Stop telling people to carry papers.
If you are white don’t you dare carry them.
Not all citizens are born here.
And that’s their definition right now.
Not everyone can get passports.
Transracial adoptees exist and might have fucked up paperwork.
You’re complying. Knock it off.
Okay, time for me to eat crow.
I talk a big game about how rife the AP space is with starfuckery, but it's humbling to be reminded that the design part of the TTRPG scene is not immune.
Starfuckery is toxic and stifling. And this crow tastes BAD.
Resistance idea for folks at protests worried their videos will be lost when their devices are taken:
Have a friend at home set up a Streamyard account
While you (possibly others) are in the field, they send you a link to the stream
Video goes live on multiple platforms & is stored w/ Streamyard
Just taking a look at all the TTRPG goodness I have coming up in 2026 and I am hugely excited but also I actually gotta make all this shit? What the fuck?
This sucks.

Link me or show me to the weirdest, smallest, never heardofist TTRPG that you have played and enjoyed and can't shut up about
Say it with me now- placeholder assets are supposed to be bright and obvious so you DON’T ship with them.
Also it doesn’t matter if no ai-generated assets are in the final executable?? The rising sea levels aren’t gonna be like “oh well no one saw that so the climate change doesn’t count”
reddit post from a presumably young person who watched sex and the city and couldn’t get over how much people smoked indoors. “wouldn’t everything smell bad?” they asked
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will
Stunning new revelation: Epstein hung out almost exclusively with guys who had black boxes where their heads should be.
My absolute TTRPG design advice is this:
Do it on purpose.
Think about your choices and make them deliberately for your project instead of doing something just because some other game (usually D&D) does or doesn't do it.
Nobody works this hard for this long to cover up something this bad unless they are guilty.
announced a game today in case you missed it. the call to action is to be nice to me if it takes a long time
my experience trying to get people to read umineko since completing it
I think my 2026 goal needs to be finding a way to put my creative writing, storytelling, GM'ing skills to use in some way that can be an actual full-time income.
What that looks like is yet to be seen, but my god is academia killing me slowly*

You ever just think about how much it sucks that Musk bought Twitter and absolutely destroyed it? Like man, that used to be where I'd meet new people, make real life friends, etc. Now, whenever I glance over there to check something, it's just unrecognizable.

I want to uplift the folks I have had the honor of working with/hired on projects I AD’d for that I can’t recommend enough to yall 🫶🏼 if their work fits your needs, PLEASE hire them!!
I couldn’t find everyone so I’ll keep adding as I find folks o7
The most damaging phrase I've heard a lot lately in people my age and younger is "It's too late for me"
Internet Influencers have poisoned people's perception of their own experiences and uniqueness to the point of paralysis
So let me reassure you
There's time, Focus, Keep going, You'll get there
AI could never in a million years give us something as good as Minmo
What these companies don't get or seem to care about is those of us who are professionals in post-production and rely on tools like WeTransfer to send materials to clients have also signed NDAs that are complete conflict with their new TOS.
Legally we CAN'T use WeTransfer now.
i heard you only get to play as donkey kong for the opening hour or two on the tanker. the rest of the story is told from the perspective of diddy kong as he infiltrates the “big peel” bananaspill containment facility on a hostage rescue mission, manipulated by unseen players in a larger game (1/14)
WeTransfer just changed their TOS giving themselves permission to train AI on any content you transfer and produce derivative works based on content you transfer that they are allowed to monetize and you are not allowed payment for.
Stop using WeTransfer.
met an old Russian woman with a little dog named 'Pokemon' and I was like "oh cool, like the game?" and she just responded, "I don't know."
