Tv show idea: President Necromancer A political work place sitcom about a lich president. First episode: scandal erupts when the press learns the President is sleeping not at the White House, but Arlington national cemetery. #pitch #pilot #tv #writing #Halloween

I think for the next Smash Bros, Id like a smaller roster but 3d, like Power Stone for the DC. Probably add another button for movement/Dodge specials (like the up B for recovery or Fox's dash). Been watching @sora-sakurai.bsky.social YouTube channel, and got me thinking about it. #gamedev

Had a dream last night where I grabbed someone by the collar and said: "I will beat you to death with my bare hands and I will do it as a wizard." Which is just so unnecessarily visceral. I gotta take things down a notch. #dnd

Wintermoore 1.15 is here! I've added Guard Routes, Secret Passages, Zone Battles, Deck Battles, a few new monsters, additional art, and a revamped character sheet! Likely the final update. aguerom.itch.io/wintermoore-... www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4... #ttrpg #dnd #indiedev #harrypotter

The 1.14 version of the character sheet.

The 1.15 version of the character sheet, which is better and prettier in minor but distinguishable ways.

I think it would be neat if Bards got a bonus for each Follower/Retainer of the OTHER pc's. Turns the Bard into a wingman hyping up their friends, expanding the party and their own bonus at the same time. #dnd

Given all the #MonsterWeek discussion: Is Espionage the sci-fi/modern equivalent of Fey? You have to be careful what you say, what you eat. Contracts. Bargains and blackmail. Secrets and hidden knowledge. Literal honeypot operations. Something to think about.

Interesting cultural compare/contrast between Excalibur and the gun in Control. The Brits form an orderly queue to see who gets to be king and lead an order of holy knights. The Americans have a cursed roulette gun that gives you the power of bureaucracy. #games #writing #ttrpg

#Amazon having drivers deliver in this weather is straight up negligence. Half the roads aren't even plowed yet. Dude had to park his van at the top of the street and walk packages down over ice. The packages can wait a day it isn't that important.

Anyone who is part of the federal government who is not doing everything in their power to stop this administration, regardless of the assumed cost to normalcy or career, is a coward and a collaborator.

Nothing like an eleventh hour book sale to make my year. Hope whoever bought their book today enjoys it! #booksky

Look, I am very small potatoes as an author. I make too little in royalties to live off them. But I can tell you the reason I got to write my 2nd book was bc the sales of the 1st were very good. That's what else you're eating into by pirating, our ability to keep writing what you claim to love.

Many ways to pass a torch.

I GUESS THE FAMILY LEGACY WILL END WITH ME...

HOW SAD AND SHORT SIGHTED TO REDUCE YOURSELF AND ANY LEGACY TO GENETICS.

THERE ARE FAR GREATER THINGS YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO YOUR KIN'S FUTURE. YOU CAN HELP BUILD A FOUNDATION...

...WITH CREATIONS AND TEACHINGS THAT WILL RIPPLE ACROSS TIME.

Saw something rather sad today. There's a hollow in my tree where the big ants live. And all the way across the deck an ant dragged its dead companion, trying to get it somewhere. I lifted the pair on a leaf, the live one keeping desperate hold on the dead. And got them back to their hollow.

Great video from JP on the Tariffs and TTRPGs. Love when creators break down their costs like this. #TTRPG #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYXw...

You think about life. What is the mechanical benefit of death? It's purely narrative, and yet everyone does it. Thus it must be an integral part of the play experience. #gamedev

I honestly think this is why the world is so broken. My job stopped being "provide a good guest experience and make this hotel function" and started becoming "lie to guests about why we don't have a room for them" We have to stop tolerating shit like that.

There used to be a massive dead tree near my house. Every year hundreds of crows would flock to it for a multi-day crow symposium. They cut the tree down, and now those same crows are dive bombing people as they come out of 7-11. Let that be a lesson to you.

Parks are both tame and untamed, between yard and wilderness. The liminal space of nature.

Hey, level designers, if you've got a mission that revolves around platforming to the top of a castle, maybe don't put it in the game with the flying fucking broom.
