Do not displease him, the Sunflower Lord. Those befuddled few who are escorted to his root cellar dungeon never return. Though sometimes - in their nightmares - his subjects find their screams.

The Sunflower Lord looks *exactly* like your grandmother. He smiles with her chubby cheeks and well-worn teeth and wears a golden crown of fragile petals. He spits, on occasion, into a chalice you never quite see inside of, but speaks sweetly and asks after your mother. His kindly advice is decree.

Love for the Love Gods "Cabin in the Wood" but for Hallmark Movies, a tabletop roleplaying game!

It is LAST 48 HOURS for #LoveForTheLoveGods! It's just me behind the curtain over here at Love Gods HQ. ANY support and sharing is deeply appreciated! 💗💛💙🙏

hard 75? i’m doing soft 365 where i try to be my best self most days, even if some days i don’t try much at all, and it’s all okay and at the end of the year it all feels a bit lighter and i get to experience having extended and received kindness in equal measure

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.

My favorite thing about this is that there's no explanation or "hear me out" of it all, simply immaculate vibes. A crush vision board, if you will.

The first sleep at home after a convention absolutely slaps.

A screenshot of PayPal's terms of service. Big wall of legalese text, which I will be pasting in below. You don't need to read it, here's the important part: "The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop." Here's the whole paragraph: We are updating our Privacy Statement to explain how, starting early Summer 2025, we will share information to help improve your shopping experience and make it more personalized for you. The key update to the Privacy Statement explains how we will share information with merchants to personalize your shopping experience and recommend our services to you. Personal information we disclose includes, for example, products, preferences, sizes, and styles we think you’ll like. Information gathered about you after the effective date of our updated Privacy Statement, November 27, 2024, will be shared with participating stores where you shop, unless you live in California, North Dakota, or Vermont. For PayPal customers in California, North Dakota, or Vermont, we’ll only share your information with those merchants if you tell us to do so. No matter where you live, you’ll always be able to exercise your right to opt out of this data sharing by updating your preference settings in your account under “Data and Privacy.”

In 2025 (less than 30 days away), PayPal will start selling your transaction history for targeted advertising.

I very highly recommend logging into your account and going to Settings > Data & Privacy > Personalized Shopping.

If you're reading this, turn that off RIGHT NOW before you forget.

A little behind, but I've been absolutely **LOVING** what I've seen of this series.

What methods do you use to teach storytelling? Do you do this as part of gameplay or outside of it?

Between reading The Beauty of Games and my recent interest in sports, I had a lightbulb moment last night that actual-play is just TTRPG sports.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

hey not to be all corny but please understand and internalize that your creative work is vital and beautiful whether others see/hear it or not and that your creative expression enriches the world just by your having done it

LOVE FOR THE LOVE GODS
"Cabin in the Wood" but for Hallmark Movies.
Ever wonder why all those TV specials are so formulaic? Well there's a reason for that! A huge, cosmic, reality-shattering reason!
The Love Gods demand Love! And only you can maintain the ritual!

YouTube video by Quinns Quest Quinns Quest Reviews: There's a Skating RPG, and it's a Masterpiece

Y'all, the most joyous ending to Quinns Quest just dropped. This review of @wilkiescandylab.com's Slugblaster is the cherry on top of a great season of role-playing journalism. It's a game that is close to my age old, teenage heart, that deserves all the attention it can get.

I'm the Rip Van Winkle of microblogging and not sure how much I'll post. BUT I'll be at PaxU, so maybe we'll meet there!

For GenCon I made a grungy little zine about the games I'd played in 2024 but bailed when it came to actually handing it over to new friends. Want one?
