The Dungeon Masters WoW series is totally vindicating our idea that WoW dungeons like Dire Maul are a perfect backdrop for fun character stories 😈 I know that if my Azeroth campaign goes there they'll find Lo'gosh fighting in the Maul (iykyk)

I am too busy playing in @jamesjhaeck.bsky.social's WoW D&D game to watch this one, but this occasion has me thinking about this: • In 2005, I used the 3e-based WoW RPG to run Blackfathom Deeps at a local private con.

Running Classic WoW to research every nook and cranny of its dungeons for D&D: WoW, then translating them to D&D was my favorite part of this book's initial design. Excited by how happy people have been so far with the first previews :D

I'm running two D&D games with my Dungeons & Dragons: World of Warcraft cocreators right now, and both groups have just gone into the past. They're both playing the same scenario: defeat Onyxia before the Infinite Dragonflight gives her the power to conquer all and create a new timeline.

"Wizards gain their magic powers through study, you can only be a sorcerer if you have magic powers because your mom fucked a dragon" no, that's specifically from "Dungeons & Dragons", and it isn't even true of all versions of "Dungeons & Dragons".

I've just started reading "Composition of Outdoor Painting" by Edgar Payne (written in 1941), and this line from the preface feels particularly relevant to me right now. "The goal in painting should never be the picture but the means which produce it."

A photograph of page viii of Edgar Payne's Composition of Outdoor Painting. A passage is highlighted that reads "The goal in painting should never be the picture but the means which produce it."

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

Game design isn’t about being able to identify problems. Everyone who plays games can identify problems. Game design is about diagnosing player experience, having intent, and executing. I think to a lot of folks outside dev, game criticism (an art in itself) is seen as interchangeable with design.

i think ppl would be a lot happier and better-adjusted on here if they realized that being online on a website is like being in any other casual public space full of people. if u walk into walmart u dont immediately think to yourself “i have to be friends with everyone in this walmart and if not everyone likes me i’m a failure” and u really shouldn’t feel that way online either. likewise if there’s a guy in the walmart parking lot shouting obscenities u probably wouldn’t answer him and that’s literally an exact equivalent to some of the weird stuff that people on here seem to feel they’re obligated to respond to.

Charles Schulz drew a new Peanuts comic every single day for almost 50 years. That is 17,897 individual comic strips. I'm sure, somewhere in that vast archive, you can find an ACTUAL DRAWING that fits whatever you want to say and easily edit in your own speech bubbles instead of using "AI" slop.

An image of Charlie Brown and Linus from the Peanuts comic strip in color leaning on a brick wall. Linus is looking at Charlie Brown, who is looking slightly aside of the "camera" Charlie says:

It's not very leftist of folks to use fascist corporate "AI" to make memes of me regardless what they say
