I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

Here's a comprehensive list of the #TTRPGs I plan to run in 2026:
1) Swords & Wizardy, with tweaks (already got a jump start on that)
2) a friend's RPG in development
3) Traveller, with tweaks

Shout out to Onslaught Six over at @tidalwavegames.com for this sick fucking print out. I am now cogitating printing loads of these off in different colours on nice card and leaving them around like rare shiny pokemon.

A gift, for the festive season, my first ever an OSR. You can tell its an OSR because its made entirely out of offcuts from B2 The Keep on the Borderlands. Its compatible with many games and also incompatible with at least 3, probably.

It's the same reason why I would push students to use OED instead of trying to figure out a word "from context" in a 16th century document. You don't know the context either! You don't know anything of what you're reading! bsky.app/profile/radi...
Generative AI is amazing at tasks where I am not qualified to judge the output.

Part 102 of 200 in historically interesting things
Depictions of Medjed from 950s BCE. Medjed The Smiter is an ancient Egyptian god who shoots rays of light from his eyes, and who goes round about heaven robed in the flame of his mouth, commanding Hāpi (Nile god), but remaining himself unseen

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

“Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year roleplayer; you just got finished reading some heartbreaker, Dungeon Crawl Classics, probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to Greg Stafford.”

For day 8 of #ArtAdventCalendar, I present this animation I did about three years ago, showing a flight through a type of space colony called a Stanford Torus.
