Pretty sure single women in their 50s would happily deal with the scent in order to have a man that reads.

I'm going to very interested in how this is taken and accepted by the Arkham Horror audience. I'll find out after October 30th!

The magic system was challenging, but in a slightly different way. I had to create something new that worked in the current rule framework, is interesting and fun, evoked "voodoo" but in a respectful way. I think I threaded that needle.

This is a weird space to be in, but I think I did it. I went hard and wrote the most accurate history piece I could manage. I was sure they were going to deny it or ask me to tone it down, but it was published pretty much exactly as I wrote it, which is a testament to Edge and the FFG Story team.

I read at least 5 or 6 books, cover to cover about voodoo, its history and practices. Three of those books became my primary sources, which get cited in the final product. I was also careful to separate pop culture voodoo from the real world, but I also had to make something that is fun to play.

This was my most challenging writing so far. I wrote the whole of chapter 2 which all about voodoo. I did a deep dive on the history of voodoo and created a new magic system inspired by it. This was /very/ tricky to do right, but I was determined.

This joke is inaccurate and I apologize. Charles in Charge aired just 13 days after the first episode of Who's the Boss.

"Who's the Boss?" Charles is. We already established that.

Exactly. Even Star Trek is a bit generic but more closely aligns with the theme of exploration.

If Star Wars didn't have such a generic name, what would be better? Something that actually invokes what the story is about.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

Yes, trans in sports is but one of their talking points.

If college is free then we wouldn't need scholarships and then we wouldn't need sport scholarships and then we wouldn't need to be outraged at trans kids playing sports.

When I'm doing an RPG playtesting contract, most of the work is actually "what is the worst way someone can misinterpret this?" instead of "test every weapon and character option combination in an encounter". Its a lot more vibes than math.

Kart, the new downhill racing game from Leder Games, is now on Kickstarter! You're a rowdy tween bombing a homemade gokart through your neighbors' backyards. No brakes, no gas…every turn you go faster and faster, losing control (and spare pieces of your Kart) in the process. BACK IT: bit.ly/KartOnKS

You're right. I'll have chatgpt write me an apology letter to all rats.

Remember when they were able to put microchips on rat brains and make them move around with a game controller? That was fun. Anyway. Mitch McConnell is back.

I’ll probably bungle this explanation, so please give me grace. But having kids of my own has solidified my belief, formed when I teaching, that letting your boys be “raised by the internet” is a sure-fire way to raise a dangerous abuser. It’s not a safe place. It’s not entertaining.

My dad was a Marine. He had an interest in rifles but didn't own any. He also hated nazis. He would have thought the killing of Charlie Kirk was hilarious. I'm sorry he wasn't alive to see it. I'll be laughing extra for you today, Dad

Very few times in my life have I met leadership of a company that isn't completely fucking stupid. "There's no ethical consumption under capitalism" but you choose where your line is. Companies capitulating to fascism is just the norm now and its easier to help others when you have money.
