a screenshot of the music video Planet of the Bass, it has a man in a white outfit and angel wings, a woman in a robe and a crown, the caption reads "Women are my favorite guy"

Interest in solo games is popping up more and more on my feed so here is a list of the ones I’ve designed and my personal favorites from other incredible, brilliant designers!

And then here's Heledir, an elven captain sent to help with a mission after the fall of Arnor. He tries to temper his desire to do more with his deep seated sense of duty, which ends up making him come off more aloof and cold than he actually feels

He's also a very pretty boy

I've got a couple of The One Ring home game characters:

There's Ilmr, a grumpy dwarf who sees much and says little. Survived the Smaug situation as a kid, became a warden, got PTSD from fighting in the wars between the Misty Mountain dwarves and the orcs, now travels with her human singer bff

How many installations of Marathon is a normal amount for one person to have? Asking for a friend

Can anyone point me to a resource on how sign "Long COVID" in American Sign Language? I've seen various ways from spelling it out, to using the sign for "Coronavirus" or "COVID-19" followed by "Long" or "Stay". I'm curious if there is any official guidance/recommendations. Many thanks 🙏

A comic drawn digitally with two panels. First panel has one black cat on the left asking a white cat on the right "so what do you do for a living?"

Second panel the white cat answered with a silly face "My best?"

Quick questions for TTRPG publishers that I’ve asked privately but it’s been a bit:

1. If a form of coverage (AP/review/other) has transformed your sales overnight, what was it?

2. If you could wave a wand & have one creator/creative/media outlet praise or play your TTRPG, what would you wish for?

Your emotional safety section should include suggestions for getting curious and inviting fellow players to explore heavier topics, instead of just "Don't do this, don't do that, here's the X card, if you're a bigot I hope you [insert violent fantasy here]"

The screenshot of the first paragraph of "Fascism In Play" appears to be going around again, so here's your reminder that it's the FIRST PARAGRAPH of a larger section on how fascism fits into VTM

And also, I wrote that shit. Stop giving credit to Mark Rein-Hagen/Justin Achilli/Jason Carl.

I play games almost exclusively at my desk, so I always read the PDF on desktop!

in the rare occasions I'm playing away from home, it's my laptop instead
