This is why we like DCC so much, as it almost perpetually feels like this: impromptu.
Some of the best D&D games I’ve ever run were the ones where we decide to get together last minute just to roll dice. There’s something special about the magic of spontaneously coming together to play with little to no prep.
Excellent game journalism is unsurprisingly difficult to maintain. Please subscribe or help as you can.

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
"Lots of people are urgently wrestling with 'big questions' about the nature of reality. They want help from an expert, and they still believe that a public university is where they might find one." Good read on #religion and #reality from @thebaffler.com & @josephlaycock.bsky.social

Some people think religious studies isn't relevant to business or making money. But I got interviewed about "witchy side hustles." So there's that.

Rascal has been one of the best resources for my TTRPG students over the last few years. So please, step up, and support them as best you can.

"A study done in Phoenix done by Arizona State University found data centres can increase air temperatures by up to 4 degrees Fahrenheit in downwind neighbourhoods. The waste heat given off by one data centre as it cooled itself exceeded the amount produced by 40,000 households."
New research suggests data centers have an alarming and overlooked environmental impact: heat pollution. CNN's Laura Paddison reports.
DCC today: Upon finding large, oozing eggs in the bottom of the ship we were aboard, I proclaimed, "Ah, huevos del mar."

YUP! On @abraxasprecipic.bsky.social we are kicking off the Laconian occupation portion of #TheExpanse. A big question the university/R&D on the planet has is will its efforts be directed by this new government/empire? They know their research in astrodynamics will be of interest.
Given how our world (at least in N. America) is descending into a even worse distopian police state with things like flok cameras tracking people (not even license plates), black bagging agencies and more what inspirations have you used for your current games? #TTRPGQuestion #ttrpg #worldbuilding
@rascal.news mention! Just feeling a little hype-y. Also yes! @wargamer.com ‘s team is here live and they are doing fantastic work. I know @danarndtwrites.bsky.social and @ragepandapajamas.bsky.social are also doing some interviews here as well.

My brief take on the #DnD announcements: 🌌D&D Universes Beyond=5e-ification of everything 🏰Icons, I want this to be good, but not confident ☀️Dark Sun, all for it, but GOOD LUCK! 🥉3rd Parties doing major D&D IPs is interesting & pretty much all I'm excited for.
A reminder for everyone that SW5e, a fantastic complete Star Wars fan build for D&D 5e, already exists. For free. Maintained by a loving team of humans, and created by credited human artists.

Groan.... There is a lot that is not going well in this interview. There is no articulation of Satanism in this interview besides aesthetics. This interview is a disservice on so many levels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3Wf...

NEXT UP: The White Wolf panel. While V6 of Vampire: the Masquerade is all but confirmed, we're expecting to learn a lot more about how the game's creative director and lead designer are re-imagining the game. I'll be live-posting the crap out of this.
