Been seeing the “how do you break in” conversations floating around and I remember in my early days of just wanting to work in film all the conversations were about how to break in. Turns out the answer is just show up and do the work. Make friends. Be helpful.

I will continue posting until BtSE stops being amazing. We discovered my character is obsessed with coffee (which she couldn't have because coffeehouses were gendered! Boo gender!!) & showed solidarity with the working class via undermining a rival through a mistreated maid. What can't this game do?

We had a shopping session in Before the Season Ends today and it ended up being the most "trad"-feeling, min-max-y session I think it is possible to have in this game 😂 absolutely incredible jen-adcock15.itch.io/before-the-s...

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I am officially caught up, and yeah, it's fantastic. As someone who fell off the Actual Play wagon a while ago, this is like a breath of fresh air. Go listen to it!!

I had a lot of driving to do today, so I finally got around to @manysidedmedia.bsky.social 's much talked about Project ECCO podcast, and let me tell you, the hype is real. So, so cool, pushing boundaries on what we consider Actual Play, and engaging as a listener trying to keep track of it all.

I was going to say "what if I made an RPG where one of the classes was 'BladeGun' but all of the ways they interact with the world are negative & escalatory, & every other character is comparatively positive & well adjusted" but then the entire game would be managing the worst player at your table

“This “privacy for me, surveillance for thee” attitude feels like a perfect encapsulation of the future we’re already living in: one where wealthy elites can afford privacy, while the rest of us are forced to live in a corporate surveillance panopticon.” www.ms.now/opinion/tayl...

Opinion | Taylor Swift was able to buy her privacy at MSG. What about the rest of us?

Reports that Madison Square Garden temporarily shut off its facial recognition system for Swift’s wedding expose a glaring problem with how the elite wield and control mass surveillance.

I've been working on Mousetrap since October. It's my most ambitious and complex game yet, so playtesting has been slow, in odd chunks, and with extra clunk. But I'm thinking the core pieces may have fallen into place today, thanks to collaborators/playtesters. More to go. But lots of progress.

Today @jenkatwrites.bsky.social @sociable-turtle.bsky.social and I playtested @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social 's new game, "Mousetrap." It was a fantastic experience and a mental workout - and yet another game I adore by Asa! Here are some preliminary thoughts (we are not done playing). 1/

In this picture, the first page of the game Mousetrap by Asa Donald is shown on the screen of a black laptop, which rests on a wooden table next to a notebook with some handwritten notes and a picture of Kronborg Castle in Helsingør, Denmark show on a second screen.
