If this ban covered @9thlevelgames.bsky.social Rebel Scum but not Going Rogue, then we were clearly doing something wrong. In the meantime, we've removed all of our games from @drivethrurpg.com until they allow Rebel Scum, or forever—whichever comes first. Shameful & cowardly decision by Roll20.

Rebel Scum, a game about punching thinly metaphorized space Republicans in the face, technically broke Roll20's Product Standards Guidelines for "overt political agendas or views." Censoring political art does the fascists' job for them, no matter how staunchly Roll20 proclaims 'no politics!'

Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

This is absolutely fucking shameful www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have gone from the margin of error to the margin of effort. On the day before the election, we stand on the verge of toppling a political dynasty and winning a city we can afford. But we can only do it with you. zohranfornyc.com/gotv

The government are planning to make the protest group Palestine Action illegal under anti-terrorism powers. This means it'll be a criminal offence to just be a member or express support, regardless of any actions. All because they're disrupting the UK-based parts of the Israeli war machine.

I created a thing! I was inspired by @gamechangershow.bsky.social to create these loop-de-loop stickers which celebrate trans identities and the fact that We've Been Here The Whole Time!

You have more in common with the average Iranian citizen than you do with the people that run this country

This is so ridiculously well deserved

Y'all this was our one goal for this year. And we hit it with just about 6 months to spare. Thank you so much for coming along with us while we play pretend.

You are a clown. You’ve finished your gig. You’re tired. You just want to go to bed. But your magical clown slippers that allow deep, uninterrupted sleep are missing. It wasn’t you. Someone, or something, has hidden them. You must unravel this absurd mystery before you collapse from exhaustion.

Dragon Turtles are methodical patrons that urge caution and slow progress.. These greedy creatures often "demand" a portion of their warlock's shiniest treasures in exchange for their continued service. With Caretaker Warlock, our supplement for #DnD5e, you can have your own unique patron!

WE ARE LIVE!!! COME HANG OUT, YOU PERVERTS! www.twitch.tv/gnome_anne

Tonight! Are you coming? Things are getting hot in here for this panel (honestly mainly because it's almost 30 degrees in Glasgow and I'm dying!!!

What is lurking beneath the streets of Edinburgh? Coming soon, we return to Paint the Town Red, in 1830's Scotland as four vampires seek to find out what is wrong with the blood of the mortals. Another masterclass in incredible players doing amazing things.

The coldest line I've ever experienced from one of my players whilst GM-ing was uttered this week. Like, jaw dropping cliffhanger moment. I can't wait to release it.

Nothing quite like an impromptu game of Blood on the Clocktower where you get to sit quietly and listen as everyone else accuses each other of being a villain Me as the Noble:

I mean, would you LOOK AT THAT LINEUP! Curating these panels with Anne is an absolute delight

🫦SEX ON THE TABLE🫦 This FRIDAY, I'm hosting a panel on sex in #TTRPG ft the sexy wisdom of @catieosaurus.bsky.social @superdillin.bsky.social @titanomachyrpg.com @sailorsctaustin.bsky.social @eclipse.gay produced by @samsighs.bsky.social Submit your questions here!!

If I'm going to lose in the categories I'm nominated for, the fact it could be to these beautiful humans fills my heart with so much joy.

🌈 We are immensely grateful to be recognised by @rainbowrollnetwork.bsky.social. The four of us pour our hearts and souls into making Demons & Daughters, so to be up for Outstanding Show & Cast Performance alongside so many phenomenal peers is an honour. 🧵⤵️

Overwhelmed to discover we have been nominated for Outstanding Show, Editing and Audio Design for "Our Last Summer" alongside some TITANS of this scene! Never gonna stop talking about this show folks.

Another day done, another actual mini series wrapped up I fucking love games, and I love them even more when I get to play with incredible people!

We're halfway through Pride so now seems a good time to drop a pin that people have been requesting: something for allies. The thing is though, I'm not interested in selling a traditional ally pin that allows just anyone to claim they're on our side, so lets talk about that 🧵 canopyrobin.etsy.com

The schedule for #RainbowRollFest 2025 is now up on our website! Be sure to check out our fantastic lineup and our screener block themes. We've got some absolutely amazing shows in the fest this year and we can't wait to screen them for you later this month!

Actual play to add to my long list A back and forth in time actual play, where we learn about a horror a bunch of teens went through after they meet up 20 years later 4 players as the teenagers, playing through the story 4 players as the adults, reminiscing and influencing the story in the past

Folks! We're descending on London in a month and the BIG Event is set to be an incredible few days! We're heading for an in-person sellout, and you can also join us online with almost every single session being hybrid this year!!!

I went through quite a difficult period for work from late last year into early 2025, as I transitioned from a contract ending and changing my aims for work work I take on Recently, I've had a whole bunch of exciting new things, doing work I actively want to do Feels like a corner has been turned

Sam is very kind, but any performance I've done here only holds up because of the efforts of everyone leading up to it and during it, each of us invested in telling a heartfelt story of loss and love. This game means so much to me, I don't think I'll forget it.

Finally went back to this Francis Bacon/Jacques Andres Boiffard inspired mini art quilt! Trying to decide if I want to add some more quilting texture with red wool thread I have, or if it's enough 🤔 opinions? #dhmakes #quiltsky 🧶

With a bit of time to reflect on this one, I just want to say. I think @masquewren.bsky.social gives one of the all time greatest performances in an actual play in this episode. Around the 56 mins mark, they will break your heart. A privilege to have captured it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNrw...

Panel on anti-fascism in #TTRPG 🏴 Since this panel originally aired, I've heard lots of conversations about how we are currently fighting a *narrative* battle as much as a political one, and I keep thinking back to this conversation... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBD_...

It's my birthday today! A simple day, I have some work I need to get through, before getting a takeaway this evening. The real celebrations are tomorrow, going to the zoo for a day of telling the penguins how much I love them all.

We are LIVE now! Come join us!

All four of my players have made me cry multiple times whilst editing this. I have to run a home game as soon as this streams ends and I am going to be a snottery, teary mess
