I keep hoping it's some sort of weird, pre-convention bit that's a setup for a big reveal.

But it's not. Real bummer.

Yeah it premiered at TIFF but I guess it's not out yet. Hamnet won the People's Choice at TIFF so that might also be one to track.

I am not an insider on this despite my job but I think Nuremberg is a lock for multiple nominations.

Gutted to hear about the passing of @robowieland.bsky.social today.
He wrote games, wrote about games, and was a smart, passionate advocate for the TTRPG hobby. Gone too young.

Overdue but I'm glad to see Schumer has finally come around on getting the head of Project 2025 out of this administration.

Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1.bsky.social · 13h

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

You obviously want to support trans people, especially transgender people in sport during this period when soon, we will again no longer be allowed on the field. I'm asking that you to please donate. Pls share!

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book.

[email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories.

Please feel free to share.

This is amazing. I laughed out loud www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

As 32-year-old Rich points out, though, "it's not like using ChatGPT guarantees success".
When he met someone in a bar one Friday night and swapped social media handles, he asked AI what his next move should be.
ChatGPT discerned that sending an initial message on Monday midmorning would set the right pace. "Then it gave me some options for what the message could be," says Rich.
"Keep it light, warm, and low-stakes so it reads as genuine interest without urgency," the bot advised. "Something like: Hey Sarah, still laughing about [tiny shared moment/reference if you've got one] - good to meet you!" Rich went back and forth with ChatGPT until he felt they'd hit upon exactly the right message ("Hey Sarah, it was lovely to meet you") but sadly she never replied, he says. "It's been two weeks now."

Ridiculous. He has a license issued by THE CITY that says "DOG". People will accuse you of the most preposterous things just because I found him in the woods.
