Oh yeah, btw.

I'm JB, a #TTRPG designer, writer, editor, and layout artist.

Most recently I've been designing Tales of the Valiant with Kobold Press, but you may have seen me on MCDM's Arcadia, D&D Beyond's articles, Absolute Tabletop's Mecha Hack and Aether Nexus, and a many other places!

The header image for DropTheDie that is a wooden plank background that gradients from purple to yellow, while a central d20 outline in the center gradiants the opposite (yellow at the bottom, purple at the top). It reads "Tabletop Gaming. Supplements. Reviews. Advice."

Dont fear, i don't have "friendship decay" - still talk about you fondly whenever I can. I can only imagine you're in a tumult at the moment, but i'm happy to see you on here. ^_^

I've been alright out here in enterprise, trying to survive all these price hikes.

In lieu of the hand saw, it's folding up a piece of paper and cramming it under a keg to see if it stops wobbling, but I do agree. It's completely okay to do those things to have a fun game and curate your table experience, but "DMs can just change it!" Is not a viable design philosophy.

I hope you've been keeping well!

Goddamn don't you move.
Where the sky faded from hissing static to the noncolor of the matrix, and he glimpsed the shuriken, his stars.
"Stop it, Case, I gotta find your vein!"
She was straddling his chest, a blue plastic syrette in one hand.

The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.

You've convinced me to make some coffee.

I've got a medium-light roast that's really nutty, like praline and almonds, that'd go really well with a toasted bagel and cream cheese.

Relax your jaw a few times a day

Be sure to moisturize during the dry cooler months

Gaze into the embers of a dying fire and see your own death

Take a regular magnesium supplement with a salty snack if you don't eat a lot of nuts

I'm glad someone else brought this up. The algos are shredded with the influx of rage bait and bot/farmed content, to the point you see only 1/5th of what you want to see.

It's a much bigger problem than people may know.

I'd love for you to give yourself some credit/grace here - it's not your fault that things have burned you out. A lot of us are barely hanging in there, sucked dry of every ounce of motivation and prosperity we have.

You're doing what you can, and no one should demand more. o7

I can imagine we'll get some heat for some of this.

DropTheDie @dropthedie.bsky.social · 4d

its a guilty pleasure kinda thing, but the visuals and cosmic horror do a LOT of work.

This year we've watched a bunch of duds, sorry to say.
