Reminder: 1. You don't need to have an opinion on everything, especially stuff you don't know enough about 2. You don't need to have a PUBLIC opinion on everything 3. It's okay to focus on one or two things and let others take up the slack elsewhere 4. It's okay to take a break when overwhelmed.

Yup. This is where I note to people that the "books vs audiobooks" debate is a nonissue for the vast majority of authors, we're delighted you come to our work whatever the format. Also audiobooks opened up a whole new revenue stream for us, which we also, you know, tend to like.

And it's OK if you read audiobooks because reading physical books is too slow or difficult. My brother finds reading physical books a challenge, but tears through entire series of audiobooks and loves it. He's just now discovering he likes science fiction.

This is one of my long-time personal bugbears as a player with 20+ years and >6 editions under my belt, too. 5e players haven’t really experienced distinct worlds, and I think it means they’ve missed out on something special because if it. 1/

seeing D&D people complain they don't want artificer cat people in their medieval fantasy and a) wow the kids are growing into their own grognard era, *sniff* and b) this is what we used to have different published campaign settings for and what they could be for again

Note: We do not use AI. Period. We pay humans to create our games, end-to-end. Adobe recently implemented a feature that quietly injected AI alt text into Umdaar. We've removed it, updated the PDF, and disabled the feature. We apologize for the error, please download the latest PDF. Also: Fuck AI.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands

I sent an opinion to the wrong group chat by accident and got an immediated "NO" Was not expecting that harsh of reaction for saying "milk first then cereal! best way right?"

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.

AI-generated profiles of TTRPG designers ignite fury across social media

So my buddy @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is doing a poll about favorite TTRPGs. But he needs a signal boost beyond his own fanbase. So, for science (or simply for Bob, because he's a nice guy), can you take a minute to do this simple, 2-question survey? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This is a simple poll with a lofty goal! With your help, we can reach across the entire tabletop roleplaying game community, both online and offline, to learn which TTRPGs are the most popular in 2026...
