A sincere thank you to everyone who has already watched our new video. I am so grateful to be able to do anything creatively, especially weird, niche, long things like this. This project in total took a year and a half to complete, and I am thrilled that many of you enjoyed it.
So you made a robot stand up and talk... now what? In this over 4-hour journey, Kevin follows the promise of Disney's Living Character Initiative, an effort to populate Disney theme parks with free-roaming, interactive beings. It was touted as the future. How's it going? Watch here: bit.ly/49C6vng

No safety tool would have been able to prevent the extreme bleed that O/U induced in many.

But the whole community took care of each other, and, more than that, the constant bleed led to incredible moments of roleplaying, storytelling, and out-of-character connection.

The bleed was the game.
"Players reported dreaming about Over/Under, losing sleep, even forgetting to eat."

@lincodega.com writes about the intensity of Mothership Month's hyperbaric roleplay experience and the bleed that resulted from a lack of conventional safety tools.
Thirty Days of Bleed
Within a high-pressure, nonstop roleplaying game, denizens of Over/Under found it difficult to extricate their character’s emotions from their own.

My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy?
Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy
Nephew: How???
Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine
Nephew: …
Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

i feel like a lot of the disconnect between the ai boosters and the rest of us is about the fact that they do not think the humanities matter, therefore political, sociological, and cultural critiques don’t matter. “people are using this” is not an answer to “this is a detriment to society”

I strenuously object to the implicit assertion that people don't want to hear about other people's holidays. I do! In Iran they have an outdoor picnic day (Sizdah Bedar). In Japan there's a bean-throwing day (Setsubun). There's a whole world of fascinating rituals and traditions.

hold my hand. I as an ace person give you permission to be ace, to be sex repulsed, to think porn games are icky and yet still believe games with sexual content should exist. it's okay. you're not invalidating yourself by supporting porn games & the people who make them. it's all forms of expression

"This is a good deal if you have a set up like ours, but we won't benefit from this because we have a setup like ours." is such a wild statement if you stop and think about it.
DriveThruRPG's new Partner Shipping Program has drawn criticism from several corners of the tabletop industry, with professionals calling it "a half solution" and an “outright a bad deal”.
DriveThruRPG’s offset print option proves unpopular among small creators
Many cite the steep revenue cut without fulfillment support as a key issue.

Hey. I don't know about y'all. But when I say "Universal" I mean UNIVERSAL.
I don't care whether or not a kids parents can pay for school lunch, just give them access to food if they want or need it.
Period.
Same for healthcare, housing, clean water etc.

“How did you get into ttrpgs?”

Using a pair of tiny silver scissors, I unpicked the hem and climbed inside, where I proceeded to refashion the various pieces until they became a comfortable nest for my own dreams, then I cut star-shaped holes to let my dreams fly. Sometimes there’s a flamethrower.
“How did you get into ttrpgs”

After receiving a full pardon from the governor I found a great deal on a trailer in Malibu and just haven’t had a good reason to get a real job yet.

“We can just use gold to hire mercenaries to do the dungeon instead.”

Ok. The five mercs you hire go on to have an incredibly rewarding adventure slaying monsters, bonding, and come back with badass weapons while you all sit around. Great game, guys. See you next week.
