Hello dreamers!

Did you know that @spiderqueenlong.bsky.social and I, of @dieselshot.bsky.social fame, have a fully playable 304-page Hard Sci-Fi Tabletop RPG set in a more hopeful future? And that you can download and play it RIGHT NOW?

It's true! <^_^> #ttrpg

One of the fun groupings of mech in the upcoming Mecha Stock Art Pack is the "Frankenstein" Mechs which show field repairs and integration of non-homogenous elements. I expect the pack will release by the end of the week. :3

Me but with Literally Every Fight in round-the-table-real-life-cam AP. This is why I couldn't watch any but the Chain (until Ringwell when sadly that became 1oo% of my brain trying to focus on it).

East Kyrlizia is out into the world and peoples' sails are starting to fill with grim adventure!

It feels an apt time as any to ask:
How do we feel about hexes with sub-designations rather than "prime step" designations? The below is the hex map of East Kyrlizia, where I utilized .5 steps. #ttrpg

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.

A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.

We will choose the future.

You can do anything as an indie TTRPG designer, but you can never—NEVER—let the part of you that deeply resents Wizards of the Coast die. Go anywhere, do anything, but give up on that Guiding Light in your Heart of Hearts, and it's OVER. #ttrpg

Any of my fellow TTRPG creators have experience setting up DTRPG POD?

I have bounced off this Help Center article for weeks now and I'm just not gonna learn from anything they've written, but I'm also not gonna provide people the pod option I keep getting asked for without using their service.

Bluesky definitely has the infrastructure for that type of tagging/preference sorting.

Facebook is great and was my biggest social platform... before i was permabanned unappealably last week :/

Grok has essentially no guard rails and routinely produces images of Elon putting a gun in his mouth to kill himself with basic prompting. Now imagine that same lack of safety applied to children.

I really like all the small projects and regular creators who I see post here. Much better than Twitter with mandatory ads and random right wing ideology pushes.

Border Patrol “attempted to arrest a plumber working inside a Logan Heights home but left empty-handed after the homeowner refused them entry.

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”

Federal immigration operations target San Diego neighborhoods, sparking community resistance

Federal immigration agents conducted operations in Logan Heights and Southeast San Diego on Friday, with community members capturing footage of the enforcement actions.

Seeing menswear guy is at 500k is like seeing Prometheus climbing, hands raw and bloody, up to Olympus to steal fire for from the gods for us; at the top 1million, but what lies ahead within the Ultrahighbiecircle of Bluesky?

Only cancellation can await there.

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Vornluka has always been an enthusiastic Ship's Doctor, but she's oddly thrilled to be around pirates and danger.

Vornluka is one of 13 pre-generated characters, 9 Civilians and 4 Pirates, all thrust into danger—play her in the forthcoming ChangedStars module, Marooned!
