The imagination and playfulness that come out of new players who don't fully know where the line is between player and GM are unmatched. A good example is the Dungeons and Drag Queens season of Dimension 20

I've told this joke before but idc: the bat signal for James Baxter is a horse running in perspective towards the camera while the camera rotates around it

Hello, my name is Alex Goldman and if you know me, it's probably from a podcast called Reply All. Some folks had strong feelings about that one. Anyhow, I have a new show called Hyperfixed that has almost 100 episodes, and I would love for you to check it out if you have a chance. hyperfixedpod.com

I adore it! Genuinely a great catalogue of enjoyable and memorable episodes. Also a good candidate for "familiar things to put on to fall asleep to", so, it's versatile

There’s a symbol currently going around in Minnesota called the Rebel Loon. It’s a symbol of rebellion against ICE, and the current tyranny of this nation. Im not from Minnesota, I’m from New York. So I decided to draw a symbol based of the Rebel Loon to show my support using my state’s bird.

But this depiction of festive carousing and romance is a form of escapism D&D tables partake in so, so frequently - no matter how big the monster manual is.
010
Gage | Rats in the Walls @gages.garden · 21/10/2025
My big thing is: slice of life romance occurs in D&D so frequently that to claim it's not what D&D "does" is silly. Yes, D&D pays lots of consideration towards turn based combat. But a system also is what it does. Sure, D&D is not a cyberpunk horror game, even if some tables stretch it to be. 1/2

I mean, the whole point of this site was not just "Twitter alternative" but "Twitter alternative where you have ownership over your account & its content, and can move your data to other clients / servers instead of starting fresh every time you want to leave a website"

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

Rats in the Walls, the forged in the dark game about rodent adventures in a haunted, clockwork manor, has a new logo sketch and went through four playtest oneshots recently that all went super well! #forgedinthedark

Goddamn. @agoldman.bsky.social's reporting on the complex and dramatic history of the cat drug black market - the Facebook-based amateur veterinarian ring helping cats afflicted with a specific feline illness - was unbelievable. Kudos on the amazing series. Everyone should listen to this.

Rats in the Walls, the roleplaying game of rodent stealth and survival in the walls of a Victorian manor #forgedinthedark, just had its fourth playtest in one week, and it's holding up really well! Excited to keep cracking away at it and show more of it to people

My guess is a change in DM + a change in system would have been too risky a change in formula for a main campaign

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

Yes, but in fairness, a lot of those readers were children

And the readers were of a different age. I don't blame middle schoolers from the 2000s for not recognizing transmisogyny, etc.

The way you could hear a pin drop the moment after Caesar shouted "NO!" in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The way it earned that moment, despite being a "prequel" to the talking apes franchise, was great.

Can we agree that this began and ended with you just being mad, and a member of the house voting no on a bill sending aid to Israel is seemingly less important to you than how well she predicted your ability to read a tweet

Gage | Rats in the Walls @gages.garden · 20/07/2025
First you say it's damage control for how she voted and then you say it's damage control for something else and then you say it's her fault for your misunderstanding what she was saying.

She lead with that because the controversy was about her vote on the amendment. People wanted to know why she didn't vote for the amendment. She already spoke previously on why she voted no towards the bill itself.

Ah, "of course I voted no" and "I also voted no against the full bill that contained this appropriation" seemed to cover all the bases regarding her support for the bill - I've been reading articles and searching for twenty minutes with no ability to get a straight answer

This. 100% this. Not only are we more likely to listen to our friends talk about games they like but we're also more likely to trust their opinions. Many spaces online self-promotion isn't allowed or is pushed into a space where folks are unlikely to read it. Be vocal about the games you like.

If Trump demanded it personally he would have demanded he stage a WWE style takedown of the man, he did not orchestrate a plot in which the secret service squirrel him away with an injury to part of his face
