Does anyone know any good gm-less 2-3 person ttrpgs? Something rules-light and beginner friendly, preferably fantasy. Iโ€™d like to introduce my parents to ttrpgs but the only ones Iโ€™ve played wouldnโ€™t work for this

Friendos, give them what they deserve: a block.

Feral churches holding green communion growl at careless trespass. Their wild mysteries are not easily untangled. They scratch the soul, infect with untamed spirit. They place the language of vegetation upon the tongue and you find yourself offering thorned hymns. โ€“ #DAKilroy

NoaF needs more contributors. Maybe that could be you?

If not, we'd really appreciate a share, or if you fancied passing the link across to someone who might be interested, so we can keep on covering as wide a ground in SFF as we can.

Now's your chance to show (younger) people, by your acts of beautiful, shining excitement, that having genuine love for things (art, bugs, apple varieties, books, theatre, volcanoes, charity work ......) & sharing that glowing joy is what makes you more deeply YOU & more deeply HUMAN.

See beauty.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. ๐Ÿงต

First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.)

What's your favourite cover from an SFFH book published in the last year or two? Bonus points if it's YA and/or queer.

Please drop links or pics...

Just a reminder for my anti AI homies - check your twitch viewer rewards - they're trying to shill 3 months of duolingo (they use AI generated translations)

You can opt out in creator dashboard -> viewer rewards -> rewards
