absolutely floored by the MTG playing Drag Queen called GiGi WellPlayed. Outstanding work.
That's a real bummer you felt you had to do that - I enjoyed your writing on your alt

Posting on Bluesky is very Christian in that Jesus was also surrounded by prositutes, the poor and the mentally ill

The Neopets Team claims Geekify Inc. broke the terms of its licensing agreement by publishing a public playtest document in February, which led to criticism, ridicule, and one internal allegation of payment problems on the design team.
So sad that 25 years ago we had an Information Superhighway but now we've got like a Disinformation Cancelled Replacement Bus Service
You aren't even the first person I have seen online thirsting over him.
this excellent cover raises the startling question: what does Brian Bolland think a taco is
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
Ah the Psion! A blast from the past, that

In 1992, Barq's ran a Soviet Union "going out of business" promotion. They bought a warehouse full of soviet war medals, patches, buttons, flags etc and gave it all away to folks that bought their soda. This has to be a strong contender for the weirdest promo of all time.
World War III: The twentieth century's most important war? From 1945 onwards, it was a war that never broke out that occupied the minds of millions of people around the world. During the Cold War era, World War Three remained an apocalyptic fantasy, but it was a fantasy with enormous impact, relevance, and resonance. Facing this ‘spectre of ever greater annihilation’ politicians, officials, military leaders, and 'boffins' all pored over its implications, planned for its outcomes, and wrestled with the morality of it all. The global public consumed ideas about a third major twentieth century conflagration through an untold number of novels, comics, films, plays, artworks, news media articles, and games. This talk will cover the imaginary of World War III more generally, and then focus on how analogue games approached this topic and what this can add to our understanding of the twentieth century.
Better Dead Than Red: RPGs and the invasion of America Since the founding of the United States 250 years ago, fears of subversion and invasion by foreign powers have waxed and waned, but have never gone away. The 1980s saw the emergence of RPGs and board games that explicitly dealt with this threat, either literally or metaphorically. What do we make of these games as historical objects and how do we analyse them within their historical context. This talk by Malcolm Craig will invite you to consider games like Freedom Fighters, Year of the Phoenix, and the infamous Price of Freedom, and think about what they tell us about the United States in the era of Ronald Reagan.

Here's a draft manuscript of the Magic: The Gathering roleplaying game from 1996, and I've giving it away as a fundraiser for Planned Parenthood, with permission from the authors. Not sure how much to ask for. Vanishingly rare. $1,872 raised so far. #mtg #ttrpg
Experiencing my feminine side by logging into YouTube dot com and reading comments written by men who are very confidently telling me I'm wrong about a subject I definitely know more about than them ✨
...please tell me you are going to share examples
Now I am imagining a Pleasantville type situation where two internet weirdoes arrive in Smutland only to make the logic collapse around them.
Pornville?
I genuinely have wondered before about how the universe of porn stories would require some different logic to be applied consistently, just like a universe of superhero stories does, and what that would mean for a "normal" resident or for someone travelling between the two surprised
If it helps I grew up in Bearsden which is Glasgow's poncy suburb. So I am not considered a real Glasweigan by quite a few locals.
Still better than Edinburgh though

Even at the time there were fan made plain proxies of all the booster cards, which I printed and put in card sleeves with old Doctor Who Battles in Time and Space cards to use at my table.
I wonder if non randomised booster boxes - themed per encounter or for a game region - might have worked better? Let the GM make a deck to suit his scenario?
It was an experiment at almost exactly the wrong time
