Just a reminder that generative AI is theft of labor and intellectual property, uses vast amounts of energy/ water, provides at best mediocre results (if not outright lies or misinformation), actually affects your ability to think over time (mind duh), and is in general a really fucking bad idea.

I think a thing we, as game designers, should steal from fine arts people, is the habit of saying "in my practice", like "oh, well in my practice, I like to do a solo prototype test before I show it to others" in a way that leaves room for the fact that we are artists and we all do it differently

I deleted my last kofi post when I wasn't literally unable to function anymore, but after the news today I'd like to expedite my move if at all possible, so I'm putting this back up. ko-fi.com/robotfishgirl

In a time when we're surrounded by a huge diversity of TTRPGs and we have the ability to encourage people to explore what game design can look like in their creation and analysis, I'm extremely uninterested in defining what a """real""" game designer is or gatekeeping the idea of game design

This is why I’d love to see more publicly available style guides for systems! Having a style guide is a real time-saver and helps designers create quality supplements with clear, consistent language.

Had a scene to write. Was finding it hard. Procrastinated. Went for a walk. Didn’t write it. Realised, thinking about something else, that I wasn’t writing it because it was a bad idea. Had a better idea. Wrote that instead. This is what writing efficiently looks like, in the real world.

Hello, internet. Looking for people to talk to me about Shadowrun™️, ideally the last 15 years of it! Love it or hate it, that doesn't matter. The important thing is you have opinions and want to share them with Rascal. Reply below or contact me via email, discord, DMs, whatever. Let's talk!

One of the worst things about working in the game design industry is that sometimes I wanna run a game for my friends but our job is games so no one wants to play the game because content creation and constant design has made playing a little game difficult. 🙃

This is stuff I didn't know until I started doing Demiplane conversion as part of Mellie's team Lots of interesting info if you want a sneak peek into the process, but also I hope this helps non-publishing people understand just how much work goes into digital formats and conversions

So, let's talk about digital tool conversion for TTRPGs. My street cred? I'm the Head of Game Content for Roll20+Demiplane, which means that I lead the team that converts content officially. This is going to be a long one, so grab a snack, and let's chat.

This, by the way, is why you should never RSVP to a protest that wants your name & address.

None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something. This is the something I am able to do this week, and I hope I can do more and more every day. Come join me and the Transplanar crew for some trivia tomorrow night as we raise money for immigrant rights and legal aid! 🏳️‍⚧️✨

Some bills came in today and I really need to be able to pay so any work at all would be fantastic. Really didn't need that anxiety-almost-panic attack.

When I talk about the professionalization of the tabletop industry, this thread discussing the development and implementation of VTT resources alone is a perfect object lesson. Unpaid fan labor powers so much production and alternative models cannot yet scale fast enough.

Not to be unkind, but I am so impatient about the “what’s the point of making my little zines/comics/crafts/art when the world is on fire” sentiments. I get it, but saving the world is not a responsibility shouldered by your art! That’s what being a neighbor, a friend, and hell, a citizen is for!!!

Policy and authority wielded as a weapon is just as violent as a thrown brick, but that violence is perpetrated from a position completely divorced from the risk of consequence. There can be no real equivalence between protestors who put their bodies on the line and their oppressors.

So I guess I can finally never shut up about the fact I snagged roles in a dream IP I didn't even know was possible. I was in Visions of Mana as two very good girls. 😭✨ If you played it, I hope you fell a little in love with Lyza! And hopefully Luna was a help on your journey!
