For the sake of the Swedish TTRPG community: help this creator find an Illustrator of maps!
En illustratör till mitt kommande rollspelsäventyr var tvungen att hoppa av pga livet.
Jag behöver en något abstraherad stadskarta i stil med denna. Är det någon som känner igen sig i den estetiken och vill vara med?

(Arvoderas självklart också)

GMing a TTRPG is something I enjoy the same way I enjoy hosting dinner; it's work I enjoy doing, gives me a lot of control and lets me to show off a skill I am proud of.

But that's my choice, traditionally D&D etc have framed DMing as an obligation when it would benefit from a pot luck mentality.
The "traditional" structure of TTRPGs puts an enormous amount of pressure on the GM to learn/refine & very little on the players.

Which is somehow seen as more reasonable than spreading the load of learning/contribution across the whole table.

Broader implications about community in there, y'all.

Välfärd kräver ingen avgränsning. Det är en pakt o erkännande mellan alla i ett samhälle att vi alla under långa perioder av våra liv är improduktiva men kombinerat som samhälle kan vi bära varandra pga våra gemensamma produktiva perioder. Det skalas bara upp när fler kommer till. Måste ses över tid

Almost finished with the Call of Cthulhu Welsh Sourcebook. A few more bits and a visit to the National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth and done. I'll need to put it in the hands of people more talented and experienced than I am.

I've struggled to play TTRPGs for a few years and I want to fix that, so each month this year I am resolving to play one I haven't before.

Jan is Mythic Bastionland and Feb is Lancer, but I was wondering what games from the last few years people recommend playing?

RTs would be appeciated

They're enabling creepy lonely men to create submissive "AI companions" that can be modeled on whatever real-life woman they're obsessed with and made to do whatever they want and, Jesus Christ, I need to wash my hands just typing that.
"And I never say no"

We need to have a serious talk about the way "AI companion" apps not only prey on the vulnerable, but are priming their users to ignore consent and to conflate love with control.

We need AI regulations across so many sectors, but this area is particularly horrifying.

Jag ska återkommande citera hovrätten för Västra Sverige:

"Hovrätten har svårt att frigöra sig från tanken att kriminalpolitiken under senare år kan ha bidragit till en ökad rekrytering av yngre barn i allvarlig brottslighet."

Led by the richest (is he still one top?) and followed by the Swedish government.
This fetid landmark, this historical stain on humanity is primarily due to the stunningly reckless obliteration of America's foreign assistance agency earlier this year.

Led by the richest man on earth. In secret, on a weekend. With zero analysis or discussion of its catastrophic impacts.
