It’s just bleak that there’s a considerable amount of people who are like “thank goodness the worlds richest human being is stopping the tyranny of the consumer financial protection bureau and that guy who collects atmospheric data”

I feel like several generations have heard the story of the emperor's new clothes and imagined themselves as the emperor rather than the masses who played along, and thereby took away a fairly incomplete lesson.

Today isn’t the last day/week to download your gaming PDFs. But maybe do that anyway? Make multiple local backups? Put one of them inside a faraday cage? No reason.

I posted the second update for Going For Broke's crowdfunding campaign today! It's about—bizarrely, of all things—getting back into wargames in 2018. And more specifically, how the release model of making rules available for free online played a pivotal role. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

Mine is Meridian, a Game of Journeys Wondrous and Fantastical. It's my magnum opus, an ode to portal stories like The Neverending Story, Labyrinth, Alice in Wonderland, and Ink. Even just reading the evocative prompts and locales makes me smile every time. cwgriffen.itch.io/meridian

Look, given that talking publicly about what we and others are doing about All This can often be a bad idea right now, can we all just agree to give each other the benefit of the doubt by default? Silence on socials doesn't mean inaction or complicity.

TTRPG folks, do you have any examples of crunchy freeform? Like... games with complex ability trees and lots of knobs and levers, or intricately structured story frames, but at the centre it's all vibes-based or narratively-guided resolution?

Game makers: I've got some help on my latest game. I've got a willing collaborator who can write, edit, and do art. They want to pitch in. But I'm really bad at collaborating! So, how do you take advantage of willing help (that includes paid help)? What are your do's and don'ts of collaboration?

I feel like the mainstream media has a lot of responsibility for the mess we're in, between making a spectacle of Trump that they are financially invested in, and extolling the "tech geniuses" who "disrupt" entire industries with their "unique and novel" approaches.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Also, just a bit of a plug for Thoughtcrime Games in general: It's a black-owned (it's me!) TTRPG company that makes games on a wide range of topics. We have a lot of pwyw microrpgs on thoughtcrimegames.itch.io that you should definitely try!

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

I hear the Swordsfall guy is peeping back up. With all of that, I have one request: don't do a "bad ones /good ones" with that creator and other black creators. I am not doing my thing to be in opposition to other black creators, or be the good one to be picked in place of another one.

Most Black folks knew this nonsense was coming. It's wrong, but we've always had to hustle, so I feel like collectively we'll be all right. But I also can't help thinking that a whole lot of white people, deprived of the "DEI" excuse, are about to get a wake-up call about their own mediocrity.

Tough nut on all sides of this. Indie creators don't have the resources. Journalists don't have the resources. Bloggers are met with sneering condescension outside existing readership. Indie Game Reading Club has been as loud as one person, occasional guest writers, and a small Patreon can be. 🧵
