But the best horror RPG* is 5E
So maybe we should wait to find out more

Delightful that the exact same gullible fools who pivoted everything to blockchain are now putting unreliable, unscaleable AI in everything.
So much money and power in society in the hands of the most clueless marks, just absolute rubes, trend-obsessed follower doggies, nothing to recommend them

As the Avatar marketing budget starts to render everything blue, a reminder that in 2013 Steven Joyce signed a deal allowing James Cameron to make unlimited Avatar sequels underwritten with a 25% govt subsidy. One big win for Joyce was the inclusion of NZ tourism ads on DVD releases.

Free Friday is one of my fav things on all of Bluesky and if you've never participated, now is a great time to start. Bookmark this shit and be ready for next week!
it's saturday and we're supposed to be trying to make money.
but it's also less than a week from the most magical thing we're lucky enough to be a part of, where making money does not matter at all.
we'll open up donations to the gift-giving pot on wednesday.

Love this! And love to see all those Intensity coasters!
In FiveEvil Fiendish 5E Horror #TTRPG, the Intensity score sets the difficulty of every check you make (and does some other things too) - so the coasters show everyone around the table just how much trouble they're in

Really upset about the sudden prevalence of the letter Z on the timeline, it’s really difficult for those of us who have been subjected to lifelong training to detect the presence of that letter with our peripheral vision, praying for a discourse with less of the letter Z plskthx

Mamdani: NYC loves a future that is affordable, and I can tell you that there were more NYCers who voted for President Trump because of that focus on cost of living.
