Yet again a Labour minister lets the cat out of the bag. They are expecting to come third in Gorton and Denton.
Only the Green Party can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.

I tried to do a BHM TTRPG jam last year with middling results (I get that ppl are busy, so I am not stressing it).
We did get a couple of amazing games from it though!
If I did it this year, would ppl be down?

an infuriatingly large portion of the ttrpg playing public are to rpgs what the illiterate are to novels.
no, D&D does not offer equal support to "Thrilling Dungeon Adventures" and "Harvest-Moon-Esque Cozy Socialising", and if you think it does I will treat you like you are terminally stupid.

Any time a new 40k thing comes out I sorta get how fans of shit football teams feel. Not one but two Imperium factions, no nids, no chaos. Wake me up when 40k total war has anything cool in it.

I think a lot of my personal game design theory boils down to "systems are inescapable, and if you think you're not using one you're just using one you can't or won't acknowledge".
God help me I'm thinking about game design theory again. 🙄

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Alberto Dianin and Andrea Ruggeri are cheap, tasteless, talentless grifters and I would not piss on them if they were on fire
UK Games Expo promoted a tabletop RPG on Instagram that claimed to use "fully ethical and transparent" generative AI. Everything went downhill once the publisher began responding to criticism.

In the #ZephyrRPG, you travel the back of a sentient, walking landmass as the Windfolk - sentimental constructs that seek to fulfill sacred obligations by travelling through the wondrous landscapes of Ophoi, mediated through a system based on color tokens, survival, and mutual aid.

I'm not sure how you could NOT come to the conclusion that D&D is basically a great big smothering pillow shoved over the face of "the non-D&D RPG hobby/industry" unless you're being deliberately obtuse or are so fundamentally ignorant nobody should listen to anything you have to say ever
Listening to people say D&D has no negative bearing on the indie creative space at large has me tweaking.
This is a creative monopoly unlike anything seen before or ever. I have a list of marketing outreach channels where 95 out of a 100 contacts exclusively cover D&D/OSR (D&D adjacent)...
