Here's the complete Zephyr's Rest, the isometric witchy underground cliffy city map I did for the outstanding Little Wolves RPG by @dinoberrypress.bsky.social Details in the next post. #ttrpg #indierpg #cartography #fantasyart #art

Yes, yes, and yes. Art matters. It always did. It always will. It matters now, more than ever.

complaining about "the far left" is such loser energy. oh no, not the people who want everyone to have human rights!!!!

Hey y'all! It's still Black History Month which means it's still a great time (it's always a great time, let's be honest) to pre-order Griot Anthology, a zine of micro-rpgs from black designers! thoughtcrimegames.itch.io/griot-anthol... We'll have previews of a few of the games very soon!

Casual reminder that my latest creation The Ultimate RPG Worldbuilding Deck is coming out in June! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ul...

Truth!

The reason it's really important to leave substack NOW is their relatively new social networking features. Substack is creating a walled garden that you *have* to share with white supremacists. They want to keep you on substack where all the Nazis are and force you to share your revenue with them.

Oh shit, go check this out!!!

A wealthy old white guy wrote an oped saying the Dems need to roll over and play possum the same day another white guy's oped said The Coup had failed and was over, the same day NBC killed several shows hosted by POC. That's all you need to know about who's fighting for and against the status quo.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.

Today is the anniversary of the passing of Katherine Johnson. Many of us only know about her thanks to Hidden Figures. It's the kind of history the current administration would like us to forget. www.katherinejohnsonfoundation.org/biography/

OK, I am skysourcing something: looking for royalty free stock art for page borders that are arcane/mystical. Not having much luck, does anyone have something? Can absolutely be your stuff!

OK then! No longer need to watch NBC.

I love Strega's stuff and plan on hiring them for a project in the future.

Another previously paywalled article is now free to read in celebration of Rascal's birthday! @rowanzeoli.bsky.social examined the cyclical discourse comparing actual play and porn, the differences between the two, and the desire for authenticity in both

Rosarium Publishing is open to submissions for their PLANET BLACK JOY anthology. We’re looking for spec-fic stories between 3-7k words about joy and pleasure by women and nonbinary folk who identify as Black, African, or Afro-descendent. Deadline is July 1. rosariumpublishing.com/planet-black...

Oh hell yeah!

1000 day streak of meditation! Sometimes, it's the little things that get us through.

Ooooh, this is an oldie but goodie! I will do you one better: I actually did a version of this for the Fate Codex! Culture From the Outside in , which actually implements my 'Actionable Culture' tool in Fate: fate-srd.com/fate-codex/c...

Did a remix of the Loot character sheet optimized for Roll20/VTT use. Think it came out pretty snazzy!

Welcome to my brain when it's busy. I'm trying to finish writing and editing, but also: Heeeeey, I've got a crazy idea for a game that is a larp deckbuilder! I am now jotting notes so I can focus on the work I'm trying to do. Oh, brain. I love you.

Again: tech journalism is meeting this moment in a way the mainstream establishment newspapers and cable channels just aren’t. I can’t emphasize enough what a big deal this is.

love this design!

Yall! It's 2025 and they just released a Hades-like Dynasty Warriors game called Warriors Abyss and I am SO here for it <looks at the trash fire in US> Look, lemme have this, please. (Seriously, I love this game)

This is the double GoFundMe thread. When I was facing cancer, people donating $10-20 added up to me making it - if you can only spare a few, it still helps. My friend Sean passed away Sat & we're fundraising for funeral expenses & to help their mother. www.gofundme.com/f/seans-fare...

Hello all, still boosting this as we still a lot of assistance to survive. Eternally grateful for the assistance you all have extended to us thus far, thank yall so so much

this is devastating and also an achingly beautiful portrait of an amazing woman and a lovely relationship. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

I was there several crashes ago. What a mess.

In this currently climate, something that has been bringing me joy is playing @geoffquest.bsky.social Boldly Go! which I 100% call my favourite "Star Trek" game made. There's a kickstarter for a Season One campaign I wanted to share it with you by telling you about the sessions I've ran.

Day 1 of me convincing you to pre-order Griot Anthology: It's Black History Month! What better way to show your support than purchasing a zine made by all black creators? 👀 💋 #bhm #griotanthology #prettypleaseeee

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...

‪‪♡❤︎‬ ONLINE SHOP OPENING SOON!! ‪‪❤︎♡‬ I'm SUPER excited to have my own store! It opens on FEBRUARY 20th at 5PM EST tallnquirky.bigcartel.com

Was talking with Tracy on this recently... this is real damn cool.

Feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep track of everything? We’re here to help. Let’s talk about the three big fights that are happening right now and how you can take action against President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump.

Let’s up these numbers everyone
