Ah here, it's clearly e-scale. Electronic scaling. Sad that they didn't go with -omatic for the end but they didn't pluck escalator from nowhere.

Pitch: It's that movie trope where an awful person gets sent to an alt reality and comes out the other end better. Except the opposite. Random guy/gal is thrown into the Always Sunny universe and can't leave until they're as awful as the gang.

Seeing a lot of incorrect fancasts for Dungeon Crawler Carl. I know they're incorrect because the only right answer is Muppet Crawler Carl.

Lovely touch by the Michael set design and production team adding an alien ant farm into the background of every scene.

Normalise calling your GM a 'wittle pee pee coward' when they reach for dice to arbitrate an outcome they know in their dark hearts hasn't socially gone their way.

Love the HP discourse around book accuracy comparing the cast, wardrobe, production choices between the original and HBO's reboot. Here's a fun one; Original: Harry's vocal performance hints at the nuance of sleeping under a stairwell HBO: Harry's vocal performance actively funds anti-trans orgs

Book nerds be like "It's one of the great American novels" and then it's just 700 pages and 4 generations of fixing a farm until the youngest of seventeen kids toys with the possibility of one day, maybe, moving to a city.

I'm writing a bit fiction at the moment, and I've realised I'm a writer who routinely goes "Doesn't matter if most of the chapter is dogshit, that line is great." So dear readers, one self-acclaimed good line per chapter. That is what I offer you.

Listen, I leave a mean voicenote. I'll yap all day. But sometimes, I can't listen and a transcribe button would be unreal.

Voicenotes should have a 'transcribe' option. Best of both worlds.

Bad news: I'm so bad at this, it's taken me 22 days to plug this show. Good news: doesn't stop you giving it a watch on YouTube now. Pop over to @hearthfiretales.bsky.social, click them links, sit back, tie your socks down, because otherwise they'll be blown right off.

Emmet is SO close to hitting his next stretch goal, which will add a new subclass for each class in the book! Let's give him a hand and get the word out there! I also have selfish reasons for sharing because I need the Doomspeaker subclass for the Storyteller 'coz it sounds metal as hell 🤘

Crap, I've just come across a new mechanic I'm going to shoe-horn into every game I GM now. Cross-checks - roll two skills, take the higher/lower and the result will be flavoured accordingly e.g. sussing out the vibe of a forest, roll nature/survival.
