Hey #TTRPG designers! Are you in the Pacific Northwest of North America? Or always wanted to see the beautiful emerald forests of the PNW?

I'm checking interest in the idea of a TTRPG retreat some time in the next 1-2 years. I'd love it if we spread it around a bit.

The Crystal Heart graphic novel cover, showing a table with four excited people emoting, gesturing, and rolling dice, and behind them a view of a fantasy world with three in-game characters in various action poses who have glowing magical effects around their chests.

Crystal Heart is coming out in print this November from Dark Horse!

But what exactly IS IT, you ask? Well, you've come to the right 🧵!

I'm flabbergasted. YouTube. This is the platform where people who post videos don't say "pussy" because their video might get demonetized. Wouldn't want to...offend advertiser sensibilities I guess?!

I just witnessed a midroll ad on YouTube that I'm 99% sure was fully AI-generated (video and audio; maybe not script but ???). A woman was hawking an ED treatment video (a VIDEO, not the actual treatment) which she claimed she knew worked because SHE LET HER STEPSON USE IT TO FUCK HER.

A cover image for episode 90 of Design Doc, titled "It's my playtest and I'll cry if I want to." The image has the show's logo, a dotted-line cube, placed over a line drawing of a tea party.

I'm going to need the AI companies to accelerate their inevitable and entirely predictable collapses, please.

This is doing the work!

This isn't about "hurr hurr programs bad." This is literally released, current, active technology that the creators are saying "this is a replacement for the old technology" and it performs worse.

"We've spent so much time and money on this dog shit. Please use it. Pleeeaaaase."

I cannot stress this enough. TL;DR numbers: best-performing model (Perplexity): correct 63% of the time. Worst-performing (Grok 3): 6%. Overall for the 8 models tested: less than 40%.
