Hey, everybody new! My name is Dylan, and I am a host at @killeverymonster.bsky.social, a producer for @deadghost.bsky.social, and a physicist from Canada.

If you wanna hear me elsewhere, I ran the Havoc Brigade series on @oneshotnetwork.bsky.social and was a player in arc 11 on Unprepared Casters.

This is an act of absolute cowardice, and a complete failure as an academic institution.
Trans graduate assistant Mel Curth has been removed from her position at the University of Oklahoma after a Christian student complained a failing grade she received in a psychology essay – because she cited the Bible rather than empirical evidence – was a violation of her right to free speech.

Hey, you there! eagerly downloading that new Full Cast version of those books by the mouldy bigot lady, this is YOU doing that. This is what you are funding, the needlessly cruel ripping up of trans people's lives

Draw Steel proves that it's everyone else that let me down. Dragons can be so cool, and everyone else needs to live up to that instead of throwing more colours at them.

Not naming any companies. You'd have to be some sort of Wizard to guess who I mean.

Of the Coast.
I am back to say that these dragons, as a certified dragon-hater, are so fucking good.

Dragons are a great concept that is never delivered on, and these little fuckers are an exception to that rule.

Being old isn't an excuse for not making art.

Make room for people starting later.
I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

In case you missed it: Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld has been nominated for THREE Children's & Family Emmy awards, including... Outstanding Writing!

Series creator Echo Wu and I were privileged to work with incredible writers on this show, and I'm over the moon that our work has been recognised.
I'd love to connect with more creatives on here, so: intro post!

I'm a screenwriter from London who moved to LA just before the ol' panny-D. I'm head writer of Jentry Chau Vs The Underworld, which comes out on Netflix Dec 5th! If you like Buffy, you'll like this:

Yo, @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social

Tell me who wrote the mechanics for Doomed in Draw Steel. They deserve to be specifically known.

If you can't avoid having a take, it's also legal to shut up about it.

It's your take. No one else needs to know that.
It’s legal to not have a take btw

@criticallit.bsky.social I still call it Vah-luh-kie, rhyming with eye.

I will not be corrected.

I think part of the reason non-monogamy is so prevalent in TTRPG spaces is once you have to regularly schedule five adults to be in the same room at the same time, the idea of working around multiple people's schedules where they don't all have to intersect is way less intimidating.

Best multclass options mid-campaign:

Warlock
Barbarian
Paladin
Fighter if you train with a martial at camp

That's all. That's all the options.
Not to DnD post on main but Warlock is my least favourite class to start a game with but my absolute favourite ever ever to take a level in halfway through a campaign. I have made a deal with an entity mid way through a game at least 5 times and it always fucks.

This is a great thread with mostly useful advice, but I'm going to add a quick reminder:

If you don't have anything to say, you don't need to respond. "I don't like AP podcasts" is not a valuable sentiment in this conversation. Not everything needs your input.

Just a reminder that, given Rosalind Franklin's publication, if Watson and Crick hadn't "discovered" the structure of DNA, someone else would have read her paper and come to the same conclusion within the year.
In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.

This idea of market saturation for a creative medium is wrongly founded in the first place.

If you're looking to do AP as a business, yeah. It's much harder when you're competing for ears. I know very few shows that are actually profitable.
New from TTRPG Insider: One of those questions I've been asking myself is about how 'big' Actual Play content can get. There are a lot of folks who are really excited to create in this space. But are there too many shows already? www.ttrpginsider.news/p/are-there-...
Are There Too Many Actual Plays?
An in-depth exploration of the actual play phenomenon: Are we witnessing an oversaturation of TTRPG performances, or just the beginning of a vibrant content landscape?

A month ago, Ontario’s Auditor General told Doug Ford’s government to create a public, accountable climate plan with emissions-reduction targets — as courts have also ordered.

Today, the government’s fall economic statement eliminates all legal obligation to do so. #onpoli

I can't wait to see all of my mutuals that play Fortnite regularly to not touch the game for the entirety of the season in solidarity of all of their trans homies! It's so nice knowing so many people that aren't just allies when it's convenient for them! 🙂💖

Hint. Fucking. Hint.
