Updated to v1.1 based on a bunch of player feedback, the playtest package for the #CORE20RPG includes the full “Playtest Player’s Guide” and “Playtest Magic Grimoire” — the entirety of the player-and-GM-facing rules of the game — plus a 180-strong creature package and guidelines for GMs.

The #CORE20RPG is a new approach to d20 fantasy, built on a foundation of freeform characters with no classes and no levels. It turns the aging “pass/fail” core d20 mechanic into fuel for shared storytelling — and you can play for free right now!

The covers of the CORE20 playtest PDFs, with art with Xavier Beaudlet. The “Playtest Player’s Guide” features an adventurer and their white tiger companion looking out at a haunted tower. The “Playtest Magic Grimoire” features an adventurer stepping into a glowing portal in a dark forest. The “Playtest GM Guidelines” features a shadowy archway opening up into a jungle ruin. And the “Playtest Creature Package” features a red dragon awaiting an adventurer standing in the entrance to their cavern lair.

A picture of Barack Obama accepting the Nobel Peace Prize, and a picture of Donald Trump being given the Nobel Peace Prize of María Machado. Text below reads: Funny how the Black guy earned his Nobel Peace prize while the white guy who got rid of DEI to "focus on individual merit" had to take the prize from a Latina woman who earned it.

Just updated the system software on my Mac. I use randomly shuffled AD&D module art as my desktop background. This happened.
An illustration shows three adventurers in a dungeon, standing before a great green devil face — a legendarily lethal trap from the equally lethal D&D adventure “Tomb of Horrors.” Written across this image in friendly script is the word “Welcome.”

Bugs Bunny (a sly-looking anthropomorphic rabbit) wears a tuxedo and looks dashing. Text alongside him reads: I wish all union-busting video game studios a very fuck you.

That feeling when you need to use your laptop, but the blue dragon and the displacer beast guarding it have other ideas.
In the foreground, a black laptop computer sits closed. A can of Coke Zero stands nearby. On top of the laptop sit two small stuffies of a tiny blue dragon and a derpy babty displacer beast. A Christmas tree can be seen in the background.

Have an enlightened holiday, everybody.
To the right, a Christmas tree is festooned with white lights and ornaments. To the left, a wooden statue of the Buddha sitting cross-legged wears a Santa hat. Behind, through the living room windows, snow is falling against a field of evergreens.

Solstice walk.
A wide image of marshland, a lake behind it, and mountains behind that. Scudding cloud covers the sky but reveals patches of bright blue beyond. The cloud is tinged pink-orange above the mountains as the sun sets behind them.

The number 1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

This tracks, actually.
The poster for the film “The Exorcist,” featuring a silhouetted figure standing on a dark, foggy street.

A picture of an old white man (Bernie Sanders), who is saying in text below the image: I am once again asking for manufacturers of computer peripherals to stop using black-on-black as a color scheme to label what their freaking ports do!

Oh, no. I somehow forgot to give Discord access to all my personal data and interactions. Whatever will I do.

Introduce yourself with four spaceships.
The Eagle lander from the “Space: 1999” TV series. The X-Wing fighter from the original “Star Wars” film. The Azhanti High Lightning from the Traveller boardgame of the same name. The Legion Cruiser from the “Legion of Superheroes” comic.

I don’t want to tell WestJet their business, but I feel as though taking a bus from Paris to Calgary is going to be slightly problematic!
An airport sign indicating that the WestJet flight to Calgary is now boarding by bus.

This sixteenth-century painting by Daniele da Volterra has clearly been created using AI, just look at those chonky finger-toes, I am outraged at the Louvre’s lack of a clear anti-AI stance in its curation policies!
An amazing oil painting depicting the battle between David and Goliath. Goliath is on the ground, trying to defend himself against David. David stands astride Goliath, ignoring Goliath’s hold on his left arm as he prepares to stab down with a shortsword in his right hand. Both figures are barefoot. Both have suspiciously long toes.

Today I learned that sometimes at the Louvre, they pull a couple of people out of the massive crowd in front of the Mona Lisa and let them come up in front of the barrier and take a nice close look.
A picture of the painting La Joconde (the Mona Lisa) by Leonardo da Vinci, looking not great because it’s behind bulletproof glass. For proper alt text, please see any article describing the Mona Lisa.

I pulled into Nazareth…
An exit sign on a freeway marks a rest stop called “Nazareth.” Internationally recognized symbols indicate the presence of parking, food, a place to sleep, and fuel.
