Traitorous Alf

Two announcers, Jason Garrett and Dan Hicks, stand in front of a sign that reads "Big Turd" thanks to how they are blocking it

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

What's the current system you're running for your irl game?

Good luck!

Why was the Choco taco ever discontinued, that thing slapped

Karashi from Akane Banashi saying this sucks, man

Gonna be getting mileage out of this one

Eternal weekend was very cool. I only went today and I only went to buy a Badlands and get artist signatures. The Foglios, Liz Danforth, Doug Schuler, Brian Snoddy, and Dan Frazier were all very nice and cheerful to talk with.

Debating next year going to this again or NYCC.

Okay, I think I’m calling it done

While I've been aware of Emily and Evan's work, mainly through Bluesky osmosis (but not in a lot of detail), this article was great at not only giving me more insight into where they're coming from, but also other names in their area. Gonna check out Analog Game Studies because of this article.

This game is how I learned about Cream of Clapton and Mannheim Steamroller at @tewhit.bsky.social house as kids.

Yeah, and I'm probably going to snag the English translation when it comes out but something about having the JP version to sit alongside it.

That is kind of what I thought.

I have a coworker going to Japan, what's like the Japanese TTRPG that isn't Call of Cthulhu or D&D?

I played a game of commander on Friday and one of my opponents gave me the most dog shit looking Magic Con Chicago AI trash treasure token. I was like "0h... wow... Was this official?" He said no and I handed it back (would have been pissed off if it was official).

it's that time of year, it's time to get your flu and covid booster shot unless you're from massachusetts then it's time for your flu and covid borcester shot

Gonna build my own osr heartbreaker but it's just Swords & Wizardry, OSRIC, and 3.5 D&D in a trenchcoat.

Classic fantasy map of a small county crossed by two rivers. It shows farms, bridges, forts, a great forest, dwarven mines, a halfling village and other notable places like an academy. At the center of the map is the city of Wellmet.

Another oldie I really enjoy named The Twin Rivers.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

This is obviously inspired by the work that the team at @comicstitan.bsky.social is doing, but I want to play in a TTRPG game that uses a sword and sorcery and a cthulhu/pulp system that does similar things to their Black Stone or Scourge of the Serpent stories.

Lee saying this when Brevoort over at Marvel is already on the “it’s inevitable” train is especially relevant

Nightmare Alley might be one of the most tension filled harrowing films I've seen in a long while, and it's incredible and I'm afraid to sit down and watch it again.

G.U.R.P.S.!

It was a poor attempt at a silly joke.

Don't worry, I know the limitations of the format.

Gonna have to change it to $50 vintage after the TCC bump lol.

I think this might just be the way I need to do this:
I am looking to connect w/ an old friend from a play-by-post RPG forum called Mythweavers. They went by the name "Renzel" back then, used to talk all the time before drifting away in college. I'd love to try and get in touch with them again.

It is insane to me that the cheapest, rinkydink piece of shit 3d printer is more reliable than a 4,000 dollar Epson. I've met computer engineers with decades of experience building some of the most complex code who consider the average office printer to be an unsolvable black box.

My puppy is in one of those playful toothy phases and while trying to correct him, I turned my back to ignore him and the little shit bit me on the ass!
