I’m working on a new solo deck building game.

In terms of de-colonizing your D&D, I asked: What if instead of *getting* magic items, you became the *steward* of a magic item? And... I was shocked. Apparently that is not appealing to some people. I mean fair, but also... that's just not my experience. I gotta think more... 🤔

Can I ask for some silly help? 🥺 I want to expand my “I miss my wife” folder. Here’s a few from my current collection.

So, I can now call myself an Ennie winning Author and consultant!! Huge congratulations to the Crooked Moon team for winning Product of the Year as well as a sweep of others!! The fact I could contribute by including Desi inspired folk-creatures especially feels so meaningful to me!

I took this picture and later when I sent it to the group chat I went, “Wait, is this AI generated?” Bitch, YOU took this picture like two hours ago! Anyways, tomahawk steak in Warsaw.

What's the deal with games needing monsters you can kill with no remorse? I keep seeing TTRPGs touting this in their marketing ... There was Obojima, a while back; now Deathbringer with its pig-faced orcs. I genuinely don't get this! What desire is being served here---and whose? 1/

Using generative AI to distance a creative work from the Asian influences that real humans experienced, absorbed, and then shared is a kind of colonization I don’t think any of us have words for - yet.

For the propose of the Command spell, do you consider “puppy play” one word or two?

I’m waiting until Arcana Unleashed comes out to publish a new version of Manual of Gainful Exercise. ...But for now, check out these Horrors Within workouts! 👻

€20???????? I should’ve just gotten a few beers. Sheesh.

I thought @neillyleftistcook.bsky.social was joking when she said the latest Leftist Cooks video was over 5 and a half hours long (30 minutes into the video premiere), but here we are approaching hour 6 and still going strong. Absolutely incredible work from both women. youtu.be/K35FtbuyTh4?...

I’m struggling on how to tell coworkers that it makes me feel disrespected when they give me AI generated replies to my (human written) messages. If this is less work for them, I guess I’m in theory okay with it??? But… the negative feeling remains. 😔

At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

On a scale of 1-10, how professional is it to write a poem as part of a formal business consultant report?

Yesterday I tried it again. 1h33m. Did 10km first fully (70m30s). Then took 5 min break and then PU, SU, squats in order (17m30s). I felt AWFUL after lol. But today I continue to feast and rest. I’ve eaten so many eggs today lmao.

So this workout sucked lmao. 1h47m, tho I probably could’ve done it faster. I broke it into 5 even sets, but should’ve taken advantage of my squats and pushups being really strong. But man that run… 💀

The feedback survey for D&D Beyond Drops opened today. In general, I don't like this direction. I don't like D&D pushing recurring subscription fees and I especially don't like when content is gated behind it. Here's the link if you also want to say your piece. survey.alchemer.com/s3/8854560/D...

69th donation. nice.

Shadow Sorcery workout. You know it’s GOTTA reference Divine General Mahoraga. Surprisingly, pretty doable. Takes a bit of planning though. 😤

Maybe I'll change my mind, but the new D&DB drops frustrate me. Unless you sub, you don't get these spells, feats, backgrounds, etc. Even if I'm sharing a campaign with you, I *can't* share them with you. You *must* subscribe. Maybe these will be included in books later but...

On Sunday, I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau. It left a hole in me. But I’m glad I did it.

since my most recent video came out i have wanted to try my hand at researching and coming up with a more thoughtful gerudo design grounded in a real life culture. i’m not a great illustrator, but i tried my best. here is a palestinian-inspired gerudo!

We've just passed $20,000!

TTRPGs for Trans Rights Idaho is live! Get over 500 games for as little as $5 (or more, if you're able)! All proceeds benefit @tccidaho.bsky.social & @transaffirminc.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️ itch.io/b/3525/ttrpg...

I hate that when an app tells me that there's a new AI feature, my options are "get started" or "remind me later". My response is "no, do not show again".

‘It’s the friends you go on those journeys with’ My drawing for @paulscottcanavan.com ‘s MIR mentorship course. It was tough, it was a big leap in my skillset as an artist but I came away with a lot of good advice for moving forward and some new friends! #kiirokeishi #fantasyillustration

Y'all aren't ready for this D&D charity stream of The Ratchelor with @philistulok.bsky.social @thecandacemarie.bsky.social @dmsteve.bsky.social @improvandrpg.bsky.social @4evergmjustin.bsky.social @philistulok.bsky.social @juliciel.bsky.social @thecandacemarie.bsky.social and me April 5 🌹 12 PDT

This was the last trailer we made together at Studio Grackle. It never felt right to say it before the release, but I closed the studio a year ago. Thank you to @supergiantgames.bsky.social for always supporting us, and being the best creative partner I could’ve ever asked for. Credits below:

I feel like I should do something hilarious for my 69th donation. Maybe I'll see if they can give me a blood transfusion while I donate. I'll workshop it.
