Hi new followers!
I'm Chris Hopper, an accessibility consultant, graphic designer, game designer, and all around freelancer. You can find my most recent work in Draw Steel and the Cosmere RPG, along with many indie pubs. I'm passionate about lowering barriers for every game. linktr.ee/chrishopper
Cosmere Roleplaying Game ad for The First Step adventure book, showing a heavy-plated knight in a fiery fight at the bottom of a canyon. The blue-covered book featuring the same image is to the right Cover of MCDM's Draw Steel. A party of adventurers clashes with the winged figure of Ajax the invincible and the armies of demons under his command. Cover of Harrow: The Blighted Plane by Underground Oracle, featuring windsurfers on a sparkling sea. Cover of Escape the Dullahan, a Mork Borg Adventure, in two-color zine format, roughly markered and pasted into the typical Mork Borg feel

As I say here, there is no scientific justification to revoke the engagement finding. In fact, over the last 15+ yrs, the evidence of how climate change affects our health has only grown. Higher risk of allergies, dementia, fertility, heart disease, and death: that’s what’s on the line. @nature.org
There is No Scientific Justification to Revoke the Endangerment Finding
The U.S. EPA's decision to repeal the Endangerment Finding will limit the government's ability to regulate emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.

Re:letterpress for the people (how do we make it accessible + a tool fighting fascism? community printshops & general social justice action!), excited to share advanced copies of my Letterpress for All! free zine series with @penlandschool.bsky.social folks while I'm here. 120+ pages/4 zines on:

Letterpress for the people! Silly letterpress for the joyful people! 🌈

(Quick test print of daredevil ie not straight typesetting. Can use special furniture, sign foam, magnets; but using traditional spacing & getting all the tiny bits into place so nothing shifts under the press is fun & relaxing)
Photo of letterpress type inked in marbled teal and green, arranged on a metal printing press bed. The type is hard to read because it's horizontally reflected Photo of a quick test letterpress print on newsprint with teal and green ink. It says "Letterpress for the people! / Silly letterpress for the joyful people!" the second line uses various unevenly printed letters and different typefaces to look more fun

god I've only just started reading Blades '68 (www.backerkit.com/c/projects/e...) and the playbooks are SO flavourful and bold, I have always adored it when TTRPG characters have aggressive and fiction-forward moves (this is why I love realis also) and right out of the gate this is 100% That

Discworld QOTD, from Wyrd Sisters
Granny Weatherwax was often angry. She considered it one of her strong points. Genuine anger was one of the world's greatest creative forces. But you had to learn how to control it. That didn't mean you let it trickle away. It meant you dammed it, carefully, let it develop a working head, let it drown whole valleys of the mind and then, just when the whole structure was about to collapse, opened a tiny pipeline at the base and let the iron-hard stream of wrath power the turbines of revenge.

You get scared when confronted with words you don’t know? That’s embarrassing. I thought we were all learning different ways of communicating with one another and growing as people and celebrating the beauty of that. You can’t do that?

Something we’re not talking about enough is how absolutely pathetic it is to be bothered by somebody speaking a language that you don’t speak. I know many people have said this already but it’s still not enough imo

Anyone else watching the show about the doe-eyed ingenue who gradually becomes more desensitized to the harsh realities of the world and the misanthropic gunslinger on a personal quest whose tragic backstory functions as a skeleton key to understanding the series as a whole?

It's pretty good!

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

@Nick_Davidov Asked Claude Cowork organize my wife's desktop, it stated doing it, asked for a permission to delete temp office files, I granted it, and then it goes "ooops" Turns out it tried renaming and accidentally deleted a folder with all of the photos my wife made on her camera for the last 15 years. All photos of kids, their illustrations, friends' weddings, travel, everything. It's not in trash, it was done via terminal It's not in iCloud, it already synced the new file structure. She didn't have Time Machine. Disc recovery tools can't see anything. I called Apple and they pointed me to a feature in iCloud allowing to retrieve files that were saved before but are no longer on iCloud Drive (they keep them for 30 days). I'm now watching it load tens of thousands of files. I nearly had a heart attack.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.
