Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

I feel like I’m struggling to be heard and understood today. It feels like every opinion or perspective I voice is wrong and incorrect, and my lived experience don’t matter. That, on top of the world around me falling into chaos, has me feeling kinda… not good.

I was completely and totally onboard for this movie until the second I learned Jared Leto was in it, and then I was 100% out.

I might give the soundtrack a listen, but a movie about the power to 3D print infinite Jared Letos? No. Hard pass.

What makes a Shadow of the Demon Lord adventure “death metal?”

I’m adapting the promotional D&D 5e adventure module for The Black Dahlia Murder’s album Verminous!

A copy of Depths of Drasted: A Verminous Quest

My t-shirts have been fitting a bit loose lately so I ordered a smaller size than usual, and it fits! Hopefully it doesn’t shrink much in the wash.

Also I think today is the day I finally clean my bathroom mirror.

Every once in a while I am reminded about how when I was 5 and first saw Jurassic Park, there’s that scene where Hammond mentions Chilean sea bass and I didn’t know what that was was and I thought he’d said chili and sea bass so for most of my childhood I thought the fanciest dish was chili and fish

Today I rearranged the stock in the inventory room at work and I am so tired

But now all our inventory is shelved in a way that makes actual sense, which will make my life so much easier

A TTRPG specialty bookstore "CCFOLIA BOOKS" opened in Tokyo.
You can find many kinds of Japanese TTRPGs there. You should go there when you come to Japan.

Listening to Between Two Cairns reviewing a Gygax module and making the connection between his history in insurance and the way he wrote adventure modules made my brain explode

I knew that fact about him but I never put two and two together

Of course Hommlet is written the way it is! I see it now!

It’s kind of crazy that Nazis and the KKK have recently become controversial bad guys because a bunch of bitter online dorks assumed it was about them

Ubisoft canceled an ‘ASSASSINS CREED’ game set in the post-Civil War era

• Featured a Black Assassin who was formerly a slave

• Players would fight the emerging KKK

• Leadership canceled it after concerns with U.S. political climate & Yasuke backlash

Would be real cool if evil billionaires would stop making me associate names for things from Lord of the Rings with their evil panopticon bullshit

Clandestinauts was such a good comic to read when I was getting back into TSR-era D&D gaming some years ago, I’m absolutely due for a reread

Hey, YouTube. Hey. You good? You doing OK?

Because I searched for how to make XPS foam dungeon tiles and in your list of results you included a video thumbnail of an old lady butt and I don’t believe that is related to my search.

I’m considering using Lulu to make a POD of a fan translated tabletop RPG but I’m a silly goose luddite and don’t know how to make a cover pdf

Part of me thinks it would be smart to pick up the old AD&D 2e spell card decks to make play a bit easier

Part of me thinks that would be a waste of money because getting people to play 2e IRL is so dang hard

There already exists a vast ocean of dudes making real content with their real selves in a dizzying array of genres and categories and they don’t waste nearly as much water or electricity and also don’t look creepy and fake

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I’ve wanted to know more about Aeldari outside the big two and a half factions, so I’m stoked that this is getting great reviews!
