Hello new folks, My Name is Richard

I am manifold, like warped stained glass in an abandoned grey stone church

Other than being cryptic I am a writer, coordinator, and art director at Adventure Noises

I am making my own anti-colonial ttrpg, The Banishing! my-name-is-richard.itch.io/thebanishing

The Banishing by My Name is Richard

A ttrpg about reclaiming a culture denied to you by a society of monsters, while walking a path of your own choosing.

This is moving because he’s addressing our community— but it’s also so so good, like, technically in terms of pronunciation. The authenticity of this campaign is off the charts because there are so many of us, from all different backgrounds, so invested.

Death averted.

3-panel comic. In the first panel, a cat tells a girl, "I'll kill you".

In the second panel, the girl pets the cat's tummy, and says, "no".

In the third panel, the cat purrs on the floor, and the girl gives a thumbs up to the viewer.

The ‘dislike’ thing is private for now:

‘…testing a “dislike” option as a new feedback signal to improve personalization in Discover and other feeds.’

‘Dislikes are private and the signal isn’t global — it mainly affects your own experience and, to an extent, others in your social neighborhood.’

From comments, it sounds like ppl would like more context on the purpose of archives & long term preservation, on copyright, and on preservation threats related to access (like pw protected stuff, or stuff only 1 person can access). I’ll start drafting! Lmk if anything else comes to mind.

Here is the first draft to my brief guide to the digital preservation of Actual Play, from a digital archives perspective, targetted at AP producers.

I say "brief guide" but, you know, I'm me.

I've been playing a little V Rising during my surgery recovery today and saw they're doing an art contest where everyone draws their vampire. It's almost Halloween, how could I resist?
Very much a WIP.

If "Valheim meets Diablo via vampires" appeals to you, the game's half off on 💨 rn.

#VRising

Vampire woman in armored boots, leather pants, a crop top, and overcoat, holding a rose. The paint is partially finished, only showing her skin to be red-pink, and the rose is red. Red blood drips down her hand and falls, blowing in the wind with her long black hair.

I love that this guy is just walking all over the place talking to people

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

Zohran with his hand on his chest leaning into the passenger side window of a taxi, talking with the driver.

Zohran extending his hand to shake hands with a taxi driver through the window.

An airport worker showing Zohran something on his phone, both are smiling.

It's so weird that all my friends are beautiful dewy-skinned angels and all my enemies are grotesque hideous ghouls who eat raw carrion in the sewer. Wild coincidence

Troupe style is one of those approaches to RPGs that people resist but I tend to find love when they actually try it.

Basically:
You have a character that's yours.
You may have a secondary character.
You then have a pool of other characters you can grab as needed.
