1. Nearly a century ago, Nazis burned trans books to usher in fascism. Now, Trump is doing the same, digitally burning all records of transgender people and striking the community from records. This must be seen for what it is: a move towards atrocity. Subscribe to support my journalism.

I just finished The Midnight Club, and I love it when stories include storytelling as a theme. Especially when the storytelling takes place when the characters would normally be sleeping. Very Especially when the storytelling is a form of healing.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

#ttrpg Writing a story with your friends about a ragtag group of heroes overcoming great evils and making the world a better place: amazing, beautiful, joyful, transcendent, peak. Writing a book by yourself with the same story: awful, miserable, difficult, excruciating, lonely.

#ttrpg My nightmare as a GM is that my players will notice plot holes in my campaign storyline that I didn't realize were there, and then I make up some bs to explain it away, unwittingly creating many more plot holes that will become apparent in the future, causing the cycle to repeat.

#ttrpg GMing is hard because it involves so many different kinds of work. If you're getting overwhelmed with running a game for your friends, then start delegating. Scheduling sessions, taking notes during sessions, and bringing snacks are a good place to start, but you can go further

#ttrpg #dnd I used to stress out about what loot I'd give my players. Then I got the galaxy-brained idea to just... ask them what they wanted and then give them that stuff as quest rewards.

D&D players/DMs on Reddit are complaining about the numerous janky compromises in the newest Monster Manual, complaining about 5e's "hidden abilities" on monsters with spellcasting abilities, and independently re-inventing 4e with suggestions like "just write out the important spells as abilities".

#ttrpg I see a lot of folk asking how to deal with problems at their tables, and the answer usually boils down to "talk to your players/GM about it." And that's correct; the solution usually just involves communicating in an open and honest way. But how do you actually do that? Here's some tips:

#ttrpg GMing tip: Reward players for using Safety Tools. Give them bonus XP, hero points, cookies next session, whatever, just give them something. Using the X card or bringing up a Line/Veil during gameplay is stressful, and I know you nerds hate conflict, so here's a little treat for being brave.

You've heard of MurderHobo parties, but have you met the rare but equally wild Heist Hobo party? Instead of using violence to solve all of their problems, they solve them with elaborate heist movie shenanigans. #ttrpg

Sometimes, all it takes to get a player from disengaged and bored to fully invested and enjoying the session is asking them to make a meaningful decision. Other times, it's helping them fully rebuild their character to do Big Damage Numbers. Both are 100% valid #ttrpg #pathfinder #pf2e

Never trust someone who works in tech and isn't a little bit suspicious, because that means they lack experience. Real techies have done twisted things to fix a computer problem because nothing else has worked so far, so why not try sacrificing a goat or three?
