The Project Ghostlight Candela Obscura oneshot was great. Spooky, funny, and an action packed final act. youtu.be/dWnmi-2Pv4Y?...

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

My 19 month old's letter to Santy: Dear Daidí na Nollag, Please cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, also ginger to [name]. Please more paprika. Please more TRUCKS. Also broken shoes, just like La Befana. Please bring nóiníní. Thank you Santy. Love [name]

Popped into the Cló Iar-Chonnacht shop yesterday and the 19 month old exclaimed at the top of his voice "SIOPA LEABHAR!!!" I hope it gave the staff a smile.

#Homelessness quick fixes -enforce law on rental properties operating as holiday lets without planning permission -prioritise bringing vacant property back to use, address barriers to scaling up this sector -fix the regulatory burden for ‘over the shop’, Minister can do this at stroke of a pen

Am I disappointed that The Wildsea and CBR+PNK are out of stock? Yes. Am I intrigued that Slugblaster is in stock? Also yes.

If you like dungeon synth* (human made, not AI), Witch Bolt is creating some great work. *dark and atmospheric ambient music youtu.be/_WT8N5aJYto?...

If writing is so easy why do people argue that they can’t do it without the pablumatic verbiage extruder And if it’s so difficult then why do people think it’s not labour and writers are not workers

If conservative politicians want Ireland to be a crueler, meaner, and more unwelcoming country, they should say it with their full chest. www.thejournal.ie/immigration-...

The Candela Obscura core rulebook is currently only $8 on DriveThruRPG. I know it's just Call of Cthulhu with Forged in the Dark rules but I really like this game. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Yn a free society, universitye-level studye of the artes and humanityes sholde not be avaylable onlye to the wealthye and privileged.

Cursed Scroll 6 just arrived and Shadowdark still has some of the best random tables. Any game that has multiple tables of "carousing mishaps" gets my support.

Feeling a bit down? I recommend playing hide and seek with an 18 month old. What they lack in skill they make up for in enthusiasm.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

You love to see it.

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve. I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.

On Simon Harris and the immigration debate.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

The Dungeon Dudes have 3 separate million dollar Kickstarters under their belt. I don't see this one reaching that but its success will still be a major vote of confidence for Daggerheart. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dun...

may he spend eternity getting his ass beat by the souls of iraqis

Every minute without a strong statement from the Irish government about the arson and attempted murder in Drogheda is another minute of silent acquiescence to the far right - by remaining silent, the govt is making it very clear which side they are on. Everyone who is here, belongs here. #SpeirGorm

Wow the IT actually printed my letter #speirghorm

Centrism is the belief that society achieved perfection around the same time as you became a homeowner

Even if the cause was not arson - the unchecked hatred that is being allowed to boil is going to cause something catastrophic. I remember the lead up to marching season in 1998 and how it culminated in the 3 poor Quinn boys being killed for being ‘other’. We have been here before, not long ago

Wed: “Our migration numbers are too high”-Simon Harris Thurs: “Taoiseach and Donohoe back Tánaiste’s remarks that numbers migrating to Ireland are ‘too high’” Fri: ”migration numbers too high outside of international protection…as well”-Simon Harris *Arson attack on infants in IPAS centre.*

Right wing dickheads want you afraid of foreign criminals coming in, putting "our women and children" at risk, meanwhile this is what they're doing to women and children

It's wild to me that Critical Role published their own horror ttrpg and yet don't run a Candela Obscura oneshot every Halloween.

Since the far right race riot where immigrant families were threatened, Garda were attacked, and a Garda van was set on fire, have you heard our senior politicians talk more about the rioters, or immigration?

900,000 votes to be had but all of these parties are more interested in courting a handful of bigots with crayons

Catherine Connolly's first act as president needs to be to bring Babóg Bears back into production.

Landslide for Catherine Connolly 914,143 first preferences, 63% of the vote Breaking two records: More first preferences that De Valera in 1959 (56.3%) and more total votes than Michael D in 2018 (822,566). A massive achievement for Connolly and a great day for the Irish Left.

There was no conceivable world in which the British justice system would find one of their own guilty of war crimes when they're enthusiastically supporting a genocide. But even still, the Bloody Sunday verdict is a slap in the face for all Irish people.

NEW: Cardinal Blase Cupich, the Archbishop of Chicago, has issued a new statement declaring that Chicago "communities are shaken by immigration raids and detentions. These actions wound the soul of our city. Let me be clear. The Church stands with migrants."

there is no moral difference between fox "hunting" and dog fighting a canine trained to kill another canine, for nothing more than the amusement of braying idiots dog fighting is rightly outlawed, and those supporting it would be social pariahs. fox hunters get dressed up for a nice day out

“Rural pursuits” consist of the following: being cold indoors, having a preference about how turf is stacked, being nosey and having no public transport. Rural pursuits do not include galloping a pony across a farmer’s land in the wet and cold with the intention of having a dog kill a fox

We need public childcare the same way we fund primary and secondary education. I hope Seán Canney, Albert Dolan and Peter Roche are getting an absolute bollocking from their constituents.

I need to emphasize what a negative, bitter cesspool r/galway is so when they're largely positive about Catherine Connolly I'd take that as a strong endorsement. www.reddit.com/r/galway/com...

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book. [email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories. Please feel free to share.
