Should Wemrel (the region we are releasing with #ConfluenceRPG) be a land primarily with waffles or pancakes? Given the alliteration... waffles... but... what are your thoughts?

while i do enjoy mocking jay and her minions, i also think it's important to remember that there was a time when the nazi party decided that sexual identity and sexuality posed the greatest threat to the progression of society.

exactly. this.

SprintingOwlDesigns @sprintingowl.bsky.social · 4d

Ttrpg design is wild because half the time you're thinking "I wonder if I can make people do vector calculus to resolve an attack check" and the other half of the time your game is called Monster Butts and the rules are that if a monster hits you with its butt you become a monster.

It has always been our ethos to stand against racism, fascism, and colonialism, and we’re not stopping now. As artists, radical imagination is our tool for carving better worlds into existence — worlds where everyone can live in prosperity and dignity.

Hope is a weapon. Let’s wield it together.
