And, as long as I'm boosting campaigns in progress, let's keep the Scratchpad Publishing reprint effort flying.

hivemind, assemble! Looking for a solid black lipstick, matte preferred, that won't budge after 5 minutes of talking. I've tried Nyx but I'm hoping there's something more sturdy out there.

A view from "The Lost Boys"

I'm glad that I don't have any of these, but check your fridge to stay safe, y'all. www.wbaltv.com/article/kaye...

1) I thought we all knew that bird people are even worse than horse people (and only slightly behind gun people) in this department. Beware. 2) Editor is not the same role as fact-checker. 3) What a shitty thing to say when his editor has probably stopped him showing his arse a hundred other ways.

Daggerheart fun fact: If you sort the cards in the core set right, the ones you need to make a starting character (kin, class foundation, background, and tier 1 powers) fit in the first two sections of the card tray. The others can be tier 2, tier 3, tier 4, and class specializations and masteries.

Checking out the opening of the new neighborhood game store. Enormous space, wide selection. I wish them all the luck.

Favourite detail: the elves must not be caught by humans, on pain of death. They are issued with a special pill in a hollow tooth, and if they are about to be captured or fatally injured they must bite down on it. Within thirty seconds their body is transformed into an Elf on the Shelf doll.

Have nailed a fast-and-dirty group character-generation system for short RPGs: takes ten minutes to build a tightly integrated group with balanced abilities, interrelationships and back history. The bad news is I'm using it for CAROL OF DUTY, my forthcoming RPG of Spec Ops Elves on Christmas Eve.

Now is a good time to figure out what you’ll use instead of DDB if the union calls for a boycott. (Hat tip to our Friday night warlock for thinking ahead and starting that conversation for our game)

The Ghost Market is live! I think of Eidolon as "part Sweeney Todd, part Dracula and part Neuromancer" - adventure in a city where ghosts are the foundation of industry and technology. Check it out—we could use your help bringing it to life!

Brazilian all-you-can-eat barbecue is "the meat faucet." This has extended to other cuisines; AYCE sushi is "fish faucet."

Ok this is the favorite commission for day 2. The prompt was "ghost rider as a mail carrier"

Picking up another abandoned piece from last year, or maybe two years ago? Yay Gorgons! 🐍🐍🐍

Holy shit. Someone has decompiled the Adobe suite, rebuilt it in Rust and released it as open source. Either all software is dead or the US copyright laws are about to receive an update. getartcraft.com/apps

As shared in the latest @rascal.news newsletter: "Edge Cases: Deckbuilding as Gameplay in On the Edge." I don't know if you've seen this, @jonathantweet.bsky.social, but I found it interesting, or at least entertaining. escholarship.org/uc/item/2gt8...

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

OMG I had to check my work emails regarding an extra case in court tomorrow and I've just read this from an HR person. "on a knee to nose basis" A KNEE TO NOSE BASIS 😳

I was one of the jurors for this. :)

This also suggests that when Aunt May says to Peter Parker, “You’re not Superman, you know,” she might have just been calling back to something she heard as a child or from an older relative.

Wild thing I learned earlier today -- the phrase "This is a job for Superman" predates Superman. I found citations as early as 1909.

... incredible. No notes.

There are a lot of candidates, but I think my answer is Archon II. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archon_...

Had such a fun time seeing @cheekface.bsky.social with Apes of State and SAD13 in Boston! Singing along has never felt so cathartic.

What a great show that was! What a fun crowd. Apes of the State and Sad13 were also a delight but do not have BlueSky handles.

This is a new experience for me; I am definitely the oldest person in line for this show by at least a decade, maybe two.

Off to see @cheekface.bsky.social at the Brighton Music Hall.

And now, RIP Gerrit Graham. First Frank, then Beef.

Absolutely lost my shit at this co-op mode for Hearts of Iron, which you play as the Army, Navy, Emperor, and Government. All have their own win conditions aside the Government, which lost the game automatically in 1925. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
