I love that one Pokemon card my partner got me (it's Okidogi btw), don't get me wrong. But I don't think I'll ever play the game, I gotta do a deep dive into Kzinti.

Not being into Pokemon gives me so much time for weird stuff

Getting into Wing Commander (I know, timely) so of course I'm starting with the cartoon and the novels.

I don't want to do West Marches. I don't want a megadungeon. I want my friends to create fantastic characters and then save the world.

The things people will say to you if you disparage their piece of media featuring two white man that might at some point hold hands

Honestly? I'm a bit embarrassed for ever liking Firefly. Its time - if there ever was one - has passed.

Hi bluesky. I'm gonna be turning 27 this month. If anyone wants to get me anything for my birthday, you can leave a review. This is my first book, so I'd love any feedback to help me improve. #booksky #writersky #LGBTQ+ #fantasywestern #T4T

No I'm not gonna go adventure into the dungeon. Get me some intrigue and dissolution of monarchy like God intended.

I do not like this gen AI
I do not like what it implies
I do not want it in my art
I do not think it makes you smart
I do not want it in my games
I do not like its goals and aims
I do not want it in my books
I do not like the way it looks
I do not like it, I don't care
I do not want it anywhere

I've been sick for a week now. I don't like it. I'm ready for the next step of this journey.

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing:

Hey Evil Hat team, 

Promised this is the last time youโ€™ll hear from me.

We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend.

I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can.

Want in before we close it up? 

Best,
[redacted]

And then our reply:

Hi [redacted],

We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games.

In short, it's not "free work" it's theft.

Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit.

-Tom

I still think about that time when somebody told me they spend 20 minutes out of an hour long session figuring out how to go down a corridor like it was a good thing.

Having played through 2 full APs, and a character from 1-20, I can enthusiastically say that @basiliskonline.bsky.social is a fantastic GM and you should join his tables and pay him money to entertain you weekly. startplaying.games/gm/basilisko...

Of course I'm not kidding. We need to get rid of these useless boring things for the hobby to prosper. The only thing worse than a dungeon is a hexcrawl.

A long list of supposed tired tropes in TTRPGs that we should get rid of, and yet no mention of dungeons? What are we doing here boss.

I'm reading Dreadnought! by Diane Carey for reasons too nerdy to admit online, and one thing I didn't expect was the main character taking a break to explain to us that collectivism is why World War 3 happened in the Star Trek universe.
Ah, Americans in the 80s.

It's a wall of ice, behind which there's more continents. I think, I only read about it in a comic book once.
