One of my longtime friends I made after leaving college is trans. We talked Warhammer and tabletop games. Eventually her and her wife invited me to work on a game they were working on.

Sword World is a roll 2d6 high JTRPG

inside you there are two sewers.

In theory it can hurl a ball across the yard

I tried to blog recently, but man my brain just wants to escape into RPGs because I can't really articulate my thoughts beyond "Fuck... man... Right? You wanna go pretend to be an elf for a few hours?"

dear lord what a goddamn trailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=khPk...

MAGNETO WAS RIGHT

Sure people are hunting Monsters, but I would like to play a lot of Space Marine 2 with people... We can shoot Trygons

Excited to announce that we've crossed the $50,000 threshold for #TransRightsBundle25! Let's see how far we can go in the second half of this campaign! I'm setting an ambitious next goal: $100,000. I think we can hit it!

My original intention of taking on painting commissions was to use that money to buy models for games... What I'm actually doing with it is just buying fancy Magic the Gathering cards and RPG rulebooks.

NMM gold guide 1. Start with grey primer. 2. Base: English Uniform. 3. Highlight - Yellow Ochre and shadow Chocolate Brown. 4. Use Beige paint the brights, Chocolate Brown to outline details. 5. Paint points of light with Ivory, deep shadows Black. #wargaming #miniatures #PaintingWarhammer

Any sufficiently advanced magic is indistinguishable from technology ;-)

Today has sucked ass but I built some models tonight, and now I'm watching Fun and Fancy Free.

A course being offered like this in my college could have changed my entire career trajectory. We had a game theory course in the college of business, and some of the poli-sci classes flirted with roleplaying scenarios, but a dedicated history of RPG course? God I wish.

NO ONE should be sent to El Salvador, you baby-brained losers. My God.

I need a fringed jacket like Macho Man so I can do promos for XCrawl Classics games.

HHH being a huge Trump guy is the least surprising thing given everything else about HHH the man and character.

Can't believe I'm going to need a statue of the Patron Saint of Gamers on my PC to hit 60fps on a game my computer isn't strong enough to handle.

I think I have like 2-3 Columbus follows/followers and my millennial ass early internet brain is like "Clearly we should meet in meat space." Note: I once left MCO airport on a 6 hour layover to meet @cyporiean.bsky.social and @mashforxp.bsky.social to play wargames. I could have been kidnapped lol

To the people who think racist authoritarians should be posting more on Bluesky: What the actual fuck is wrong with you, fuck off with that mealy-mouth "both sides" bullshit, thank you for your attention, now go fuck yourselves

Belmont Tools

@mtg-aaron.bsky.social and @wheeler.bsky.social might be my favorite deck builders in 100 card singleton formats. Every deck these two put out in a podcast or a YT video immediately makes me go "I must build this."

Just bought this...

World is hard and cruel, but bed is soft and warm.

i keep thinking about this

Took a Golgari Food Chain deck to Premodern tonight and went 3-1. Deck did not feel great as a food chain deck, but being able to just jam big disrupting fatties and make them have the answer felt nice too.

I have an urge to run XCrawl, Swords & Wizardry, 2e AD&D, DCC Lankhmar, and Call of Cthulhu... I have too many hobbies.

"This weekend, John Oliver did something surprisingly rare in mainstream media: he dedicated 42 minutes to a thoughtful, well-researched segment on transgender athletes in sports that cut through the hysteria and political opportunism dominating this conversation. www.readtpa.com/p/send-this-...

@nyxnocturne.bsky.social

made this little Link's Awakening pixel art tribute couple years back, never posted it here 4 colors, 160x144px

Just finished the first episode of season 7 of Game Changer and I have one thing... @samreich.bsky.social THAT WAS THE SEASON PREMIERE THAT HAS SEASON FINALE ENERGY WHAT THE FUCK?!

Reorganized my #DCCRPG and related Crawl Classics modules and books today. I think I am missing the original Purple Planet stuff (that's okay, Tome of Adventure covers me), and then DCC RPG 76.5, 91.1, 91.2, 92.5, and I guess 107 (which may cover me on some of those missing ones).

My local shop has sealed packs of Visions and this better not awaken anything in me... The Mirage packs they have are insanely priced... I haven't asked about Visions.

At this rate MAGA will only be able to afford to rent the libs.

Suzie Toot got robbed.
