New Save Collective plans to continue holding future events and organizing gamers. The fight for these communities online is far from over. “Gaming wasn't kind of a random genre that we chose,” says Siggelkow. “We've been tracking anti-immigrant myths and disinformation digitally for years. We really grounded this campaign in a lot of data and research. This really is a space that is critical for immigration narrative.”

I spoke with people role-playing ICE raids in video games to help educate people on their rights and what to do in real-life situations. Tonight, they're holding an event in Fortnite www.wired.com/story/activi...

Haha! Feels more like new internal theme songs. But I’m also running Curse of Strahd on StartPlaying, re-examining some of the more problematic themes, and this is perfect for game prep.

I feel like Bluesky is how I always learn there's a new Florence + the Machine album. I've been listening to so many songs from this on repeat since I saw your post. 😭

What a compliment! So multifaceted. 🥹

I would like to play this game!

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I think what we’re learning from the new Frankenstein is that almost no one responsible for writing about the new Frankenstein has ever read Frankenstein.

Ran session 1 of this campaign on Halloween. Really loving it. The Fateweaving system is so much fun!

Oh yes! D&D Live was so fun but also a blur because I had a six-month-old at home. 😴

It is! Definitely recommend checking out their Discord. They have a monthly game jam with an amazing amount of resources and support. I signed up to play in a game later this month too if you want to roll dice with me again.

Have you played it yet? They have a great Discord community with some organized play.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

I second the new starter set. G(6) played a session with a 10-year-old and her dad and they had a lot of fun!

QT with your weekend plans.

@thejenya.bsky.social did such a great job with logo. I do think we have a bunch of t-shirts left though that will need to find homes before the house sells. 👀

I don’t even think I have one of those anymore! 🌹 💀 🌹

An absolute joy to have worked on this project!

I recently parted ways with a new-ish client over them accusing me of using AI. After 20 years of writing including a trilogy that sold international rights, a movie novelization, a non-fiction licensed IP book, & countless games, I’m not willing to risk my career over one flippant remark like that.

There’s also less traits generally and a few other smaller changes that makes the stat blocks easier to read and manage in combat. Smaller battles have been very quick for me.
