I finally got to try The CryptID Show by @anicacihla.com , and boy was this fun! Absolutely loved the vibe, we had such good moments, already imagined it being a weekly content with the community ^^ Expect an actual play on Sunday (in French, sorry)

we need a word for when a vaguely poor taste joke isn’t unfunny because it’s not woke enough, but because it’s just a poorly-written joke. “hack” isn’t it, since hack jokes can still be well-written but tired premises

People writing books and/or RPG adventures, what’s the nerdiest, most pointless bit of research you’ve done in the name of worldbuilding that you very probably didn’t need to do & no one else cared about? I just found my old notes with all the phases of the moon & tides in Northern England in 1566

I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

exhausted from fighting all the nonstop thought spirals that are constantly running in the background of my mind, call that battling my daemons

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.

Due to the continued issues with Kickstarter & the recent announcements around censorship, we are announcing the move of @navaarsnp.bsky.social's Soothwardens to @backerkit.com This was a unanimous choice by Navaar & entire team. It means starting from 0 and rebuilding. ttrpg.link/soothwardens 1/3

did a new ttrpg starter pack get posted? woke up to a bunch of new game designer followers and it’s awesome! excited to check out everyone’s work! but also where are all y’all coming from

there is a throwaway visual gag in the show Widow’s Bay where there’s an old 60’s era tabletop game called TEETH and the only thing inside of it is a pair of pliers and idk how to explain it but that is exactly the vibe i’m trying to capture with my games

this is the most Brindlewood Bay (the setting part not the little old ladies part) show I have ever seen it’s so FUCKING GOOD

sorry joni but in retrospect, i would happily pay a dollar and a half to go to a tree museum. bet there’s some interesting stuff in there.

The “direct relationship” line is such paternalistic bullshit. It just means “we prefer conversations where we can tell you to jump and you have to ask how high.” A union is still a “direct relationship” - just one between equals instead of one between superior and inferior.

Wizards of the Coast has issued their first response to our announcement of unionization. I am glad that they agree that workers are the lifeblood of the company, however it is important to note that we tried and failed to raise our voices for years about this stuff and were unheard.

Welcome to Cryptid Radio Canada, where we find host Gander Halifacts chatting with a caller who has gotten himself in a hairy situation... Welcome back to our creep-tastic time with the third episode of This Hour Has 22 Cryptids! We hope you enjoy this little slice of weird during your work week.

too many people are sleeping on the expanded Nancy Drewniverse of point-and-click mystery games. there’s like 40 of them and they’re all great

The U.S House of Representatives voted to permanently undo protections for the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. Now it's up to the Senate who will likely vote within the next two weeks. Please speak up for this important wilderness area. ⬇️
