Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

This month we're talking about games with a social/political message. It's not JUST because it's Pride Month in the USA, and it's not JUST because tariffs are wreaking havoc on the board game industry...but it's not NOT because of those things, either. www.ascentofboardgames.com/e/episode-72...

Just got a fantastic character portrait commission back from @neralisarts.bsky.social and can't recommend their work highly enough. I got step-by-step sketches and frequent requests for feedback, and they adapted to all my nit-picky notes without complaint. Two stained glass thumbs up! #fantasyart

#TTRPG line of the night, from @jasoncordova.bsky.social running Trophy Dark on www.twitch.tv/thirdfloorwars: "You're a vessel, so what does that mean? Are you being emptied or are you being filled?"

What’s the cover art that got you started in the TTRPG hobby? Here’s mine. (I was hooked on the hobby from day one.)

URGENT: if anyone has seen or found a huge (A2) sized folder in the parking lot of MCM London, Excel Arena please let me know. We unfortunately left all our A3 prints behind as we were going back home and this is financially devastating. Please also RT so this can reach further.

CALLING ALL BLACK GMS & PLAYERS I want to put together a little Juneteenth stream this year celebrating Black TTRPG designers. Do you want to run, play in, or help produce games as part of this event? The goal would be giving money to Black creators. Reply as I gauge interest

We're back, and so is Brian's voice! We finish our digression into TTRPGs (including lots of love for @bullypulpithq.bsky.social and @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social ). Come back for more of our traditional board game nonsense next month! www.ascentofboardgames.com/e/episode-71...

Traditionally, I believe that day is the day when your editor says "I swear to god if I don't get that manuscript TODAY I'm trashing the whole project." Or maybe that's just me.

Saw Sinners tonight, and I give it two thumbs WAY up. Avoiding spoilers, it reminds me of what a particular mid-90s horror classic could have been. Great misdirection, clever psychological scenes, fantastic soundtrack, brilliant cast. Go see it.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times, using GIFs. Hard mode: no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LotR.

I need someone good at photomanipulation and digital art to add an element to an old B&W pic. I expect it's probably only an hour or so, but I need it within a few days. US $50 paid on delivery. If you take it on and my estimate is dumb, we'll figure it out. Please DM a link to samples. Thx!

Hey @blueprincegame.bsky.social - I'm having a DELIGHTFUL time with Blue Prince. I rolled credits over the weekend, but have spent twice as much time in the game since then, and still have so much more to unlock. Are there any plans to release the game's soundtrack?
