This coming on the heels of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is very funny.

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

Repeating what I said in reply to another post: Excited to see this! I 5e Courts for the best campaign I've run, and have been considering using Daggerheart for a continuation. Would love to know what's been updated, and to see more Shadow Realm and fey stuff from y'all for Daggerheart.

Excited to see Courts for Daggerheart! I used the 5e version for the best campaign I've run, and have been considering using Daggerheart for a continuation. Would love to know what's been updated in the adventure, and would also love to see more Shadow Realm and Fey stuff from y'all for Daggerheart.

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 Enjoyed Michael McDowell's The Elementals a lot. His Blackwater series is also quite good.

The Lore is vague at best but I have thought too much about it. I have an Unofficial Medieval Times RPG concept in the back of my head that would be extremely silly.

Gavin @gavin-the-grey.itch.io · 25/07/2026
I believe Medieval Times is supposed to be set in Spain, so that would genuinely be much more historically accurate than the current menu.

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. …

That trilogy was great, but the slow realization that none of the Heroic Free Market stuff was meant to be read as satirical sure was an experience.

This was a good read! Blades provides a great framework, and it really starts to sing once you realize how much you can shift and bend that framework, but I wouldn't have gotten to that realization with just the book alone.

When in doubt: a consequence on a controlled roll is 1 tick on a bad clock or level 1 harm, risky is 2 clock ticks or level 2 harm, desperate is 3 clock ticks or level 3 harm. Likewise, limited success is 1 tick on a good clock, standard is 2 ticks, great is 3 ticks.

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
