Why didn't these kinds of moves— Pick 3, pick 2, pick 1 Pick 2, pick 1, pick none Exceptional success, success, compromise — become "how PbtA works"? Like I say, I think it's obvious why, but choosing one move to be "how PbtA works" at all was the first mistake.

Seven Part Pact is coming to kickstarter July 2026 ! it's a massive ambitious TTRPG about magic, masculinity, and power. here's what brennan lee mulligan has to say about it
“If you’re a sucker for hoary tomes and dread grimoires, if your heart cries out for wicked homunculi and crafty familiars, if at the end of the day you’re out here just trying to ponder some goddamn orbs, then Jay has crafted the perfect game for you. Seven Part Pact is a vast, robust, visceral game about the powers and limitations of magic, the invisibility and essentiality of the work it takes to change/save/destroy the world, and an epic saga sung to the part of our soul that wishes to stroke our beard and sunder our staff upon the very mountainside. Take heed, o master of these most potent arts - the legend of your wizardry awaits within this very book!”
— Brennan Lee Mulligan, Dimension 20

not thrilled abt the pejorative misuse of "larp" as a term for "putting on a persona in a delusional/performative/fake way" when larp as a hobby is just playing games w friends and doesnt deserve this slander instead i propose we slander "ttrpg",

The drawing is rendered in red and yellow.Four people in Asian-inspired clothing, dressed as a betta fish, a goat, a mushroom, and a bee. Despite the goat's best effort to stop them, the mushroom trips and throws multiple cups of tea into the air, which the bee tries to catch. The fish stares at the scene, unthinkingly pouring tea onto the ground.

You can read the full text of the bill here: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for these slides and the alt text, which you can also share on their insta: www.instagram.com/authorsagain...
Slide 1: a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.
Slide 2: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. Misleadingly called the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States.
Slide 3: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If you are represented by one of the members of this committee listed below, they need to hear from you.
Rep. Kevin Kiley, California (CA-3) (Chair) - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Mary E. Miller, Illinois (Vice Chair)
Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Pennsylvania
Rep. Burgess Owens, Utah
Rep. Michael A. Rulli, Ohio
Rep. James C. Moylan, Guam - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Mark Harris, North Carolina
Rep. Mark B. Messmer, Indiana
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Oregon, Ranking Member
Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut
Rep. Summer L. Lee, Pennsylvania
Rep. John W. Mannion, New York
Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, Florida
Rep. Alma S. Adams, North Carolina
Rep. Adelita Grijalva, Arizona
Slide 4: a blue graphic with red and white text that reads: If you are represented by the congresspeople listed above: Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Hourly comics day!
Several sketchy hourly comics from 7am-9pm. I wake up at my boyf's place, eat a poorly sliced bagel, practice singing, work on my resume, have lunch, play Mythic Bastionland, and all of us hang out with my husb's family.More hourly comics from 9-11pm. I retire to my boyf's apartment, walk back to my own, and finish drawing hourlies. The end.

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1".

i'm just gonna give a shoutout to Dirty Secrets by Seth Ben-Ezra, which i think is a lesser-known GM-less TTRPG. It's a mystery game that heavily inspired my own game, After the Mind, the World Again, and uses liar's dice as an adjudication mechanic. I haven't played it because I suck at gambling.

Find someone in your vicinity who you think is cute but ultimately know nothing about. Roll a d6. On a 1-5, imagine their inner life based on their vibes, and what kind of dynamic you might share if you talked to them. On a 6, reroll.

"LET HIM SPEAK!" 9" x 12" ink and watercolor on watercolor paper.
Somewhere, in the Deep reaches of space, an assembly has gathered on a space station. During a heated discussion on the design and capabilities of mecha, Isamu Kurogane (Lance) stands tall and dares to speak the truth. "Every Gundam is worse than Voltron because his hands are lion mouths!!!" he declares without shame. His bravado has impressed the Red Comet, Char Aznable, while confusing and insulting Amuro Ray. The delaration is heard to mixed reactions by many other mecha pilots (not by Shinji Ikari, he is doing his best to ignore him).

Blind Date with a Human #comic #만화 #art
Sketchy black and white comic. "Blind Date with a Human"
Human and vampire at sitting at a small table, both with wine glasses. Vampire is drinking something red while the human is drinking white wine.
Black-haired vampire asks his date: "So- you're a professor?"
Flustered 35-40 year old human man responds: "Uh... yes...:
Vampire is looking at the human's throat quite intently. He asks: "What do you teach?"
Professor responds with: "Botany..." then says: "Um... excuse me..."Second page of comic.
Vampire asks: "Hmm?"
Human says, with hand scratching back of head: "You're staring so intently... Sorry... I got here right after work so I couldn't "freshen up"- I look-"
Vampire cuts him off with: "Your neck is perfect."
Human is so dumbfounded: "...?"
Vampire swishes his glass of wine and muses: "Good texture- not too thick."
Human has his hands to his neck, now completely blushing as he listens to his date while trying to interject with: "um- wait I-"
Vampire goes on: "You see- sucking from there makes it feel as though I've just ripped out the jugular. Really muscular ones are a bit too tough on my teeth you see... Are you O-positive by any chance~? That's the best tasting one! <3"
There are sparkles around the vampire as he speaks.

Holt looks timid and hesitant while Clayton holds Holt's waist and head more confidently. The chorus from "Like Real People Do" by Hozier is written around them.The same pic but they're shirtless.

A crop of a typewritten page. Text reads:

BURN AND AGAIN

MATERIALS:
- Yourself
- Someone who's supposed to love you
- An issue they won't let go
- A pot of water
- A stovetop

SAFETY TOOLS:
You should not do anything that would cause harm to yourself or others.

But we're not always our best selves, are we?
