D&D even convinces English majors like me to do math.

YOU’RE WELCOME, WORLD.
We all know #dnd involves math. But THIS MUCH MATH?!

See how much math we do this Sunday on @playersandbook.com with @dcimmerian.bsky.social @latiajacquise.com @dreamwisp.bsky.social @goblinkatie.com & me! #ttrpg

...it'll probably be way more drama, less math!

I just learned that TED changed the name of my TEDx talk from "Emotional Bleed in RPGs" to "How role-playing games affect us emotionally" because of the word "Bleed" - which I say during my talk in every other sentence.

Hey, I'm making a cool #Daggerheart thing, and once I get $13 more I'll start releasing plenty of Adversaries pretty often until they end up making a very cool-looking product.

Would really appreciate it if you checked it out ☺️

There are some really warm, accepting, gracious spaces where you can chat with tabletop game designers, get feedback, and even playtest your ideas. As Elizabeth suggests, Break My Game is one: discord.gg/breakmygame

This long-form piece by Mia Sato is really, really good. And I rarely say that, even about my own bylines.

When I was translating Kon Satoshi, in order to understand him better I spent time reading his personal blog. I'll never forget him writing "They say what Aronofsky is doing is an "homage." I know my English isn't great, but I don't understand the difference between "homage" and being "ripped off."

Trash to Treasure and AwaG are PWYW for the next month! If you or someone you know is stuck at home, we'd like to offer some of our games to read or play while you are.

If you want to support affected people, all tips and purchases during this time are going to the Immigrant Law Center of MN.
In an effort to aid our community and offer opportunities for play to our neighbors affected by ICE raids, we've made Axolotl with a Gun and Trash to Treasure pay what you want on Itch through February. All proceeds will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota.

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art.

She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

“Earlier this month, 404 Media reported that Palantir is working on a tool for ICE that ‘populates a map w/ potential deportation targets, brings up a dossier on each person, & provides a ‘confidence score’ on the person’s current address.” The tool reportedly obtains many…addresses from [HHS]”
Who takes Palantir's money? A new tracker finds out.
ICE relies on the firm for deportation tech—and its PAC pays it forward to Congress.

By the time you are 40 you should have lived through two terms for "Men washing themselves and knowing how to do do some household chores", three for "Toxic masculinity but it's new now", six for "Your boss doesn't respect boundaries" and 37 words for "transphobe but without the bad connotations."

What can videogames can learn from their analogue counterparts? After all, some scholars argue that modern videogames owe their design & aesthetic trappings to old-school D&D.
