@bladesinparadise.bsky.social is the only actual play podcast where Ben and Jerry team up with a battalion of ghost cows (probably. I would be surprised if there's someone else doing this)
I kind of love Spotify’s new chapter feature, if only for how utterly insane the summary descriptions of @bladesinparadise.bsky.social episodes are.

How would your #TTRPG character fair in a Marvel Zombies style Zombie apocalypse?
💀 One bite and you turn

Great tips in this thread for creators looking to grow!
I'm here to say what a lot of #TTRPG performers trying to establish themselves in the space don't want to hear.

A thing that Bsky just added that Twitter had - you can select accounts you follow to show up in a notification feed when they post, which is super helpful for keeping on top of accounts you really want to be social with, or keep updated on

Looking for players who have passionate opinion is about gaming and tech issues, as well as (adamantly against) AI

At this point I feel like the "BIPOC prioritized" is put for them to feel good about themselves before choosing to cast their white friends over anyone BIPOC who applied
I'm actually very tired of applying to gigs that say "prioritizing BIPOC folx" and yall drop the cast, and there is a SINGULAR person of color. ONE (1)

It’s also… so pervasive. And there’s barriers no one tells you about. PoC face outsized consequences and thus less likely to get second chances or spaces if projects fail, new Actual Plays are being made every day using the top few as a template— most of which are white as a trillium… et al, et al.
