"This is going to smell disgusting. Better put my earbuds in."

My 9yo wants to play #dnd as a character who pulls items from other realities to combine them. His example: the Tesseract + a Chaos Emerald + PVC = super chainsaw hands for the Fighter. What system can I dress up as D&D to let this mad genius cook? #ttrpg

Y'all need DMs?

The other day I said that I consider myself fairly artistic and the person I was talking to said "Yeah, that makes sense. Are you diagnosed?" 😵

Love it! Are you going to do all of the classes?

Class Consciousness: Paladin
Swear an oath—not to kings or gods, but to the people. Justice is more than law, and righteousness isn’t obedience. Oaths mean nothing if they serve oppression. #ClassConsciousness #D&D #TTRPG #Paladin

Is anything in your life simple? Anything black and white? So then why do we let the politics in our games be that way? Any system we make up will be messy because it's run by messy people. Doesn't mean it's not worth doing. #socialism #IGandIRL #dnd #ttrpg

Capitalism is the misapplication of a powerful social tool called "markets". It's the economic equivalent of burning the commons down after harnessing the power of fire for the first time. Except, there are those that want to keep that fire burning forever...

Every quest is political. Choosing to fight the dragon, protect the farmers, or topple a corrupt ruler reflects the values of the table. Why not lean into that? Use your games to explore power, privilege, and collective action. #TTRPGCommunity #socialistSunday

I've seen folks using community posts with their face on it and a status update along with a "do the algorithm things" note to keep them showing up in the feed for another week. Might be worth trying if you aren't already. Alternatively, bring on a sub-show runner maybe?

Man... Fuck Moash. #fuckMoash #Stormlight #sanderson

Anyone else ever get an outline written for a book and then lose all drive to complete the story because it's "out of my head now", or is that just me?

I think that if you're not allowing collaborative world building in your games, you're missing the point.

Did you know that if a recipe lists out a bunch of rare expensive ingredients you'll only use once like "uncut oyster shells", "Butterfly laughter" and "fresh thyme" or some such, you can often just look up the name of the sauce they're making at the grocery store and find it premade!

TIL: There is a trending art feed on Bluesky. Time to go "do my own research..."

CARTOON OF THE DAY

"It's weird that Alethi men can't read and must have all books read to them", I think as I listen to Rhythm of War on Audible.

Brings me back to the pure joy of discovering that you could play as the character on the ground in Star Fox 64 vs mode.

I can haz communizzm? 😺

I'm not sorry to go.

Guess democracy died in darkness, huh?

give me coffee for the things i can change and the ability to make people spontaneously combust for the things i can’t.

"Before we hook up, we need to be sure this coupling isn't illegal..."

They want to control our romantic life to ensure complacency. In the past, that was done by a priest. Perhaps in this version, it will be a lawyer.

"What do you mean we're a fascist nation?"

This.

Shrinkidink Obeka is a little hard to see, but it still kinda looks like the card! #EDH

A poorly drawn rendition of Obeka in markers on clear plastic.

I was doing shrinkidinks with my kids last night and decided to do one for our girl, Obeka. We will see how it shrinks... #EDH

Come now, AI can do so many more degenerate things to this man... Let's use that thievery machine for something good!
