Selling armoured vehicles to ICE, israeli police, but canada not concerned about their use in human rights violations because it's just business as usual.

The Land of Eem Deluxe is such a ridiculously heavy boxed set. We had to figure out how to even be able to ship a parcel weighing over 7kg (15 lbs) without charging freight prices πŸ˜†

I still hear people talking about how good AI is for prompting creativity and helping with ideation.

This comes from a highly uninformed position on the topic of creativity.

Here we go. 🧡

Creativity isn’t about quantity of ideas. However, creative folks do tend to have more sparks of ideas. But..

Skeletown, Purgatory by Evey Lockhart A level 3 Sisters of Moonlight Remembered Dungeon for Simple DeeEnDee

the skeletons of Skeletown would frown if they could. There are those too busy to breathe and those too idle to feel alive and none at all feel good.

Can you find the unlikely exit to Skeletown before the citizens see all your meat and proceed to rend it from your bones?

Not on social media because they
a) are living everyone's dream of being offline in a remote yet cozy castle;
b) quit game design and are into model trains now;
c) are laying low, waiting to resurface Γ  la some disgraced stand up comedian;
d) are in a witness protection program.
The search continues

That moment when you're filling the tabs for a new game in your shop but it's out of stock everywhere so you need to go sleuth around the Internet for a while to see if the author's done something terrible or the thing is just out of print and you can continue with your work πŸ§πŸ”Ž

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

A lot of people love the DIY aspect of creating things and cost/benefit analysis comes second, if at all. The article is unclear on what it's trying to communicate and I'm also increasingly feeling like we're talking past each other, and not really understanding what the other person is saying. :/

DTRPG is probably not the only place those folks were selling their physical copies at, but just another online storefront? At least that's the case with all the people interviewed and likely for whom the program was designed for? If Selling only through DTRPG, then POD is the better option, yes.

Most folx do not do offset tho because it's too expensive and there's no guarantee that they'll ever sell 1000+ copies of their book. They do smaller runs that they can store in their closet.
Which is why the article reads so weird.

30.11.2025 16:20 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

To be fair, using "offset printing", a printing technique, throughout the article as an all-catch term for anything that's not POD is rather confusing.

Your comments should really be incorporated into the article as they add clarity and show the bigger picture.

A very confusing article tbh. From not establishing what exactly DTRPGs' program is in the first place, to labeling an alternative to POD as "offset printing". Explaining the difference between wholesalers, distributors, and retailers and how it all usually works would add clarity as well.

Vagabonds are rent-a-cops of dubious morality, shifting their loyalty between colonizers, fascists, and vanguard terrorist militia. Unless you were playing against all of them, creating your own faction, which is a no-no if you followed the rulebook.

Whenever someone mentions Root the RPG, the question of whether anyone ever tried to play that game comes to mind.
Because, if there's one game whose tagline should be "Oops, all cops", that's the one.
