Warmanda 40K

Kharne gra-Azada, a middle-aged Orsimer (orc) with medium-light skin tone, brown wavy hair, blue eyes, and ceremonial face and body tattoos. She wears animal furs and leathers.

Khavar gra-Yagash, a young Orsimer (orc) with warm, medium-toned skin, blue eyes, a deep facial scar across her left cheek, red hair worn in a braid, and a basic leather jerkin with gold accents.

Urszula Larouche, a young Orsimer (orc) with dark, greyish-green skin, hazel eyes, and strawberry blonde-ish hair tied up in a braided crown. She wears light blue robes lined with fur.

I've been so exhausted from work that I've neglected #Orctober so:

AMA about my ESO Orc OCs: Kharne gra-Azada, Khavar gra-Yagash, and Urszula Larouche

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

Bluebeard's Bride game themed around early-mid Aughts emo and alternative music.

Been listening to a playlist, and yeah, on top of real life stories of how many abusers were in the scene, I never realized how many lyrics and songs use symbolism of the tragic death of a beautiful young woman.

If you crochet or knit and want a place to send baby scarves, blankets, and other accessories...please reach out to me and I can send you some details on donating to Honey Bunches of Hope. I will probably send something out...in a few weeks for the formal kick-off of the drive.

If you are employed & doing pretty fine right now, set aside some money from each paycheck to dedicate to mutual aid asks. Even just $20.

Shit is really bad, the social safety net is being shredded, & truly TRULY all we have is each other right now.

HAVING SAID ALL THAT,

I do want to point out the treatment that Chicago is getting compared to Portland.

Like really sit in it and think about the difference in treatments that the city of Chicago is getting compared to Portland.

What could be the difference, I wonder - hmmmmm.

God it's so cool how this guy is one of the most influential and powerful people on earth

Just so we all know. I have until the 13th to vacate my current home and nowhere to go lined up. So, if you have good energy to spare I need it because I really don’t know what I’m going to do.

Thank you for those who helped!! Was able to grab a lunch and stock up on cat food for Milo!! 💜💜💜

Once wrote a paper on the role of the house wife in sci-fi through a feminist lens comparing the struggles of Sarah Connor to the Stepford Wives on nothing but spite and coffee 5 hours before it was due.

A small ad for a small TTRPG. The name of the game, AVERT!, is displayed in large text next to a logo of a stylized eye inside two circles. Below, explanatory text reads: "a bookmark game about mutual accountability and hexing your friends".

Who's excited for spooky season? 🎃✋

Who's also struggling with SAD and and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer number of small tasks to juggle every day? ✋✋

If you're interested in a tiny game that encourages mutual accountability through hexing your friends, keep a sharp eye out here next week... 👀

"They put her in hand shackles and in leg shackles, and around the waist as well, like she's some hardened criminal. She had tears streaming down her face, and she told me one of the ICE agents pulled out his cell phone, laughing, and took a selfie."

I'd recommend picking up anything you've had yours eyes on, but here's some specific, recent indie press story collections I've loved:

I was made a mentor at work (without me even signing up for that program) AND got an email confirming I'm in the shortlist for the full time project with regular M-F hours (assuming I can pass the training test)

much of the culture in AAA development and its indignities has been justified by a mandate of excellence; that _____ you had to suffer was the price of greatness, and maybe you just couldn't cut it.

stuff like this, combined w financial implosion from overleveraged scale, shatters that illusion

I am also looking for 3 DMs to send a free copy of MMM as a gift if they want to try running it for their group. MMM is a cooking ttrpg. The offer comes with a pre-game q&a session with said DM to answer any questions or give them any advice. If you are interested plz email honeyanddice@gmail.com

SPITE AS FUEL.

Abolish. Fire. Prosecute.

The front cover of Gallows Corner - A Peasants' Revolt RPG. A gallows and noose are silhouetted against a full moon. An ornate border of thorns and brambles extends around the edge of the cover.

Gallows Corner is the next game from Three Sails Studios after the success of Mappa Mundi, our debut release.

But what IS Gallows Corner? What is a Peasants' Revolt RPG? This week, you'll find out. Today, we're talking setting!

Photo of multiple beetle and fish inspired creature figurines on a table. They are painted with various colors and patterns inspired by Halloween, things such as Jack o lanterns and skeletons

"Mary Shelley's Frankenstein but literally everyone is trans" is something I didn't know I needed until now.

A portrait of Ipomoea resting against a bush of ipomoea flowers. Her hair is spread across the blooms and the leaves, and her left hand gently touches a flower close to the shoulder. Ipomoea is a blue tiefling with gem horns, and long, wavy white hair that sparkles in the shadow. Her eyes have a dark sclera with a white iris. Three small stars shine between the horns.

A portrait of Thalia surrounded by a magnolia tree's blooms, with her hair hanging from some of the branches.

I know a lot of people really really do not want to have to care about the Jay Madness Discourse.

But it is actually a really bad thing that the CEO of the platform we all decamped to because Elon got transphobic mod madness...

...is now doing transphobic mod madness.

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

It's actually insane that the dumbest clownasses in the world can say whatever they want about marginalized people unchecked, but if we dare to write “this guy is a loser and a fucking idiot” without a citation to a legal definition of him being a loser and a fucking idiot, we risk losing our jobs.

Amanda holding a library hardcover copy of Our Hideous Progeny by C.E. McGill. The cover of the book has a black background, and the title framed by scientific ephemera of bone, fossil, and botanical illustrations. Below the title is a reptilian eye peering from the shadows.

I'm convinced this book was written specifically for me

I can’t begin to tell you how damaging “the world isn’t fair, get used to it” line has been to every child’s psyche growing up and therefore has led to a world that stays unfair. If we teach children to get used to an unfair world, we are destroying the possibility of a better world.

Steam Curator: Dominic Tarason's Opinionation Station Info-tags aside (for listing stuff) this is 100% personal recommendations on games I've played. Expect a lot of weird, indie, undersold or otherwise mysterious stuff, plus the occasional mainstream fa...

My curator page is very nearly up to 700 games, almost all recommendations, and a great way to find stuff in the sales!.

As always, I recommend switching to the Discounts filter and scrolling down. It's ranked by revenue, so the deeper you go, the more indie/obscure. Deep cuts await there.
