DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 9hThe optimist in me sees people decry the Arkansas anti-welfare ad as “racist against white people” and says “Well, wait. Let’s talk about that feeling and how we can connect (and contrast) that feeling with the feelings of marginalized groups.” And then we talk about intersectionality and- 051

DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 31/08/2026If we’re watching media that engages with fictional oppression and I point out the similarities to real life (systemic) racism, and your response is “Can we not talk about that and just enjoy it as a movie?”, that’s white fragility. 0181
Reposted by DM SteveJonaya Kemper @violetriotgames.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Dark Sun is a setting with slavery at the CORE. You can make a game that has these themes... but you better respect the fact that this is a thing happening right now, and a thing that echoed in the souls of the very real world and you should go beyond sensitivity readers. 1261
Reposted by DM SteveJonaya Kemper @violetriotgames.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I mostly agree with this, and I'd go further in one place. If you're going to have things like slavery in a game, you owe it to your players to know the purpose of it being there and to not half ass it. Let's talk about the horror of what it really is and what it means. Or don't do it at all. 48419
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Extremely drunk guy at this airport bar slurred an order for another beer. Waiter asked “Are you sure? Are you going home today or catching another flight?” And he just said “it’s okay, I’m Irish” in the most mid-West American accent. Masterful gambit, sir. 040
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 02/08/2026In terms of de-colonizing your D&D, I asked: What if instead of *getting* magic items, you became the *steward* of a magic item? And... I was shocked. Apparently that is not appealing to some people. I mean fair, but also... that's just not my experience. I gotta think more... 🤔 3150

DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 26/07/2026Using generative AI to distance a creative work from the Asian influences that real humans experienced, absorbed, and then shared is a kind of colonization I don’t think any of us have words for - yet. 2120

DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Yesterday I tried it again. 1h33m. Did 10km first fully (70m30s). Then took 5 min break and then PU, SU, squats in order (17m30s). I felt AWFUL after lol. But today I continue to feast and rest. I’ve eaten so many eggs today lmao. 081
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 01/06/2026So this workout sucked lmao. 1h47m, tho I probably could’ve done it faster. I broke it into 5 even sets, but should’ve taken advantage of my squats and pushups being really strong. But man that run… 💀 080
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 28/05/2026The feedback survey for D&D Beyond Drops opened today. In general, I don't like this direction. I don't like D&D pushing recurring subscription fees and I especially don't like when content is gated behind it. Here's the link if you also want to say your piece. survey.alchemer.com/s3/8854560/D... 051
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 18/05/2026Shadow Sorcery workout. You know it’s GOTTA reference Divine General Mahoraga. Surprisingly, pretty doable. Takes a bit of planning though. 😤 050
DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 07/05/2026Maybe I'll change my mind, but the new D&DB drops frustrate me. Unless you sub, you don't get these spells, feats, backgrounds, etc. Even if I'm sharing a campaign with you, I *can't* share them with you. You *must* subscribe. Maybe these will be included in books later but... 240

DM Steve @dmsteve.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I wish I had the time and energy to sit down and write down all of my thoughts (in a clear and concise way) on how races -> species was a positive move, but never addressed the inherent colonialist views of D&D, which IMO is why "races" was a "problem" in the first place. 0163
