Sometimes I feel like the world is racing by me and it's hard enough to just get the necessary things done in a week and WAIT WHERE DID THE LAST 6 MONTHS GO???
Remember kids, don't ever let the anti vaxxers tell you medicine isn't worth victory points.
As ever, this is another well researched and level headed piece delivered with just the right amount of humor we've come to expect from Alanah. If you wanna know what's going on in video game land, you should watch her stuff.
This took me several weeks to make because I went through several years worth of corporate/investor/earnings reports but... here it is! The actual, long-term reason Sony killed physical discs, and why they can't go back. youtu.be/_Znc7MVsSlg?...
It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society
There are legitimate ways to talk about genre and why you dislike it. This isn't it. Also, so many of these are full of layers of hidden depth and are the opposite of slop.
Misogyny is rampant on YouTube, I swear
At least there's ttrpgs and drinks. Today's been a day. 😪
I... what day is it? What is social media? Why am I so angry today?

It was backing this game. That's what I did. I backed this game. How you doing today?
Oh hey! It's this thing. I just... Hold on a sec ok I just...I just need to... I'll be right back I just need to do something real quick

SEVEN-PART PACT, my fantastical ornate TTRPG about powerful wizards, asymmetrical board games, and the pressures of masculinity is now launching on kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...
Been wondering these days about running a solo game of Wanderhome for myself, with the twist being that I build the story through reading tarot. A bit of a homebrew on its limited rules. My only problem is finding the time. Even with a play group of one, the ttrpg meme persists.
Me, reading Jung, realizing Sarah has long been ahead of the curve here inviting demons to tea.
Been looking forward to this. In recommendation, I have finally started reading Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia of Faeries.
Hope everyone is taking some time this weekend to rest. Cheers to the start of a nice few days off for all my American friends.

PAX has always given life to Sprites and Dice. It's where we've recharged and drawn inspiration from as we meet all kinds of people and play their games. This is disheartening news. If you're reading this and want to give PAX a piece of your mind, please contact them: paxquestions@reedexpo.com
With the nightmares for QTBIPOC in the United States right now, it is so so telling that @officialpax.bsky.social has decided that 2026 is the year to cut support and funding for The PAX Intersection & its PTI programs that made a PAX safer & life changing event for devs & attendees of color alike.

Been a while since I've done a #tarot card here, so why not talk about how I'm feeling these days. Art (in Thoth), or Temperance in the WS deck, is all about alchemical balance. It's a card about holding opposites and ultimately combining them. This can be a very difficult thing to do bc...

Something is happening tonight that's not happened for an age. We're playing Daggerheart again! And for once I've remembered to bring my spellbook mini for dice and a rolling tray.

Crunch-focused folk want new supplements, to give them more subsystems they can theorycraft on but never use. Storygames folk want new systems, to give them more genres they will turn into girlfailure yuri comedies. OSR folk want new adventures, to give them more rooms they will never dare enter.
A fantastic video I've just finished watching myself. PMG have always made incredible documentaries and this is no different. In fact, in their own words, this is even a step up from what you've seen in the past. A worthwhile watch!

I love when I make the same mistake twice but it's OK because making it the second time lead me to the solution to the problem that making it the first time put me in. 😅
