An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Interesting. Mulligan has always expressed politics that appeared in line with Mamdani’s more progressive approach to policy. Now he’s helping in the NY election while living on the other side of the US.

Today is the release of Stranger Things: Welcome to the Hellfire Club! I couldn't have asked for a better adventuring party on this one.

Last week, we Wizards gathered to celebrate the set at the office. We hope you have as much fun with it as we did. 🎃 #WOTCstaff #dnd #strangerthings

A copy of Welcome to the Hellfire Club on my bookshelf. It's surrounded by D&D books.

Me and several staff members pose for a picture at a table in the office strewn with components from the boxed set. We are happy!

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Five plastic miniatures - four humans and a statue of a plinth, with a winged lion standing on an open book. The four humans are clothed in assassin's robes and hoods and armed with swords and other weapons, in the style of the Assassin's Creed II video game. Miniatures from Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood of Venice by Triton Noir.

I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience.

It's a 4-part series (I know, I know). One article a day. Today's lays out my goals and puts the focus on awards in general.

This morning I'm working on a post about how I'm seeking more work... & got word that a couple of assignments should be coming soon. While this is rad, it's sadly not enough. If you're an editor or somewhere looking for staff to write about lifestyle, politics, tech, commerce, or more, let's talk!
