Wouldn't you know it... Kristin played Zombie Dice Horde Edition by Steve Jackson Games again recently! You need to eat as many tasty brains as you dare, without getting shotgunned. It's a ton of dice rolling zombie fun. What have you been playing? #WhatDidYouPlayMondays

I thought this whole selling of indulgences thing was settled a while ago.

I was raised by a devil dog (as he'd say, he served a combined 40 yrs in Marines/Army, WWI/WWII vet), my father was in the Army, other father was in the Navy (both Vietnam vets). I live in a Navy town. I have never served, but I am steeped in military culture and traditions. This makes me so proud.

I have never ONCE wavered on my belief in the Corps. Even when they got bullshit orders to go to LA I knew they wouldn't hurt civvies and ratfuck those orders as much as possible. And now to see them giving a hearty fuck you to Kegsbreath makes me SO DAMN happy. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Not only did this take me almost 7 hours to export, import, verify, and reorganize it took me close to 25 minutes to cancel with SIX tries to delete my account and all the while it asking me to stay. NOPE. Next to impossible to cancel and delete my data. Whole damn day gone from this bullshit.

Oh, Evernote you can fuck right off. These bastards are holding my files hostage because I had premium and let it drop so now i have to pay to access them because it was over 50 files. FUCKING DIGITAL PROTECTION RACKET.

First 5 TTRPGs played: 1. Vampire 2. in Nomine (hiatus I discussed yesterday with one of my doctoral committee members who played D&D & wondered if I had been secretly playing during my PhD. I had not.) 3. D&D 5e 4. Blades in the Dark 5. I truly do not remember? Like, total blank.

"How did you get into tabletop roleplaying games?" I read my (POS) step-father's Krynn novels and DnD books at 8 and had my first game at 10 with my foster brother and was GMing by 11. Fox is a gamer and it brought us together in a relationship that's almost 30 years old. Still gaming with her. <3

"How did you get into tabletop roleplaying games?" I got talked into trying it by various friends but I loved the idea of immersive and interactive storytelling with no more than imagination. #ttrpg #indierpgs

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

And they bitched that giving authors $3K a pop to split with their publishers for stealing our shit would break them.

would someone mind dumping a gallon of apple juice on whatever rack this thing lives on

What she prayed. I don't pray. God and I don't see eye to eye on things and I have few kind words should He exist...but I will pray for this man who we so desperately need in the world right now. You listening up there? Even this jaded agnostic fuck is asking you spare this one. Please.

Almighty and everlasting God, hear our prayers for your servant Leo XIV, who is sick: grant him, we implore you, your merciful help, so that, with his health restored, he may give you thanks in the midst of your Church. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

I...think... I am where I am supposed to be and I am terrified of it. This is not home, but it's trying to be. My road has gone to the north and the land calls to me here in a way I have rarely felt. Who knew it would be in New York and why now?
