The fact that I am here and able to share numbers and give looks under the hood is because we’ve survived. Survivor bias is in effect. If you’re not also learning from companies that failed you’re ignoring a ton of relevant data.

When they talk about Policing toilets? There’s a serious point about the cops being a greater risk to women than trans people have ever been that’s totally missing from mainstream discourse:

Gutting the programming led by & designed to support BIPOC, queer, and disabled people is a real bad look always, but perhaps especially now, & especially when it looks like cost-cutting to open a 4th convention. In other news #Metatopia2026 is in Morristown NJ in two weeks.

Here's today's ask: I am looking for the AB CHAOS newsletter that Chaosium put out in 7 issues from 1990-1992. As usual, this is for work on my CoC history (but also for Designers & Dragons 3e down the road). Scans would be awesome so I could stitch them together, but tight photos good too!

this is categorically insane

I'm on the new episode of Dice Exploder with @sam.diceexploder.com, talking about "Rights" from Dark Ages. This was a fun chat -- check it out here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

A ton of #iHunt and that's not all for $25? All treat, no trick. itch.io/s/204657/oct...

I'm gonna be blasting a LOT in the coming few days/weeks/months/whatever, but, if you want to keep appraised of the #iHunt film, TV, and vertical news, join our newsletter. You'll get fun art and fiction there, too. www.ihunt.media

Some little indie rag wrote about #iHunt? NBD but you should check this out.

Ooooh boy.

Happy to announce today that @mirhi.bsky.social will be taking on additional duties with us here at Evil Hat. We've been working with Frank for 2 years now, he most recently organized the weekend streaming marathon for Rangers of a Broken World. Thankful for his skills boosting community engagement!

Omg you all did it. You unlocked Raccoon Space Pirates. Thank you so much! Thank you. You're awesome. I can't wait to make this for you.

The Rangers are gathering. Will you heed the call? Channel the power of your Deilith. Weave your spell notes with the magic of the land. Destroy, redirect, and outlast your enemies. Rangers of a Broken World Live now on Backerkit: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e... Get the full rules when you back.

Every layoff in a flailing attempt to service un-servicable buyout debt becomes a drain on the economy and governments around the world, all so a few people can hollow out the corpse of the company and wear it like a onesie. That we permit this is not only rot, it's institutional corruption.

we should all be pissed off at this btw. if not because sex work is legitimate work and should be treated with respect, then because you should be concerned at attempts to gentrify online spaces as pretext to court investors and force out minorities so those spaces can become part of a portfolio.

Interesting to note; any and all files within D&D Beyond's Sigil VTT will disappear at the end of this month (thanks to Virtual Battle Mats for the heads up!). Any and all files within will vanish. Thankfully nearly all of the content has been released for free. But still good to note.

Secret easter egg: In Rangers of a Broken World, if you flip the pages fast enough, you'll "scroll" across the lands of Amylte. See it in action for yourself. Instantly get the Prototype PDF (full rules, limited art but includes the page borders) when you back: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4 It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

NEW: From the birth of roleplaying to the discovery of the Forgotten Realms, from the rise of Basic D&D to the fall of Mystara, historian Shannon Appelcline brings you the story of OD&D, Basic D&D, and AD&D 1e in Designers & Dragons: Origins. From @evilhat.bsky.social

the entire bioware situation is just another episode of how now, more than ever, YOU are important to the small indie things you enjoy getting somewhere. talk about the things you love. buy it physical if you can. make art. share links. don't just go 'everything i love is dying', that's how it does.

I kind of love this as an example of brain rot, the importance of power dynamics in the use of AI and, critically, what happens when you stop remembering that and start believing the unqualified hype.

This video captures a lot of my thoughts on productivity. Working on things I‘m good at is often easy and fast, working on things I’m bad at is slow and hard. But having the opportunity to work on things that matter to me is what drives me. youtu.be/Fj-INVmmILo?...

Absolutely gutted. When all of us were upset about the EA buyout, this is what we were mourning. The moment that was allowed to go through we were mourning the loss of one of the greatest studios for story-driven games ever made. I hope they pull a Toys For Bob, aggregate & relaunch independently.

Due to today’s worldwide PHP security vulnerability, we are doing our part to ensure a safe and secure experience for our users. We have taken DriveThruRPG sites offline as we await essential PHP security updates. We’ll keep folks updated as the work to implement these progresses.

holy smokes, conan strikes up a chat with a random lady on the subway and she immediately starts riffing on his level, no problem.

@olddog.games this thing is absolutley gorgous. The Map is especially brilliant.

You want your (Evil Hat's) quarterly sales volume tabulation? I gotchu. Public facing quarterly numbers tabulated at docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Quarterly numbers archive (ten years deep) at drive.google.com/drive/folder...

We've been thinking about the ultra-rich in space all wrong. Thanks, Amos!

American pride is unique problem

Crazy this is not obvious to Wall Street: every democracy saw what Musk did to Ukraine last week and confirmed security need for Starlink alternative. Those alternatives will not just serve defense needs, but also be viable commercial alternatives, crushing any hope of SpaceX's monopoly projections.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42
