Remember when Discord tried to introduce NTFs, everyone cancelled their Nitro subscriptions until they reversed it. CANCEL YOUR NITRO and send them a feedback request. They don't care about public discourse until it hits their bottom line. support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

The only absolutely necessary art for my first adventure is done! It's also the first ink painting I've ever been happy with! Planning to do the layout this weekend, then (fingers crossed) release it for @drivethrurpg.com's GMs Day Sale. #ink #pathfinder2e #ttrpg

I actually like ranch, but a conversation with people who don't prompted this. If you torment your players with it, let me know how it goes. 😈 Feel free to sub in any sauce you/they don't like, removing or reskinning Curdle if it's not one that curdles. #TTRPGCrimes #EvilGM #EvilDM

We're looking for volunteers to help us manage Warhorn as part of a team! 1) Ruby back-end engineers to enhance it 2) JavaScript engineers for the front-end 3) We have front-end CSS volunteers already, but still speak up if you're interested! Send your interest to: [email protected]

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)

Me to @northerndreamer.bsky.social this morning: Aside from the GM handout, the writing on my adventure's done, which won't take long. Also me: Spends the next nine hours writing the handout and adjusting other writing in the adventure. 😒 #WritingProblems #ADHD #StupidPerfectionism

This is not an account for engaging in political discussion, but science and nature is kind of my whole schtick. So I am going to defend it. You can read this if you call your legislators to defend scientific funding. I added specific examples and some patriotic/financial pride/fomo for relatability

*party realizes they're in a gang territory* Vesk PC, FAFOing: "I wish we had spray paint to add our own tag!" Pahtra PC, enabling: "Wouldn't it be convenient if M'aiq just took Prescient Planner and happened to have a can of spray paint in his pocket?" *pulls can out* #Starfinder #GameNightQuotes

So there's something that comes up in this video, and I want to make note of it in a way that isn't some dogpile callout, but it's the sentiment expressed in the video (around 3:00 or so) which is that Paizo released Pathfinder as a response to D&D 4E being too different, but that really isn't true

Did a thing. Fixed the scientific names for the Kong: Skull Island Creature Codex to have correct formatting and grammar. IIrc, there were a few I completely made the names of. evilgeniusgames.com/game-detail/...

Desna has been feeling attention-starved (she's not, but I'm busy *right now* and that is a crime). These are all the socks she's brought me over the past hour and placed around my chair in an attempt to pull me away from writing. #caturday

No Star Wars. No Star Trek. Name a favorite sci-fi franchise.

Somehow I'd never heard of #DrawADinosaurDay until now. In spite of starting college to go into #paleontology in 2003. Alas, today is too busy for me to draw a new one. But here are a couple old ones :) Yes, sorry dino groupies. T. rex really did have that big ol' belly. Its pubic bone was loooong.

Dropped some new stock/character art with tokens on Pathfinder Infinite www.pathfinderinfinite.com/product/5102... www.pathfinderinfinite.com/product/5102... #characterArt #Pathfinder2e #nagaji #jadwiga

Getting excited for #RiverCityCon and my first run of Taily-po tomorrow!

2004, and I think my first non-D&D RPG was Deadlands

So my library's doing an adult winter reading challenge. One of the checkmarks is making "book spine poetry" (something at least vaguely sensical using only book spines).

UK based illustrators, please fill out this survey from AOI by January 31st. The UK government is proposing a new AI policy that would let AI companies freely use copyright protected work without permission — unless you explicitly opt-out. www.surveymonkey.com/r/ai_consult...

This thread is both (a) infuriating, and (b) quite helpful. As others have noted, Google's human tech support seems to seems to be feeling the pressure and moving faster on allowing people to disable gemini integration, but you still have to plead for the ability to do so. Our steps/script below 🧵

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)

No, Gaiman didn't plagiarize Tanith Lee (I have a bunch of Lee first editions, I interviewed her once, I know her work). There are a bunch of writers who did gods stuff before him (Adams, Leiber) BUT it does show something I've noticed that a lot of writers from the 80s and 70s have been forgotten-

Forgot to post yesterday, but I've also submitted my events for #GenCon and #OriginsGameFair! Some repeats from last year's Gen Con, some new, including one completely new format. I'm excited!

I did it! First adventure, first draft complete! Just have to plug numbers in since I wasn't sure what level I wanted to set it at until late in the game, then Taily-po is ready for playtesting and RiverCityCon after that! #RPGWriting #tabletop #folktale #Pathfinder2e

I've decided to try my hand at pyrography with an #OmenDragon. Lineart done, actual woodburning later. Now I really need to get back to the writing I've been failing to focus on. 😆 #PathfinderRPG #PathfinderRemaster #dragon #art #ArtNouveau

Three good days of writing in a row on Taily-po. Some changes to plans I wasn't expecting, but I like where they've gone. Only the final battle and big bad to design. #RPGWriting #FolkHorror

Common misconception to people new to #Pathfinder2e: Simple DCs is the DEFAULT. Use it for everything. DCs by Level refers to the level of the CHALLENGE. Not the party. A simple level 1 lock is still only DC 15 to pick, even when the party is level 20.
