@kellythompson.bsky.social is always first rate, but Absolute Wonder Woman vol 1 is a masterpiece. So fun, so rich, so inspiring. Actually got chills while reading.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

This week the Outgunned spies vs weird conspiracy game I was running came to its triumphant conclusion. I'm especially thankful for the group that let me try this and made it such a fun ride.

We are a social species, and we have always prevailed through cooperation. Caring for our sick. Raising children we didn't sire or birth because they were part of our village or extended family. We are not breeders and predators, we are communicators and survivors. We evolved to UNITE.

In general, this. Not tonight when I'm running Paranoia though. Depends on the tone you want.
GM Tip:
Narrate failures through the competence of the PCs against a hazardous world.
They're a skilled thief, but the trap is rusted.
They have a glib tongue, but the guard is already being coerced.
They're strong, but even a giant couldn't lift this portcullis.

Turns out the fantasy RPG I've been searching for and trying to build for years is probably just a mild hack of World of Dungeons.

Yeah, I've got a nemesis. It's those double blue underlines in Microsoft Word that want you to throw in commas with the precision of a drunk darts player who hits the bartender in the ass.

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

I have exactly one unhinged TTRPG opinion that also extends to most forms of art
95% of the time, when you say ‘X thing is bad,’ what you really mean and should be saying is ‘I personally did/do not enjoy X thing’
