If you are a British citizen please consider signing this petition for the UK Goverment to rejoin the EU:
petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

The Brexit campaign was a lie. There have been zero "Brexit benefits".

I had a small part in helping @cannibaal.bsky.social get the World of Greyhawk Gazetteer Revised put together:
www.dmsguild.com/product/5035...

We started work the day Greyhawk was announced for the DMG and wrote stuff up until the DMG went live on DnD Beyond. Then reevaluated everything.

I wonder if @colinmcc.bsky.social playtested his "The Elf Campaign" concept.

It starts as an "Arcane Age: Elven Utopia" thing, but at the last moment he throws in a "...or maybe human and orc nations destroyed each other in a world war" twist.

Is it Elven Zardoz or Planet of the Apes with Elves?🤔
AD&D 2nd Edition fans: Have you ever tried to expand out any of the six campaign setting concepts from PHBR8 The Complete Book of Elves?:

Big Mac has taken a detailed look at "The Elf Campaign" and wants to hear the thoughts of others.

I'll be at The Piazza Birthday Chat and hope to meet fans of various D&D campaign settings and talk to them about what makes them like that setting.

@lastpositivist.bsky.social is talking about how small an area you mean, when you live in Greater London and talk about "going to London".

Meanwhile, whenever I get a train beyond Zone 6, I've got this scene, from Star Trek, playing in my head:

I'm cisgender but strongly feel that equal rights means not punching down on other groups.

Happy #TransDayOfVisibility

I hope everyone is safe, but if you need help, scroll down for some information from awesome Canadians and their Rainbow Railroad refugees program. 🇨🇦 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈⚧️

@supertanskiiii.bsky.social Two questions:

1) Did you got permission from @emmakennedy.bsky.social to take over her Nostradamus gig?:

2) Are you going to be wearing the same costume as her, when you appear with the two guys?

@kithonline.bsky.social Please would you arrange for Mark McKinney to do a follow up Jeff Douglas's "We Are Canadian" video:

I think the entire world needs to see Elon Musk having his head crushed!

Erm. Thanks, but no thanks @nofiltersgpt.bsky.social.

I've already had one AI company do a data raid on my D&D campaign setting website and knock it offline.

You can go into the block bin.

Let's see if my petition about nationalising the beach that Stennen Cove lifeboat station is built on goes through.

See the @ledbydonkeys.org video for more details on King Charles III extracting money from this lifeboat station.

I just found a very interesting thread (from several months back) by @jesseheinig.bsky.social. If you like D&D campaign settings (like I do) it's well worth a read.

There's an interesting phenomenon coming out of Wizards of the Coast now that hearkens back to the era of D&D design in the '90s, but it's being navigated in a way that makes the outcome seem a little less rosy.

Turning mediaval Dublin into a fantasy RPG city sounds like a super-cool project. I wonder how much historical information there is on Ath Cliath.
One of my current assignments is to #map out medieval Dublin (called Ath Cliath) in its entirety for the fantasy #RPG ‘Fate of the Norns’. The system agnostic labeled & unlabeled art come with multiple grid options. It’s a lot of fun to draw everything from taverns to laundry shops like this one.

Check out this amazing #13thAge sourcebook, called Red Moon and Warring Kingdoms, for #Glorantha that Escalation fanzine have helped get out to the world.

This thing is 346 pages long and free to download.
