My suggestion will be Things Fell Apart. The caveat being it is about the culture wars. www.bbc.com/audio/brand/...

I've started a #TTRPG blog—specifically about solo TTRPGs, and soloing games not designed for solo play. My second review is up—it's about Pendragon (pub. @chaosium.bsky.social), and it's a long one!

(Does this count for #SelfPromoSaturday?)

Art from Starscape by Golden Lasso Games. It features a yellow spacecraft zipping through a cloudy atmosphere.

What Makes Starscape Unique?

Easy ship mechanics allow full customization and control without tons of crunch, and the time-efficient rules include all players in ship-to-ship conflicts.

if a piece of legislation has a name like "The Protecting Poor Defenseless Children from Evil Online Terrorists and Kidnappers Act of 2025" you can be damn sure that what it actually does is fund facial recognition equipped robo-murder dogs and make it a felony to listen to Chappel Roan in public

Alright I need all of your help.

For the first part of ‘help’ if you see this post, repost it. That would be a gigantic help.

Because if we can get to 100 people watching our Spotify in 30 days we can monetize it.

We’re getting close! TIA!

Finally found it. The average book thief makes between 60k and 99K USD.

The average author makes around 10k. Most pirates are stealing from people worse off than themselves. But they cosplay as poor or use poor people as a shield to justify their class warfare.

Our child, holding one leg up in the air while trying to ooze some green slime putty down the inside of his pant leg, muttered a choice epithet to himself, followed by the name of the current president.

I'm not sure how this is related to his current endeavor, and I'm not asking.

I would like this twice if I could.

That's a more measured response than usual for him.

It is playing at work as I read this post. I have no idea if that means anything.

I'm going to say @goldenlassogirl.bsky.social she hosts a TTRPG advice and actual play channel @happyjacksrpg.bsky.social and is a game designer @goldenlassogames.bsky.social, plus her work with GAMA.

You could play Unknown Armies in the Happy Jacks discord this weekend.

Tabletop RPG books aren't overpriced. Not even the ones that just had price hikes.
They're specialty technical creative writing social interaction manuals.
At x2 current prices, they wouldn't be overpriced.
This is a huge part of why most ttRPG creators leave the industry.

It definitely looks like a Justice League movie. (Which I would love, but don't call it Superman.)

Stop tempting me to get a physical copy.

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

The new version of #KOSA is part of a last-ditch desperate effort to ram the bill through in a must-pass package before the end of the year. That would be a catastrophe for human rights, free expression, and everyone's online safety and privacy. Sound the alarm and take action www.stopkosa.com

Cover of Tide Breakers. Black cover with the title in white and the head of a trident (also white) surrounded by blue. My shadow is also clearly visible on the cover.

#22 Tide Breakers by @fallonmyblade.bsky.social. It is a great cinematic roleplaying game. If you want to be the Big Damn Hero and take out all the mooks, check out this game. Now I just have to find time to play it.

Young, inexperienced, naive, I assumed I could afford one whole month plus six days in September, three days in November worth of health insurance. We were busy with wedding planning, so I waited longer than I should have to look at prices. Two weeks before my birthday, I started calling insurance companies. Those with name recognition whose plans covered mental healthcare were so far out of our budget, it was comical. Over twelve hundred dollars, more than our wedding’s budget. I hung up after receiving the quote. There were other companies I found online, sketchy plans with names I never heard of before. I wasn’t sure if they were scams or actual insurance options. None of them covered mental health, either. We considered getting a credit card to handle the premium, but had just gotten our first one months earlier to purchase invitations from that newfangled Amazon website. Again, we made a young person’s decision: Survive forty days without health insurance for me. I loaded up on my Paxil prescription and birth control, scheduled only one appointment with my therapist until after the wedding, and decided to hold our breath.

Seven years ago, I wrote about how we got married.

It's about a woefully inadequate health insurance system, unethical banking practices, student loans, mental health, and @dereksemsick.itch.io.

It seems like a good time to share it again.
