The sadness is not in that Republican politicians have a strong belief that their voters are stupid. It is in the fact that they are not wrong.
So, I'm okay. The elk, not so much. 6:10 this morning. Ill be resting for a couple of days.
I'm gonna start copying @youremceekayvee.bsky.social "This post will never see 69 likes" 🤣🤣🤣
DH_Austin@dhaustin.bsky.social · 2w agoSometimes, sometimes I miss 19th century novels "Chapter 14, where Mona and Roger discover William's plan to force the restaurant to close before the Duke arrives and Tabitha becomes engaged to the young Donald."
Would anyone be interested in me sharing WIPs of my written projects? I know art is flashier, but all of my OCs are from written projects. I usually don't share my writing WIPs because I don't think they're as interesting as seeing my OCs as artworks...
The Sorcery Grand Contest in Prato is over, and the players asked for some amazingly cool prompts and alters while I was there.

When anyone asks, "Why design games?" The answer may simply be that in designing a game we express what it means to be who we are.
🍁 Levi Kornelsen@levikornelsen.bsky.social · 2w agoChugging my way towards a playtestable Geomantic-but-it's-minis-now, I now have a collection of notes that will probably work and is... uh. Too complicated, unless you're an old school wargamer. Gotta boil it down. Or make a VERY sexy reference sheet. Probably both.
I’ve listed three books on Vinted today and somehow sold all three already. This is unheard of. Books never usually shift this quickly!
Making Belgian Waffles this morning. Two for me, one incomplete one for the dog.
🪄 “What If?” Workshop Ever daydreamed a weird AU or crossover for your own characters? Drop it here. Bonus points for drawing it out. 🪐🖋️
So, SO many times. Heck, I'm doing a crossover RIGHT now. I'm using my CURRENT strip as a way of dropping my first character into my UPCOMING strip, set in an AU. LOL.
Had a conversation with 37yo offspring this morning about #TropeRPG and neurodivergence and game design and we bounced ideas off each other about the need to show our processes to others and how that comes across as appearing to show that "I'm smarter than you, you just don't know it".
This is the newest, and admittedly weirdest, addition to the Rocket Patrol of Planet Tomorrow. She claims her name is Ty'ra McQueen, strange humanoid from another galaxy. She joined the Rocket Patrol to hunt down a runaway villain or possibly boyfriend Art by @findingdeefish.bsky.social

The whole professional GM thing is fascinating to me. I think I get the appeal, and obviously there is a market. But, I don't think I would ever do it. I don't think that GM or DM - ing is sacred or any such nonsense. I just don't think I'd like the added pressure. Play anyway you like.
#books I am very fond of fantasy of a certain flavor. Think Dunsany or Cabell. To this list, I easily add modern writer Darrell Schweitzer. "We Are All Legends" is an excellent introduction to his lyrical and engaging prose, and if you enjoy it, you'll be happy to know that he's written a lot more.
@ecfriedman.com Is this the sort of thing you were talking about last week?
Gnome Anne@annethegnome.bsky.social · 2w agohello Actual Play nerds 💚 I'm working on some metadata stuff, collecting different schemas ppl have used to document, classify & describe AP. So far I have SeriesSeeker and Audiofiction UK -- if you know of any other databases/indexes that are describing actual play, let me know!
You write stories. You have a fan base. You are popular. It bothers you. You write stories. You do not have a fan base. You are unknown. It bothers you. For some unexplainable reason, one of these appears better than the other.
Most recently it is #Mothership by Tuesday Night Games. I never used to have a lot of success with one shot sessions, but Mothership has changed that for me.

It has been 4 years since I started writing this story that I never finished. I've always appreciated that the Mods at the forums of @sjgames.com tolerated this. I knew it was not a good way to share this sort of thing. forums.sjgames.com/showthread.p...

"It's not complicated, Doreen. He is a paladin and you are a green dragon. It won't work." "You're wrong," she bellowed. "Everyone is wrong. When he knows how much I love him, he will see I am not evil. And I will eat anyone who stands in the way." "Okay, see, right there. You can't eat people
