Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

Was interviewed about the Rainy City zines I’ve helped produce by Phillip Reed (former CEO of @stevejacksongames.bsky.social & prolific TTRPG creator/crowdfunder). Check it out at his Quest for Zines campaign on Kickstarter. We had a great convo about SNP’s production process w/ the Rainy City.

If it looks like there are two different fonts on this clay tablet from ancient Babylon, that’s because there are. In December of 603 BCE, a young scribe named Balāṭa made a faithful copy of a far more ancient inscription of Sîn-Kashid who had ruled Uruk over 1,000 years earlier.

One of the cool things for me about running a series of related crowdfunding campaigns over the years is that I start to recognize the names of repeat backers when they back again. We have a small, dedicated following with the Rainy City, and it’s great to see their enthusiasm for what we make.

This are not space rations They are vacuum sealed space RPGs The Outer Rim Uprising Insurgent bundle tier The higher tiers come in a box, and I felt bad this one didn't have a nice wrapper, so I experimented a bit and opted for vacuum sealing (also from a logistical point of view it's pretty handy)

As someone who has very little ttrpg experience aside from some Pathfinder & one solo journaling game - coincidentally, that solo game was created by fellow player @cyborgurl.bsky.social - I gotta say that participating in an actual play was uniquely terrifying! But I had a good time!

yes! the idea that the executive can simply make spending decisions independent of a legislature or parliament is basically antithetical to the entire anglo-american political tradition

"Gulf of America" is just a loyalty test. It's a way of checking who is going to abrogate reality for no reason other than a cowardly refusal to stand up to the bully or an opportunistic willingness to toady up to one. Anyone who will call it that will help you round people up or look the other way.

My rep is such a piece of shit. Clearly not interested in Elon Musk taking away all his power as a member of Congress. Very interested in kissing ass.

At PAXU last year, I interviewed @gregisonthego.bsky.social about his currently crowdfunding Keep the Faith after taking part in a demo. It's exactly the shit I come to tabletop games to find, a beautiful mixture of competitive board game design and storytelling in service of interrogating religion

All Americans should learn the origins & meanings of the words "Quisling" & "Vichy." I fear that they're going to be handy in the next few years.

If you’re curious to know how it’s going in higher ed, I just proposed a class called “How to Read a Book” because Common Core standards in the US don’t require students to read whole books and lots of them now get to college without ever having read one.

"Musk isn't going to obey the law, so who cares." "The Supreme Court will just throw out the case, so who cares." "Republicans aren't going to let us have elections, so who cares." I'm blocking these people on sight now. Doomerist defeatism isn't helping anyone here. Log off and touch grass.
