I'm struggling to find a pillow that doesn't leave me in unspeakable pain in the morning. It's gotten worse lately; perhaps just the curse of being a side-sleeper with hEDS taking its toll 🥲

A trans femme of colour with a mechanic arm and a leg rising up into the air above a cyberpunk city. Waves of pink and grey energy swirl from their hands and weave between vertical lines of binary code. A variety of other Trans+ people and standing and seated on the tops of buildings and floating platform. The text reads: ‘Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon’. Artwork by Lyss Menold

Trans in the Machine is fully funded!

But with under a week left, there’s still time to hit some stretch goals.

The more we make, the more goes to good causes and mutual aid.

So, shout it loud and share far and wide. Post anywhere you can think of.

Truly, roleplaying with friends is a fantastic way to work on real life skills. Shit like debating persuasively, making sales, and promoting yourself are not skills I'd especially enjoy honing in most non-TTRPG formats... but they've all been fun to RP at some point.

Reminder: you are not immune to propaganda. You might be smart, and good, and strong - but if you're still on X, you're still a data point, slowly shifting rightward.

Wikipedia entry for dinkus In typography, a dinkus is a typographic device or convention that typically consists of three spaced asterisks or bullet symbols in a horizontal row, e.g.   ∗ ∗ ∗   or   • • •  . The device has a variety of uses, and it usually denotes an intentional omission or a logical "break" of varying degree in a written work. This latter use is similar to a subsection, and it indicates that the subsequent text should be re-contextualized. Such a dinkus typically appears centrally aligned on a line of its own with vertical spacing before and after the device. The dinkus has been in use in various forms since c. 1850.[1][2] Historically, the dinkus was often represented as an asterism, ⁂, though this has fallen out of favor and is now nearly obsolete.

perennial reminder that this typographic thing:

is called a "dinkus"

How Jennell Jaquays Evolved Dungeon Design, Part 2: The Caverns of Thracia (Continued from Part 1, which looked at the state of TTRPG dungeon design pre-Jaquays. These two posts are cleaned up versions of my two Bluesky threads on the subject.) In Part 1, we reviewed earl…

#Jennell #Jacquays, trailblazing #trans woman, #TTRPG designer & artist, is a legend. This article provides a deep analysis of her first big adventure module, Caverns of Thracia, proving that she is the first truly great adventure designer, and arguably the GOAT.

What excellent taste you have XD

Also, Terrys seem to be over-represented here? Perhaps the name is somehow prophetic, or charmed. O to be a Terry in the fantasy writing clime of the 80s and 90s.

I so wish I could include Patrick Rothfuss on this list.

Five authors I've read at least five books by:

Margaret Weis
Tracy Hickman
Robert Heinlein
Stephen King
Ursula K. LeGuin

Five more?:

Terry Pratchett
L. Frank Baum
Anne Rice
Terry Goodkind
Lynn Flewelling

Five more?!?:

Terry Brooks
R.A. Salvatore
Jim Butcher
Piers Anthony
Michael Crichton

Groupshot of the Plotweaver team with the Plotweaver symbol

Plotweaver is currently getting developed by a wonderful group of folks!

So, please read (and share!) below about the people making this awesome game 🧵

O for a full-featured language learning app that doesn't use AI.

I almost resubbed to busuu, which I liked a lot, but they're pushing their "AI conversations" feature... and while I could skip it, I'm concerned about AI making its way into the actual lessons.

AI is fucking garbage, gtfo with that.

As much as you hate Gen AI you are not hating it enough. None of us are. We need to do better.

Just unfollowed somebody for saying "all fans of X should be dragged into the street and shot."

What the fuck. is wrong. with you. That's not a cool thing to say because people are (checks notes) playing TTRPGs "wrong"?!

Jesus christ, don't be like that.

My first winter in the Netherlands, and damn is it ever snowing, wow!! Disabled and without transportation, we've been effectively snowed in since Friday. They canceled our grocery delivery for today, which is a bit nerve-wracking - but at least it sure is beautiful...

Tell me we should trust AI to give us the facts. Tell me it's a future we can put our faith in. Come at me. I'm right here, waiting.

I am proud to say I just wrapped up copyedits on my first full-length TTRPG adventure!!!

I'm so tired - but so happy 🥲

Opening this word document causes my laptop to make a sound like a small aircraft taking off.

Essential dungeon crawl monsters:

1. Big and dumb
2. Small but there's lots
3. Tentacles don't go there
4. Evil horse
5. Fun facts about mushrooms
6. Eye
7. Punchable child
8. Dude that looks like another dude
9. Hostile architecture
10. Capitalism allegory
11. Uncomfortable implications
12. Steve

Star Trek Voyager scene. It's a romantic evening on the streets of a charming little town with I'm sure a folksy name like 'Fair Haven' or something. Ensign Harry Kim, dressed in an overcoat, leans in with a full heart and closed eyes and kisses a large black and white Holstein cow right on the mouth. Two closed captions are simultaneously present: On Harry's side of the screen the caption reads, "(gasps)" and on the cow side of the screen the caption reads, "(moos)".

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in a very dumb annual tradition and start 2026 off on the right hoof.

I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

Posting again for my friend, if you're able to help please do. If you can't donate, please share.

Plotweaver™ is a new RPG system and setting from Brotherwise Games that invites players to explore the Tapestry, a universe where every story is true.

Characters might focus on the tale of a single world, or travel the threads of reality to explore endless worlds of sci-fi, fantasy, and more.

I wanted to put more Singer art into the universe, so here's a smol baby, their parent, and a very cute cremling!

I'm old.

If you're not, listen to this.

Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.

Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.

It's literally never been more important.

Defending your Thanksgiving with “We don’t use it to celebrate genocide!” isn’t the issue. It’s still poison without a pilgrim hat.

It’s the mindlessness.

It’s the fact you eat a gluttonous meal on our stolen land while our access to food — our salmon, buffalo, corn — remains decimated. (1/3)
