The idea that these jackasses could steal the work of innumerable visual artists/voice actors and then ONLY AFTER making moeny off that theft try to give them a paltry sum is insane

If the punishment to a crime is a fine and that fine isn't ALL THE MONEY THEY MADE then why wouldn't they do it?!?!

#TTRPGPrompt (as suggested by a fan!)

With the war finally done and the Victor's chosen there were talks of the battle field being scoured by carrion birds, with one massive Roc catching the eyes of researchers

An expedition has been called to find & examine its nest for the remnants of the past

@raynegrimm.bsky.social Here's an adventure idea/quest line. I can see tracking down stories of a dingus lost on a battlefield leading to having to brave the nests of vultures (presumably roc sized for Adventure!).

Jonathan C Slaght @jonathanslaght.com · 5d

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Tumblr post from fictionadventurer

One of the more profound things I’ve heard recently came from a Mr. Rogers documentary. In a clip from his show, Mr. Rogers had just visited with a musician, and tells his audience that some people play music, and some people don’t, and that’s okay.

And then he said, “The important thing is to find something you feel good about doing.”

That phrasing struck me. “Something you feel good about doing”. Most people would have phrased it as “something you enjoy doing”. Or “something you’re good at doing”. But Mr. Rogers’ subtly different phrasing leads to a profoundly different connotation. “Something you feel good about doing” may not be enjoyable–people who work in hospitals or in disaster zones might not enjoy much of their day, but they probably feel good about helping people. “Something you feel good about doing“ may not be something you’re particularly good at–you may be a terrible artist by any objective standard, but if you feel good about making your art, then it’s a worthwhile endeavor. Looking for “something you feel good about doing” can help you find a truly satisfying life path.

Looking for “something you feel good about doing” can help you find a truly satisfying life path.

That phrase is also helpful with daily decision-making. Too often, I can make choices based on “what feels good.” I put aside tasks that are too stressful or avoid activities that seem too difficult, in favor of mindlessly browsing the internet. And I enjoy myself. I feel good while I’m doing that. But at the end of the day, I don’t feel good about how I spent my time. However, reminding myself to do “something I feel good about doing” can motivate me to accomplish those more difficult tasks. It can push me to do something outside of my comfort zone, to try something new that I might not be much good at. And maybe this is a blindingly obvious philosophy to everyone else. But I’m grateful for the reminder.

It's like people have not learned from "don't put all your eggs in one basket"

Sure the budget allowance CAN have one big guy but he's not gonna last long if everyone's laying into him with a howitzer, use seperate enemies, spread them around, use cover for fucks sake

Rayne Grimm ➡️Furpocalypse @raynegrimm.bsky.social · 18h

Real Talk, and not to make anyone feel bad, but no boss/final fight should ever be a party v 1

Ignoring action economy, debuffs, and stalls it's just lack luster as a scene

Everyone gangs up in them ("surround and slap") and it makes the terrain a second thought. Get some minions in there!

UnseenD4 @unseend4.bsky.social · 10d

If your high fantasy campaign ends in another status quo "showdown with the bbeg" where it's the party vs one single enemy:

Fucking do better. That shit was new and exciting in the PlayStation 1 era. At this point it's a cop-out.

Particularly true if you are running pf2E or D&D5e

I liked when James Baxter used to do occasional guest spots on animated TV shows. I assume studios had a bat signal for him, except instead of a static bat it was a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotated around it

I'm running using the pokemon tabletop United system (1.05+) unfortunately there is alot of Errata so I'll be sticking to some pre Errata rules with some changes like the base stat relations rule turned off (as the designers have suggested)

I really like how they handle things like pcs and pokemon
