How do you find time to stay active in midlife?

Me: I mostly put necessary items down in random locations and then spend two hours running around the house trying to find them so I can leave on time.*

* mostly on time
*20 minutes late
*tomorrow

That's AD&D 2e. The first edition AD&D, especially the writing, can be divisive.

I discovered that Hemingway literally had rich uncle who supported him looong time after he became famous.

I feel at this point, any con panel about breaking into the biz, should have the speakers confess what their day jobs are.

The word is OUT #TTRPG! I can finally say that I've been working on a fourth edition of Mutants & Masterminds and that an "Origin" playtest edition is releasing in PDF and a limited print run at the end of the month for Gen Con! Stay tuned to @greenroninpub.bsky.social and to M&M Monday for more!

It was a beautifully surreal day. Sometimes my life and job are so wonderfully weird.

This has to be top 5: β€œMystery Flesh Pit National Park” by @ganzagaming.bsky.social – Imagine being a park ranger in a park that is a massive underground single living organism from space. You try to keep people alive, not get lost in mucosal folds, and make sure everybody gets nice family photos.

If you can make bullet points, you can make a list. If you can make a list, you can make a list with 6, 8, 10, 12, or 20 items.
If you can make those kind of lists, you can make a table.

When I was 23, I was working in a medical(ish) setting, and I mentioned something about a pine marten in a casual conversation. One of my co-workers interrupted me to tell me that it wasn't a real thing. The entire circle of co-workers agreed that I made it up to fuck around. There's a lesson there.

This is a iconic ttrpg story. If you haven't heard it before, give yourself a treat!

Polygon Sold To Valnet And Hit With Mass Layoffs One of the biggest gaming sites around was just blown up

This is absolutely horrifying. Horrifying. Scoop up these great reporters -- more mainstream outlets would benefit from games industry coverage from experts. kotaku.com/polygon-sold...

To AI shills & capitalist institutions, writers are simultaneously not important enough to compensate while alive and so important once dead that their machine-ghosts must be resurrected to continue the work of profit-making. Vile.

Even if they hadn't laid off anyone, ttrpg/board game coverage always dies after a merger.
The new boss looks at the number of views/comments from that coverage vs video games and then pull the plug on coverage.

Those winged monsters always fascinated me more than the rest of the film. I think the movie implies they allied with the hero because they worship hawks.

I am more excited for this season. Season 3 sort of felt similar and nihilistic to me. YMMV and no judgement if you enjoyed the last season.

Visit Qedhup's Shop! I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

New major playtest version of Voidhome using the Cypher System by @montecookgames.com is up, as well as a new adventure as part of the package. Some sections have started to see some editing, but much of it is still fairly raw text. Pre-gen Characters and form-fillable sheets coming soon as well.
