Sitting down to make an Official Thundercats TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Snarf" and writing "Halfling" next to it
Dynamite Games and Comics is adapting the 80s cartoon THUNDERCATS into a TTRPG.
Yes, it is a 5e conversion. Why do you ask? www.kickstarter.com/projects/toy...

I never got around to replacing my headphones so I've just been streaming music through my phone and bluetooth headphones while I work, like a caved man. Thinking of getting Dispatch though so it might be time to actually look into this
My last pair of headphones turned out to have a weak spot that breaks often (whoops) and now I need a new pair. What are the good options for over-ear headphones these days though

Today's Spelljammer session was good times. Did a whole battlemap for a slaver camp on the edge of a cliff for the sole purpose of letting the PCs sneak in invisibly and annihilate them. One of them waited for a guard to finish taking a leak off the side before shoving him, to be Polite

Great opportunity to invest early in wildly high concept RPG themed sci-fi but also in retail hell moments like this

Alright, here we go! Gonna toss up a new chapter every 30-60 minutes for a bit until I have a decent number up, but I decided to start on the day I run Spelljammer so apologies in advance if I don't stick to that exactly

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

Realtalk though: I've been debating whether to delay posting this fiction by a week. The point of the experiment was to set up a Patreon, but I needed to ask support to switch me to the monthly model first, and the date I requested was Monday. If it doesn't happen today I'm screwed for the weekend

Pondering which of my TTRPG ideas to plan after my current upcoming projects, and pondering the superhero RPG where a bunch of borders/nations have changed because some of the first people to get superpowers immediately did things to powerful people that you'd get in trouble for posting

Guess what I'm doing in less than 24 hours. That's right: getting shot in an alleyway by a cancer and getting reborn as a side character in a weirdly horny fantasy novel I've been reading—wait, no, wrong week of my calendar

[supposed to be releasing a big fiction project in a few days] If a shopping mall was divided into three big sections with holes in the middle what would you call them. Concourses or plazas or just regions or something

Bond has already battled against another version of himself in Epic Rap Battles of History and people there come back from the dead all the time. I don't see the problem.
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

World of Warcraft is doing a rerun event for the Legion expansion but I don't think it can fully recreate my Legion experience (doing an Antorus raid with a streamer friend whose guildmates apparently needed multiple reminders not to shout slurs "ironically")
