We're just two or three donations away from $1000! That's already a ton of support for our trans comrades in the South and South West. Real support, with real materials going to real men and women trying to survive in this hellhole. Give the OP another repost, tell a friend, write a thread!

Trans people need us. Let's show up for Austin! Last year, we helped @distributeaid.org raise $15,000 for direct trans mutual aid, funding hundreds of years of HRT supplies delivered straight to our community. Donate $20 for $400 worth of RPGs and help us do it again! itch.io/b/3971/austi...

The graduate admission test had an essay portion where I had to agree or disagree with a statement. The statement was "neutrality reinforces the status quo and allows oppression to happen" I FOUND MY CALLING

It is now up to the fates whether or not I get into the masters program. It's out of my hands. The next six weeks will be hellish waiting.

The song of the Rusałka is ready to echo around the world. The Italian edition paved the way, and the international edition launches on BackerKit starting October 5! Nick Wedig's tragic fairytale RPG about wishes gone wrong will enthrall you with dark, dramatic, card-based play, with no prep or GM.

Old-school Essentials has some real sickos.jpg rules for constructing a castle. Here is a simplified method: Print out this page. Each block costs 1,000 gp for basic construction, or 1,500 gp for a furnished section. Arrange to taste.

I've submitted all required documents for graduate school application. I'm nervous I'm missing something important, and I don't have time to fix things. Graduate admission exam next Saturday, too. Wish me luck.

My partner is trying to get me to play Trench Crusade, a wargame with minis, but can I just say the reason I'm drawn into it is because of that delicious LAYOUT pictured: screenshots of the book interior

The deck for my talk on Failure in RPGs is now at 77 slides! I reckon for the indie RPG crowd, 80% of this will be basic knowledge. I'm anticipating my audience to be beginner or D&D-centric RPG players, so I've adjusted the topic accordingly. We will see on Saturday whether I succeed!

My presentation on failure mechanics and inspired storytelling is shaping up really well. A shame that I won't be able to record it at the event since they don't have the setup to do that. Perhaps a streamed talk is in order?

As it happens, my boyfriend and I got to talking "who would you rather have as a boyfriend? Bear (Obsession) or the Phantom of the Opera?" We strongly concluded that the Phantom would make the better partner, with my boyfriend adding "you gotta respect someone with a labyrinth". Wise words.

What knowledge or skill do you need to be thinking about intentionally passing down? For me, I have to teach all my kids the basics of caning chairs, which is a legacy skill in my mother’s family, and hand sewing to mend textiles, which is part of my life’s work.

I’ve been to funerals, personal and professional, where a huge refrain is regret for the knowledge that died with them, and wishing someone had learned from them. Don’t let this happen to you and your profession, skills, and hobbies.

"what is the OSR" you should literally have to move away from your family's lands and beg to work at an old curmudgeon's megadungeon to get the answer
