draw Steel was a ton of fun as always. this time we had BEAR IN THE TAVERN and also someone faked their death!! god I love Draw Steel

if I wanted to "ask an NPC anything" I would simply play a TTRPG. where I can torment my beloved friends by doing exactly that. you just can't get the same kind of panicked improv creativity from a fraud machine

not too late to join tonight's one-shot—there's still an open seat!

I know it's the holidays and things are tight for many of us, but if you can spare a few $ to help my friend Haneen in Gaza make rent this month, it would mean a lot. She needs to raise $500 to be able to stay in her home, out of a tent and the rainy weather. Your support means the world to her!

stunning news: I'm playing a game today and I'm NOT the GM!

tomorrow!

so frightened by the prospect of Layout that I did a whole other terrifying chore

once someone told me they do all their layout in microsoft word. and I reacted with shock and horror at the time but I get it now

I've opened Affinity. I've fled screaming in confusion back to this thread. many thanks to everyone who linked helpful things last time. I am still looking for any TTRPG Layout 101 For Babies resources you have!!

today is the day, comrades. I'm gonna learn how to use affinity

the real trouble with homebrewing Draw Steel monsters is how am I supposed to come up with cool names for all these abilities

I would like a new Benoit Blanc movie every December please and thanks.

hey, module lovers. do you have a favorite published adventure? any system as long as it's designed for heroic PCs, but must be an adventure and not a "campaign frame". don't say Curse of Strahd lol

I got to play in a learn-to-play Draw Steel game that Emi ran a few weeks ago and they were an excellent GM. I had so much fun! Highly recommend!

[staring directly into the ~107 year old camera]

today is the day! I might have my first TPK! the players definitely put themselves here and are enthusiastically consenting, and have encouraged me to go all out, but boy am I worried. suppose it happens and they don't actually like it??

I'm trying (for the 3738th time) to watch lord of the rings, have made it more than half an hour in for the first time, and I have to say watching 18yo Elijah Wood feels very different now that I'm this age. that is a baby

Thanks for everyone's support, Mud Ghost Estate Redux have reached 100%! ✨ With under 24 hours left, can we push it a bit further? 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/wha...

I guess the good (?) thing about the graphic design mines is I've "gotten" "better" at it. over time. I'm faster now

seasonal affective disorder

(don't worry, I've got something for the more experienced Steel Drawers incoming too! just gotta go back to the graphic design mines real quick...)

Curious about DRAW STEEL? Great news! I'm running a learn-to-play one-shot next Wed night 12/17. Tactical! Cinematic! Heroic! Fantasy! Plus a friendly table and a killer action soundtrack. No rules knowledge necessary—just show up ready to kick ass and have fun! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

once again I confront the fell beast (layout)

anti ai, pro hag

I'm told not only do you go to real Earth Russia in 1918 to fight real(ish) Rasputin, but also, Nikola Tesla is involved somehow. I don't—what was happening in the Pathfinder world in 2013?

Hey, look, For the Queen is on sale right now! If you don't have a copy for some reason, at sixteen canadian dollars you can't afford *not* to canada.critrole.com/collections/...

how i feel selecting the perfect ttrpg for a very specific context

Hey all! I know from personal experience the holidays can suck. Until Jan 10th, if you sign up to the Quinns Quest Patreon with the code 239CE, you get 90% off, which is the most I can discount. I make $0, the final 10% is Patreon's cut 🎄🎁❄️ www.patreon.com/qquest

y'all ever try to read a TTRPG book on your phone? horrible, terrible, nightmare experience

there's nothing quite like the triumph I feel when a friend comes to me with a really specific TTRPG need and I pull out the perfect recommendation

I was gonna do that thing where I repost this and just say "Oh". As in here is some important info that is fucked up but ultimately unsurprising. Then I realized my neighborhood is actually featured in this piece. 😔

dismayed to announce that the bad take haver returned but delighted to announce that someone else threw a polite verbal tomato at them. vindication

dipping my toe into converting adventures between systems. how come nobody told me there's a circus adventure for pathfinder
