Got word the hardcover print proofs are in the mail! Can't wait!

Read A CHANGELING SEA by Patricia A. McKillip. What a work of art. I felt taken by the hand and led gently into a dream where I spent time in another life. Realistic fairy tale fantasy with an imaginary quality like you got in Secret of Kells. Cover by Michael Whelan is absolutely perfect.

So where and when? Who is in charge here? @sanders.senate.gov? @aoc.bsky.social ? I'm ready. Shit has gone way over the top. Point us in the right direction. I'm not asking for violence. We pretty much DESTROYED Tesla in a couple weeks. What's the next target? We need some freaking marching orders.

A quick reminder to anyone who needs to hear it in these messed up times: Hasbro has a YouTube Channel that plays GI Joe episodes 24/7. Yo Joe!

Adding a new level of realism to my game tonight when I introduce the Hand Crossbow Dice Launcher. Every "roll" to attack the characters will be aimed directly at a player, creating a fully immersive gaming experience!

Looking for information about how newspaper 3-4 panel serial comic strips (Conan, Spider-Man, Star Wars) were created. What rules did they follow? What were the best practices? I have to think there are some Dos and Don'ts that arose over the years. Anyone know of any sources for this info?

Fief and Town by Lisa J. Steele are two of my all-time favorite reference books. They are about medieval Europe in the 13th and 14th Centuries, a period that more or less matches the feel of your typical fantasy roleplaying game. You can get them from @drivethrurpg.com ! substack.com/home/post/p-...

During out latest outing to the Detroit Institute of Arts we came across a statue we are relatively certain is "Woman Shoplifting Duck from Market"

Detroit Institute of Arts painting vibe check: Kid: "Can I take the baby out of its crib? Can I?" Mother: "OMG, will you PLEASE give me like TWO minutes to read my book."

A painting that is clearly saying "Pease just let me read my book."

So - keeping secrets in game worlds and stories. Seems like you can hurt yourself by keeping too many secrets, but too much info is, well, too much. So what's the right amount reveal? That's what I'm trying to work out (and would love your opinions!) substack.com/home/post/p-...
