While I would prefer them to use data they already have on me rather than demanding I give them a picture of my face, that doesn't mean I'm happy about any of it. If I have to give them my face or my government ID, I will find an alternative. I didn't stay loyal to MSN or to Skype either lol

Any time a company has to "make a statement", it means they're sweating. Cook them

Upper Deck is facing concerted online backlash after licensing a Harry Potter CCG The industry is taking a step against transphobia in tabletop games.

"When it comes to publishing Harry Potter, it’s pretty simple: don’t."

Members of a grassroots movement are pressuring Upper Deck Entertainment to not put tabletop money in the hands of a powerful transphobe. So far, they've been met with silence.

Thank you! I take a lot of inspiration from the ocean, which I love and am also terrified of. 😄

That's wild, I didn't know that. That's very cool!

If you are a Black artist who does work in tabletop games (or wants to) please share your work here!! I’m not currently hiring for anything but I’ll boost y’all and maybe folks who are following me are 👀 at the very least I’m always seeking more creatives to add to my Rolodex for future projects 🫶🏼✨

Thank you. I don't think all of us have to become activists/political accounts, but at a certain point if a creator or artist hasn't commented on the situation, it makes me wonder if they agree with it. There's no centrality or ambiguity under fascism.

I tend to keep political discussions off of this account, because this is about a fictional world, meant to inspire & awe, & be a reprieve. But silence gives cover to evil, so let me be clear:
Fuck ICE
ACAB
BLM
Land Back
Abolish slavery
Abolish hunger
Basic standard of living should be a right

We should form a coalition of Quinns Against Bad Media Takes

Media literacy is so bad these days. It's gotten to the point where I find myself wondering if *I'm* the one who doesn't understand media because of the number of libertarians who seemed to have played an entirely different game from me...

A bunch of projects launching for Kickstarter’s #ZineQuest this month are using Gen-AI. Even if the concept sounds appealing, please support designers with integrity first. If this sounds unreasonable, we shouldn’t be mutuals.

This artwork by Alphonse Mucha vividly personifies the four seasons as elegant women, each adorned with natural elements reflecting their distinct seasonal characteristics. The series is emblematic of the Art Nouveau movement, showcasing Mucha's signature style with decorative floral motifs and flowing lines.
