Shadowboard is a free web tool I built for #Shadowdark RPG GMs to use at the table, automating and assisting with a handful of things: light timers, round-timers, turn-tracking. It's meant for a laptop or iPad and does not play nicely with a phone-sized display. www.duelinmarkers.com/shadowboard/

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

Due to intense health issues, I will not be available for any further art commissions for the rest of the month.

I will still be working on personal creative projects, but at my own pace.

If you'd like to support me financially, I made a bundle of all my paid stuff: itch.io/s/171477/sup...

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."

A great thread with some great links I need to check out. For my part, the layout on Mum Chums has recently been completed and I'm just about to order print proofs. Download the pdf (community copies available), offer feedback, and if you can give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the algorithm that would be ace!

Whenever folks bring up the history of cops and government officials undercutting protest movements and escalating police response via duplicitous action, there is inevitably a chorus of disbelievers.

Well, this is as as clear and current as it gets.
NEW: “Former LA Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb City Hall Last Year”

Sounds like the deputy mayor called in a fake bomb threat in an attempt to set up pro-Palestine organizers. Wonder what the city attorney's role is in all of this: www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...
