You know I had to grab SPACER by @arcanesword.bsky.social

I hate to do this again on the heels of his kidney obstruction but Onion got into a dangerous amount of garlic powder and I have to take him to the emergency vet. If you’re able to help us out a little, my Venmo is Jeeyon-Shim, and my PayPal is jeeyon.shim@gmail.com

I keep seeing this (youtu.be/u5kEbkeX_94?...) channel recommended to me on YouTube and it is just so frustrating because its purporting to use history to advise worldbuilders but it is just...off. Relentless autodidact problems where things are misinterpreted or misunderstood.

If you meet Sam Sorensen on the road, bury him in your pyramid.

I think this is mostly not going to be news to people already into TTRPGs, and it mainly focuses on the 5E/Actual Play world. But it's interesting to see our hobby get covered thoughtfully by folks with a broader audience. youtu.be/6tE3cqhUAjg?...

⚠️ Accessories are here! RPG Trader just got a big upgrade. Creators can now offer print-on-demand physical accessories for their games - alongside digital downloads & print books. Cards. Dice. Maps. GM screens. Tiles. Character sheets. Game boxes. And it all happens directly through RPG Trader.

Categories are fake, there will always be weird edge cases where the boundaries fail, this is just a fact. The question is not "is this category REAL or TRUE" the question is "is this category USEFUL" because categories are tools, not features of the universe.

The first rule of Fight Club is you do not get your opponent wet. The second rule of Fight Club is you do not expose your opponent to bright light. The third rule of Fight Club is you do not feed your opponent after midnight.

114. The Nymphs of Neso by @bad-quail.itch.io An ascetic asteroid depthcrawl for their own game, Mud + Laser 🐞 A cleanly laid out trifold pamphlet with map. Very atmospheric, baroque, & esoteric medieval space vibes throughout. What if Nymphs not in the mythological sense, but the entomological?

My view on GM fiat is, like, comprehensive: - Pick a set of rules you'll get good mileage out of. - Try to make & note large adjustments beforehand. - In play, decide what needs resolving. - Don't fudge, just don't roll. - When doing resolution in an off-book way, say so and how. - Own your shit.

Evangelion walk cycle in the style of James Baxter ❤️ By Kushal Kishore (instagram.com/kushalkishore)

For International Cat Day. Thus is among my favorite picture of my boy Mal.

Ironically, Ben Shapiro’s concept of Judaism as a religion one has to profess belief in, in the modern Protestant sense, rather than a people one is born into, shows how much he has assimilated his friends in the evangelical right into his concept of Jewish identity.

Idk man I think a worker owned collective of journalists who aren't afraid to report complicated situations of harm in our industry is really good and I'd like to see it continue and hopefully one day expand. I'd love for said journalists to be able to earn a livable wage while doing it too. 💙
