My latest work: in Autumnal Conductor, Proserpina must travel through the pit of the underworld, turning sinners and kings into her devoted women: lesbians, a festival of sex and violence; a living mythology of you

Autumnal Conductor by Cybernetic Coven

A goddess must rely on those that hate her the most if she is to have any chance of seeing home again.

"What about HEAT"

HEAT is as "generic" as Feng Shui

Lhuzie Mummified Phoenix @strigarosa.bsky.social · 2d

I really don't believe in generic systems anymore.

People taking an all-encompassing anti-discourse stance in the TTRPG space are all too often doing a poorly veiled version of "no politics in gaming" BS. It's very easy to disregard discourse when you're comfily couched in a play culture that caters to your own political bedrot. It isn't so for...

no no the publishing industry is doing fine, why do you ask

A screenshot from Publisher's Lunch:
Jennifer L. Armentrout and Hellmann's
In a promotion designed for BookTok enjoyment, Jennifer L. Armentrout’s just-published THE PRIMAL OF BLOOD AND BONE is available in a special, limited-edition "garlic-scented copy, infused with Hellmann’s Garlic Aioli to create a one-of-a-kind, Craven-proof book." They explain: "This exclusive edition is printed with garlic-infused ink, designed to ward off Armentrout’s bloodthirsty monsters, the Craven. While humans may dread garlic breath, Hellmann’s has cleverly transformed this social faux pas into an unexpected – and delicious – form of supernatural protection."

After the death of her friend, independent detective Isadora tries to meet the demands of every powerful person in the city: don't ask questions. Unfortunately, her nature and fate have other plans.

A trans lesbian retelling of a classic crime noir.

The first time I laid eyes on Akakios, child of Diodotos, xe was drunkenly trying to start a high-end turbobike outside the Draped Vine. Xe had a young-looking face, but xer hair was bone white and xer slight yet toned arms were covered in fading scars. I could tell by xer eyes that xe was wasted, but otherwise xe looked like every hard-working sailor I drank with in those days; it was a strange sight for a high-end establishment like the Vine.

Behind the sailor was a girl. Her hair and dress were a deep red—like blood oozing from a wound—and her disinterested smirk marked her as the kind of woman I would have let walk all over me. Her skin was nearly as pale as Akakios' hair. The elegance of that woman almost outmatched the elegance of the bike. Not quite.

A rather annoyed parking attendant stood next to the bike, one hand holding it steady as xe struggled with the controls. The man was the usual half-tough character in ostentatious white garb, with the name of the bar displayed on his crisp suit in dark purple. He was at the end of his rope.

"Look," he said, his voice as sharp as a knife, "you've got to move the bike. I can even turn it on for you if it gets you out of here faster." He reached for the controls but yelped when Akakios slapped his hand away.

You *have* to have minigames on PbtA, because the damn thing is a framework without engine. This is why they kept pointing to Firebrands as a PbtA to get people to get it.

They don't.

How those system exploit disabled labor, how they neglect disable safety and comfort, how disabling they are... well, all those are not Persons. So they are folded into abstraction if even acknowledged.

Utterly absent is the personhood of the legions of microworkers and gig workers. It is all about the identitarian personhood of a real or invented Real Person and the Apps as some Evil, albeit an abstracted, purely ideological one. The Apps are not evil by what they are and do, but because they be

It is validity powered by the un-people that only exist to die for my "self" to be reaffirmed and "protected" and made "comfortable" and "safe"; indirectly or sometimes directly.

It is how every conversation about food apps, is always about some Real People that Need Them and the Apps.

"Comfort/Safety performance" requires visible effects of someone else's life being subject to violence, made more dangerous, made more precarious. It is not accident, it is how it works. Not at making you "safe", it does not. But it makes your identity "real", this is why it is identitarian.

"Security" and "Safety" is literally actually just precarity and "enemification" of the marriage of necropolitics and psychopolitics. Both Mbembe and Butler lay pretty clear that the identarian concept of safety is only satisfied by displacing danger and violence to someone else.

I think Magic: The Gathering is at an extremely bad place right now, and I think the recent Spider-Man set is a true low point. I went slightly wild in my @endlessmode.bsky.social column this week about it. Tune in for the phrase "suckling hogs" www.endlessmode.com/tabletop/mag...

Marvel’s Spider-Man and Through the Omenpaths Are A Bad Omen For Magic’s Future

Magic: The Gathering fans have been dealt a bad hand with the card game's unexciting, misguided new Spider-Man set.

Since posting this on itch slightly less than 48 hours ago, there have been 60 newer titles.

I've also fallen off the 'newest titles' band on the DTRPG homepage, which only goes back to yesterday.

It requires zero genre knowledge, and you may actually need to do some unlearning to get the most of it.
