overheard in a gift shop today where there were blatantly AI generated Halloween illustrations, an older woman went "ohh how cute!" and the teenager with her, So Done, goes "I know you have a hard time telling, but that is AI, it's ugly, and I'm sick of it" I wanted to throw that teen a parade

My first 4 TTRPGs: 1. AD&D 2. D&D 3.5 3. Pathfinder 4. Star Wars Age of Rebellion 5. Aliens RPG

It's the last week to get in that Spooky Season watch before Halloween. If you need a bit of help, don't miss our Horror Movie Recommendation Special. Connor Goldsmith, Kristen Gudsnuk, and Julio Anta joined me to dish on some of our favorites. youtu.be/MxWtGJm00qU

Had to end the stream early due to internet problems. Womp wooomp. At least next time I'll be able to dive right into Tenebris Somnia.

Hey, I'm live now! Come hang out, and after sitting through a bunch of real stinky ads on Twitch we can enjoy the finale of Frank Stone - and then hopefully a much better game!! www.twitch.tv/34thgingerbr...

Mini Pokemon enamel pins are up on the shop now. Tiny and shiny hehe I’d love to make more pins like this but it depends on how much love these two get 🙏 #pokemon #shop

I'll be streaming some spooky games at 6pm EST tonight for Extra Life! Frank Stone sucks but I want to beat it so we can move onto some spookier games! 🕯️🎃👻Come hang out with me! And if you can spare any change, please donate to my Extra Life campaign! 👻🎃🕯️ dd.extra-life.org/participants...

There are a lot of choices in modern anime I'm not a huge fan of, but I really dig the when the show's big movie is also canon. How am I supposed to argue about whether or not my favorite character would win in a fight if their strongest and coolest move is in a non-canon piece of media?

In 2016, we published potentially the largest single feature to ever appear in Game Informer magazine with a full oral history of the legendary studio, BioWare. We've made that feature available online following reports of the studio's impending closure. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

Teasing out a Daggerheart conversion book! Coming next year, we hope! #daggerheart www.backerkit.com/c/projects/n...

Shout out to all my fellow indie #ttrpg publisher friends, and independent artist and writer and musician friends, et al. You've all, individually, made roughly $80 billion more† than Anthropic so far this year. Starting to think we might be the future. † ±0.001% margin of error.

Most of my Teldramir adventures this month have a spooky theme! So far I've done: 👻Trapped room that summons murderous romance spirits! 🎃Shipwreck patrolled by a hungry swimming basilisk! 👻Sewer overgrown with killer flora! 🎃Battle between dragon, insects, and adventurers amid rising flood waters!

Haunted Hotel on Netflix is so good. Please please please watch it and don't let Netflix cancel another amazing animated show. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxEz...

I totally forgot to share this! I found out by sheer coincidence that one of my Teldramir community members helped develop the original Aliens Vs Predator card game, and he gifted me an uncut sheet of cards he was given years back. An incredible gift. I have no idea where I'm going to hang it.

Hey it's time to stream some spooky games!

I'll be streaming some spooky games at 8pm EST tonight! The plan is a bit of DBD before I play more of The Casting of Frank Stone. ...or if it sucks and we hate it, I'll swap to Tenebris Somnia! 🕯️🎃👻Come hang out - and if you can spare any change please donate to my Extra Life campaign! 👻🎃🕯️

If anyone else want's to print themselves off one of these bunkers it's a free download on both my stores. cults3d.com/en/users/Doc... www.myminifactory.com/users/Doctor... Like all my designs it prints off on an FDM printer with no supports. Enjoy! #Nerdlings #Oldhammer #3DPrinting #Warhammer

It’s my birthday today! 🌈🎉 I humbly ask that you check out and/or share my spooky seafaring webcomic Phantomarine 💀 And if you’ve already read it, please tell me what you’re most excited about for the future of the story 👀 Thank you so much 🙏😭 www.phantomarine.com

Your GMs greatest fear is the moment two of the party's favorite NPCs with silly voices meet each other. They will never admit it, but they secretly do everything possible to prevent this from happening as best they can.

The emo filipino is beating the bald gremlin. I lost my house and the clothes on my back to Luny in our illegal sports gambling bet...

I got a chance to play Monster Slaughter with friends today! I've been looking forward to playing this game for years - it seemed so silly and fun, and I'm glad to confirm it's a really good time! It took us a round to fully understand the rules, but hopefully we'll do another go at it soon!

It's spooky stream time! Come join me for a few DBD matches before I hop into The Casting of Frank Stone. www.twitch.tv/34thgingerbr...

More spooky comics I've read! Chasing Bloody Mary and String Figures by Darcy Morgan we're a lot of fun. CBM was a delightful spooky mystery that has a very fun twist. Adeline Kon's My Father Was a Good Man was not a comic I could relate to, but I definitely felt the passion in it. Beautiful work.

Hey! It's that time of the year again, where I do a bit of streaming to raise money for Extra Life. If you like playing spooky games, please join me tonight at 9pm EST as I decide what we'll be playing to raise a bit of money for an excellent cause! dd.extra-life.org/participants...

You can't just give me Mighty Max as a kid and not expect me to grow into an adult who is constantly fixated on cool miniatures.

Do you have a book coming out soon? Send me a press release 📨 keepingitgeekly@gmail.com

First spooky comic of the season finished! Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees was an amazing book, and this second chapter was just as wild a ride. A great start to this month of spooky reading. Highly recommend!

Everyone wish her a happy birthday RIGHT NOW

You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to the AI board game startup www.rascal.news/you-do-not-u...

FEAST is an upcoming indie comic - a dark, wordless, holiday folktale about power and sacrifice. It launches in just two weeks, but the pre-launch page is up now! www.kickstarter.com/projects/141...

I rarely share much about my own relationship online because people create negative interpretations even for the most benign moments. (This couple didn’t even have a choice in going viral.) I think many project their own negative relationship experiences on others. Maybe self reflect instead!

Mark my words, the current Gen AI paint stroke font trend is the modern day Comic Sans. It's a mark of low quality garbage. It shows you don't care. If I see this at a craft or maker fair, I will avoid you. If I see it on Facebook, I will boycott your business.

NEW: In Fatherfog, you and your fellow party members try to survive in a world where fairy tales, as you know them, exist in their full horror. Cautionary folklore holds more truth than tale, and your knowledge of them may hurt your chances of survival as much as help. By Alan Gerding

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

I'm on the hunt for Canadian small businesses who make fun stationary, specifically letter sets, envelopes, and/or stamps.

The Centipede Bride (지네각시) CR 7. Naturally skilled in witchcraft, they remember past lives where they lost true love. Vowing never to allow it to happen, they use curses and poisons to jealously guard anyone worthy of their affections. Regardless of their say in the matter.

I think I'm 75% done with my current 5e project, and I'm fighting that creative urge to dive into something else. I think the next resource I work on will be 100% role play focused. Theres so much combat content out there, it'll be fun to make a resource with no damage focused design.

I think if at any point in time during character creation in a TTRPG you use the term 'meta' to describe building your character's skills, spells, or talent build, you're probably a really boring person to have at the table.

I just finished this underwater prehistoric style alligator guy. I don't have a name for him yet so that's the best we're going with. I'm not fully satisfied with him but I'm trying to find a nice balance of 'this looks nice on the table' and 'this won't take me a thousand hours'. How do we feel?

Sometimes you just gotta let your players make the dungeon! Yesterday's adventure had players exploring sewers one street at a time, killing plants, setting off traps, and making friends with beholder-ish creatures! The party built the dungeon as we revealed cards to random encounters.
