Jo'lal to some

I wrote some more lore for Red Dragon Inn 10. This features the villain of the set (previously seen in Battle for Greyport), Dark Priestess Valeria!

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies.

Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

Against a background of cardboard boxes, the text reads [Green Ronin Logo] vs. [Diamond Comic Distributors Inc Logo] WE WANT OUR STUFF BACK (Here's how you can help!)

Our lawyer went through point by point saying (in legalese), “This is bullshit and here’s why.” [more details at link]

Created for Peculiar Path Inc.; A painting of a cluster of boats and ships in front of an oil rig; the centermost ship is an aircraft carrier; all have been converted into solarpunk living spaces with visible gardening and retrofitted elements. The sea is calm, the sky is blue with big fluffy clouds, it feels peaceful and hopeful and vibrant.

Created for Numizmatic Games. A sheet of black and white line and tone drawings of pieces of landforms, ready to beincorporated into a procedural environent kit; all variations on layered desert rock structures; several are fully cleaned up, the rest are a little sketchier.

Created for Chaosium. A black and white inked and toned lineup of five Gloranthan adventurers, wearing bronze age outfits and armor inspired by etruscan, scythian and sumerian clothing and technology. There are three men, alla bout the same height, with beards and long hair, and two women, one shorter in scaled maille with a braid, and one taller, in religious dress, with full etruscan hairstyle including crimped curls and a headband. All have tattoos showing gloranthan runes.

Created for Hit Point Press. A digital painting of a strange goat-like creature with needles for feet and a visibly bad attitude, leaping towards the viewer, in a landscape of strange precarious stacks of stone. Behind it, a dusk sky with a bright moon, giving it a dramatic rim light.

A photograph of four wooden drawers, all open so you can see a little of each, holding colour-sorted soft pastel sticks.

This past weekend I put together a post of things I've learned about soft pastels since getting back into them: www.portablecity.net/soft-pastel-...

I stand by the fact that Margaret Atwood wrote a children’s book where the splash page had the wrong names for the characters.

If it happens to Atwood, it is forgivable in others! 😁

How many goals do you think that Calle Jarnkrok will score this year? Is he going to hit thirty to make up for last year not hitting 15?

Boldly Go! Somewhere in Time is dropping on October 21, 2025!

Check out this longish post where I talk about the chamzeen, one of the time traveling factions you can join!

www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=1...

On the eve of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Pierre Poilievre spoke out for the group he says faces the most hate-based violence.

Um, and apparently that group is…Christians? (It isn’t).

I called for backup on this one. Luckily @pampalmater.com answered:

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

You can’t really discuss the value of GenAI without recognizing its huge contribution to the field of “looking busy”. It is possibly the greatest tool ever created to help people do things that resemble useful work since github introduced metrics for lines of code.

Good news, everyone!

I'll be publishing Boldly Go! Somewhere in Time on Back to the Future Day (October 21, 2025).

Over the next few days, I'll be posting some more information about what's in Somewhere in Time and how you can use it to run time travel adventures in your Boldly Go! games!

How do you celebrate a podcast's 10th anniversary?

Hey authors, the official list of Anthropic works is available for searching.

We’re lining up all the things for the launch, and it’s going to be cool. Also hard and sharp and agro and weird.

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

These guys have watched clips of "Patton" too many times.

"I just watched the part where he jumps out when the planes are there and starts shooting a lot!"

Missed this and didn’t comment! Blue Rose went back to 5th edition. The Age version is like any other kind of crunchy system. Didn’t do anything particularly interesting with the rule set.

We stopped playing because it is such not the type of game that I run and my campaign was a better novel.

It is! Will call with a big steaming bowl of potato and cheddar soup!
