Union Strong! We’re fighting to make Wizards of the Coast the best place to work—and you can help! Click through the thread and learn how you can get involved.

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social · 7d ago

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I just watched this video and Michelle does such a brilliant job of breaking down many of the harms of generative AI and why we should care about it! I'm gonna use this video next time someone doesn't believe me when I tell them these things - with plenty of cited sources, they can't ignore it

EUphoria Actual Play@euphoriaap.bsky.social · last wk.

NEW VIDEO! If you or someone you know are still unsure about why generative AI is a really bad thing, or why you should particularly give a shit about it being in the TTRPG space, @michellicopter.bsky.social has five solid reasons that you SHOULD. It's Michelle Yapping Hours, get in here.

I can't stop thinking how wrong the tech bros have understood creativity and creators. Or even just having hobbies. #erliart

I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video. 

I am so proud of Dillin and what he is doing with One Shot and within the industry generally. He is a good guy who tries hard to make good art and good spaces. I welcome every recognition and celebration of Dillin anf his accomplishments.

One Shot: Last Train to Bremen took home the award for Outstanding Drama, and I was awarded the William Dufris "Those Who Dare, Win" Achievement Award yesterday and I wrote a big sappy post about it on the pictures app. I'm feeling very good and warm. www.instagram.com/p/Dd1alTwEf6...

A.I. and corporate lingo are dragging language ynto drugged realmes of vague, airy, plastic nothingnesse: glitz and hyperbole wythout meaning. Language must have fur and clawes, make the floorboardes creake and leave wet dirtye footprintes. Wordes are rayne and fyre and stone. Wielde them. Save us.

Well, well, well. Good.

UK Games Expo has banned generative AI art, text, and merchandise across all NEC exhibition halls, bringing the convention in line with broader British tabletop standards. Standholders face removal or bans if their products aren't made by humans. #UKGE

Anyway a decent 30% of the reason I made my own Bluesky account is to tell people that I wrote a game and I realised that my extremely romance-centred TTRPG might not work so well with the branding of my (checks notes) aromantic and asexual podcast. welshwebster.itch.io/coffeeshop-au

100% recommend DoMA to all my global majority moots - wonderful folks committed to creating safe and welcoming spaces for telling authentic and diverse stories 🥰

This is so exciting! Not ONLY because the DoMA team are exhibiting incredible commitment to diverse and inclusive art, but also because both of these potential campaign ideas sound RAD.

May the *checks notes* DICE be ever in your favour ...? Episode One of 'Overgrown', created by our fantastic guest GM, @bennewbon.itch.io, is out now wherever you get your podcasts. 💚 💜 🐾

My first topical Critical Bearings post is up... here are my thoughts on all-white Actual Play feat. bell hooks, Toni Morrison, and a little Pierre Bourdieu.

I'm so incredibly proud of this oneshot. The DoMA crew were fantastic to run for, had amazing ideas and the production worked out superb. We had a quick self-contained story with a bunch of ups n downs and some really satisfying conflicts, I very much enjoyed. Give it a listen when you can!

🧵Hey friends! Do you run a TTRPG Actual Play? Did you know that working with a sensitivity reader or cultural consultant can help you recruit diverse casts, tell impactful and inclusive stories, choose content wisely, set CWs for your audience, and make your show accessible for Disabled viewers?Here

This is 100 percent true! And having just moved out, that is extra money coming in is so vital ✨

-𝚖𝚘𝚡 ☃︎ ❄︎@moxiest.art · 2mo ago

people get intimidated by the social belief of "supporting the arts" as like donating $5,000,000 for a new wing at a museum or hosting some gala it's not. 10% of our audience throwing us $1.00 a month would literally be *life-changing* money most artists are in the same boat.

Reminder that DOMA will be on hiatus for a while after August while we work on a new, sustainable schedule for season 2! Rest is GOOD and we like it!

Esther@dungeonminister.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I’ve seen a sentiment across platforms lately from AP folks talking about feeling tired but also like they need to keep producing stuff. Let me be your disabled fairy godparent for a moment. 🪄 I hereby give you the gift of REST. You can put your work down. Art will still be here when you get back.

I had a blast pulling off a VERY SERIOUS AND NOT AT ALL SILLY robbery with the lovely folks at RWD using @gshowitt.bsky.social's Honey Heist system. Big thanks to the whole team and my fellow guest @thewhimsyblerd.bsky.social for such a fun adventure! Ep1 (of 2): shows.acast.com/a-rendezvous...
