I really want to make a character with the "Friend of Greensteeples" background for PFS.

Some cogent thoughts about tariffs and their effect on the industry and hobby of tabletop games. My own thoughts are here: www.montecookgames.com/pushing-back...

K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread.

For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US.

As always, read Dave on content moderation issues. The summary matches what I said last week. Nothing in the new changes are about "free speech." They're simply carve outs for culture war hatred approved by MAGA.

i.e. they are explicitly biasing moderation in favor of MAGA.

I really, really don't want to do this, but let's do a bit (just a LITTLE BIT) of fact checking about what Zuck said on the Joe Rogan podcast, because this is something I not only followed closely, but also spent time *talking to the actual people at Meta who dealt with this* which WAS NOT ZUCK.

Our 22 year old lady snuggled with me, her favorite sleeping spot, on her last day earlier this week. She was a wonderful kitty. We miss you, Maddie.

I don't know what's up with algorithms on other sites- this is the first time I've seen this Kickstarter from one of my favorite authors.

Okay so - stealth is no longer an option? #dndmemes

The Mighty Orbots! A fun one season 80s Saturday Morning Cartoon jointly produced between Japan and the US that fell victim to legal shenanigans.

This story just gets stranger as it continues.

Confronting the most complex of ttrpg problems, holiday scheduling

And yes, our recording studio is totally really. It's not a glorified blanket fort in my master bedroom closet. Ask @cjovalle.bsky.social, he can confirm that it's totally for real as part of Vorlen Publishing!!

Oh, cool. @gailsimone.bsky.social has a new Red Sonja book out, with audio version narrated by @felicia.day!

I learn a lot about current comics goings-on from Gail Simone. Like all about Cyclops' heat vision.

Some friends decided to return to Everquest 2 after many many years for funsies and I decided to give it a whirl. Somehow I had completely forgotten than in fact, I played with them that last time and have multiple characters on their server, in their (I guess "our") guild...

If for whatever reason you are in the mood for a fantasy series where heroes fight back against the tyrannical megalomaniacal god-king of a terrible world, check out the Summoner series by my friend and cofounder of Vorlen, Ben Krauter. :)

Game manuals for Out of This World, Dragon's Lair, Super Mario 3, The Legend of Zelda, Alone in the Dark, Mort Combat 2, Dungeon Keeper, the Bard's Tale plus Skara Brae map.

Pure nostalgia discovered visiting my childhood home. I still love that map of Skara Brae. ^_^

Lina Inverse really is just EVERY player character, huh

Neat RPG history thread. I have the book, but not enough Japanese for it to be as useful as it might be...

The original OVA has great and memorable music.

Austin Film Society is one of the best things about Austin for film lovers. Got to watch Fritz Lang's M (1931) with Qyandri and K this weekend at AFS Cinema. Really interesting, anticipating/influencing noir and police procedural thrillers.

We adopted Fintan at 8 years old, and he is the sweetest most grateful tomcat. He and his younger cat sibling Unagi spend all their time together when he's not loving on us.

Tabletop RPG Starter Pack Join the conversation

Okay, not sure how great of a job I did (and it feels a bit weird to put me up-front), but here's a Starter Kit for Tabletop RPGs, publishers, authors, artists, and more TTRPG professionals and companies. go.bsky.app/67ekX19
