Most of the discussionI have seen about the The Campaign Handbook focuses on how useful it is for people who are new to DMing.
I want to take a different approach.
I've been doing this both as a GM and as a writer for a long time. Next time I need to plan 5e campaign, I will be using this book.

I'd probably go for Homage to Catalonia
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

Tintin in the dungeon.
Continuing the experimentation with Hergé's style with the new tablet at work. Work is substantially traced, so I can get a feel for his lines, and so I can focus on line weight and expanding slowly on the style.

As the year draws to a close, and I settle into a month with no RPG play, I am thinking about what I am looking forwards to next year with regards to TTRPGs. I am going limit myself to three things.
- Running some Dolmenwood RPG
- Trying Daggerheart
- Starting my home Enemy Within campaign

I am very happy to say that Why We Fight is rolling of the press. Working with Stop, Drop & Roll Games Studio was great fun and I am really proud of the part I played in this project; as a guest writer for the scenario Optics.
As ever, all power to the Community Alliance! Can't wait to get my copy.

What certain people do to old photos with Artificial Idiocy under the guise of "restoring" them should fall under crimes against humanity. I mean that's basically applying beauty filters and the result has very little to do with what the people on the photos originally might have looked like 🙈🤬

The UK is considering a policy that would effectively segregate trans people from society. It would bar trans people from "single sex spaces" even when they use the facility of their sex assigned at birth.
This is a full on policy of segregation without even the benefit of separate facilities.

It seems my #TTRPG work is still drawing "eastern front enthusiasts"* RE killing Nazis.
So, Nazis and other assorted Fascists, this is just to say:
I hate you with every fiber of my being.
I don't want your money.
Fuck off.
This hobby has room for everyone...except you.

Capitalism is incredible. Sorry, former teacher, your retirement fund is gone because 5 guys who've collectively never worked a full hour told the banks to put all the money in the country into virtual girlfriend futures
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”

So today I found a really good solution for miniatures for an Arden Vul game.
wofungames.com have a bunch of flat. image printed pawns with art well suited to each of the major cultures of the setting.
They also have a limited range of fantasy pawns, some of which fit well with the setting.
