Also, a friendly reminder: Award season comes with complicated emotions and a lot of those feelings are valid and coexist. It is okay to be weary of webfests, award shows, and grants while also being stoked if you/your friends got something Community binds us, not trophies

🧵 ahead! Most importantly, all the love and gratitude to my friends at @gamemastermonday.bsky.social who have thrown my work into the hat for two CRIT awards this year: tech producer (as Jien) and overlay (as GMM). The friends I've made and work I've done at GMM have been wildly fulfilling. (1/7)

Hey there! If you're a TTRPG designer who found that their work has been messed up by Adobe's AI alt-text (or any other weird AI features they injected to their software that nobody wants), hit me up please! kheehoon (at) rascal.news

Evil Hat@evilhat.bsky.social · 2mo ago

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.

Do you really like Dan? Really hate me? Enjoy bald gays? Help us hit that goal – you'll be acting on all three things at once!

Thanks everyone for all your help so far! We have raised 3k total for the move thus far! Because nothing is simple, we’re now trying to figure out how to get my car from DC to LA; if we ship it, that’s another 2k out of pocket. We have our first incentive in, however! 1/2 gofund.me/b8eddd8b2

Tabletop creators push back against AI at UK Games Expo 2026

MCM, Dragonmeet, and DragonCon take a stance against AI, but the UK's biggest board game con stays silent - despite pushback from attendees.

wargamer.com

Hey, UKGE folks! This is your post-con reminder that you should not tie your self worth to your content output. This applies to folks with disabilities, day jobs, and any other circumstance that hinders your visible output in this space. Keep having fun and keep making friends!

I found this neat tool that lets you generate text and images just from your ideas. It's really good!

Reminder that actual machine learning is not the same thing as gen AI slop. Hell, I've even seen procedural generation (something that games have used for years) now get called AI. These tech bros ruined the term AI for their fad.

Big News-I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL! (USC MFA Arts Leadership) That said, this year was the year that I got laid off and had my mother in the hospital. It's been stressful and taxed my finances heavily. I've set up a GoFundMe gofund.me/6ecc6a60f to cover moving. Any contribution is deeply appreciated!

So after openly deadnaming all our trans folks last week, leadership apologized, but then did not update employee's names for the vote today. This means our trans employees are being forced to openly deadname themselves in order to vote in today's union election. This is deeply fucked.

Posted this over on Instagram, thought I’d post it here too. I hope UKGE see this and hear us.

If you've got at least a blog or some form of place you post things about TTRPGs, and you're not a fascist, we're always happy to send review copies! Please do get in touch.

Here’s why an outright ban is the answer. It’s not about the people who will evade it, it’s about taking a stand against genAI. The more platforms who ban it & follow through with punishment, the less people will want to risk sneaking it in. Cut supply channels, and genAI will become less worth it.

jae is resting 🩸✨@naladraws.com · 2mo ago

you can’t “accidentally use GenAI” FWIW, I agree with needing to differentiate from Itch.io They allow GenAI if it’s tagged. If you disallow it completely, I’d highly consider using this site instead, and I know many folks in the TTRPG space would agree
