Going back to fiddle with a bit of Wetrunner I set aside ages ago. Each scenario ("dive") has its own fancy layout design, and the first one is sillier than the others because it's meant for first-time players. Trying to arrive at a header I'm happy with

When I was a kid I flipped through a SF novel in the library which had a scene about a pile of astronaut poop that became sentient after it was hit by cosmic rays. Every so often I remember this but not the book's name, and it bothers me. I cannot be the only astronaut poop book reader

I joined Bluesky exactly two years ago and I wrote a piece about my thoughts on the platform - how it's been coming along so far and where it seems fated to go. Thanks for reading.

Still working on Wetrunner. Got hit with some personal news that knocked me out of the headspace to do much writing for a while but I'm getting back into it. Will try to post up one of the remaining 2 chapters this weekend

If I were working at the fast food restaurant in Falling Down I would simply charm William Foster using empathy.

Sometimes I'll open Scrivener (a writing program) and Discord will go "you can use Discord from the overlay while playing! Message your friend "Want to play?" here!". I think it's overestimating how fun it is to watch me take ten minutes to write that someone "looked like a pre-loved haunted doll"

Marveling at this r/spelljammer post in a thread about Spelljammer ship ideas that's just "here's some quality AI content. sorry if you're TRIGGERED" followed by hundreds of words of unrelated gibberish about things that don't exist in Spelljammer

Was wondering what ways people have offed themselves are funny if you think about them, like for normal reasons, but Google keeps trying to steer me towards calling a crisis hotline. I'm fine my man, I just want to know if anyone's ever thrown themselves under a clown car or something

Do you ever think about how the 1987 educational video Dinosaurs! begins with the child protagonist desperately trying to come up with ideas for a science project in The Most Dinosaur Themed Bedroom Possible and failing to think of dinosaurs until a song called Mesozoic Mind plays on his boom box

In 5E, barghests were created to hunt and consume the souls of goblins because the goblin god Maglubiyet made a deal with a fiend and then stiffed them. I think this works better as a Krusty the Clown bit

People are talking about the shooter that was a member of the Something Awful forums. Those who are not as familiar with the forum culture as I am might have missed some nuances e.g. you might not be aware that shooting someone is considered to be extremely disrespectful.

Unironically, if you're into the non-D&D TRPG scene, odds are pretty good you've heard of or own or maybe even played a game worked on by a Something Awful Traditional Games Subforum alum
