The blooming yellow gorse bushes all over ireland are so striking they look like the tufts you put on space marine bases.

This is so awesome. I wanted to do something like this but with Mausritter while having adventurers in it but I just couldn't solve the time syncing problems between them and grew fatigued with the mediocre adventure scene for mausritter. samsorensen.blot.im/cataphracts-...

the 1930s hollywood moral codes got me down, so I snuck in a Paul Blart and the audience loved it. Hollywood Animal is seriously so much fun

I know everyones playing blue prince or whatever but Hollywood Animal got my full obsession right now. What a game! I can see its potential for the full release. Almost a classic Hollywood crusader kings.

Crackpipe theory: Americans elect Nolan Batman villains as presidents. 2020: Ra's al Ghul 2024: The Joker (Kamala is twoface) 2028: Bane So in 2028 expect some kind of macho wrestler thermidorian running on populist Law and Order and antiimmigration rhetoric and going after the economic swindlers

I'd like to one day try and run a campaign with the gimmick you only have one life. if your PC meets a premature end you gotta give up your seat at the table for someone new. I wonder how that'd go?

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

Playing pendragon in the twilight years of Camelot really shows how thing falls apart when your leadership doesn't show up, huh. We're at when King Arthur "trusts the process" and lets his wife be on trial for a shocking murder nobody can believe she did it. Couldn't possibly be relevant to today.

I would really like to give up more American tech but everything local in Ireland really hinges on Facebook/Whatsapp and basically all my ttrpg friends and games are on discord. They're basically load bearing pillars of my social life these days.

📉We like to think this is the golden age of data visualisation. But check out this chart from the US military during WWII👇 German production of synthetic oil, plant by plant, and how it collapsed when Allies bombed the plants. Much more on this in Ch 14 of Material World...

Not much to do in the Irish countryside so I've been getting into making my own cocktails this past month The three I think you must try are * Last Word * Army and Navy * Brooklyn I tried a lot of last word riffs (shout out to the division bell) but the original reigns supreme.

can everyone designing OSR games just agree on a standard length of rope please? 😅

Despite this one not particularly engrossing me and taking me a long time to finish, the Phillip Marlowe series is a must read, yall. Look you probably don't need my ignorant butt to tell you these books are classics but like I promise you these books are better than anything on TV right now.

I've released the Outdoor Survival Scaffolder - a tool that automatically generates lairs, monsters and treasure based off the terrain of the classic OD&D wilderness map! It's still WIP, but has been an enormous undertaking so far - I hope it's of use! chaoclypse.itch.io/outdoor-surv...

I'm piling sandbags on the hill of "Sushi is a perfectly fine breakfast food." Tamago is the intuitive choice of course. But fish is great too. Like crushing an onigiri with a cup of coffee is a great way to start the day.
