Today on the blog, it's a review of Fathomless Gears, which claims to be an eldritch mech fishing #TTRPG. Two things:

1) It's not a fishing game. It's a whaling game.

2) It's, allegedly, not intended to be a whaling game.

Full long, complicated review:

James Dobson can no longer do evil on earth, but we still live with his zombie: his network of "family policy council" lobbying groups

A crocheted keychain in progress that looks like a slice of watermelon

I’m making watermelon keychains! They’ll be $12, and $4 from each sale will go to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. I’ll have them at upcoming markets or you can dm to order 🍉

Without a shroud of doubt, I can offer the insight that sitting at @queeringsmite.bsky.social table was nothing short of a blast! An amazing storyteller and an amazing DM! Honestly, if you are going to check out Draw Steel, allow them to be your director, you won't regret it!
