I discovered you can be pretty bad at art and if you do any sketches for a game you run your players will still fall all over themselves fawning over it. Napkin-sketch quality but made just for them and they eat it up
boss: "Does anyone know how to get Claude permissions to run sudo commands?"
me:
But I've never played a "scholar" and am often asked to roll a history check. My character would know more about the history of her hometown than the background of an obscure order of knights. Presumably my DM manages the difference with an increased DC but that's invisible to me, hence muddy

A signal beckons…

An article that backs up what every engineer on my team has been saying with data! Wow, maybe this will get through to my CEO when nothing else has.
(...she says, with no confidence)
Hard to swing an axe with shoulder pain
Tons of amazing people involved in this, both in the core project (already funded!) and the stretch goals (sprinting towards unlocking!)
Go back it and have a horrific time (complimentary)
Overheard
our government combines the impulse control of pete hegseth, the intellectual rigor of rfk jr, and the attention span of donald trump with elon musk’s signature sense of humor
Less than 4 hours left!
Good luck! Hope they all die at just the right moments
The Discord back button with a red pill indicating 42 unread alerts
This notification management is also fairly distressing
This post took me from "I'm sure it's great but I'm not that interested, not really my thing" to "... so where do I buy it, again?"
What's even funnier is that we've been talking about it over in the Discord for these games and can't figure out exactly what he did "wrong." He had the whole montage about how he misunderstood the rule but that's how most of us play it 😂
Possibly my favorite ttrpg and it's not even fully written yet
You want a layout artist! That's the label I see most often for this kind of work.
You can find tons of them through crowdfunding pages for your fav games but here's one recc: byfrancita.carrd.co
This game deserves EVERY bit of hype.
Read your post before the quote post, assumed it was about current events, and the only snag was the thought: "Hm, I must have missed a newsburst about maggoty bread."
Exactly; "but the uberwealthy might leave" would be a much more compelling argument if they contributed to the communities they're currently in.
Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March. We want to give this game the best possible chance, so please sign up for prelaunch and help spread the word!

I graduated from a theater conservatory as a playwright & now I work in tech. Legitimately, courses I took on design fundamentals set me apart from my coworkers bc the things I make aren't just functional, they're visually polished, and that matters! Thank you set design professor ✌️
Truly doing the lord's (/lady's/eldritch being's) work, thank you!!
Actively looking for a new job! I am a statistician/data analyst in Edmonton with experience in Machine Learning statistical methods, data modelling of all kinds, visualization and reporting, and more! SQL and R, decent Python and PowerShell, and otherwise a quick learner. Looking for hybrid/remote!
Real question - does anyone remember TV Odyssey back in the 80s?
& thank you!
Absolutely! The app is still a work in progress (as is the game) so also don't feel obliged to put up a PR if you'd rather drop an issue (or just a DM) - I'm still actively working in it regularly & can roll in changes.
i think The Magnus Archives is the only fandom i’ve been in with zero popular straight ships. a glorious place to be
I'm... it funded in the first hour.
I'm not crying (this might be a lie)
Any funds raised now will go towards making the offering even better. More money for @thejenya.bsky.social to create additional art. More money for @aleenay.bsky.social to make the companion app available for free.
I think his first term was a project to make money (burying or controlling Epstein stuff may have been part of that).
Second term is to avoid jail. If he leaves office he'll face charges, so he'll do anything possible to avoid that. Parallels with death of Roman democracy w/executive immunity
Two things I love in games: mechanics for emotional resonance and themes themes THEMES. Lie To Him excels on both. Excited to help get it in more people's hands!
