Ballads and role-playing are two of my eternal interests, which means I am overjoyed that @pelgranepress.bsky.social is about to launch a fantastic game called “Ballad Hunters”: www.kickstarter.com/projects/pel...

It's insufficient and tacky af, but it's a start. Go ye thereforth, etc. etc. etc.
To go from “I made this viral diorama” to “I should clarify somebody else made this viral diorama” to “I hear it’s AI but it’s still funny” is honestly hilarious
Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg
Seth Green killed an industry in a way that @youknowlydia.bsky.social finds hilarious. It was an industry that needed to die so we made her article FREE. 1900hotdog.com/2026/03/nerd...

Interesting, well-considered thread on the state of social media.
how many times did I tell you not to stage darkly ironic public celebrations of capitalism, fuckn of course the Joker showed up
The book hits you in the first words, the dedication ("to my nazi friends") and never lets up.
THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS 1933-45
Post WW2, ten ordinary Germans living in a university town tell the author how they became Nazis, and what life under the Nazi regime was like for them. An extraordinary book that I highly recommend to everyone.
