I know wrestlers have shortened life spans. I've read the books. But, as a relatively new fan (2010s) and total AEW mark this is only the second time one of 'my' guys passed. During the covid era he cut one of the greatest promos that represented all of us. 'Our bastard' will be deeply missed.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

I did say I'd drop it this week, so here is my fantasy agnostic TTRPG microsetting, Ansticewood! It's 16 pages on 8 spreads, all human-made. I'm still sorta figuring out Affinity, but I like the way it came out. Inspired by old fairytales & folktales, it features an Evil Queen & persecuted faefolk.

So many #TTRPG designers and devs asking social media how they should price their games. Stop. Thats not how it works, and watching old white dudes tell people games should only cost $3 is depressing.

I've had to unfriend a few fans lately, all for the same reason. They made ridiculing, unkind, and in some cases outright cruel comments about pictures I posted of young women cosplaying Jessica.
More than a person, Jessica is a state of mind. To play Jessica, you need self -confidence, a sense of humor, and a Jessican -attitude-. There is no such thing as a Jessica cosplayer being too short, too flat chested, too heavy, too thin, too unattractive, too black, too Asian, or even too male!!! All Jessica, any Jessica, every Jessica is good Jessica.
I'm not giving any warnings or second chances. A single disparaging comment on a Jessica cosplayer, and I'm throwing you out of the rainbow colored Toontown Tent.

It has come to my attention that playtesting is where I do I my best work. Do others find this true while designing a game? Legends of the Khurst Riders is now becoming an accelerated ruleset to play a 'one-shot' game. If folks enjoy it [buy it!], I'll release the full ruleset.
