20 years ago, Emily Care Boss organized the first JiffyCon, held in a church basement in Greenfield, MA.
The repeating event quickly exceeded space capacity.
We had to stop this indie TTRPG con several years later, due to space & pricing constraints.
Scale & scope are everything it turns out.

Had a blast talking on a podcast about what a Sinners TTRPG would look like, but now I have a problem: the urge to make a Sinners game.
Dammit, I cant even have conversations without the risk of game design!
The curse is spreading.

I only need AI to generate ideas.
And then I need AI to generate text describing those ideas.
And then I need AI to generate images based on that text.
And then I need AI to generate nice comments when I post all of this because real people are mean to me.

one thing I find ridiculous is that people claim to find AI so useful for "idea generation", when I and every other remotely creative person I know has more incredible ideas than they can complete in a few lifetimes.
If you need AI for ideas, no you don't -- you need to be more creative.

Getting ready for the next playtest of Ultrawolves (superhero space werewolves!) next week. Also getting some awesome sketches of some of the werewolves from @johnlattaart.bsky.social , like this awesome one of the "Dogsbreath", a werewolf with acid blood and creates noxious acid clouds.

Am I the only one who felt Bondi's uh "performance" wasn't for anyone in the room or even anyone watching it on TV? It felt (like so many other similarly baffling performances) for an audience of 1: her boss.

The upside of this: If you want to know the precise details of what boot leather tastes like, you can ask the fine leaders at this once-prestigious polling place!
If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.
