I have been bombarded by people saying that this should be the next DIE RPG expansion for our Emotion Knight class. You're welcome. Full 4-page PDF on the site. I'll include the images in the next post in this thread. #ttrpg #dierpg

Do any of the authors dealing with the Unbound/Boundless situation have any horror short stories (<6000 words) in their catalogue anywhere, whether directly linked to Unbound or not? If so, please get in touch! Please share! 🦑

Hey everyone! Our good friends and contemporaries at @oldmoonquarterly.bsky.social have just launched their crowdfund for new issues! First day backers get a custom, crowdfund-exclusive bookmark or so the legends say... www.backerkit.com/c/projects/o...

is Mad World really that overdone? Personally, I find it kinda funny

This was true back in the day, but given the sliding timescale they would have had to meet at Woodstock '99, also answering the unspoken question of "Has Ra's al Ghul ever heard Limp Bizkit?"

279) Transcriptionbot. Plugs straight into a computer's audio jack and transcribes video-only content so you can read it instead of having to put aside time to pay continuous attention to one tab like some cave person. Also handy if you're hard of hearing, of course... #SmallRobotsRemastered

I know this may sound crazy, but Toynbee idea: resurrect dead on planet Jupiter.

From the bodacious Brian Murphy, an article dear to our pinball freak editor's heart.

Hey folks -- Signal Boost time for this week's #TheFullLid. If you have a creative project to promote, leave the details in a reply. Include the title and a link please, so folks can find it. For pre-launch crowdfunders let us know about 2 weeks in advance.

Apparently it is National Cheese Day. As is the custom, I will solemnly eat an entire 8 oz block of sharp cheddar for lunch

"Let me tell you about the time I almost died."

We can now confirm that all physical copies sold through the crowdfund will be signed by the author! Better sign up so you don't miss out... www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

278) Crampsbot. When you're on your period, snuggles up to you in the night and radiates warmth to help soothe cramps. #SmallRobotsRemastered

276) Trolleybot. Finally: a robot able to deal with the conundrum of the trolley problem. That is, it can unlock a trolley (aka shopping cart) that requires a pound coin and, unlike most similar tokens, it has little legs so it won't get lost. #SmallRobotsRemastered

TLDR disaster June 2, 1983. I am still mad about Stan Rogers dying young. I guess on the bright side we now have higher safety standards involving inflight fires and how to prevent them. 🤷 I want Northwest Passage Part 2 😭.

I had a June bug come out of nowhere, smack into my cheek in the kitchen, and fall to the floor. Suki pawed at it and then basically gave up. "Bug too big. Nope."

Just finished recording Hugo History #2 with @robtomshany.bsky.social, focusing on the 1955 Hugo winner: They'd Rather Be Right by Mark Clifton and Frank Riley. Apparently, this book is reputed to be the "worst" Hugo winner! (I don't think it deserves that!) (Pod won't drop until August.)

"Ha ha ha, nose on a rock." - Neanderthal (43,000 years ago)

May 29, 1846. Sarah Keyes, age 70, dies after a long battle with tuberculosis. Her death would have been likely whether she had stayed In Springfield or had come along to California. There had been hope they would have made it and the climate would improve her condition… 1/3
