@kendomakesfilms.bsky.social should be James Bond Now that might sound like I love my cool friend and am humorously hyping them up, and I am, but I am also deeply serious. Kendo should be James Bond
The Independent@the-independent.com · 8h agoJames Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’
the one downside about making an indie TTRPG is that I'm deeply uncool and y'all are about to find that out
I'm hesitant to post this bc I feel like I'm gonna jinx it, but if all goes according to plan I *should* be going to PAX U this year. I'm not *certain* yet because of finances, but I'm trying to do everything I can to be there
this is the only instagram engagement I care about (my gramma)
Great summary of a long, slow breakdown at the altar of Line Goes Up. EUphoria is a class act.
Michelle Kelly@michellicopter.bsky.social · yesterdayI've been really enjoying creating these essay-type videos - researching, scripting, learning how to edit. A few people have referred to this one as 'journalism' which I find unsettling for various reasons but I understand it was intended as a compliment. Anyway you should watch it, it's good
Daddy: "Okay kiddo, you know it's primary election day today in a lot of places? Not Colorado though. You remember ours was a few weeks ago? I'll give you a thousand points if you can tell me one person who's a candidate today." Kiddo: "Count Binface?"
To be clear: If “TTRPGs” in your scholarship, teaching, & outreach start & end with D&D — or even GMed games — that’s a skill issue you need to reconsider. You’re gonna get left behind.
If I’m the villain in your story please @ me so we can decide together if I should learn my lesson or double down
Ciera "Panda" 🔜 PAX U@ragepandapajamas.bsky.social · yesterdayJust coming to conscious thought of the day. We are the heroes of our own stories even if we are a villain in another's story. The Science of Storytelling by Will Storr is a great book. I'm halfway through
Imagine a social network that prioritized interacting with your friends and only that
I'd say the real reason all the establishment and centrist Dems are kicking and screaming is because the progressives have pulled back the curtain of plausible deniability on their latently-simmering conservatism, but hey, what do I know
no cheating, post your lock screen

I gotta say, I really don't enjoy live-streaming actual play (there are exceptions, and I LOVE live-streaming other stuff). But getting to do it on stage was a little magical. I'm not convinced it was for the AUDIENCE, but it was for me.
Scheduling is hard, but you can do it together. The rest is easy.
Jordan@gm-jordan.bsky.social · 2d agoI really need people to stop saying that running tabletop role playing games is hard. Truly, madly, deeply it is not hard. Basically anyone can do it.

I want to be clear, I want Rascal to survive, and I am a subscriber for that very reason. But please know they are not the only ones writing about TTRPGs. There are many of us and we matter too. I'll make a list once I'm not on the road.
Being the finance lead for rascal the last year has been a gradually worsening job, only because I have to be the bearer of bad news each month as the global economy gets worse and worse. If you want Rascal to continue to exist for years to come, we need your support

This should say “…running team building exercises…” My fingers were imprecise.
Whatever art you’re making? You should make it as weird as you want to and you should charge more for it.

Since moving out of the arts, literally no one has ever asked me to do my work for free the way I was CONSTANTLY asked to do my job for free when I worked in the arts. The expectation that creative professionals provide their labor to you for free is WILD.
A trend I was feeling all weekend was the desire to not feel like a commodity. When being a fan means stripping a person down to a collectable they can feel it. More people want to talk deeply about their work and the passion they feel for it.
One of my goals was to just connect and not ask much of people beyond just talk about what we love doing. I think I was very successful. Sure a few interviews happened, one in particular I think has changed my mind on some things and I can't wait to publish it.
Ciera "Panda" 🔜 PAX U@ragepandapajamas.bsky.social · 3d agoI'm blown away. Truly. The people I got to talk with this weekend, old and new, I feel so loved. I don't think 20's me would believe we would ever get here but damnit we are.
Next year I’m organizing a friendcon. 4 days a year isn’t enough.
