I am a tabletop game developer. I work mainly with rules lite narrative titles. My largest title to date is "Friendship, Effort, Victory," published by Far Horizons.

Currently, my major projects are:

  • Petmon, a rules light Digimon-inspired, narrative focused diceless game
  • Wild Hunt, an original variant on Fate Core that uses dice steps in place of Fate Dice that takes inspiration from works like RWBY.

I saw an ad today for a adventure that is almost one thousand pages long! That seems kind of ridiculous.

@SymbolicCity No, it's from 2001 and from Japan.

Hey, my boss gave me a free kurieg because she's moving. I cleaned up that basin because it had crud on it. And my coffeee is watery. Any tips?

Covok OP ,

It could be the brand. She gave me Starbucks Vanilla brand.

Maybe they never descaled it. It was her husbands and he just starting going to Starbucks directly despite dropping $220 on a Kureig.

Judging from the gunk on the side of the tub I had to clean with soap and water, I might need to run it with white vinegar to clean it on the inside.

My brothers and sisters in christ, to all the PbtA Devs, because we seem to be the only motherfuckers who do this, do not say "the playbooks are available online so we aren't putting them in the print book."

For the love of god, pay the extra 2 dollars a book to print them. Otherwise, in twenty years when every download link to them is gone forever because the internet is ephemeral, your game will be literally unplayable.

PbtA games with fewer than 100 pages.

I'm going to be really obnoxious about Discworld because I'm reading it and its a hyper fixation now.

Be prepared.

If you go to Hasbro.com, hit "newsroom", and hit, "Our perspective on generative AI", you get this. It is, thus, current. It's also very much consistent with the CEO's recent remarks.

I leave as an exercise for the reader to decide what they think a corporations "respectful use" is worth.

A Hasbro press release titled "Our perspective on generative AI", reading: Hasbro’s rich legacy of games and toys was built through the collaborative efforts of a diverse community of creators and storytellers and we maintain persistent focus on empowering these teams to craft exceptional experiences for fans. The use of generative AI tools is rapidly evolving, and we will responsibly examine emerging technologies knowing that such responsibility is possible only when paired with an unwavering respect for the rights of creators. As such, we will continue to commission, employ and celebrate artists and content creators. And we will empower each of our teams to determine if generative AI tools are right for their businesses, fans and community.

    @LeviKornelsen They will absolutely backstab every artist they can get away with it and hope that nerds are too apathetic to care as long as they get their new card.

    In a country with a functioning democratic system and a somewhat healthy political culture, anyone uttering such dangerous nonsense would be shunned and ostracized, a party elevating them would not be considered a viable option by anyone but an extremist fringe.

    America, however, evidently has neither.

    Wait, Sandworms eat humans. Humans are 70% water. How doesn't that kill them?

    @LeviKornelsen I am literally experiencing that as we speak.

    I decided to release the System Reference Document on Itch.io today to make it official and put it out on Creative Commons. I will likely follow up with Drivethru RPG shortly.

    Now, "Magnificent Heroic Roleplaying" is out on an open license. You are free to use its text as you so wish to make your own derivative works. It is a retroclone based on an out-of-print superhero game from the 2010s.

    Turns out it is easier than I remember putting things on DTRPG. I, for some reason, thought there was an approval waitlist. There isn't. So, it's out now. Should have done that as one post.

    TIL I learned that there's a subreddit devoted to mocking "ridiculous" names given to children by their parents (usually unusual spellings, and yes, some go completely overboard). I made it three posts before I found my daughter's name on one of their lists. Daddy is mad!!!

    @Tim_Eagon How many of posts are just racism around non-white names?
