LRT A bucket list TTRPG campaign I want to run at some point is a megadungeon campaign inspired by Stardew Valley. The way the mines are setup in Stardew pretty perfectly matches the Diablo map that's highlighted in the article as a platonic megadungeon.

"Why megadungeons?" My pitch is that they are a campaign format that concentrates ideas, maximizes novelty, uses familiarity to advantage, and can be run in 2-4 hour sessions. Plus, between Silk Song and Delicious in Dungeon- everyone knows what they are! icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

Complete lack of patience really interfering with my fitness journey.
"I've been taking a short walk per day for a whole WEEK and it hasn't undone six years of damage to my body and solved five other completely unrelated problems? Exercise sucks!"

I think the biggest reminder I've seen that Bluesky (or at least my curated experience of it) is a weird bubble that is not reflective of normal people has been genAI. So many of the mostly-offline people I work with are all using ChatGPT to like punch up e-mails or grant reports or whatever.

So since we agree the Game Awards are bad can we just organize like a cool hangout where we talk about what games we think are neat but also there's a live performance of Une Vie a T'aimer, Raise Up Your Bat, and I Am Gonna Claw (Out Your Eyes and Drown You to Death)?

Just finally deleted the damn thing. Been meaning to for a long time, this was a good reminder of why I needed to.
I think that my blog maybe got scraped by bots or something overnight? I've had like 2000 views in the last 24 hours when I normally only clock like 200-ish, and they're all from one country. Any other bloggers seen this sort of thing?

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

There was a time we backed every #pbta #ttrpg project. Then folk's creative drive outpaced our capacity, as well as our shelf-space. It was a wicked cool moment. In 6 days, we're hoping you'll back #AW3rd, and keep the momentum rolling!
Working on the AW3rd kickstarter (T minus 6 btw) and I notice that listed under Meg's and my name it says "11 created • 347 backed."
Okay first of all, 347 backed, wowie.
But of those 347, probably around 300 have been PbtA. That's a lot to be confronted with on a Tuesday morning.
