one takeaway i had from working in digital media in the 2010s was that it's pretty bad for your brain and your understanding of your career/the world when your industry becomes the main subject of twitter and twitter becomes the main context for your industry. also bad for the industry overall

Did you know, for the Children of Time RPG we designed a GM screen that transforms between reference materials for the ark ship and the alien planet side of play? Why? Because I am incapable of making a normal-ass GM screen and @mazistyping.bsky.social keeps enabling my sicko shit.

If the purpose of a system is what it does, then the purpose of the current Labour government is to punish trans kids for being trans. And in the process make it impossible for cis kids to have nicknames or be tomboys, apparently. Cool and normal!

The question for Nigel Farage now is whether it's less embarrassing to un-resign and claim that was an establishment stitchup, or to spend a month competing with a bin. Neither is exactly a *great* option. Neither solves his ongoing scandals. And it's a mess entirely of his own making.

In accordance with ancient tradition, our next Prime Minister is announced to the nation while standing between a furry and a man with a bin on his head.
A victorious Andy Burnham MP (24,937 votes), as the result of the Makerfield by-election is announced, flanked by defeated candidates Count Binface (a bloke in a vaguely sci-fi costume with a large bin for a helmet; 95 votes) and Robert Pownall (who is in a full body fox costume, holding a sign reading "Protect British Wildlife"; 18 votes). There are some other candidates there just out of shot but that's not important right now.

Starmer here is characterising Labour’s problem as a communication issue not a policy one. No amount of saying “let me be absolutely clear on this” and “setting out a path in the coming days” is going to help. You need to actually make things better. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
“They are the majority, no matter which party they vote for. And Labour should not turn its back on any of them. On the contrary, our job is to convince them that we have progressive answers to the problems and challenges that they face.

At the general election, we earned the mandate to deliver change, but we have not sustained the public’s trust that we are doing enough. And we have made unnecessary mistakes. While it was important to level with people about the legacy we inherited and the scale of the challenges this country faces, we did not do enough to convince them that their lives can improve, that their future can get better – to give them hope.”

let's see how many of these blurbs for DIE RPG Backerkit will let through their quality control net
MID CAMPAIGN ADDITIONS - WHAT IF WE JUST DESCRIBE DIE

DIE: it’s like Jumanji for nerds. It’s Gygaxian Isekai. It’s Portal Fantasy with HP. Get in here.

Sure, you can roll Reflex to take half damage from a fireball. Try doing that to the emotional splash-damage of your parents’ divorce

Life never worked out the way you wanted it to. Now you’re trapped in a fantasy kingdom, and life still isn’t working out, but at least you’re a catgirl now

Is It Wrong To Try To Process My Emotional Trauma In A Dungeon? (Yes. You should have gone to therapy. But now you’re trapped in a magical kingdom, it’s the only option you’ve got)

Boyfriend Dungeon taught us we could love the dungeon. Dungeon Meshi taught us we could eat it. Now: what if the dungeon was a thinly-veiled metaphor for your strained relationship with your dad?

You’re thirty-seven years old. Your job sucks. Your wife just left you. And you’re trapped in an interdimensional fantasy realm forged of your own dreams and fears, which really is the icing on the cake

Maybe things weren’t better back in the day; maybe you were just younger. DIE takes the gentle, reassuring confection of nostalgia and reduces it to a bubbling heap with the oxy-acetalene torch of postmodernism 

THOSE JACKALS AT WIZARDS OF THE COAST ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH OF YOUR MONEY. Give US your money instead in exchange for the DIE Metadungeon

If you only play one TTRPG this year, you should probably try Realis. It looks great. But if you play two TTRPGs this year, one of them should definitely be DIE

DIE the RPG finally endorses your relentless obsession with dice by making them diegetic. And if you need us to explain what “diegetic” means, you probably wouldn’t enjoy the game anyway

How many dice do you reckon you could fit in your mouth? Normal-sized ones, I mean. Six-siders. I think I could get about twenty five in there before I started choking
