I leave #PAXU close to tears Good tears A little over a month ago, this was nothing more than a concept. In that time we pulled so much together to curate a space for all! The people that we worked with - @stellaluna.tv, Philly LARP society, our Guildmasters, Hosts and guests gave it EVERYTHING…

Yes 100%. A public statement that UKGE does not support genAI, clear labelling of tables, and a requirement to declare genAI usage when booking a stand/promo. An asterix on the programme would be good too. This is so short-sighted of them.

Incredibly disappointing from UKGE and I really hope they think about how many artists, writers, designers, and creators are against the use of AI in the industry, and WHY. Promoting games and products that use it is pretty poor, but deleting the comments of those pointing it out is insulting.

Fancy some games at your fantasy event, to launch your Kickstarter or even for your wedding guests? Book our talented, inclusive & experienced professional game masters to come along and run something special! #ttrpg #dnd #gamemaster
A game master sat behind a wooden game master screen looking down at their notes. They hold a pencil in their hand and are wearing blue d&d dice earrings. On the game master screen, an initiative order on white cards and the logo of Moonshine Adventure Company is carved in the wood. In a purple text box reads “hire our GMs”.

For every £1 you've spent on a certain wizarding franchise in your childhood, you must now eat a tub of ice cream, take a lovely bath or buy some nice dungarees.

Campaign 4 sounds really exciting and I'm sure everyone will knock it out of the park, but.. D&D instead of Daggerheart? Tad disappointing.

I've been thinking a lot about Legends and Lattes by @travisbaldree.bsky.social recently - about the magic of the right people finding each other at the right moment (I won't spoil it). Gee, Ed, Khalil and the rest of the GM team are definitely part of that story for us, and I feel very grateful.

rounding off the (robust) safety tools section in Hollows with a practical coda
TREATING EACH OTHER WITH RESPECT: THE PRECURSOR TO SAFETY TOOLS
If you find the idea of safe words and specific tools at the gaming table embarrassing or awkward, why not try these phrases that serve the same purpose but with slightly more social flexibility? You’ve probably been using them for years already. If they don’t work for you, you can use the tools as described.


RED
“Hell no.”
“I’m not feeling it. Can we change it?”
“Nah, I don’t want to tell that sort of story.”
“I get grossed out by that sort of thing, let’s do something else.”
“Hard no from me on that one, chief.”

YELLOW
“Okay, but be classy about it.”
“Skip to the end, yeah?”
“I don’t like this bit. I’m going to get a drink; gimme a shout when it’s done.”
“Ew, don’t go into detail, I’m not into it.”
*look of disgust, head shake*

GREEN
“Hell yes.”
“Yes, brilliant. 100%.”
“This is fucking great.”
“Ohh, what does it look like? Tell us more about it.”
*enthusiastic thumbs up, beaming grin*

Miller would be great for a bit of inter-peasantry strife. A more general vagabond (like a returning soldier or an escaped villein trying to hide in the town for their year) maybe? Also a distinction between villeins and freemen in the farmers maybe? Pilgrim?

Not often when my old civil service self and my weird little rpg business self align quite so clearly. As well as being evil, this transphobes' code is completely impractical. It's incompatible with both human rights law and GDPR. We can't physically enforce it (and we wouldn't if we could).

Also, while I'm ranting, teach section 28 in school history please. And remember, it took the last Labour gov 6 years to repeal it. They've always been happy to throw LGBTQ+ folk under the bus

So glad I quit teaching so I don't have to quit teaching again (or get sacked). Teachers were nervous talking about trans issues with the last set of guidance - only the best of them will be helping trans kids now. It is absolutely section 28.

Serving Up Disaster takes a twist on the Brindlewood Bay engine by @jasoncordova.bsky.social So to match the theme, the "Crowns" have been changed to "Toques"👨‍🍳 These represent the private monologues to camera, showing the character's inner thoughts and feelings www.kickstarter.com/projects/mol...
screenshot of "The Toques" page of Serving Up Disaster. The page is laid out like a food stained diner menu in blue, white and orange. The text reads:
"During Play. The Toques. 
When you make a roll, you may choose to put on a Toque. First narrate a short, private monologue to “camera”, showing the character's inner thoughts and feelings, and then make the roll with Advantage.

The Toque of Denial shows the character's resistance to moving forwards, and the deep fear that changing something will only make their situation worse. 

The Toque of Change shows the character’s realisation that they cannot continue in their ways, or else the whole place will fail. 

Toque of Denial
When you put on the Toque of Denial, tick one of the following and gain a either Condition or a Problem: 

Describe why you actually don't need Chef's help
Name something in the restaurant you're proud of and will resist changing
Explain what experience you have and why it means you’re better than Chef 
Toque of Change
When you put on the Toque of Change, tick the next unticked box, and also gain its specific benefit. 
Admit something you've been doing was wrong  
(Clear a Condition)
Explain why it's important that you change and move forwards as a person 
(+1 to a Skill of your choosing)
Admit a deeper reason for your inadequacies
(Chef teaches you a new Move; see Learning From The Master)"

The world isn't silent on Gaza - this is by far the most vocal I have seen the general public on a political issue in my lifetime. I have also never seen a bigger difference between the anger of the public and the inaction of specific institutions and governments. That's the crucial disconnect.
