Never thought I'd see Brennan Lee Mulligan's face on a CBC article!
Eric Michael Johnson@ericmjohnson.bsky.social Β· yesterdayWhy are thousands paying to watch D&D live? I spoke with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social about actual play, authenticity and visibility. My CBC News feature also includes @ecfriedman.com, Abdul Aziz, @jesslupini.bsky.social and @emcarlson.bsky.social of @blackwaterdnd.bsky.social. #TTRPG #DnD5e
Y'ALL check out this knitting pattern my wife made!!! You can make a Fall sweater for IKEA's mini DJUNGELSKOG, and it's free to download! #knitsky
Emma@shroomhunter.bsky.social Β· last mo.Wrote a knitting pattern and hiked the hardest hike of my life this weekend. It's a mini top down raglan, designed to fit IKEAβs Small Djungelskog teddy bear. I was inspired by the Bartholomew Bear by Jellycat. The pattern is free β°οΈβΊπ§Ά www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #knitsky #knitting #pattern
Organizational hack: 1. Go to a camera store and ask for "gaffers tape"; it's easy to tear by hand, not too sticky, and doesn't leave residue when removed. 2. Go to an art store and buy a white POSCA pen (+any other color you want). They're expensive outside of Japan but worth it. 3. Label away!
Made an adult purchase this week [bought a printer]
My mum is an avid calligrapher, and my main project the last couple days has been designing a rather unique 3D-printable nib for a dip pen at her request.
Ah yes, spelling mistakes! (This is a test of using my phone camera to get scans of handwritten text for the RPG)
Trying trying trying to get better at this RPG art stuff

Learning to draw so I can make RPG art for myself, exhibit 3.
nerds love to learn one set of social rules when they 15 years old, then spend the next 30 years pretending those rules are immutable eternal laws of how people interrelate
Figuring out how to draw so I can make RPG art for myself.
Mythbusters, but it's people who try out the shenanigans that players try to convince you they could do. "I could totally throw a rope up to a third story window if I had a rock tied to it!" "I could make a torch out of a rag and a stick on the ground, no problem"
This is the smartest thing on the Internet today.
Scott Santens@scottsantens.com Β· 5mo agoAfter reading this newest essay of mine, one of my readers said via email, "This is probably the best article I've ever read advocating for UBI. And one of the best you've ever written." If you haven't read it yet, please do. Maybe you will feel the same way. π² www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...
I'd already considered @explorersdesign.bsky.social a legend in the RPG blog space, but eloquently bringing urban design ideas into an RPG context make this particular article of his an instant share: www.explorersdesign.com/5-urban-desi...
5 Rpg Ideas from Urban Design
Urban design is the art and science of shaping urban spaces. Let's steal from it.

RPG written explicitly to justify rolling as many dice as possible.
I've recently learned of a Japanese phrase, γθ±θ¦ (Ohanami), which refers to a picnic you have under a cherry blossom tree while looking at the flowers. πΈ
Day 4 of Paul photoshopping fictitious spacecraft into Artemis II images
Was awesome seeing so many women with visibly important jobs during the Artemis II landing yesterday. It's that sort of visibility which inspires today's children to go into STEM fields when they grow up, and I think the whole world will benefit from STEM being less male-dominated.
