Iiiii think this means *you're* actually the smart one 😂

I'll absolutely still die, but not until late in the game, sometimes as a clever sacrifice play, and definitely while overintellectualizing the plot the whole way there? Dammit, I'm in.

Here is my occasional note: if you are black TTRPG designer and can use help with anything - design advice, brainstorming, connections - please feel free to reach out and I will do what I can to help or find someone who can help.

We need more black TTRPG designers.

This statement is true in the same way "not being allowed to steal money is killing the bank-robbing industry" is true.

Put. The. Mask. Back. On.

It's never too late to start doing the right thing, for others and for yourself. It matters.

I really hate that this immediately made sense to me.

This. So much this.

Designing my new paladin 👀

Death Tyrants are born when a beholder has a nightmare about its own death. What happens when a near-dead beholder has a fever dream about the legendary knight that nearly felled it?

This mystery can of body horror that merely pretends its skin is armor!

I clown on wotc a bunch but also this is very good

As someone who is a hobbyist archivist I cannot recommend enough making your own physical copies of any queer and trans media that is important to you sooner rather than later.

I feel like Smaug and this post is the black arrow.

Ah yes. I love having to submit my SSN digits and/or a photo ID to verify my age. Surely nothing bad will come from this.

I'm watching that documentary "Before Stonewall" about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting. The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one "known homosexual". The "known homosexual" is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson. So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there's nothing wrong with him mentally and he's never been arrested. When asked whether he'd take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he's gay, he says that they didn't up until tonight, but he guesses they're going to find out, and he'll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like ... why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says "I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself." 1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium. Despite the pseudonym, Dale's boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary. Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson's disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

73 percent!

y'all are incredible, I'm so grateful, thank you so much!

we're getting so close now!

we can do it!

Nobody who joins ICE has ever had friends, enjoyed sex, or made another person happy in any way. They’re miserable bastards and they only want to spread their misery, to offload it. They will fail at this, too. Their misery will just get worse.

I have scientific proof of this.

DnD rival pledges meals to World Food Programme for each Pathfinder Quest backer Paizo, publisher of Dungeons and Dragons rival Pathfinder, will sponsor the Power Word Meal Campaign, a tabletop initiative fighting starvation.

Pathfinder Quest is special to me for many reasons. One reason: I’m Edit Lead. Another reason? It’s supporting Power Word Meal.

For each of the first 10,000 backers, Paizo will pay for one World Food Programme food basket to go to people in need.

Thank you for supporting Quest and fighting hunger!

A small plushie of an egg with a smiley face. The whole body is a white egg with tiny round feet and no arms, and it has a flat yellow yolk face with a big happy smile and little pink rosy cheeks. It is sitting on my computer desk next to my mouse, and it is fucking adorable.

Look at this tiny friend my partner got me as a surprise 🥲

Hey hi, I wanna do bloodwork this week to figure out if I can get started on injection!!!

Block and go about your day. They feed on oxygen and algorithm boosts. Don’t give it to them. This isn’t Twitter. Starve them of attention. It’s a tried and true way of dealing with them.

Suggest taking a moment to scroll through these comments, friends.

Anybody else absolutely love Clair Obscure: Expedition 33??? I'm not quite finished with it yet, but I don't think a game has ever made me say an awestruck "wow" out loud this many times before. (And that's not even counting the owowowow's!)

It's just... stunning. Devastating. Gorgeous.

Lot's of new or suddenly active accounts being weird, turning up the temperature, provoking folks. Hit that block button and walk away gang.

The word painstakingly, with a hyphen between pains and takenly

I definitely thought of this word as pain-staking, which doesn't actually make any sense now that I think about it

I've said it before, now I'm begging. Normalize knowing multiple systems again. If the system you're using isn't supporting your stories or playstyle, change it up. There's so many options out there. Expand your horizons.
