Come play with me! There will be wizards! Doing business! And making puns!

This light-hearted game uses the Polymorph system (easy to pick up - you only have to worry about 1 die) & we'll co-create the scenario together in advance of the stream.

DIE as a comic and game is devastating in the best way, or it can be just a pleasant jaunt (if you're built for this sort of thing but I have to ask you how???).

I can't wait for the sequel series and you still have plenty of time to catch up!

October 20th is the order cut off for DIE: LOADED, sequel to the three-time Hugo-nominated DIE. I've pulled together a short primer it with all the info you need on it - what it is, previews, full cover details (check out our sketch variant!) and more. Go nose! Join our party. It's an experience.

DIE: Loaded

The sequel to the three-times Hugo-nominated, award winning dark fantasy comic, DIE.

DIE is doing a blank cover variant. I want to get one, then have an artist draw a cover for one of my characters.

one of the various things i have my hands in is Andrea's Adventurers, which was set up by @wisdomcheck.ca to support Cancer Research

which means we get to play games, people get to donate to make things more exciting, and there are also goodies in a silent auction! including signed Delta Green?!

This is incredibly basic but you can in fact oppose murder while also opposing murder.

I don't trust the police to protect synagogues given they literally just shot and killed a Jewish man at a synagogue. But if I did, that would surely be far more important than arresting a bunch of pensioners.

Protest group Defend Our Juries has said in response a planned demonstration for this weekend will still take place.

“You should know me better than that”

If you repeat Nazi talking points, I’m going to assume you’re a Nazi.

It’s not personal. It’s a safety issue.

Maybe idk. Don’t say Nazi shit?

Maybe try that.

For 56 minutes Sky News and BBC News interrupted everything else and carried a Reform UK feed live, uninterrupted, unchallenged. The stream spluttered, froze, pixelated - dozens of times - still they stuck with it. FOR ONE HOUR.

This is an editorial choice. No other party gets this coverage. ~AA

Good to see fascists outnumbered in Glasgow once again - and vital context on the hypocrisy of fash organisers outlined in local reporting:

"Watt, who was found guilty of abusing two of his ex-partners in 2018 [...] campaigns against immigration, often raising fears of women's and girls’ safety."

100% the latter, I used to do this 'til I was the person at the end of the line being asked to move and I realised how stupidly annoying it is for everyone else. It makes everyone's life easier if everyone just sits where they're supposed to!
