Listening to @rascal.news radio hour talking about crediting of designers vs publishers. Really appreciate them talking about power dynamics wrt smaller/newer designers, and credits as a labour issue as much as anything else.
im sorry, hello mr and mr d&d man, are the two of u not aware that the blood war was a war between the baatezu and the tanar'ri? i do not understand why u would change the title of an official d&d product from "the great war" to "the blood war" if not to actually invoke THE blood war?
excited to see more of molly millions' hands
next week at Gencon, possum creek will be hosting our yearly unofficial pizza party in the Omni Severin lobby on Thursday July 30th at 7pm! come hang out, eat cheap pizza, play little games, and gossip
*EARLY HEADS UP!* I’ll be at Gencon again this year! Next weekend- July 30th- Aug 2nd!! ART SHOW #52 Also honored to be the guest spot artist for the official merch this year!!! Will post pics over the next few days!! AAAAAA!!!
GenCon is in less than a week so I haven't committed yet to writing a new school or thesis for Shaz, but here's how the conversion turned out
Okay, I finished off PF2 Shaz's build and spells last night. She is a wizard (School of Gates) with the Spell Trickster, Rogue, and Acrobat archetypes, loaded up with spells that primarily target AC so she can use rogue tumble behind to make enemies off-guard against her spells.
I'll be at Gen Con this year with the prototype for my storytelling game Interstellar Incident—find me to try it out, especially if you're a publisher looking for something cooperative, richly narrative, and highly approachable.
MAKEUP DRAMA For years Urban Decay sold the gold standard of makeup setting spray products, Urban Decay All Nighter. All Nighter was created in a manufacturing partnership between UD and Skindinavia, who holds the patent for the formula. After 15 years UD chose to end the partnership and...
To collect some data for this card project that will be helpful down the road, I would love to know which cards are people’s favorites So! If you want to help me out drop a reply with your favorites, either as a list or circling the image is fine. Tier em out if you like but whatever’s easiest
We should all be extremely suspicious of anyone assuming stances that are pro-tech or pro-AI but also anti-"screens". "Screentime" as the term we've adopted for discussing problematic phone or computer use, or children access to tech, makes us vulnerable to wearables pretending they solve something.
Guess what, folks? After a long, blessed spring/summer lull, COVID-19 is picking up again in Indianapolis (and elsewhere), just in time for #GenCon. The ventilation at ICCLOS is NOT adequate to handle Gen Con's crowds. Do yourself and others a favor: use azelastine and MASK UP.

Been thinking lately about how TTRPG adventure fantasy looks and feels different if we were to use black music and art for clear aesthetic and influence with representation. Before we start: you there, the one who is going to shove a bunch of references or ppl in my face! Don't do that.

Bosco's Marvelous Miss Gender was fantastic, I would see it if it comes to your city. If you have a car, I'd drive a couple hours if it comes to a city nearby. It's in the absolute top tier of drag performer stage productions for me, perhaps even THE top show. I love Bosco so much.
Reveal Machinations: a hilarious skill feat in Pathfinder 2e that lets you make up some absolutely wild lies to mess with other creatures.
Okay, I finished off PF2 Shaz's build and spells last night. She is a wizard (School of Gates) with the Spell Trickster, Rogue, and Acrobat archetypes, loaded up with spells that primarily target AC so she can use rogue tumble behind to make enemies off-guard against her spells.
What would you do converting this character from PF1 to PF2? What class and archetypes would you use?
I am a judge candidate for the 2027 Ennies and voting closes tomorrow. I did maybe a subpar job of selling myself in my application, so I'm going to talk rq in this thread about myself and my history with RPGs (boring, I know). vote.ennie-awards.com/vote/2026/
Before voting, please take the time to familiarize yourself with the products and judges. Clicking on a product's title will take you to its publisher's websites, allowing you to learn more about that product.

It’s really cool how you simultaneously feel like the high-level, Mythic, superheroes you’ve become, while still facing legitimately challenging threats and obstacles that *feel* appropriate to heroes of your stature. No “DC 40 to Climb the masonry walls” here! Make like Superman and punch reality!
* Navigate the multiverse through the sheer power of your force of will alone * Close a portal by shattering the threads connecting two planes with your sword, fuck off wizards * Kiss Areelu Vorlesh (her mouth is full of locusts tho)
Can confirm all of these, and they’re *glorious*
In Pathfinder Adventure Path #221: Into the Apocalypse Archive (Revenge of the Runelords 3 of 3), you can... * Solve your inconveniences by going to another plane * Debate Peter Thiel Lovecraft Monster * Talk to a cat * Raid Sorshen's closet
