Damn, there goes Scott Adams. What a cautionary tale. An internationally famous syndicated comic demoted to Sinfest For Normies

“Why one small American town won’t stop stoning its residents to death,” an AO3 fic in which Isaac Chotiner interviews the guy who runs the lottery in Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery”, is astounding. archiveofourown.org/works/73396436

I can finally post some of the extremely funny incidental text from Pathologic 3

Of all platforms I shared my Art vs Artist video, Twitter been the only place where some people were actually disappointed I was black! I screenshoted that one because it's so hilarious to me! If you are a popular animator and make cute things, you can't be black? So Twitter 😂😭

The blog says "4-minute read." That's a lie. Here's every finalist from the past three years of The Bloggies. www.explorersdesign.com/the-bloggies...

I'm not saying Sam's aiming for the Bloggies, I'm just saying he's like that guy from the olympics who competed without any gear because he didn't need it.

And finally, I don't think I'll be alone in submitting The Expressionist Games Manifesto by @jdragsky.bsky.social for this year's bloggies. It was certainly one of the most influential and inspiring. I'm still chewing on it.

Well the Bloggies are here, and I'm told I'm supposed to promote myself at least a little. I just hope you liked what I wrote last year, and I'm excited to write a lot more this year! Anyhow, this is probably my favorite post, from a chat with my friend Jo: kattkirsch.bearblog.dev/leonard-cohe...

I've already submitted my favorite posts. And I'd love if you submitted one of my posts. For both, see the 🧵👇 Also, if you have a favorite *series* or wrote one yourself, please submit it! I would love to see more series, not just in the bloggies but more generally. One post is rarely enough!

Submit your best rpg blog posts to the bloggies! Especially if they weren't dungeon-game related, I'd love to see more cross-pollination between scenes this round.

Start the new year by nominating your favorite Skeleton Code Machine article for a Bloggie. Link below. ⬇️ I might recommend Everything is Pointcrawl: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/everything... #ttrpg #bloggies #hexcrawl #pointcrawl

Listen, I get it. You're about to see "The Bloggies" all over your feed and it's going to get real old real quick. That's why you can mute it on BlueSky and bookmark the official page. I made it so you can still participate without losing your mind. Submissions are officially open til Jan 31st.

The way some people treat any attempt at game design like it's an attempt to foist an abusive relationship onto your friend group is easily more dysfunctional than any game's incentive structures have ever been

Just discovered that someone on reddit has been putting together a manga version of DBZ abridged and its beautiful lmao

sorry I liked this tumblr post enough to drag it over here

"There’s really nothing quite so counter-productive to the goal of having useful conversations about role-playing technique and theory as One True Way zealotry. Sadly, there does seem to be an awful lot of it still floating around." --Sarah Kahn (2006) web.archive.org/web/20060629...

I'm glad to see such an influx of artists here^^ Mutuals from X, feel free to DM me, I'll be happy to follow you here and support!

The bloody ghost of my ancestor Lt. John Bacon, shot dead by a redcoat musket during the Battles of Lexington and Concord on April 19th, 1775, appeared at the side of my bed last night and said anyone can be American as long as they aren’t English

just today the thought of "is anybody even going to care" was ruining my joy while working on a project, and i can't tell you how many times someone showing they did care turned my day around for the better -- it might not seem like much but it means a lot to receive encouraging comments

If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career

fun Weird West dev anecdote: there was a decal on a gun shop that said "riffles" instead of "rifles", i pointed it out in the slack and this was the fix that came through and shipped

In a writer networking workshop I run, I ask attendees to think about the coolest person they want to meet. Then I ask what they’d offer them as a peer (this could be anything!). If there’s no answer, it isn’t time to network in that room. …a specific type of attendee rarely has an answer.

A warning from the lawyer representing the unjustly fired Oklahoma TA! Beware of GFM scams: her client is NOT crowdfunding at this time.

(one of my fav parts of the original post is “do we really need another grimy detective story” because as a fan of grimy detective stories I feel like I’m constantly struggling to find good ones while I can’t open up the steam store without seeing a million games called Witchfarm: A Cozy Sim)

Finally trying out this game since it’s free today What I love so far: 💬 Vast possibility space due to genius feat of design. ✒️ Writing is incredible! What I don't like: 🙄 Do we really need another grimy detective story? 👨 I'm playing as a generic middle aged white man again, urgh.

Merry Christmas!

The first draft of Field Guide to Ir'Sath, a #LancerRPG supplement, is out now. zemyla.itch.io/field-guide-...

I will just comment briefly to say I’m aware of the republished book. I’d reiterate that Vaults of Vaarn is published under Creative Commons and the book text encourages you to remix, edit, reuse the content.

Yup, signed. I haven't written it out but this is very close to my own views and the way I run (and play) games as well.

A 50 year old disabled Black Woman who’s been struggling in the economy needs a Battery for her scooter, help with a few overdue bills, supplements, and a few household things to help. Let’s each give $1 to reach her goal. We’ve helped 208 people so far let’s keep going.

Honestly this video is horrifying *before* you think about how these creators have the gall to spout this nonsense and then claim to have a Ghibli aesthetic. But after you realize that, it’s downright repulsive.

As a Mexican creator, I write monsters that reflect the horrors of dehumanization It's telling when others, claiming to be inspired by Ghibli, choose to parade their aesthetics while stripping its empathy and complex morality away So easy to do when you've never been the monster needing humanizing

Mega Man told people to pick up a pen that’s my fucking GOAT
