As someone who just started reading Tanith Lee, I think we should all be talking more about how good Tanith Lee is.

Love this Pride Parade poster from 94 in the back hallway at City Hall
90s style pride parade poster with disappearing block letter, a stylized Vancouver cityscape at night, with a large pink triangle behind it. There’s a rainbow gradient in the background. At the bottom is a list of sponsors which includes Molson and Labatt, as well as Man Talk and Dollar King.

I understand that lots of youtubers/podcasters need to take sponsorships to make a living, but I do think they should deliberately make the ad reads boring, on principle.

Because it came up a bit over the weekend, I'm going to reiterate something here for all my #ttrpg designing pals, new & old. Using AI can only shrink your audience. No one is excited to see AI, and plenty of folks abhor it. When you use AI, you attract no one new & repulse more than you know. …

I cannot stress enough how good a rule "don't post stuff just to dunk on it" is. whether it's a big community or a friend discord. it is a declaration of "this isn't how I want to engage with people or with the world." things are bad enough out there.

I love how the narrator in "Whiskey in the Jar" admits he robs a dude he recognizes by sight, rolls up to his girlfriend's house armed and carrying a bag of cash, makes her promise she'll never lie to him, immediately passes out, and she's the asshole for unloading his guns and calling the cops.

Also for any medievalists out there, especially if you're currently teaching medieval history, I've got a question* for you. Every medievalist who I've listened to lecture or in an interview has enthusiastically recommended A Knight's Tale whenever people bring up the Middle Ages in pop culture/art

A big part of what makes a trad RPG good is giving the players fun toys to play with, and understanding that the GM is also a player who needs fun toys. Also, if you want the game to be fun for non-combat things, you need non-combat toys.
