We live in a miserable country ruled by monsters. Therefore we must be the ones that make good. Mourn but do not despair. Despair is how they win. We will outlast them, that much is certain. So make sure as many of us outlast them as possible.

Had to scrap the 6K critique I had written for this week, so why don't we have some fun? Let's eat and fuck our way out of the underworld with Autumnal Conductor, a lesbian Persephone sans Hades retelling. You may leave with new headmates. splitparty.beehiiv.com/p/autumnal-c...

What's the actual benefit of working for Hasbro. They underpay you, exploit your creativity, and then have the audacity to block you from making money anywhere else.

I don't even believe this is legally enforceable. The closest I've seen in my industry is the company owns things you create *with company tools and/or property* which is at least understandable. Disallowing your own independent media that's not WotC products is fucking absurd.

That's interesting, as a player I've never felt like I need to squeak out one more level up. 1.5 levels per session is a lot.

there really is no use case other than bypassing the need to interact with another person or expend any brainpower interpreting information written by another person. Yeah it's wrong and inaccurate and stupid but I got an answer that's 100% computer generated.

Why not have a glorious end to #SapphicSeptember with a double feature of undead and godly lesbianism? Follow Proserpina in her doomed quest to leave the Underworld and attempt to conquer it. Follow Hekate as she weaves a spell of vengeance and regeneration across the aftermath.

I think the problem with a lot of players who move from D20 to PbtA is they read success with a complication as "success with a failure"

They have very little to do with actual historiography or modern religion because it assumes a dogmatic essentialism that isn't true for any belief system - the idea that all abrahamic followers are at their core conquerors and looking to exterminate other belief systems.

Radmad is Unplugging his PAX @radmad.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
There is a pernicious strain of supersessionism that's not quite a lie but not really the truth that abrahamic religions developed out of nomadic tribes and therefore are rooted in raiding and brutality - basically norse but evil

A lot of people consider allowing media to facilitate the emotions it tells you it wants to make you feel "losing" to the art.

The split between player/GM and GM'd/GMless hurts our understanding of player roles in ttrpgs, and our design. They are false binaries that we sort games into based on what "feels right," without actually being very useful terms for understanding dynamics in play beyond a base level.

a rulebook should never give players 'permission' to change or break the rules -- the 'permission' is inherent in the fact that it's an inanimate object that can't do anything to stop you. it's at once condescending to the players and denigrating to your own design work
