There are only two ways that I can see this working with a D20 system: 1) If it's Modiphius' 2D20 system 2) If the name "Derek Salgy" appears in the credits for game designers.

Current writing projects: A Magi-Knights mini campaign about a Magi-Knight who voided himself from people's memories. The book is titled "Sole Oblation" A free Magi-Knights book where they have to keep a kitsune girl from falling into the cult's hands. Titled "Tails From The Cryptid"

Fuck yeah. Gonna go make an offering to this god.

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

If you check the links in my bio, you'll see I write TTRPG books. One of my favorites is "Take Me Out of the Ballgame" which involves helping a trans girl out of the closet so she can help save the boys' baseball team from certain death. Go give it a look!

Acknowledge other people's struggle in the game of life, remind them that it's dangerous to go alone, and offer to play together. That's how you be a human being.

Just had a thought that will make me edit my trans spidey fics: What if when spidey came out, she didn't just change her first name, but to make a clean break, she took MJ's last name as her own?

This is why you need to read business news. Not for stock market updates, but instead to keep an eye out for "X company was purchased by private equity." Because once you see that phrase, that business is dying, and the new owners signed a DNR.

Here's how private equity killed your local mall.

My brain: Hey got one for you. Not a big project, just two words to think about. Me: Fine, go ahead. My brain: "Theremin Sword" Me: How the fuck would that work?

Listen to me. Listen. I'm going to say something incredibly important: If you do not see Wildwood in theaters, you are missing a lifechanging experience. GO SEE WILDWOOD!

Imagine being an egg and a Jaeger Pilot. Imagine if the person you're drifting with tells you after you mop up a Category Three "There's still time, you know." How would you react?

In last night's #MagiKnights session: Stone angel statues move? But they're not weeping. They're pleading to be rescued. Because they're a Squadron of Magi-Knights that went missing in 1974. They were petrified and reshaped by a cosmic being that wanted to revel in their helplessness forever.

And now for my next trick...I will write a short story about a person with bad hiccups being scared out of it, questioning their friend and accepting it playfully using only sixteen characters... Here goes... "AIEEE! Y? O...U!"

They won't do articles from the other side of the issue because "I'm happier, in a better mental state and have no regrets" doesn't buy ad space.

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

You know what's worse than seeing AI art on social media? Seeing AI art on a billboard on the highway. Saw it yesterday from a company that's been in business for decades, and had used billboards in the same spot without AI back in April.

Here's my plan. My very first Startplaying paid game will be teaching new players how to play #Magiknights with my adventure "Lost in a Book." If they like it as a one shot, then we'll move into the other books, published or not.

If you’re on the fence let this be your wake up call. You -can- be a girl. You can do that. You’re allowed to. Don’t let yourself or anyone else get in your way. All you gotta do is accept yourself for who you’ve always been~ 💖
