@mychal3ts.bsky.social I got my library card in my new city today and now I finally feel like a member of the community and really "moved in"! Thanks for inspiring my grown up library joy!

A single use magic item for our D&D mega-campaign today (the "Bullwhip of Adventure") pays homage to Jacques Ze Whipper...

Text that reads:

Spend a Full Round performing tricks (and possibly improvising new lyrics to a popular song) to fascinate all creatures that can hear and see you for up to 10 minutes. Fascinated creatures will take no actions or reactions as long as the performer continues to take Full Round Actions to perform. Being targeted by an Attack Roll or forced to make a Saving Throw ends the fascination effect immediately.

When I proposed this fundraiser, I thought I'd have to argue with them to get them to accept the support of the community, instead I'm glad to say that they practised what they preach to others, and let the community support them through this time of need.

They'll be moving into their new temporary home for the next six months this week, and they wouldn't have been able to make this happen without your outpouring of generosity.

It is with deep gratitude, genuine joy, and more than a little sense of being overwhelmed by your support and kindness - I get to share the news that Andy and Anandi signed on a short term lease and have keys in hand.

Had the very good fortune to see the amazing cast of Rhinoceros at ART. Turturro, Giamatti & Masliany were funny and chilling in equal measure as the town around them succumbed to fascism. Design elements are poignant as always lately with ART, esp a closing image that'll be with me for a while.

More than 60 allegations from women of abuse don't keep you from getting rehired by Image Comics? Cool cool cool. Just take five years off while the heat dies down, I guess. The bar is on the floor and some men still can't clear it. Exhausting.

I'm running an Outgunned Adventure one shot this weekend set in a scifi'ed 1939 where the players are pulling a heist to steal the (shrink ray'ed) Giza pyramids from the British Museum & return them to Egypt before the Nazis can steal the artifacts for themselves. It's called The Pyramid Scheme!

Sunday D&D/Crooked Moon one shot I ran, titled "Biting Cold", for six who played survivors of a train crash caused by an instant supernatural winter brought about by a cursed spirit of cold/starvation and it's husk minions who had already succumbed to the hunger. Exhaustion rules always fun to use!

A D&D hand drawn battle map showing a center with a train crash and four smaller mini maps around the edge representing various side missions the players would encounter during game.

View of battle map along with the forward facing side of the GM screen showing countdown clocks being used to track Warmth and Satiety, along with a reminder for the players about the 2024 Exhaustion rules, and character sheets.

The six pregens for this Crooked Moon session, with a naming convention from the tavern episode of Over the Garden Wall: rather than names, the players used archetypal descriptions: The Virtuoso, The Anointed, The Experiment, The Harbinger, The Weaver and The Gambler.

because I know y’all can’t click and read

1. "Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing.
Speech is the secondary or overlaid function.
Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
2. Drowning people's mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people's mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
3. Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water's surface.
Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
4. Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
5. From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people's bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs."

Rick Moranis looks /really/ good after coming out of retirement for his new movie.

A picture of Skeletor from the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie is over an AI generated news blurb about Rick Moranis returning with the new Spaceballs movie. A line at the bottom declares that the blurb was written by AI, which "can make mistakes".

This has to be one of the most amazing photos ever taken by humanity.. 📸 A total solar eclipse captured from the Moon during Artemis II! Notice the faint 'Earthshine' lighting up the left edge and looking closely at the bottom right... Those tiny bright dots are Saturn and Mars! 👨‍🚀

A breathtaking deep-space photograph of a total solar eclipse captured during the Artemis II mission. A massive, pitch-black lunar disk dominates the centre of the frame, completely obscuring the Sun. Surrounding the Moon is a brilliant, glowing white halo composed of the solar corona and zodiacal light, stretching outwards and fading into the black vacuum of space. On the left edge of the lunar disk, a faint sliver of the cratered surface is visible, subtly illuminated by 'Earthshine' (sunlight reflecting off Earth). The background is a vast, dark starfield. In the bottom right quadrant, two distinct bright dots stand out against the distant stars; the one closest to the lunar edge is the planet Saturn, and the point further to the right is Mars.

Now that I've run the session, here's the latest batch of TTRPG creative shenanigans, with full inspiration credit to the incomparable Deborah Ann Woll. Alt text provides context for what each pic is.

A seed tray where d&d skeleton minis or gold coins are buried in each slot for players to dig up with tiny shovels.

Finished seed tray "battle map" along with tiny shovels for players to use to dig up the buried treasure.

Four pieces of tracing paper showing a red dotted treasure map leading from one X marks the spot to another, lined up horizontally so the lines connect.

When the four pieces of tracing paper are overlaid on top of each other, the pieces of the treasure map spell out the name of the deity who called the players to the treasure hunt as a test.
