I love it when a creator whose works I value has an RSS feed I can load into Thunderbird. I only have it set up for PC tho; I need to work out how to hook it up to my mobile so I spend more reading things from trusted creators than randomly scrolling social media.

Jensen Huang of #NVIDIA wants us calling data centres "AI factories" because they supposedly make things. Let's call them #slopatoriums instead, because the primary output rolling out of these energy vampires is unwanted #AIslop. Ignore the corporate spin of the #Broligarchy and fight #TechFascism

Most of these subsystems are just "do these skill checks in this order and then proceed with the adventure". Influence subsystem is the worst because while chases or infiltration can't be simulated physically by the players, roleplaying an encounter is perfectly possible in a... roleplaying game.

Profound hate for the Influence subsystem both as a player and GM.

Every class has its cross to bear Me, the party healer: trying to get the front liners to sit still for 10 mins of Treat Wounds to refill HP before moving on Them, the ADHD party casters: unscathed and bored, opening random doors, pulling levers and triggering another encounter before 3 mins pass

Just uploaded the first drafts of the last of 107 maps for an historical atlas and my #cartography muscles are aching! Gonna have to take a week (to work on other projects) before I hit the corrections. Time for some drinks. Map-makers out there, this shot's for you! #maps #mapping #celebration

A map of the campaigns and conquests of Timur the Great, 1360-1405. The lands conquered by Timur are coloured in shades of brown, with campaigns picked out with coloured lines.

Oh look! Something has gone wrong with my @paizo.com preorder of Impossible Magic... just like, well, almost every time. It's so frustrating trying to order #Pathfinder products to Australia. Paizo shipping is prohibitively expensive, but supplies to distributors are always unreliable. Catch-22.

Start of a disappointing email re: a purchase of a Paizo Pathfinder 2 product: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong and our supplier is now out of Pathfinder Impossible Magic (Pathfinder Second Edition. For this reason, we have cancelled this title from your order"

That is so weird. I threw the prompt "Tell me a story" at Gemini's temp chat 10 times, and got Silas and Arthur turn up in 4 stories as character names, The Daily Grind coffee shop in 3, mysterious grandfathers in 5, and clockmakers in 4. Some bizarre bunching in these stories!

the world needs more guinea pig cartographers

A guinea pig cartographer works amongst his maps, using his instruments, with a quill and ink next to him on a wooden table; he looks at the viewer obliquely with a black background in a style that is reminiscent of early modern portraiture. The artist enjoys exploring the histories of art through homages to previous paintings in his whimsical works.

Same reason people from the Midwest come to the big city: variety. Everything's the same in their home planes, but in the material plane they get to mix it up with beings that aren't just the same as them. Plus, the material plane is the battleground between warring factions, a source of souls, etc.

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

Quote with your four elements! Air💨 Water🌊 Fire🔥 Earth🏞️

A quadrytch I painted a few years ago using acrylics on canvas. It was vaguely elemental themed, with the elements in clockwork from top-left: Fire (a campfire on a dark night), Water (a frozen waterfall in a cherry blossom wood), Air (lightning emanating from storm clouds), and Earth (a Monarch butterfly on a thistle).

As a cartographer and huge JRR Tolkien fan, I'm frankly nauseated by the decision of @moleskine.bsky.social to use AI for their Lord of the Rings webpage - as if you didn't have a collection of map to choose from (or hire an artist). PAY YOUR ARTISTS. www.instagram.com/reel/DXe8sYm...
