Against the Crimson queen returns tonight! After a pitched battle against goblin invaders, the party are bloodied and bruised. But there is no time to rest and so they must push on once more, deeper into the Shadowdark...

To all my fellow TTRPG publishing folks (or creators of all kinds, really), make sure you avail of this *phenomenal* deal while you have the chance. Unlimited commercial use of over $18,000 worth of fonts for under $20? Insane! You've got until Sunday to snag 'em!

Another excellent piece by the Journal on trans healthcare in Ireland. The "National Gender Service" sends threatening letters to GPs to stop trans people easily accessing blood tests which are a routine safety measure when taking hormones. I know it's hard to believe but it's true! #speirgorm

I'm both excited and reticent to return to Candlekeep tonight after what went down last session... The aftermath is gonna be a doozie!

It's starting to feel a bit real and the excitement is beginning to bubble! On Friday night, I'll be GMing Blades in Dark with @emeraldcollective.bsky.social live on stream. Sharing the game I love with the people I like!

On Nakba Day as Israel continues its relentless genocide of the Palestinian people, join Mahmoud Nawaja, General Coordinator of the Palestinian BDS Movement, for an urgent discussion on Ireland’s role in the global struggle for Palestinian liberation. May 15th, 7.15pm, Pearse Centre, Dublin 2

On the subject of me forgetting to self-promo😅🤭 Did you know I have a ton of modules and settings and stuff for D&D 5e? Like this lawless treetop setting & adventure inspired by Romani (ie - my own) culture, history and mythos? With ✨HUMAN ART✨ legacy.dmsguild.com/product/4090...

I've added about 50 new images + variations to my public domain art pack. This set of images are all edits of the work of Johann Wagner and are mostly castles, ruins, and a few other structures like arches, bridges and towns. seedling.itch.io/modified-pub...

Don't mind me, just passing my time as we slide gradually into a dystopian future by forcing Google's AI to make a meta-commentary about itself.

Henry Blodget? I have no idea who this fucking loser is, but he has the name of a Roald Dahl character.

There are times when my conviction that every other human being is possessed of a rich inner life shaped by their experience of the world is tested to its limits.

Been looking forward to getting back to our main campaign. Left on quite a cliffhanger! 💣💥💀 It's in the dice's hands now! 🎲

Pavee Point have launched this handy portal for Traveller arts and cultural projects. You can find projects by type, or by organisation, and find projects near you! Real neat. www.paveepoint.ie/artsmapping/

So Google's latest consent violation is them generating "AI" audio of your voice in YouTube as an opt-out "service." Here's how to turn it off (original images reposted with alt text):

For the French speakers, the Frogspeak edition of Shadowdark (translated by the one and only Sandy Julien) is crowdfunding on GoTT. www.gameontabletop.com/cf4861/shado...

We are a day away from our next amazing guest! But who is @tallnerdapollo.bsky.social playing and what do they have to do with the Temple of Power? Join us tomorrow 7pm BST/8pm CEST as we join our friends on a new chapter of our story! #tabletoproleplay #actualplay #ttrpg #dnd #5e

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.

British trans people have a common travel area with Ireland, btw. You can live and work here without a visa or any other requirements.

Here's the stock art getting down at the end of the month, so this is the best time to get them at their best price. After that, these posts will be available only for purchase. www.patreon.com/posts/posts-... #ttrpg #stockart #indierpg

Cool people, cool chat www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIyG...

And that's that! Congrats to Emmet on a successful project, it's well deserved. And over 1000% funded to boot!

Four hours to go on this and my adventure is suddenly within sight. I want to do D&D meets At-Swim-Two-Birds…. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/oldoakgames/beyond-the-woods-old-school-exploration-and-survival-for-5e

With just 4 hours left on the clock, Beyond the Woods is SOOO close to hitting its final stretch goal! I think we can get it there if we spread the good word! As an Irish creator, its been so encouraging to see a book like this succeed. It's a true love letter to our history and folklore.

We are LIVE!

An absolute legend whose critiques are, sadly, still relevant (if not more relevant) to this day. Some of my personal favourites include "So Long, Mom", "National Brotherhood Week", and "Pollution", but that's only scratching the surface. Happy Birthday, Tom, have a jello shot for me! 🥃
