Also spent tons of time on a "not sloppy" version but it looked like a circuit board. Sloppy is better then distracting. Gets covered in minis anyway. The most important thing is that it's easier to print at the right size. You can get it for free here: infantofatocha.itch.io/kudaku-worki...

Redrew the Kudaku map today. The new map has green hills at two sides to be a visual reminder for artillery can be places. The old map was worked fine, but the weird road/river layout was for an earlier version where those things mattered, which is why the roads all converged.

So the Kaiju game has a new small update: infantofatocha.itch.io/kudaku-worki... but more importantly it has Tabletop Simulator support on Steam: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/...

I don't think I can overstate how much the work of Sam Keith meant to me growing up. It was fundamental in my love of the stylized and avant-garde. As a kid I didn't understand art. I thought stuff that strayed from the house style of 80s spiderman was wrong or bad. His art unlocked something in me.

An Itch page for a one page joke TTRPG, because why the hell not. infantofatocha.itch.io/neither-dung...
Neither Dungeons Nor Dragons
A game about avoiding responsibility by gary D Pryor

Your company of heroes sit around the tavern table, food and drink, stories and songs. A messenger bursts in “A monster has carried away the royal heir!”


The room falls silent, all eyes fall on you.
Each of you is a hero, champion of the people, slayer of monsters, protector of the realm, BUT today you don’t feel like it…


Each of you must state your case as to why today you cannot leave the tavern.

Everything you say, no matter how ridiculous, is true and canonical.
After you make an excuse the player to your left adds a detail undermining your excuse. “But I…”
Bring in past knowledge, contradictory evidence, or logical fallacy, but no one may directly insult or accuse a comrade of lying.
In rebuttal the excuse giver must invent a way that both statements are somehow in fact true.
Afterwards ask the player to your left “well, why don’t you go?”
No player may attack the credibility of another player, but instead must retcon the existing evidence to make their excuse invalid.
You want one or more of your comrades to take care of this for you, but you still have to be polite.
You can only imply your comrades are lying.
You may only interrupt another player to point out that their story contradicted a previous story, at which point they must state “I was just getting to that” and make an excuse for the error.
If a contradiction slips by, the chance to call them on it has passed. The most recent statement is cannon.
If any player cannot invent a story to explain away a contradiction in their excuse they must leave the tavern to fulfill their civic duty and the game is over.

About 20 years ago I dropped acid at a friends house, and her boyfriend came and picked her up unexpectedly, and she just left me at her house with her dads record collection, and I thought "into the purple valley" sounded psychedelic so I put this on. I was transfixed by how much it clashed my mood and thoughts, and it held me captive for what felt like an eternity. Only much later did I discover that this record kind of kicks ass.

Will this piece of paper save their jobs? probably not, but I can see absolutely no reason to just roll over and be compliant. We should all be less compliant/complacent.

Mr. Sergio Gor
Director of Presidential Personnel
The White House
Dear Mr. Gor:
I am writing in response to your email sent to me and other Inspectors General earlier this
evening wherein you informed each of us that “due to changing priorities, your position as
Inspector General . . . is terminated, effective immediately.”
As Chairperson of the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency (CIGIE), I
recommend that you reach out to White House Counsel to discuss your intended course of
action. At this point, we do not believe the actions taken are legally sufficient to dismiss
Presidentially Appointed, Senate Confirmed Inspectors General.
Specifically, based upon the 2022 amendments to the Inspector General Act of 1978, the
President must notify Congress 30 days prior to removal of an IG and provide “substantive
rationale, including detailed and case-specific reasons” for such removal. 5 U.S.C. § 403(b), as
amended by the section 5202(a) of the Securing Inspector General Independence Act of 2022
(Title LII, Subtitle A, of P.L. 117-263, 136 Stat. 2395, 3222). The requirement to provide the
substantive rationale, including detailed and case specific reasons, was added to better enable
Congress to engage on and respond to a proposed removal of an Inspector General in order to
protect the independence of Inspectors General.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at Hannibal.Ware@sba.gov.
Sincerely,
Hannibal “Mike” Ware
CIGIE Chairperson
