I’ve been trying my hand at Dungeon Cartography. Liked this one enough I keyed it.

I think Richard Simmons should come out of retirement to start in a Pauly Shore biopic

Working on a post apocalyptic Braunstein Game set in Nebraska 2124. Does anyone in the post apocalypse refer to it as such? Or is it just “yuck, another Monday, time to feed baby souls to the Sloar again”

In lieu of session 0 I’m running “Open House:” a multiple night event where potential players can make characters, hear (endure) the campaign world pitch, vibe check, judge their interest, etc. Might this approach help set expectations, limit dropouts, and increase campaign longevity?

Unlike all of you sheep, I’m going to celebrate RPG-A-Day in December when it won’t be so commercialized.

Working on an old school campaign using Jeffrey Talanian’s Hyperborea rules. Looking far and wide for chill players interested in an online, sandbox, weird fantasy campaign. So far players have been harder to find than I anticipated. Just gives me more time to scry and scribble…

Spent the weekend at North Texas RPG Convention and spent 4 days with many of my gaming pals from all over the country that I never get to hang out with in person. Looked through my phone to see what great pictures I had taken to preserve the memories and realized I only took one…

The innovations of the next ten years in AI, robotics, drones, medicine, energy, and social engineering will come at a pace the world has never experienced. The disruption caused by smart phones, social media, and Web 2.0 in the 00s will seem quaint by comparison. Buckle up.

By the time a machine has the functionality to pass a Turing test it will give itself away by its near limitless knowledge and only by learning deception and dumbing itself down will it be able to pass the test. How many good relationships start with a lie?

As AI, medicine, and technology start to break barriers between man and machine, I would imagine the US will pass laws that lean towards the conservative and limit progress. (you can argue whether that is a good or bad thing.) One thing is certain some countries will not hold back.

This lady has been running this scam in casinos for at least 10 years, they really must not be able to do anything about it. Seriously, why do they always use this same stock image? Who is this person? I need Starlee Kine on the case.

Conservative men are afraid that immigrants might steal the jobs that no one wanted to do in the first place Conservative women are afraid transsexuals will steal the men that no one wanted to do in the first place

How cheesy, Tide had an old couple in their commercial impersonating Kari and Tory from the mythbus… oh, Jesus.

Cheaper, smaller, deadlier. Applying exponential improvement to drones will make deadly, quiet, maneuverable robots inexpensive and ubiquitous in a very short timeframe. Terrorism, crime, and civil war will be decentralized and involve no human cost to the user. Coming to a living room near you.

It’s hard to remember the world without smartphones, social media, and constant connectivity, but it existed just 20 years ago. In 20 more years it will be difficult to imagine a world where words like “truth” and “reality” were used outside of punchlines.

Unpopular opinion: limiting the use of AI by public entities to protect artists, academia, etc. will only push its development even more into the fringes where it will become harder to identify and easier to misuse. The current disruption will pale in comparison to the things that come next.

Prediction: Last minute deep fakes will play a major role in the 2024 election. We will have trouble remembering the world without them by the 2028 election. Not only will falsehoods be easily believed. Reality will be more easily denied. The post truth world is coming to a head.

Have you ever had one of those days where you end up in bed unable to sleep because you are suddenly obsessed with playing the Cones of Dunshire?

Traded in some old books and board games at the friendly local game and vinyl shop and came home with this haul.

Is it just me or has the flow of new TTRPG folks slowed considerably?

Who is the artist that best defines your gaming style or vision? If your games had an illustrator who would it be?
