If unions didn't work employers wouldn't pull this shit to stop them
The IWGB is arguing that the 'moles' or 'information providers' were provided time off in lieu by HR as a "sweetener" for surveilling the union discord. Emails are shown that indicate a HR rep at Rockstar allowed someone to claim back the hour they spent combing through the Discord for info.

“If the dragon didn’t have that much HP, then players would not have time to press the buttons on their character sheet” I’ve never thought about it that way. This is sad
This Game Demands a 200 HP Dragon After last night's 4e game, I felt the need to rant. The session didn't go how I wanted. Who is to blame? Me? The players? The system? A little bit of each I think. www.thedolentchronicle.com/posts/this-g...

That was surreal. I’m not supposed to be older than anybody Oh well, jazz was fun, grandpa Nikita approves
Took @coppershaman.com to a Leeds jazz bar and realised the place I went as a 21 year old trying to be cool is now full of 21 years trying to be cool and we had progressed into being chopped and unc at the jazz bar 😔

@olddog.games Hiya! Do you happen to know any artists/designers working in a similar visual style in TTRPGs? I’ve got a vague creative itch around cassette retrofuturism vibes and I’m curious who else is doing interesting work there — no concrete project yet, mostly exploring 👀

The next time you sit down to start writing a list of 10 gods and 1 evil god, stop. Don't do that. Do this instead. Get 3-6 friends who play RPGs that aren't part of your current campaign. These are your setting's gods. riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...

A very short blog post—my first in nearly nine months. Just felt like writing something quick and simple to get back in the groove. More to follow!

Holy shit!
Mothership Month is back this year, with one big caveat: no crowdfunding, no new releases. Instead we're investing back in the community: For starters: the Jump-9 Writers Grant will invest $9k in 3 new writers to help them each create a Mothership zine. www.failuretolerated.com/mothership-m...
What I’m getting from this is that price is a shortcut to communicate value If you have no social credit, putting a price on something is saying “hey, I *promise* it’s good” It’s also a way to control the buyer, force them to extract value from purchase lichvanwinkle.blogspot.com/2022/08/the-...

Sometimes the stars just align, don’t they. I was literally thinking how can add Milk Bar vibes to my next BitD game with focus on organising and then this drops God I love this community
we pitched a game where we would play community organizers building a sustainable community in the depressed streets of a modern, neglected city. This required a lot of reflavouring playbooks and building our own moves to fit the vibe, and I am so excited to announce that it is almost here! (2/?)
