In stores Wednesday! It's freaking great! Ask your comic shop to hold a copy for ya! comicshoplocator.com
My group has a dedicated notetaker who shares his session summaries in a discord channel that I made specifically for him. They're so useful, even I as a GM sometimes use them to keep on top of things that I improv in the moment, lol
I blog about the dawn of Kobold Press: the weird and wonderful DIY phase from 2006-2011, with a motley cast of layabouts and geniuses. #ttrpg #history #20years

Bane of my existence as an unemployed editor of subtitles. No, I do not want to help Company X's AI make better subtitles, I want them to hire people who have been doing it for years and pay them a living wage.
Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
Image of Thuldrexa, the battle couple. The dwarven barbarian Thudia is crouched in front of the tiefling cleric Drexa, axe in her right hand, dressed in earth tones, looking to the left. Her skin is pale, hair red and pulled back in multiple braids. Drexa is standing behind Thuldia and looking to the right, staff in her right hand while the left is outstretched and projecting lavender divine energy. Her skin is crimson, eyes yellow, hair salt and pepper, dressed in purples with silver jewelry.
The tiefling cleric Drexa wasn't looking for love, but found it anyway when the dwarven barbarian Thuldia flexed her way into her life. The two of them made for a great battle couple though the course of their adventures, each one's strengths balancing out the other's weaknesses.
What started as a meetup to learn and play the popular tabletop game Dungeons & Dragons has grown into a community of 2,500 people offering friendship, refuge and mutual aid as immigration enforcement ramps up in Minnesota.
This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.
Hereβs last nightβs story about Twitter, how it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, and the real reason why John wonβt be tweeting in the future. Hint: it has something to do with his amazing feet. youtu.be/p7ZG_xWYLzI

Iβve been talking about Alysa Liuβs story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dreamβ¦

Kids! I'm not lyin when I say, times being what they are---it's important you BACK crowdfound projects NOW from companies u want to stay around.
The Night Hunters Kickstarter has less than 24 hrs. The art is gorgeous AF. Its the book we wanted Van Richtens to be.
Honestly what're you waitin for?
I really liked playing this game's demo! It's maybe the best version of a heist game on every level, and I look forward to playing the whole game.
AOC on DHS Warehouses: I think every American should be alarmed. They are buildingβand have builtβa black box system that disappears people, both immigrants and U.S. citizens alike.
Or any written work, really. I have excellent attention to detail, I can adapt to any style guide you throw at me, and I work just as well when with a team as when I'm left to my own devices. Hell, I'll take data entry you don't have time to do, as long as it's steady work!
Been doing a lot of freelance work the past few weeks, which is good, but I'd really like a steady paid gig, even if it's just contract work. Reliable work with an end date is better than freelance work that has zero predictability. So, if anyone needs a guy to edit/QC their captions...
The trans color jumbo silicone dice now come in the standard size as well!!!! Theyβve been added to the shop ponder TRAHR - Silicone.
Hey, just in case you need me to state it explicitly here to know where I stand? Fuck ICE. The wannabe Gestapo can eat shit and die. And while I'm at it, fuck AI. If you support either of these things, you're invited to kindly unfollow me forever.

Seems relevant.

βA.i.ββs primary function is cheating and fraud. It is a natural tool of fascism, pushed by fascists. Do not use or share that shit.

Literally opened the Xbox Dropout app today and it logged me out AGAIN! It hasn't even been 24 hours! What's going on with app version 10.1.4/10.001.1? Can we roll it back to the previous version that didn't have this problem?
Shadow Token System Night Hunters Kobold Press
Game Masters! I have a question for you? How do you get Players to engage in a Horror story while not necessarily be scared themselves. Especially if you're playing a game like D&D that is built on character empowerment. Our new Night Hunters Kickstarter, has the answer - youtube.com/shorts/hfYdj...
Hey, is it just me, or did the Dropout app for Xbox get worse? I've had to log back in three different times over the past week, and it resets my captions to off every time. Would love it to go back to staying logged in all the time and keeping my captions up and running.

A game I worked on is coming out really soon. Made in Africa. Please check it out ππππ
βIn the years ahead, as more and more of what makes us who we are is gobbled up by fewer and fewer ghoulish robber barons, weβre all going to have to decide how much of ourselves weβre willing to keep renting from people who hurt us.β
So, hey, if you're hiring actual people to edit your subtitles or dub scripts or what have you, or to do data entry type tasks, I'm very available and easy to work with. π Please hire me so I don't have to train someone's AI just to survive.
