Study: ~350 students were surveyed on why they game and how they feel after: 64% use gaming to cope with stress. Playing for story, social connection, or escapism predicted more positive feelings. Playing for autonomy/exploration cut negative emotions the most. doi.org/10.3389/fcom...

Hey, I'm on three panels next weekend at the sci-fi and fantasy convention Archon (archonstl.org)! I'll be talking about the future of TTRPGs, imposter syndrome among writers and other artists, and about Project Hail Mary. Gonna bring psychology angles to all those. Come see me if you're there!

Systematic review of 14 studies (2013-2025): trans and gender-diverse players who customize game avatars to match their identity report less gender dysphoria and more gender euphoria, especially when other players affirm it in-game. doi.org/10.1080/2689...

Sometimes writing is like having an enormous lake in your head, and you want to get it out of your head and into a proper place for a lake so other people can cone and go swimming and ride jetskis and stuff, except all you have to move the lake is a teaspoon. So you're just sitting there frantically flinging water out of the lake with your teaspoon and telling people "Guys, this lake is going ro be so cool when its done" but it will never be done. There is so much lake

Righte now the greatest danger to the future of universityes ys universityes. Remembir the missioun, remembir the studentes, remembir those who have come bifor and will arryve aftir, remembir teachinge and learninge and dialogue. A universitye ys much more than a corporation wearinge a mortarboard.

It was a different era: in the 1990s, TSR (the company that owned D&D before Wizards of the Coast) owned the Gen Con convention, and the TSR "booth" was at the center back of the exhibitor area, and it was a CASTLE. (Photo by Terry O'Brien.)

high overhead angle photo of the TSR castle at Gen Con, about 60 feet wide, 40 feet deep, and 20 feet high, with areas inside to demo games and buy stuff.

We had our first proper session today and Vesko already messed up a spell and is starting his slow transformation into a weird little mutant freak and I couldn’t be happier. It’ll be almost a month before we can play again so I’ll just have to find the time to draw him again lol
