“When the Wind Blows” cracks neck. Rolls shoulders. Raises both fists. Also, did the Russo brothers somehow forget they previously made a movie in which half the people in the universe died? Oh, wait — all that did was make a few people go to group therapy for a while. I guess it was all fine.

Avengers: Doomsday reportedly has at least 6 major deaths.

It's described as one of the darkest movies ever made.

Chris Cocks is a tool, but this headline (not linking the article, and neither should you) is bullshit. Polygon took the innocuous statement that until WotC has a new CEO, senior management might need to run things past the Hasbro CEO and made it sound like there’s been fucking coup.

A screenshot headline from Polygon reading: “Hasbro’s CEO just took direct control of Magic and D&D”

A new #CORE20RPG design diary! Primordial magic is an arcane tradition older than spellcasting, first shaped by the kobolds, inspired by the 3e warlock, and perfect for any character who prefers a more personal approach to blowing things up with magic. core20rpg.blogspot.com/2026/08/ye-o...

A kobold invokes primordial magic to manifest a flame flow spell as a phoenix ready to attack.

People are always asking “Who is Szass Tam?” But no one ever thinks to ask “How is Szass Tam?”

Who is Szass Tam, and Why Must He Be Stopped?

I’ll see your pickles and raise you jam! So, so much jam…

Please have all my calls redirected to the front porch.

Part of a laptop screen and an iPad being used as a second monitor are seen sitting on a table. The laptop screen shows a bit of a CORE20 adventure currently being worked on. The iPad is showing rules reference. Beyond the table, a wall of grape vines rises to a refreshingly blue sky marked by a single white cloud.

Describe your Bluesky account with a single image.

A scene from “Star Trek.” Mr. Spock (a serious Vulcan man with pointed ears) has his hand against the face of Dr. McCoy (a human man temporarily stunned with his eyes open wide), performing the Vulcan mind meld.

Just spent all morning sanding down our butcher-block kitchen island, and my laptop refusing to unlock using Touch ID tells me my fingerprints have been worn down to nothing.

A sketchy-looking character from “The Simpsons” says: “All right. Time for a crime spree."

Best “Star Trek” captain. Wrong answers only.

The #CORE20RPG is a new approach to d20 fantasy, built on a foundation of freeform characters with no classes and no levels. It turns the aging “pass/fail” core d20 mechanic into fuel for shared storytelling — and you can play for free right now! core20rpg.blogspot.com/p/the-core20... 1/

The covers of the CORE20 playtest PDFs, with art with Xavier Beaudlet. The “Playtest Player’s Guide” features an adventurer and their white tiger companion looking out at a haunted tower. The “Playtest Magic Grimoire” features an adventurer stepping into a glowing portal in a dark forest. The “Playtest GM Guidelines” features a shadowy archway opening up into a jungle ruin. And the “Playtest Creature Package” features a red dragon awaiting an adventurer standing in the entrance to their cavern lair.

Happy solstice midday cookout to all those who celebrate.

A firepit sitting on a bed of gravel in a relatively green backyard, flanked by a low stone-style-block wall. Two campfire sticks stand nearby, still sticky with melted marshmallow.

What — and I cannot stress this enough — the actual fuck?
