He fell out of the tree one too many times...that's when the killings began.

You never know who's going to pop up at our #TheExpanse meetups! Gratitude to @jacobmundell.bsky.social Mundell and #Ty&ThatGuy, aka Ty Frank and Wes Chatham for this fond memory of NYCC

There are a lot of men out there who do not see any of the logistics happening around them and they're like "wait, where the fuck did these hand warmers come from?" Look at every kid wearing mittens, and that's your answer. From the people who have been silently keeping hands warm for centuries.

So weird Canada and Greenland don't want in on this country.

jesus.

The regime and many of its supporters are surprised to see so many people in America define "Us" as "my neighbors, my city, my state, my country," rather than as "my race and gender." And they seem to have real trouble processing the idea of taking risks to help others and stand on principle.

If you're being at all honest, you know that, at this point, "abolish ICE" is the mainstream moderate position.

Opossums are so cool you should be nice to them

AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin (1983) | RPG | Intellivision | APh Technological Consulting This early console-based crawler boasted a relatively impressive set of features. Difficulty set the size of the dungeon, a "ring" inventory system managed your loot, and stats laid out your odds for survival!

@peginc.bsky.social 's DEADLANDS is releasing a 30th anniversary edition of the game in early February. This will feature an updated version of the game that integrates Savage Worlds' rules directly into the DEADLANDS setting. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Conference website is live, program coming soon.

No Acid King?

Hey, folks, can I both commit capitalism and get a bit personal for a moment? I wanna talk a bit about the upcoming Kickstarter for the fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds. (I'm probably gonna be doing a LOT of this for the next five weeks, so now's your time to mute or unfollow me.)

this is how it looks like when you post a twitter screenshot:

Right I was thinking about the clear path from California drug and music culture to libertarianism. Not exactly strange that it would react to itself this way.

Silent Hill is real & I teach at it

🎲First day of the Spring 2026 semester @ucmerced.bsky.social This will be my last time teaching Dungeons & Dragons: Skills IRL? for the foreseeable future. It has been a heck of a ride for the last 6 years, but going out strong. #DnD #TTRPG #RPG

BACK on my elric BULLSHIT.

Some days I really wish I could just suppress my scruples and be one of those, “AI is tremendously exciting for learning! We just have to show students how to use it PROPERLY!” people because then I would be every vice chancellor’s pet professor and I could apply for so many grants

The Pet Rock Zoo is underwhelming.

In the ‘70s, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs sold hardware. In the ‘80s, they sold programs. In the ‘90s, they sold dreams. In the ‘00s, they sold disruptions. In the ‘10s, they sold brands. In the ‘20s, they have nothing left to sell but raw ambition & the vapors of what is now an old, old thing.

And here was the peak geekdom: playing #TheExpanse Board Game with a cast member from The Expanse. Brought my copy & got in an epic game with Jacob (UN), Donna (OPA) & Brian (MCR). I managed to pull a late victory as Protogen as our efforts to place our people in key positions went unnoticed.

I did show off my mini painting skills at the paint & take. Gonna post the mini later. Was a good set up with high quality paints & solid selection of minis. #miniatures #OrcaCon

Got to introduce a game show host to a game show host. Hadn't seen @ruelgaviola.com in years probably because he has been super busy! Got to introduce him to @jacobmundell.bsky.social Was cool to just hang with folks & see all sorts of games being played.

Finally got a chance to play in one of @stefanpokornydf.bsky.social AD&D 1E games. Glad I did. Certainly a nostalgic romp. Also Sword shirt number 2 spotted at OrcaCon! #TTRPG #DnD #RPG #miniatures #dwarvenforge

Got to play in a round of #TheExpanse #RPG at @orcacon.bsky.social Good time. Thought the GM, Liz, did a great. She even recognized me from @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social One player even showed up in a Sword shirt! Excellent taste.

Some interesting insights from @carolinethegeek.bsky.social et al on the work of the Information School at University of Washington. My friend in IS was very intrigued by this one.

And my fourth @orcacon.bsky.social is in the books. Apprentice being invited to share games with others. Great folks & vibes. This year i focused on playing in others games instead of running. Glad I did.

Will probably include auto-tipping.

Painted up this guy at OrcaCon as part of their paint & take. Pretty happy with it for not having my normal tools/setup. Reminds me a lot of the herglic from Star Wars. #OrcaCon #miniatures

I am a special guest this weekend at the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo. I'll be running some games, doing some seminars, and playing a live D&D Eberron game alongside Keith Baker, Jenn Ellis, Andreas Lundström, and other guests. Come on down! tabletop.events/conventions/...

This ruling protects voters and local election officials from political overreach that would have made our elections less fair, not more secure. I will continue to ensure elections in our state are free, fair, and accessible to all voters. www.spokesman.com/stories/2026...

Visited my dad in Washington. Good time, chatting and eating some delicious food.

This, by the way, is one of the places the political push for "public syllabi" goes: Even more people who literally do not understand what they're trying to evaluate almost certainly using LLM's to ask "is this stuff transgender or DEI" & then making administrative decisions based on that output.

Elon Musk has not made the world a better place.

data seems to match this theory

We are an MLIS capstone team working with the GAMER Group at the University of Washington seeking input on how TTRPG players find games, or want to find games. If you are a TTRPG player, designer, or both, please consider taking our research survey: uwashington.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Love this 💚 I’m curious what they’ll come up with, in terms of how to catalogue TTRPGs. With how much we love to bicker about semantics, establishing any controlled vocabularies will be a FEAT (but possible!)
