I'm live on #Twitch trying out a new game "No. I'm not a Human" in honor of it being October!

Swing on by and help me figure out whether I should let these people into my house or not.

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

Tonight, 730pm ET, I'll be alive doing...something.

I was thinking of playing a "scary" game since it's Halloween month, but I haven't decided yet.

Otherwise it'll be more Blue Prince because there are achievements to get!

You're a dear friend and a source of light in the world. You're kind and thoughtful. You do your best to make existence better for everyone. We could use a lot more like you in the world.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Last week we asked if you wanted to see new art - and here it is!

This piece, illustrated by @dakotacurry.com, will be featured on the Paragons Starter Kit box set, which will be crowdfunding in early 2026.

What do you think the threat depicted here is? Will the heroes be able to save the day?

An airborne view over the shoulder of a flying hero with black feathered wings looking over a city skyline disrupted by a giant glowing green apparatus that appears to be rising out of the city. Other heroes can be seen in the distance, all approaching the threat. Text over the image reads "Paragons: The Roleplaying Game Starter Kit"

Like many, I've had KPop Demon Hunters stuck in my head for a while now.

Unlike many, I haven't been thinking of them in D&D terms, but instead...

Exalted.

It just makes me want to run a game.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

It's a little bittersweet that this will be my final big ttrpg event lurking in the group chats I can't wait for you all to see these casts and couldn't ask for a better way to close this chapter.

It would mean a lot if you stop by but I know you're busy.

Please shoot me a DM or comment below 🥰❤️

Depends on the style. You could use d20 Modern for it. Or even Cyberpunk.

We'd have 30-45 people in a local game, and so you're fielding the session itself, and everything that happens in what we called 'downtime' since our sessions were real time. It was a lot, but I learned a ton doing it.
