Literal thunder, lightning, and hail happening in Vegas right now

New special interest on the horizon

Headed to a new LGS for some commander games. Wish me luck! It would be really rad if it's a good group cuz it's five minutes from our house lol

I'm so happy we finally got a way to hide reposts in feeds on Bluesky

I know it's such a basic bitch pick, but damn if Claire de Lune doesn't hit every time I listen to it. Not my favourite classical piece of music, but there's a reason it's so beloved

The real way GMs attack the light in Shadowdark is by taking 5+ minutes to describe a small stone room with a moth-eaten rug and a barren wooden bedframe

Rurouni Kenshin was the first anime fandom I joined. I followed so many live jounrals. I loved it so much. I wrote self insert fanfic of me and Sanosuke. I learned about Meji Japan to understand it better. HEY, guess what I have NEVER EVER TOUCHED since news broke that the creator is a pedophile?

not being able to move on from a fandom is stunted growth. fandom has gotten weirdly reactionary about this but it’s true. if you can’t let go of characters created by someone suing amnesty international for identifying her as a bigot and need to be told that’s just fine you are not a serious person

WRITER PSA: avoid the use of "below" when referencing the location of something unless you are doing the layout and know that it will actually be below. When the referenced thing is on the following page, it is not below--it's adjacent to where you're reading the reference.

Tell me about a current event in one of the cities in your #TTRPG In Saltcombe, a noble and famous duelist has been stuck on his ship in isolation for nearly a week due to a plague that recently hit the city.

Wrote a line that made me think of a poem, so here... Sing-song voices boil beneath long-packed soil - offering sweet lies and succulent promises for a few spades of extracted earth - That longing hunger makes memory easy to forget - what we had to bury and why it should remain

[dogs, pirates and drakes! OH MY!!] Tonight at 8PM CT we have an educational one for you! Deans of Drake Academy and cEDH’s first family(?) are hopping on the channel tonight for some games! Will we be too cool for school or will they send us back to… 1/x

Opinions differ on whether PCs should ask to make checks or if checks should only be made when the GM calls for them. Either way, how PCs respond to skill checks presents a window into how your GM style lands for them and how they've been conditioned to view success 🧵 1/7

For some reason, the term "coup de grâce" (it's not coup de gras) comes up a lot in the Shadowdark APs we've been watching. It's pronounced koo doo grahs and means "blow of mercy," meant to put suffering people and animals out of their misery.

Asking "what do you do?" is a great trick for GMs to coax the PCs into action, particularly if the question is directed at a specific PC. HOWEVER, if your description of the scene doesn't have any actionable details or only has one way forward, they will likely respond "uhh, move forward I guess?"

I'm honestly so stoked to see the in-world Magic sets next year. They look incredible, but I'm at the point where I might just sell my collection because I haven't played since Magic Con Vegas. Weird place to be in.

I burnt the shit out of the roof of my mouth yesterday while eating Sam's Club chicken bites, which are my favourite chicken nuggy. After taking the first bite of my breakfast, I quickly realized that yogurt and granola was maybe not best choice.

Unless you've played the game, you'd never guess what this dracula-looking motherfucker sounds like

"Why would they do that? It makes no sense." Because YOU wouldn't do something doesn't mean these non-sensical, amoral, brain-damaged millionaires/billionaires wouldn't. Believe what they SAY, don't infer what they MEAN. Reference: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

everyone freaking out about people preaching on the plane are missing some key points. 1: they aren't preaching when they get on the damn plane, they're waiting till they're flying. "um just kick them off the flight?" you mean divert? divert and waste everyone's time because of an idiot??? 2: if >

I'm on my 6th week of working out! I've been going twice/week to lift weights, and last week I started a belly dance class. A little over a decade ago, I studied belly dance and modern dance and wanted to make a career in dance and photography. Feels good to get back into it Young me as proof

I BEAT FALLOUT NEW VEGAS! According to the post credits scene, ruling the Mojave with an iron first alongside Yes Man didn't go so hot. Woops! Now to do the DLC things, and y'know, just replay the game, keep Mr. House alive, parley with Caesar's Legion, and join the Brotherhood (AD VICTORIUM!)

My favourite Jamaican Patois phrase I've learned is "Mi spirit nuh take 'im" to mean "his vibes are off," and I just love that so much. I've been trying to find an opportunity for my character to say it since we started playing

“The Bluesky Experience™”

From experience and from watching APs, I find that GMs make skill tests more difficult than the rules dictate. In the 1st ep of Glass Canon Podcast's Dune campaign, Troy requires 2 successes when the task should require 1 or even 0. Why set the threshold for success higher than it needs to be?

I gotta say, I didn't like The Odyssey as much as The Return

#GMTip - Keep each feature descriptions to 30 words or fewer, if you can. Short, evocative sentences leave room for imagination. "The water's... very dark. Cold, and so very dark." P: "Can we see land?" "Almost, you think. Through this thick, greasy fog, it's... You've lost it."
