So this post I made earlier in response to the bad D&D advice got me thinking, and I was sure I’d seen something similar recently…

https://www.tumblr.com/prokopetz/751885056051691520/quite-so-if-you-just-want-to-fool-around-and

Ah, yeah, that was it.

Any thoughts or comments from the wider gaming community?

(With the caveat that I’ve been following you for ages and still don’t 100% understand your gaming style)

I’m kinda looking for opinions from people tangentially related but also not, how people have seen this show up in their groups, how they combat it, etc.

But also a discussion on how it effects trying to convert people to other games/systems, how this effects play style or ability of potential converts, etc.

I have more thoughts percolating but am very tired & short on charac

Luckily a lot of kickstarters and publishers that I’ve worked with were super excited to share artists credits, but I know a lot of my artist friends got (and still do get) shoved aside and It annoys the crap out of me.

Credit your artists!!

I would like a scholarly book on the etymology of vulgar terms and phrases, because that is, no joke, a fun topic we talk about at my workplace.

Anyone know of any?

What!?! Dice.camp is in the top 50, but with an abysmal only 50% of images with alt text!

Come on y’all, we can do better than that!!

A little sketch of Hal from Clifford D. Simak's Enchanted Pilgrimage, based on Darrell K. Sweet's cover. Just finished the book are realized that Hal's color scheme happened to match the colored ball-point pens I had nearby. He's a hill person that lives in a hollow tree and has a raccoon for a roommate. So, you know, living the best life.

(I've created a Cara account, in case you'd rather see this sort of nonsense over there: https://cara.app/epidiah/all )

A tiny sketch of a stout, little man with a sweeping mustache and a fluffy beard. He is wearing a green cape, a red tunic, green tights, and red shoes. There's bow slung over his shoulder in a way I'm sure no respectable archer has ever slung. The sketch was done with a black, fine-tip fountain pen and the "coloring" is done with extra fine red and green ballpoint pens.

    I mean, it may not last long but it’s pretty ok so far.

    (Unless you do physical art, because apparently the creators forgot that existed when they set everything up and all the tags are for digital stuff, and nothing for physical mediums)

    @edheil @epidiah very much so, back in the day it was created ONLY for video games and etc, but then the indie ttrpg scene found it and liked it’s business model and kinda just… moved in

    There’s a Dairy Parade going by our house tonight.

    Apparently it’s a big Do, the yards all down the street are full of people

    Good morning. I like putting pretty landscape pictures on my desktop computer background.

    If you wouldn't mind me using your landscape photos this way (and in no other ways), please reply with a landscape pic you took.

    Here's one I took back in 2020.

    I don’t know if these will be good enough quality for a wallpaper but I’m quite pleased with them…

    View of bright green trees and bushes across a clear blue lake with duckweed and wetland grasses in the shaded foreground
    A long thin log across a small trickling creek full of rocks. Thin bright green trees fill the background
    An old wooden plank bridge meanders through a mass of bright green skunk cabbage. Young green trees fill the background

    My 5-year old had a emergency this morning and I had to learn more about the game then I ever wanted to know before...

    One might go as far as to say being a present “in game” family is important. My partner and son started playing together a while before me, but I eventually got a computer powerful enough to join in and we’ve been having a blast ever since.

    It’s been amazing watching my son’s building and decorating abilities grow and flourish and we love going on adventures together. (He’s way better at PvE than I am)

    One of the Hearts broke up with one of our crew over text. A breakup would have been bad enough, but to be so spineless… smdh

    Walked to the library today and I took the opportunity to finally get a picture of my which I finished over 3 years ago now and just never got around to photographing.

    @epidiah what kind of knowledge/experience are they looking for?
    I’ve worked at a couple and had family members living in others. But it’s hard to tell if I would be helpful
