GM Tip: Give players narrative control sometimes. Let them define a small fact about the world, a rumor, or a relationship to make the game feel more collaborative. #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #gaming

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

... and one of the many lessons I took away from that is, women can and do take enormous amounts of pain that would leave most men lying on the floor crying uncontrollably, and they keep going.

I have had the privilege to actually be in the room where a "whole ass" woman gave birth to a child twice in my life. And that process is as miraculous as any of the histrionic descriptions say it is.

Listen, I am a big fan of John Varley's sci fi storied, okay. But actual real world medical science has not gotten to the point where an AMAB person who transitions to transfeminine can actually give birth, even though Varley was writing stories where that happend back in 1971...

Because some of those comments telling Blumineck to secretly run a DNA tests on his wife because she couldn't possibly be as muscular as she is without being trans... those comments were left of the video where Blum mentioned that she was "the mother of my child" ...

fontfolly.bsky.social @fontfolly.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

But as I said to my husband, the comments that prompted Blumineck to make this video make me angry and a bit ashamed -- the latter, just ashamed to be human because I can't believe some of my fellow humans are as stupid as those commenters...

I hadn't realized that I wasn't already subscribed to Bllumineck's wife's channel, and while I was rectifying I came upon this video, and for many reasons had to share. Love these two, btw... youtube.com/shorts/LZhS_...

A 2,300-year-old silver container in the shape of a scallop-shell decorated with an octopus 🐙 It may once have held cosmetics. From Paternò, Sicily. Altes Museum, Berlin 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a silver shell-shaped container with an eight-armed octopus in relief at the centre of the lid. The arms of the octopus curl outwards across the ridges of the shell’s surface. This ornate shell container has a hinged lid and may once have been a cosmetic container . It is displayed on a clear stand in a museum case. Dimensions: 13.3 × 13.2 × 3 cm. It is part of the Silver Treasure from Paternò, Sicily, a hoard discovered in 1909, consisting of tableware and toiletries. Dated 4th-3rd century BC.

Has your GM ever hit you with a curveball so wild it changed the very fabric of the game world? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A four-panel meme depicting a group of muscular men playing a tabletop role-playing game. Panel 1: A large, muscular man with long blonde hair and a braided beard, acting as the GM, declares, "YOU SEE A WAREHOUSE IN THE DISTANCE." He's holding a tankard and sitting behind a GM screen with "G&G" on it. Panel 2: Three players react. One on the left, with dark hair, eats from a bowl. The middle player, with short blonde hair, looks at his dice. The player on the right, with a beard, leans on his hand, asking, "IS THAT LIKE A WEREWOLF, BUT INSTEAD OF A WOLF THEY TURN INTO A HOUSE?" Panel 3: The GM glares intensely, with "IT IS NOW" in text below him, implying he's incorporating the player's idea. Panel 4: The players are defeated. The GM smiles menacingly at his screen, saying, "YOU GUYS ARE UNDERLEVELED AND OVERFUCKED" and "AND YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED TO PREPARE FOR!" One player cries into his hands, and another is sprawled unconscious on the table. A paper on the table shows a crude drawing of a house with a wolf's head and a stat block next to it that says "WAREHOUSE-WOLF," "HP: 574," and "AC: 12." The unconscious player has a speech bubble saying "Zzzzz."

Ever had your players fall for a mimic's charm? How do you keep them on their toes? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme #ttrpgsky #ttrpgcommunity

Comic of an adventurer warned about a mimic chest. He ignores the warning and approaches a tied-up person. The person turns into a mimic and attacks. The chest mimic says, 'Please stop taking my lunch, Jared.' The person mimic replies, 'Adapt or die, loser.'

How do you handle it when the dice completely derail your planned encounter? #ttrpg #dnd #rpg #meme

A six-panel meme titled "GMs after an accidental TPK" showing a man in period costume going through stages of realization: first saying "I won", then "I won ??", followed by "WAIT A MINUTE", then "I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO WIN", next "LET ME SEE THE SCRIPT", and finally looking down at papers labeled "medium difficulty encounter".

As I was closing the window on the work computer and switching to another task, I muttered aloud to myself, "Today is Tuesday." And immediately a song from the old Mickey Mouse Club popped into my head: "Today's Tuesday, you know what that means? We're gonna have a special guest!"

Yesterday, I logged into work, answered email, and then joined a weekly department meeting... only to have my boss tell me I was supposed to be on vacation. I had taken Friday off for my birthday, I forgot that I'd also put in for Monday off, to make it a long weekend. So I logged out...

Thinking a lot lately about the men I know who are willfully ignorant about power dynamics and how I don’t *know* they’ve done anything specifically worse than be willfully ignorant about power dynamics but also if I had to guess which of my acquaintances had, I’d guess them first.

Alas, due to my poor planning, even though I have been to at least one subsequent convention where the other author attended, I forgot to bring the book to get signed.

I read an ebook version of this in time to vote for it in the Hugos the year it came out, and was so happy to be able to buy the hard cover and get it signed by one author at that same year's Locus Award Weekend.

(Although there is at least one Doctor Who serial from that era featuring the Master as the villain that I only recently got the discs for and I don't think I'ver ever seen this one before, so there is still hope!)

fontfolly.bsky.social @fontfolly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

And especially serials such as The Mind of Evil where the Doctor's arch nemesis, The Master, also employees "Venusian Karate" on people. Though sadly I haven't seen the Doctor and the Master use it against each other...

fontfolly.bsky.social @fontfolly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Anyone who scoffs when those of us who lived through the 1970s insists that it is absolutely true that EVERY one was Kung Fu fighting, should be forced to watch John Pertwee era episodes of Doctor Who in which the Doctor subdues various bad guys using "Venusian Karate" (pronounced Kah-rah-TAY)

You can often recognize the evil variant from a parallel universe of someone you know to otherwise be good by either them having a perfectly trimmed goatee which they never did, or by wearing an eye patch which they never have had before.

The fact that opera cloaks, particularly black opera cloaks with satiny red or purple lining are not the current style is truly, truly a crime.

However, in part because some old Doctor Who serials that have been restored somewhat recently came to me as birthday presents this week, and I am watching a bunch of classic who and I have some observations/lessons learned from them...

fontfolly.bsky.social @fontfolly.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

I should preface this with saying that years ago a friend shared a give that shows all the actors who had played Doctor Who from Hartnell through Tenant with the words "My favorite Doctor is which ever one I'm watching now" and that definitely describes me...
