Dante has a specific section of Hell for people who commit crimes on behalf of a monarch (the pope) knowing the monarch has promised in advance to pardon them.

Congratulations to you and your wife! I hope you two share the best of each other and stay strong through the worst the world throws at you.

If I can ask, did you do anything particularly crazy or have any standout moments you would care to share here?

Imagine how much more interesting things would be if American Classics had titles like:

"Gatsby of the Mortal Desire"

"Rabbit-Slaying Hermit of the Endless Journey"

"Trickster Finn of the Huckleberry Grove"

or "Waylaid Mockingbird of the Youngest Innocence"?

It may just be me, but I am infatuated with the honorific titles of the Stars of Destiny in this story.

Little Unrestrained, Flowery Wreath Tiger, the Divine Mathetician, Eight-Armed Nezha?

I WISH the American classics gave their characters names like this!

I have been designing a Pokemon Region for a Pokerole campaign, specifically based on Chinese aesthetics and folklore.

I have been taking inspiration for the MANY Gym Leaders of the region from the characters in the classical novel Water Margin, the 108 Stars of Destiny.

And, man...

Good Lord, what madness rules in brain-sick men,
When for so slight and frivolous a cause
Such factious emulations shall arise!

You watch the fall of foundation built on revolt's fount and folly. But, on that plane yet rests a floor that another more perfect union may yet be raised anew.

No bed so built by the hands of wise men will fade from this earth if we so will it.

So it was yore, so it can be more.

I’m autistic. That’s not a performance
or a political identity it’s just part of who
I am. If your argument depends on mocking
autistic people to score points, it’s not a
strong argument. It’s just ableism.

Today's outage should be a wakeup call: Dependence on a handful of powerful corporations is a threat to economic and national security.

Oh no, cute gamer got recognized by the devs!
Next you'll be telling me your lobster is too buttery! Oh no, how is your steak, is it too juicy?
/joking /positive

But for real, outreach can seem tough at first, but I know devs who really appreciate that kind of recognition. Keep it up!

Thank you to everyone at the #NO_KINGS rallies for making your voices heard & being part of history.
The massive crowds were joyful, passionate & spectacular!

So were the signs...

I just wanna ramble about Abyssals, man...

My beloved, edgy, 2000's DeviantArt Ghost Pirates.

Ya know, I was thinking about doing an impromptu stream today.
Maybe play some Digimon, maybe brainstorm some TTRPG stuff, maybe talk about Exalted some more...

AND THEN MY POWER WENT OUT. 😑
God forbid I get back in the game! 😤

This is great art and a great way to show appreciation for your GM! I love how you used the triangle motif in so many places across the composition.

I hope everyone at your table has many more enjoyable esoteric adventures with the Agency, and I wish for a Happy Birthday for your GM!

It's instructive for me to think about AI like I think about social media: a potentially fun, useful, and fascinating technology cloaked in all sorts of incentives to make it destructive, exploitative, and annoying, mostly due to how capitalism and the worst of human nature wrap themselves around it

Shoutout to every VTuber, Streamer, and Independent Creator continuing to do their best on The Poorly Moderated and Actively Detrimental Video Platform.

Things could be so much easier for everyone without the arbitrary changes of The Platform, but I salute anyone still trying their best.

Being a GM with scheduling conflicts is like being a Harem Anime Protagonist.

All your friends are too busy hijink-ing to talk about their circumstances and everyone is thirsty for your game, but everything would be easier if you just formed a cohabitating polycule.

IDK, is that just me?

Logan Laidlaw chose the perfect time to release the Three Gentle Sins expansion, because I was already planning to have a group of Hightrankul (God of blackmail and extortion) worshippers be the main villains!

Now they have ghost arms and cool masks and KILLED THE CLERIC IN ONE HIT, WHAT THE FU-?!

So, I am running another Smonus Domina 5e game at my library!

We have a:
- Vampire Kits'adria Thief (anemic foxgirl)
- Kobold Cleric of Penance (he has a gun...)
- Framebilt Alchemist (yummy chlorophyll!)
- Halfling Juggernaut (yk the joke already)
- Human Samurai (beeg odachi, beeger hits)

I really love :Otherscape and it's Mytho-Cyberpunk settings, but I love the system they use even more.

It can take a second to adjust from having set stats like other RPG systems, but Tags are awesome once you get into the swing of things!

Also, being a big weeb, I love the Tokyo setting book!

Any game can benefit from the pr since of at least one lovable homeless wizard/genius/supervillain/crazy doctor.

Everybody needs a Gandalf, Dr. Gay, or Dr. Doofenschmirtz in their circle of NPCs.

Just some kind of Crazy Professional to balance out the Crazy Greenhorns.

A Manga inspired image depicts a truck, which is crashing into a lamp post, a stop sign, a tree, multiple watermelons, a post box and you can see a person and a tanooki bouncing off in the distance. Behind the logo for the game is an person with long, tied up pink hair, pointy elven ears wearing a suit of armour. They are pointing a sword towards the viewer with an excited look on their face. The logo reads: Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?!"

Sometimes you just accept things as a part of your day to day, so take a second and say out loud...

"We're making a game called Truck-kun is Supporting Me From Another World?! where you play the truck in an Isekai story."

You can think "...hell yeah..." if you like!

It's coming out next year!

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them.

The current climate is especially accelerating this.

Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves.
Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Mr. Mime

By definition, there is no logical place for a Mime to appear in your life.
But there he is, standing in the Janitor's Closet, grinning ear-to-ear like his presence is not pushing back against any sense of stability in your life.

He will still be there tomorrow!
So I hope!
So I pray...

"Dodging the Rapture" is lame. Real ones know that the Game of God ended in 2012 and the entropic breakdown of logic and plausibility is due to the Divine Simulation being left on for too long.

The Maya are justified, we are a sad run-on epilogue to Life.

But hey, props to anyone who got Raptured!

The words "AUTISM ANNOUNCEMENT" in large bold font on a blue background.

For all the neurodivergent folk who have to deal with obnoxious neurotypical "experts" in your life:

You are not "being a contrarian".
You are not "making a big deal out of nothing".
And, if anyone has the GALL to say "You don't know what you're talking about", they DESERVE whatever you say next.

Hey, friends.

Please remember that feeling bad does not actually make you a better person or help anyone.

Decouple action from emotion. Do what you can to help while feeling as good as you can.

People to object to you *feeling* happy, regardless of your actions, are being pointlessly cruel.

Imagine the wacky enemy bands you could have the party encounter along the way!

- The Lightsavers, an all-angel "Lawful Good Rock" group who sell chitzy "purity bands" after the show.

- Pub Riot, rowdy dwarves who end up banned from wherever they perform

And of course:

- Mosh Druids
