That’s awesome. Maybe that means we’ll be able to see it. Mina went looking for it to watch during the blizzard and it was nowhere to be found

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Thanks! I’ll alert the media ;)

Hey! We had a Harrow question and I thought I’d go to the source.

Are there Flavors in Harrow the way there are in Core Cypher? Can you be a Rover with a Combat flavor, etc?

I meant the pressure was on me… but I take your point :)

That sounds like the premise for an adventure… or maybe a horror story

Uh-oh. Pressure’s on now :)

I’m starting liveplay stream with @ZealZaddy on Monday! So excited! @7minutegm

Well… that sucks. I wonder if there’s some way to digitally watermark or otherwise obscure illegal copies. I know a PDF can be password protected…

Yes, it would be a great use for a bot. But it’s just fighting human greed with AI

That sucks and I’m sorry to hear it. Everyone wants quality entertainment. No one thinks entertainers* ought to be paid.

*- I consider you folks (and myself) entertainers. The projects we create entertain people. Yes, sometimes they do other stuff too, but so does the best of all entertainment

I misspoke. I don’t know if anybody cares or not — but no one seems to do anything about it. That’s your prerogative as a company, but seems like a weird choice to me. I also realize that your role may have nothing to do with this aspect of the business

My monthly post to Bluesky to say I’m not dead but there are too many flipping platforms, and now people want me to use Discord, Mastadon, and Moonbeam as well…

A genuine question — I can find PDFs and plain text copies of most MCG Cypher books on multiple sites free for the downloading. As far as I can tell, no one at MCG cares. How come? It seems to me that it’s just as big a copyright infringement as scraping — maybe moreso.

I can’t be both? 😎

I’m going to see her in Boston next week!

I wrote an adventure for 4-6 players using the Old Gods of Appalachia RPG (folk horror based on the Cypher System from @montecookgames.com). I’d be happy to run it again for you folks

About once a month I remember I have an account on here and I scramble to find all the people I want in my world on /this/ platform and post some blather about how annoying it is that I can’t find a single tool that posts to all my social media accounts

What? Too meta? Er…so to speak

I love the phrase “dopamine dressing” and I’m totally stealing it… even though it sounds like something I might have over mixed greens 😈

Saw Paul Simon in concert last night with @missminamurray.com I’ve seen him 3 times - each show so different.

On another note, I really want one place to post things that distributes to all my platforms. Does such a thing exist?

I’m assuming this isn’t the same Margaret Hamilton who played the Wicked Witch of the West…

A little mid-March snowfall. Technically not spring yet…

Came here to say this ;-)

I don't love the short form, so I put up a long review of a recent production of "Triumph of Love" at newman.dreamwidth.org/266026.html

Saw “Triumph of Love” at The Huntington. Enjoyed everything about it except the play… great acting, beautiful lighting, clever script—but the main character ruins a bunch of lives to get what she wants. Made me uncomfortable to think of her as a “hero”

Musk Xed that Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim had ties to organized crime. Within minutes, Slim canceled contracts with StarLink costing Musk $7B. He also announced a shift of a planned $22B over 5 years from Starlink to non-U.S. companies. www.msn.com/en-us/techno... Smooth move, X-lax.
