I really hate asking this, esp before the holiday, but I’m having an emergency. My filling broke and I have a painful abscess that needs immediate care. I don’t have dental insurance and could really use a hand. I’m so sorry to ask. I can barely eat or sleep. #mutualaid

Well, apparently youtube thinks the only genre I am interested in any more is "I Never Played Elden Ring But Then I Did?!"

I'm not sure which I've seen more of, that or its sub-genre, "I Made My Girlfriend (or Dad) Play Elden Ring."

Did I stealth drop my passion project, a collaborative world building game focused on players creating the stories people in the world would know?

Yes. Yes I did.

Can you get it for just $5?

Yes. Yes you can.

Oh neat, releasing a new video alongside the world building game I've spent a few years on is producing a pretty wild bit of anxiety. Neat.

People say the ending to Stranger Things could very possibly be "It was all an epic D&D game the whole time!"

I don't care about that being cliche or making sense. I'd be more concerned about Will, the DM, including several story-lines about people wanting to get freaky with his sister and mom...

It's funny...as a GM, I tend to prefer running games that aren't very focused on being deadly or gritty, as I'm always worried that I might "unfairly" kill a PC.

When I'm a player, I love a deadly game where my character's life is legitimately threatened a few times every session. And if I die?

This video talks about so much more than AI. It speaks to learning, kindness, and patience. A lot of us need to see this.
Are you sick of the constant discussion of AI? Me too, so I spent an entire year trying to find a solution to make AI optional. I hope you enjoy! youtu.be/R-edYoZZosg

New #ttrpg review day!

This time The Wildsea by @felixisaacs.bsky.social published by @mythworks.bsky.social

One of my favourite games for its weird, post-fall, eco fantasy setting and its stories of scrappy crews of misfits solving problems with whatever they have to hand.

Partner and I were watching Pluribus, and she was complaining about Carol, the main character, being "unrealistically" emotional. I reminded my partner that she tends to be a very level-headed, rational person, and to instead imagine me in that scenario.

She now agrees that Carol is realistic 😅

This is a pretty important video for this day and age. Not saying every point made is perfect, or that this shouldn't be critiqued or discussed. I think Jason himself would welcome that. But I also think he makes some points a lot of us need to hear and think on.

If the president can call reporters names, I don't see why a reporter hasn't risen to the challenge of just calling him President Petterass or Donny Dumpstain or whatever.

Go on. The White House said "you have to be able to take it," so see if he can take it. That turd loves nicknames.

Seriously, eat more beans! Your body will thank you.

You ever have those stretches of time where you are just way too overstimulated? Like, don't touch me, let's keep the number of different sounds to a minimum, and please don't mind me when I just buffer for 5 seconds at a time here and there.

When I decided to play Dispatch this morning I was ready for super powered antics and smooching. Was I was not ready for was the emotional gut punch delivered by the words "Try to keep up."

Let me tell you, I’m beyond stoked to finally be releasing IronFrame. I actually came up with the concept for it around a year ago, and this is the first game I’ve put together that’s not part of a jam!
So if you’re interested in a rules light but tactical mech TTRPG, you’re in luck!

I often listen to music while grocery shopping to keep from getting stressed about all the people (open ear, no worries, I'm not lookin' to be oblivious).

It's great, until I start dancing down the isles because a particularly catchy bop comes on. I will not be tethered when the beat comes for me.
