Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes β€œI love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

Safety tools are a key element of TTRPGs for games played with any age, but these tools may need to look different to connect with really young players.

Here's how I adjusted safety tools to meet my kid's needs, and I hope it's a good guide for your games as well: https://loom.ly/W9X-F4w

Hey what are we using to lay games out these days that’s super easy and maybe not indesign (tho I feel indesign might still be the best answer)

Digital pdf release if that matters!

I went out to a goth club last night for the first time in like six years and had an amazing time. Broken hearts masquerade ball! A joyful evening of dancing vibing talking laughing catching up with old friends and new πŸŽ­πŸ’” although I had mixed feelings about the Siouxie cities in dust cover

When people are talking about chaining different TTRPG systems together to form a larger, more complex narrative, you can literally do that by playing Breaking the Ice then Shooting the Moon then Under My Skin with the same(-ish) set of characters. The Romance Trilogy.

Have done it.
Can recommend.

The poster for a Netflix show called Jo Nesbo's Detective Hole that includes the tagline "Not every devil hides in the dark." Tobias Santelmann, who plays Detective Hole, is in the foreground. Joel Kinnaman is in the background sans old man makeup. This is all made funnier by the possessive, as well as the fact that the character's full name is Harry Hole.

These fraught times call for a show with what is either an intentionally or unintentionally hilarious title, and which I will be talking about for the rest of the year

Ok I’m only 2.5 episodes in but Ilya and Shane are Lestat and Louis right

Also the structure is eerily similar to some Thai BL I’ve recently seen? Lol
