It’s October again, which means it’s time again for me to explain to VtM fans why mechanics like “blood potency” are straight up fictionalized race science…

I dig it!

My big theory atm is that Wendy and Hermit are going to be tandem explorations of what it means to encounter a truly alien consciousness. I think Wendy’s ability to hear them will be foiled against a hermit who’s being made into an unwilling interface with the hive

Pale Dot Today we embark on a new cosmic journey.  Will it bring us closer to the stars? Or closer to ourselves? Pale Dot is a collaborative storytelling game (GM-less/GM-full) for 2-5 players about a crew of ...

ATTN COSMONAUTS, PALE DOT 2E HAS LAUNCHED!

It's got new cosmic locations to explore, wondrous new art pieces, and updated play procedures. I'm so proud of it!

Any Pittsburg moots wanna grab Peruvian food tonight?

Def! Filling out now

a poster that reads: HELP! an indie TTRPG game designer pay their rent SALE. below are the covers of the 12 games in sale. get 12 games for $15 dngn club

I wouldn't shilling so hard if it wasn't an emergency. Had some unexpected expenses this summer (which is the slower season for my household) and we are try to catch up. Please consider grabbing EVERY PAID GAME I HAVE for $15 bucks and/or sharing this around.

Thank you so much!

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

!!!

PLEASE

I think back to how many revolutionary games came out on that thing too—games that pushed the boundaries on what video games could do or be.

Even game like gosh and and coliseum: road to freedom were necessary precursors to entire genres of modern games

🚨 ATTN: INDIE TTRPG CREATORS 🚨 we're looking to feature more indie TTRPGs for our actual plays on the Lore Link channel or even for discussions of game mechanics, GM tips, etc. -- tldr we just wanna feature and support cool stuff!

if you're interested, hmu and let's talk!

Would love to talk sound design!

Patrick Healy Joins the Newsroom Masthead | The New York Times Company

Patrick Healey, the guy behind the NYT's "but her emails" coverage and the Opinion section's inane, right-leaning citizen panels is now a "masthead editor" in charge of "standards and trust" for the NYT newsroom. This is not good. This does not build trust. www.nytco.com/press/patric...

Absolutely disappointed in @11bitstudios.bsky.social for this. There is no argument for the use of Gen AI in anything, this and future games are coming off my wish list for the time being.

Sodium ion batteries!

i think i would take the hysteria over mamdani’s ability to govern more seriously if half these people hasn’t endorsed eric adams

weiss’ singular talent is her ability to flatter the sensibilities of rich men of influence. that’s it. she makes them feel like they aren’t as vapidly reactionary as they actually are.

The codependence is real with these two hams

nothing has reinforced my belief that NYC did the right thing like seeing just how upset all the worst people in the world are over it

Thought you couldn’t endorse yourself..?

Zuckerberg is offering random guys $100m to join Meta to “build super intelligence” despite his lead scientist saying it isn’t possible. Sam Altman and Jony Ive may have ripped someone off, Microsoft is ready to let them die.

Silicon Valley, where dreams go to die a billion dollars at a time.

Yeah I agree—to me this should be behind the wall of a “hardcore mode” or something—it’s not friction, it’s a feature vacuum.

hear me out... what if you wore a well-fitting KN95 or N95 mask when in crowded public spaces like a con... especially as we're entering a summer Covid surge... just a thought!

If you’re under 30, you weren’t even born the last time Andrew Cuomo lived here.

This is your city. Vote like it.

When I talk about the professionalization of the tabletop industry, this thread discussing the development and implementation of VTT resources alone is a perfect object lesson.

Unpaid fan labor powers so much production and alternative models cannot yet scale fast enough.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL.

Thank you Senator Padilla for defending your constituents and showing exactly what Kristi Noem and this administration stand for.

yes. i think the only thing the white house has accomplished this week is dramatically grow the crowds against them.
