Oh, I was bitten by a radioactive ttrpg when I was younger.

A color character sheet of a Shell destroyer. It looks like, ah, a shell. There are locations, hit points, and a little bestiary entry for a squidlike boarding robot.

Boundless Space: Making the scary monsters of the Eridani Belt today. I'm thinking that space combat will be much like normal conflict in Boundless, but with the addition of vast space ranges, multiple actions for a crewed ship, and of course, torpedoes and boarding!

the machine does not know what it is doing to you

the machine does not know what you are using it for

the machine does not know who you are

the machine does not understand you

the machine can only say what you want to hear

the machine is controlled by men willing to risk your children's lives

this is how we destroy ourselves
narcissus and icarus in one, agreeing ourselves to death

Sitting on the patio writing for my campaigns & home-brewing new player options, it doesn't get more delicious than that.

The increase of ai generated content from creators is getting ridiculous...I don't care if you had a funny idea for a political meme.

Don't. Use. Generative. AI.

It's not funny.

Gee whizz! My article on Twilight 2000 in the Journal of American studies is now the most read piece over the last 3 months, despite it only being available for a couple of weeks. That's kind of terrifying! Thanks so much to everyone who's taken the time to engage with it!

I cannot BELIEVE this episode is out in the world this week.

Sincerely jealous of everyone getting to experience it for the first time.

We all agree this is maybe our best episode yet. Also definitely the ugliest sobbing Rosalind has ever done.

Words can't say how proud I am of this tale.

do yourself a kindness: check out The Blood Orchard, compatible with His Majesty the Worm & PWYW!

like everything @tofurevolution.bsky.social makes, it's dripping with creativity, gross (!) new critters, & gorgeous art

it also has a *top notch* vampire (move over, Strahd)

I tried once in HS & couldn't get through the first book.

Now I'm nearing the end of book 2 & glad I gave it another shot. It is definitely picking up, & I think the visual/design & casting choices of the TV series help me get past some of the meh aspects of WoT world building/imagining.

Still in the hospital. No idea when I'm getting out. Additional surgery done, that was fun.
