Doing my good Catholic duty and watching the AP's live feed of the Sistine Chapel chimney.

How is Andor SO GOOD?!

Just got the last pieces ordered I need for my Old World Lizardmen army. There were only a couple of units I still needed to get up to 2k points. Now just to paint it all.

I'm going to rob a stagecoach, get into a barroom brawl, all while promised we're going to Tahiti by the gang leader.

Where are the board game SRDs? In which I ponder if the idea of a board game SRD or third-party license makes any sense. And if so, what would be required to create a culture of hacking and remixing in the board game industry: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/board-game... #boardgames #ttrpg

I just put out a new micro-RPG, meant to be played in a single session, about leaving the big city and heading home to the countryside. I hope you enjoy. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #RPG

My toxic 40k trait is I consider the Tau to be a new faction to the game, despite them being in 40k longer than they weren't. But I consider the Necrons, which had their army book released 2 years later, to be a core part of the game. I'm not talking about the lore here, just as actual armies.

In the studio working some orders. Some folk suggested I do the Spotfund thing again, so I guess I'm at that point. Sigh. Doing my best. spot.fund/TryingToAvoi...

D&D 4th Edition was perfectly fine, just had tonal issues that went against expectations for D&D. We really need to bring UX/UI experts in to completely rethink rulebook layout and ESPECIALLY character sheets. So much is done the way it is because that's what Gygax and Arneson did.

The average American has three friends.

Cozy Fae River Adventures.

I just found out that LotteWorld opened a theme park in Busan, not far from where I lived. I went to LotteWorld up in Seoul, but it was a multi-day excursion to go. I loved it. And now I really wish I was back in Busan.

Easy, easy answer. That Thing You Do.

Prepping some pieces for etching, working on some new designs for future etchings. Wheel never stops turning. Todays product highlight is my Dungeon master Scotch glass. ko-fi.com/s/ee39820e6b I'm at 14% of my fundraising for back due rents. Listing personal items for sale locally. Doing my best.

We were likely too easy on the Nazis. We should have prosecuted more and yes, executed more. I get some reasons why this was deemed impractical. Some of them even are somewhat compelling, but it doesn't change that we didn't crush fascist white supremacy hard enough. Need to try harder this time.

People who believe Grey Jedi can and do exist are the Sovereign Citizens of the Star Wars community.

Last night, Cyrano, one of our black cats, decided to run across one of my feet in a panic, so he had all his claws out, and SHREDDED the top of my foot. Blood everywhere. Luckily, we've got an EMT in the house, so Bridget patched me up, but now I'm limping around the house.

On this day 80 years ago, Benito Mussolini was executed by an Italian partisan in Giulino di Mezzegra, then hung from the Piazzale Loreto in Milan the following day. Happy Mussolini Execution Day to all who celebrate.

I’ve been writing out a few game system mechanics and settings I want to create, to make some 8-16 page rule sets. I think I’m going to start getting these written up and put out on Itch, once a month, soon.

For people who love BTS Star Wars stuff, Adam Savage got to go look at the Onyx Cinder model: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0aR...

Easy

Important correction: this suicide hotline is specifically for trans/NB people to speak to a trans/NB hotline worker. It’s also the Canadian number. The US number they offer is 1-877-565-8860. And it is, again, not a general suicide hotline.

Are you KIDDING ME?! I SWORE the moment of the reveal in the new Who episode. The callback to my first episode of Doctor Who ever. Also, Belinda is my favorite companion in YEARS.

I've added about 50 new images + variations to my public domain art pack. This set of images are all edits of the work of Johann Wagner and are mostly castles, ruins, and a few other structures like arches, bridges and towns. seedling.itch.io/modified-pub...

Today kicks off the start of our monthly Star Trek: SNW era campaign. While exploring a star cluster, the crew discovers that the star Delta Pegasi is rapidly losing luminosity. Sensor readings indicate the presence of an invisible miniature black hole siphoning energy from the star.

Me, a Catholic convert, rubbing the bridge of my nose: “fuckin’ Catholic converts…”

Hey peeps! I'm going to be running Save the Day Batman: The Animated Series tomorrow and it looks like lots of spaces just opened up to sign up. If you are in the area and free around 1:30 pm I'll be running the game at Ragnarok XP ! tabletop.events/conventions/...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Enjoying the music of the Riverlands.

America’s messiest bitch has gone down

People who keep saying Cyril is the bottom and Daedra is the top don’t know how those relationships work.

I was just thinking about the game show on 30 Rock, “Gold Case,” and it made me giggle.

The "Just Use Bears or Wolves" idea has shifted into a bestiary of 12 archetypes that fit nearly any monster/creature role you could need! Handy for both quick improvisation and worldbuilding. System-agnostic principles, applied to Block, Dodge, Parry & Cairn! dicegoblingames.itch.io/bears-wolves...
