To celebrate the patch of Animal Crossing (a game that got me through 2020), I drew my OCs as AC villagers, and threw in a little homage because of the overlapping dates <3

A ★★★★½ review of The Rip (2026)
Top notch cast and Carnahan doing their damnedest to pull out a nailbiter. Amd somehow a beagle named Wilbur steals the fucking show!

I spend way more time than I would like yelling "Shut up!" when ads start playing on streaming services that I pay for.

Core rules, starter adventure, and starter sandbox hexcrawl, all coming out tomorrow.

All PWYW.

Plus a game jam to celebrate the release.

Get ready for WYRM. My take on OSR style games.

This is an incredibly well-reported piece. I *loved* playing Yazeba’s on OMM and looked forward to eventually buying a physical version, but I stand in solidarity with the creators who were essentially strong-armed into removing their work from future editions.
Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

I can’t go to the grocery store alone right now because ICE is racially profiling and abducting people who aren’t white
Despite Trump’s promises, grocery prices are still rising fast. Families can’t afford this… when is he going to get serious about lowering costs?

Bravo, BATMAN. Getting this one on TV in 1966 deserves admiration.

Can't decide on something new to watch, so I'm watching Pitch Perfect for the thousandth time.

This charity game goes live in just under two hours!
Friends! I'm super excited to announce that @demiplane.com has given us some #Daggerheart digital copies to give away at the charity stream this coming Monday!

Guess you could say that doing good and having a chance to win our favorite #ttrpg is a ... Naturoll combination. 😉

Got my new progressive lenses and am getting the hang of them. Definitely an odd change. But loving the blue frames I went with!

Watching Pluribus S1E5 and wondering if the lightpost drone is going to become a thing like the Breaking Bad pizza.
