Listen, I know it's probably far below the bar of puppetry you're looking for, but honestly, ONE puppet should be a simple sock puppet. With the googliest of eyes!

Well, this looks like a fun time!

You should continue to not accept unsolicited advice on this app!

It's true, not every D&D (or any TTRPG) campaign needs to devote tons of energy towards wrapping up every player character's personal story.

We can tell amazing stories about the group's adventures right in front of us without veering off into a deep dive of one character's background.

This is a take I can 100% get behind. I'll try to make some contributions!

I’m truly so proud of this and the work the entire Draw Steel team did. It’s rare to be given both the opportunity and the freedom to take big swings like this, and @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social, @hellomcdm.bsky.social, and @mattcolville.bsky.social made it possible.

So, so proud of what we made.

COUNTERPOINT:

You DON'T hate it. Did you ever consider THAT?!

Check and also checkers.

4sho!

I was run pretty ragged over the Con, but I wish I'd have had the wherewithal to realize you were probably definitely there and made the effort to say hello.

A group of people playing the TTRPG "Shadowrun: Anarchy" (a fast and loose version of the notoriously rules-heavy cyberpunk TTRPG) on a stage at Gen Con. The image is focused on two people, B. Dave Walters (a popular Actual Play actor) and Rem Alternis (media manager for Catalyst Game Labs).

Watching one of my dearest friends ( @remalternis.bsky.social ) GMing for the man @bdavewalters.bsky.social is a fkn treat and a half!

An image of a section of the Indianapolis Convention Center where people are building very large structures made out of playing cards from various trading card games (such as Magic the Gathering).

Every year they build this whole card city and then hold a raffle for one winner to knock them all down. For charity. This is only day 2, 2 days to go.

Totes totes?!

A picture of the TTRPG rulebook for "Ea Ltd the Reich," an independent TTRPG where you play a squad of vampire commandos on a mission to kill Hitler. The cover features the title in stylish, pink font, and a cut out box to see the page beneath it, which is the image of a crazed face staring wide-eyed out of the box.

I only bought one game today, AREN'T YOU PROUD?!!

An hour from Indy and passed a vanity plate that said "LICH."

Think they are going to #GenCon?

An image of Palantir CEO Alexander Carp in front of several United States flags over a headline from some internet "media outlet." This chud has unkempt curly gray hair, rimless glasses, and a smug expression. The headline reads: "Tech giant Palantir helps US government monitor its citizens. Its CEO wants Silicon Valley to find its m..."

Why does Alex Carp look like the Wish version of Taika Waititi?

I need to find some time to roll with ya'll!

A title logo for "Beyond the Stellar Veil," a Dungeons and Dragons actual play on twitch. The logo features the title in bold over a stylized ball of "dark energy" emanating bands of purple energy.

We're on www.twitch.tv/dndenial tonight for our #DnD #ActualPlay

After learning our little energy friend is the key to saving all creation from the void aberrations, we decide to meet Samanthar'ra's parents before we go save the universe.

Come say hi!

An independent TTRPG, "The Cunning Folk," sits 9n a sofa cushion. The blue/gray sofa is missing it's legs and set flush on a patterned rug.

Did the Cunning Folk take all the legs off my furniture for letting this book sit in my mailbox for too long?

@emilygreymoore.bsky.social this is a lovely lil' book! It's elegantly simple and the artwork is adorably whimsical. 10/10.

I appreciate the specificity of your alt text.

My Hot Take:

"When you see that someone uses AI, you need to take a deep breath and hit pause on your rage."

AI includes many things that aren't generative AI, I.E. Midjourney or ChatGPT.

Figure out what it is, first.

If it turns out to be the bad AI, then by all means RAGE AWAY.

I'll join you.

A quote attributed to the director of "Dying Light: The Beast." It is not attributed by name. The quote is: "If I start playing Assassin's Creed Shadows, I know I will never finish it."

I can empathize.

I finished "AC: Shadows" and feel like I still haven't finished "AC: Shadows."

At the end, I felt like I just only completed the 2d act, with a whole underlying plot left unfinished.

But that's on me for playing an Ubisoft game.

A meme image in two panels, one over the other. The top panel is a man wearing a white T-Shirt lying in bed, presumably in a hotel room. He has a landline phone with the receiver to his ear. There is a dialogue box and he says, "Hi! I'd like a wake up call." The lower panel is a woman with medium length blonde hair wearing casual professional attire. She is sitting at a desk, presumably the reception desk at the hotel the man is staying in. She also has a phone receiver to her ear and a text box where she responds to the man's request by saying, "You have waaaaaay too many board games."

Some of ya'll need to keep this in mind next week at Gen Con.

Also, "Some of ya'll" is me.

It's absolutely ridiculous!

An image featuring the cast of players from "Beyond the Stellar Veil" DnD Actual Play. From left to right: Jess is femme presenting with long brown hair, bangs, glasses and red lipstick, blowing a kiss towards the camera. David is masc presenting, smiling as he looks directly at the camera. He has short hair and a short beard and mustache. Katie is femme presenting with long red hair pulled back from her face and cascading in waves down her shoulders. Danny is masc presenting with a long white goatee and brown mustache, short hair and he is looking up and to his left.

An image featuring the characters from the "Beyond the Stellar Veil" actual play, relative to the players in the other image on this post. From left to right: Samanthar'ra is a goliath gunner and the ship's muscle. Kessel is a plasmoid druid and cleric who is the ship's navigator. Guilia is a tiefling bard along for the ride. The Captain is the captain of the Rascal's Rose, taking everyone on this crazy ride.

The Rascal's Rose is off again after laying low on Tumblelock for a few days. By laying low, I mean we made a lot of noise and invited the Void to chase us across the galaxy.

But as The Captain says, "It'll be fine. It's ALWAYS fine!"

Whoa. Them's fightin' words.

If you're using WeTransfer, you'll want to read this.

Has it really been THREE YEARS since #BlackPink was in my area?

The new song is fkn bonkers. And the timing is kind of impeccable.

My 9th grade English teacher brought this in and showed us "Romeo and Juliet" (1968) and told us to behave during the scene with nudity. Before the movie started. The class acted wilder during the announcement than when it happened...but still weird for a teacher to show a film with nudity in it...

Already seen it twice. I still get excited when I see Korean representation in popular media and this was a such a treat.
