Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou πŸ’”

Orbital Review Orbital is a major supplement for the β€˜Outpost Mars’ background released in the summer of 2012 by Paul Elliott and Ben Lecrone of Zozer Games. It introduces more technology and backgrou…

If you’re interested in near-future TL9 space exploration, take a look at Zozer Games β€˜Orbital / Orbital 2100’ for Cepheus Engine. I did a review a while ago:

You can pick up a copy from Lulu.com and Paul is working on a third edition update.

Human Made by HINOKODO An icon pack made by humans

hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

A few years ago I made an icon pack for folks to use (it's free!) and over the years it's appeared on 100+ products (from what folks have linked to me! Mostly books) I like the positive spin of 'human made' vs 'no ai' personally.

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

Hello, all.

Just over five weeks ago, I was laid off. If you've enjoyed my work (list at lnkd.in/gFqcqbGV) and feel like helping me out, you can.

1. Buy Me a Coffee at lnkd.in/gh2SqVtE

Many and heartfelt thanks.

I've made the decision to permanently keep the Deep Space #ttrpg core rulebook as Pay What You Want on @drivethrurpg.com, so feel free to grab a free copy and if you enjoy it then check out the 25+ supplements!

Or, the additional purpose for your next band name?

I’d go for β€˜Deep State Hellmouth of Moonbeams’.

This TTRPG is going to be free for a while so take advantage of my unmatched generosity and grab hold of a copy!

For those without a DTRPG account, I'll probably set up a Dropbox link.

A couple of people have said the petition doesn’t take account of fact we have OFCOM & BBC regulators & doesn’t explain why we think these aren’t working currently. Well there’s a word limit but I think it’s self evident it’s not working. Keep signing folks petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

An alternative if rhere isn’t anything on the client is to see if you can manage traffic (by setting a bandwidth limit) on your router? I can do this on my Synology router but I don’t know about other makes.

Screenshot from a Tumblr post by ralfmaximus: Mozilla, in its finite wisdom, embedded LLM bots into recent versions of Firefox for the vitally-important purpose of… naming tab groups. Now, some users are noticing CPU and power usage spikes caused by a background process called Inference.

Ugh. Reminder again for Firefox users to visit your about:config page, search for the browser.ml.chat.enabled key, and set that to false:

If yours says true then double-click it until it reads false.

Doing that turns off the AI chatbot features in Firefox, but also the stupid new LLM tab-naming feature that's rolling out
