The only barrier to playing TTRPGS is the requirement of not being an asshole. Respect for the table, the GM, your fellow players, the game you’re playing. Understanding, empathy, willingness to collaborate and have fun. From that beautiful things can happen. ❤️

I am usually in the camp of 'all reading is good' but in some very rare cases an absolute dunderhead will pick up a book and be like "the hobbits are a direct endorsement of fascist racial supremacy" and I don't think it's really helping them or anyone else, like maybe reading actually isn't for you

 “We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.“ ― Ursula K. Le Guin

why don’t people understand that their personal beliefs do not matter. i don’t care what you believe. i care what you do, the impact that your actions have. you’re not allowed to say “i don’t agree with x” if you knowingly fucking voted for the people doing it

"BLOODY MARY" BOOK RAFFLE! (Europe) I'm giving away 3 signed copies of my graphic novel "Bloody Mary: A Graphic Biography of Mary Tudor" (US edition in English) among all those who share this post! 😊 RULES: 1) You must be 18+ and in Europe to participate. 2) No purchase necessary to enter.

Okay, game devs. Serious conversation here. Motion blur needs to never be on by default in your games. It's a cute effect for the 10% of people who generally enjoy having vaseline smeared across your screen when you turn around but for normal people, go away.

Don’t allow anyone to tell you that your dream of going off the grid and becoming a bookstore owner with a mysterious backstory who has a quaint shop on a cobblestone side street in Edinburgh is “unrealistic.”

Suddenly remembered how when I was a kid I posted an excerpt from a novel on Reddit and it was torn apart so viciously I didn’t write again for years, all of which to say, please don’t seek out feedback on your writing from anonymous strangers. It’s not going to help you

In case any of my fellow creatives also needed this reminder:

you (plebeian, unrefined): Die Hard is a Christmas movie me (worldly, sophisticated): Die Hard is a Christmas film

I gotta stop reading new ttrpgs because every time I do I just want to drop everything and play that. Will I actually stop though? No.

Worldbuilding, deciding that Sorcery is defined NOT as "magic that is inherent" like D&D, but as magic of fucking with the rules recycling voodoo dolls to work on someone beside the intended target, somehow brewing a potion without the correct ingredients embody the phrase "what sorcery is this?"

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want a bookshelf with a rolling ladder?

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can glue thousands of googly eyes to lampposts. I can sit in the rafters and whisper secrets to spiders and bats. I can capture individual raindrops in tiny potion bottles and hand them out during parades. I can spend hours at a time thinking about the moon

It’s not that you have too many books. It’s that you don’t have enough bookshelves.

Self doubt is insidious. It’s like a parasite that hijacks your inner monologue and convinces you that you believe it.

Me a few years ago: “I want to play D&D!” Me now: “whoops all my characters are somehow facets of myself that I’m trying to work on.”
