An infographic with a pale background. Black text reads "Science & Sorcery's messages"

Four information boxes include the following:
A blue box with a raised fist icon. "Empowerment through STEM. Understanding the world through science is a joyful and empowering experience."

A green box with a positive/negative icon. "Science is not neutral. It influences and is influenced by a wide variety of social, historical, political and cultural factors"

A yellow box with an icon of our planet. "Recognising the flaws. The world we live in is deeply flawed in terms of humanity's treatment of power, wealth, the planet and each other."

An orange box with a lightbulb icon. "Building a better future. By imagining new worlds we can identify problems, solutions and alternatives that we can transfer into reality through our actions."

Been a little quiet over here at S&S HQ as we've been taking some time to rest & recuperate.

Some news!

Going forward @samsighs.bsky.social is stepping back from the team, and you can find him mostly over at @whohurtyouap.bsky.social telling sad stories.

We wish him all the best for the future.

In this one-shot Sam and Khalil play two brothers, one infected and one not, and their final days together.

It is a stunning game.

You can make fair dice from any shape you like Want to roll an armadillo when you play Dungeons & Dragons, instead of standard dice? Now you can, thanks to a technique for mapping the probabilities produced by any shape

HUGE news for TTRPG players - researchers have developed a technique to make anything into fair dice. What's more, you can make exotic combinations like a single die that rolls the equivalent of 2d6. I would love a honking great 8d6 for D&D fireball damage... www.newscientist.com/article/2482...
