The ethnonationalists are back in power in my home state. Given that our state poll was a litmus test for the country---it is likely that the (neo-)liberal Pakatan Harapan govt might go come the general election. 1/ theedgemalaysia.com/node/812974

PH concedes defeat in Negeri Sembilan with 11 seats, blames identity politics

Pakatan Harapan (PH) has conceded defeat in Negeri Sembilan with 11 seats in the state, blaming its failure to retain the state on identity politics played by its opponents.

Did my civic duty and voted in the state elections, today. My voting station was in the primary school I attended as a boy. At recess I used to sit among the roots of this old tree, and stare through the leaves waving in the wind, waiting for something---something!

Just pulling together this month's SCRIPT CLUB which will be going out (likely) tonight, so there's time to jump on. To kick off the 20th Anniversary month, it's the script for issue 1 of Phonogram: Rue Britannia. There's an upgrade link in the latest newsletter. buttondown.com/KieronGillen...

Today's shadow puppet: a civet cat, one of the neighbourhood loverboys whose mating calls sound at midnight like the keen of a restless ghost. (Designed by @chincarok.bsky.social , for her upcoming art exhibition in September!) #localfauna

I can barely see any mighty thews. The new Dark Sun needs three times more abs and deltoids.

Really, *really* dislike what I'm seeing of the new Dark Sun. OG Dark Sun had some seriously cool, *very relevant* themes (life under tyranny, life after genocide, life after ecocide) + bondage glam rock Jojo-pose aura-farming. This new stuff is busy-gore + generic metal + cyberpunk (???) Urgh.

Not my usual post but this is important and close to my heart. Women's Street Watch Middlesbrough is a volunteer service that helps women get home safely on nights out. They need donations and help to keep the lights on. Support if you can and spread the word. www.facebook.com/reel/1528146...

Made this shadow puppet today. An angry mynah comes alive! (This is for @chincarok.bsky.social 's exhibition in September.)

greek myths (spot art I am posting shortly to here : www.patreon.com/c/ABestiarya... and comradery.co/amandalee (free to use for your books & games & etc)

sphinx (coming soon to patreon/comradery, plus a bunch more mythological creatures)

So, I got into tabletop games by hanging out at a friend's game shop. (I'd met him while clubbing.) This was a fairly typical FLGS. 40K, Friday Night Magic, a coupla V:TM tables. The core group of dudes where old uni mates. These were true-blue grognards. They used to play Napoleonics. 1/

Also: You folks trying to explain the textureless "always evil pig orc" via pointing out that TTRPGs come from wargames--- I don't get why this explains anything. Tabletop wargamers *fucking love* texture. These are the guys who make up silly backstories for each 28mm figure they have!

What's the deal with games needing monsters you can kill with no remorse? I keep seeing TTRPGs touting this in their marketing ... There was Obojima, a while back; now Deathbringer with its pig-faced orcs. I genuinely don't get this! What desire is being served here---and whose? 1/

As for why vidya doesn’t scratch that itch, it’s simple - vidya doesn’t ask them to respect the enemies. those enemies are incapable of interaction or sociality, they’re just objects and no one really disagrees with that. But rpg characters have a kind of life that cannot be so easily dismissed

LotR focused entirely on how "good guys" behave when faced with evil. His evil was not morally complex at all, but the reaction to it was. And even when the focus is on a battle and a hero plowing through a horde of orcs, it's NEVER because that hero enjoys the release of uncomplicated violence.

Clever clever squirrel jump, at last fall to the ground also. The rest of my year will be occupied making shadow puppets. Some for my next book---but first some for @chincarok.bsky.social 's show in September!

a lot of people were asking for this, weve put previews of the rulebook, the grimoire, and the necromancer's codex up on the seven-part pact kickstarter page so people can get a sense of how the game plays www.kickstarter.com/projects/sjg...
