We were developing vaccines for cancer and HIV and they canceled that extremely promising research because they hate people and don’t care if we die

Thieves Target Tennessee National Guard Facilities, Stealing Night Vision Googles and More A string of US armory break-ins, kept quiet by authorities for months, points to a growing security crisis—and signs of an inside job.

Hello journalists. If you report this you gotta say that under the Constitution he has no power to do it. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

a fun way social media platform discourse mirrors our economic conditions is this bizarre conviction that the only way for anything ever to survive in a worthwhile form is infinite and uninterrupted expansion

The billionaire CEO of the third richest company on the planet gives the President an actual block of gold so his company is exempted from US Government tariffs. And the whole thing is broadcast live on TV.

Anyone who can't see what is happening to this country is unsalvageable at this point.

Yeah, the funniest part of this framing is having this piece go national at the same time that Daggerheart and MCDM are holding hands and just fucking BODYING “the world’s most popular role-playing game” from FLGS to GenCon, poaching WOTC leads (DP) & setting new standards for best practices (MCDM)

Ergot is fascinating. It has been plaguing humanity at least since the dawn of agriculture. The oldest sclerotium was discovered on a grass floret encased in amber from the early-mid Cretaceous period, somewhere around 100 million years ago.

This is the thing, and I’m not being provocative either, and I’m certainly not smug.

Democracy can’t coexist with a brainwashing infotainment system so effective that it can keep folks who experienced *this* voting for more of the same.

Thermostatic politics is broken, and that’s ominous as hell.

Nice to see Ludocene out in the wild. If it serves up my 'expert' card, adding it to your search will serve up loads of detective and mystery games I've enjoyed. Hey, I'll take any chance I get to push The Centennial Case.

The years of ink spilled to create the idea of Console Wars is primed to be churned through the AI slop generator and slightly rebranded into an all new, somehow worse thing.

Cover of The Great Thaw of Gryzmithrak Spire, an independent Draw Steel adventure.

The dragon, Ahskoor'ka breathes out a torrent of fire as she destroys her icy prison. The bright orange fire spilling from her mouth and her bright red scales stand in contrast to the glowing turqoise ice melting behind her.

What better way to celebrate Draw Steel's official release than to distribute our first 3rd party Draw Steel adventure?

"The Great Thaw of Gryzmithrak Spire" was sent to our Crowdfundr backers yesterday and the public release is in about 1 week!

Dungeons & Disableds A tabletop Role-Playing Actual-Play Show where a bunch of nerdy disabled players sit at a virtual table and play Dungeons and Dragons with our Dungeon Master, Steve Saylor.

I need you to do me a favour.

I have a show called Dungeons & Disableds, a TTRPG Show with disabled players playing disabled characters and telling great stories.

If this appeals to you in the slightest, it would be so appreciated if you could subscribe to the show.
