As soon as you mention you use AI, I just assume you’re a fucking liar.

A few times now, someone has emailed me and opened by telling me how much they enjoyed my Starforged run, including specific story details from the AP.

They then go on to try and get me to endorse some horseshit AI thing.

I can only then assume the opening was a lie, fished from some AI summary.

πŸ”ˆπŸ”ˆ Roll call! Looking for folks who are…

– attending #UKGE 2026
– comfortable standing under the umbrella of β€˜woman’ (however you choose to define it)
– creatives who have been negatively impacted by AI
– interested in sharing these experiences in public

BIPOC/BAME women prioritised, as always.

Public Access - RPG Actual Play - YouTube Our Actual Play of the very nearly complete - if as yet unreleased - second edition of Public Access by Jason Cordova

We’re kickstarting a brand-new edition of Public Access (maybe you’ve heard of it) on March 17th!

I ran a full campaign of the new edition on @thebadspot.bsky.social YT channel. It’s a great watchβ€”and a great way to learn the game!

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Thank you email for joining the Green Party

Just joined UK’s Green Party for a few reasons. Starmer himself suggested ppl like me leave the Labour Party when he assumed leadership. Request granted. But the Greens’ recent success & polling (and more importantly their policy goals!) show them to be robust & viable.
