I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

I have four types of TTRPG characters: * The Quiet Pragmatist * The Lawful Evil (no one else knows) * The Maximized Quirk * The Colorful Weirdo

Running a TTRPG adventure that you wrote is the polar opposite of 'Death Of The Author'. 'The Author Is In The Room And They're Trying To Kill You.'

Currently thinking about my creative work up until now because actually the drive to be a one-person cottage industry that's expected to go toe to toe with the big guys in terms of content and production quality is all big one act of self-harm. And yet this often feels like the norm in indie TTRPGs.

This is something I've always kept in my back pocket but never seen much conversation around. I first saw similar with the GLoG community and I've considered designing something similarly awesome. Death should not be the finite end of a character. They leave behind things and people and memories.

It's been a good morning! Woke up to find that someone had dropped an extremely flattering review of my free gamejam RPG on itch, Dead Psychics Society (a weird Carved From Brindlewood type of thing I tossed together). If you're curious, I've got that posted here: sironyx.itch.io/dead-psychic...

Design problem I keep circling: If a zombie RPG is about replacing your own ruined body parts, I really want each limb to have a resource die that degrades through use. But if that same die also determines how good the limb is at doing things, suddenly every arm is mostly a math decision.

as someone with little to no ttrpg experience before running into girl frame last year, the idea that "GM" and "player" are fully separate groups has always completely baffled me. sure, the GM may be doing things differently to the rest of you, but you're all still playing the game, are you not?

There is no singular RPG for everyone, though I'd like to think everyone has an RPG that works for them, they just need to find it.

poetry is so difficult I don't think I will ever understand it, but it seems to obviously have kinship with beautiful proofs or well-written law/rules texts. something about the weight and precision of the words, I think

Thinking of writing a solo map-making #ttrpg Would it be too much to track damage by how many times you've been prompted to snap your pencil in half? Or is that just right for themes of despair and destruction?

Planning on refining my pitch for the Tuesday Knight Games writer's grant coming up. What are y'all's favorite #mothershiprpg adventures? Looking to devour as many ideas as I can to help me stew on my own and write something truly glorious. Regardless this is something I'm excited to write. #ttrpg

Literally anything. I saw “Haunted Chop Shop” Halloween decor and thought: zombie RPG where body parts are currency. So, that.

I oscillate between Cyberpunk RED and DCC. I love MORK BORG and MOTHERSHIP and Brindlewood Bay and every other indie darling I get my grubby little paws on... But I always seem to return to Dungeon Crawl Classics and Cyberpunk RED

It has been done. My hardly tech-literate ass self set up a website. That was way harder than I thought, but also easier than I expected. gageberry.com Check it out, stress test it, or somethin. I'm ready for bed.
