Carney fights off harsh U.S. authoritarianism with slightly gentler Canadian authoritarianism

Years ago, I did an RPG show called Titansgrave. My idea was to tell a story, using an RPG and players, instead of a writer's room like traditional television. I am so proud of it! The system we used, Fantasy AGE, is fantastic. Its second edition is currently in the Bundle of Holding for ~$20.

It’s a Nazi bar.

I haven't been talking up my pal ‪@genesisoflegend.bsky.social ‬ 's game After The War enough. And with his crowdfunding campaign for Songfall Survivors, an ATW supplement, closing in a week it's time to rectify that. 🧵

“You didn’t give us enough praise therefore you don’t deserve rights,” is a very particular approach.

Ice House, Coldwell, Lake Superior Lawren Harris, 1923

First Patreon download of the week is up! It's a print-at-home zine game called So You Want to Leave the House and it's definitely not based on true events in my actual life. For $5/month you can get games like this and every other print-and-play game I make! patreon.com/jeeyonshim/m...

After selling out on Friday, "Sock Puppets" is back in stock! We also have one copy of the famous "Cartograph" left and our last 3 copies in the UK of "Home Mech x Kaiju" are on the table. Compose Dream Games is at booth 3A-762 at UKGE with a wide range of indie TTRPGs, mostly of Canadian design.

Oh yeah! Capping off the campaign with some party of one pod!!

The Wandering Blades campaign ends in 1 DAY and we are less than $2K away from hitting our 4th stretch goal. This means that I'll be digitizing my handwritten design notes and providing an annotated PDF of the design process to all backers! Also, we're less than 50 backers away from hitting 1,000!

I don’t know who is ready to hear this but people don’t have to add value Like people should also be allowed to exist for free

What? History Hit AND Dr. Eleanor Barraclough? Could this get better? Vikings! youtu.be/I5OeyH_SWD0?...

Thinking about the children whose families were subject to police raids because they had pirated the wrong songs

Hey!! Everyone reading this: If you care about Comic Book Creators, especially the aging older ones who've brought you all the great characters and stuff you love, PLEASE follow the @heroinitiative.bsky.social (That they only have 272 followers is shameful! Please help me get that number up!)

have had to tell a few people that non-binary people can be masc-presenting. that this kind of gatekeeping disqualifies a lot of amab bodies. this kind of discussion puts qualifiers on who gets to be non-binary and it's gross.

My family humoured me and we all went to the 4K restoration of Kurosawa Akira’s RAN at the Bytowne Cinema last night. So great. So much fun intro’ing my daughters to Kurosawa. www.bytowne.ca/movies/ran-4...

I needed that.

So…about AI’s energy use… “…to create a five-second video, a newer AI model uses ‘about 3.4 million joules, more than 700 times the energy required to generate a high-quality image’. That's the equivalent of running a microwave for over an hour.”

And only Luigi is being charged with murder

I have a daily reminder to call my dad. He died is 2019. I can’t bring myself to delete it. Those memories are nice. His struggles remind me how good I have it. My parents relationship remains something I aspire to with my wife. It really helps.

A legionnaire imposes French colonialism or is a member of the American Legion. A legionary follows a centurion.

AI is stupid and you should feel stupid for using it.

We're less than $2,000 away from hitting our SECOND STRETCH GOAL for Wandering Blades! When we hit this goal, @karagna.bsky.social will be producing more of their incredible art for the core rulebook! #osr #nsr #ttrpg

A new report finds the bottom 60% of U.S. households—or *two-thirds* of the population—can't afford a “minimal quality of life": housing, health care, and other necessities. "Indicators like GDP and unemployment tell us the economy is thriving. But they don’t reflect the reality of most Americans."
