#TTRPG actual play creators, actors, producers, etc: What advice would you give to a new channel joining the space? Anything you wish you knew when you started or any general tips you can offer?
I'll be launching a new channel next year and would love to learn from you all!

It's so difficult keeping up with all the social media apps, I totally forgot to make the exciting announcement here that I started my new role at Card Kingdom last week!
My career journey has taken me through videogames, TTRPGs, and now Magic: The Gathering! What an amazing wild ride it's been.

I'm so glad we have an honorary president of Dropout for when the class war starts and we need to replace Sam Reich

Just ran the first session of Rapscallion from @magpiegames.bsky.social! I really love the meta-currencies the game offers. It's a bit crunchier than other PBTA games, but offers a lot of depth for players to interact with. A solid #ttrpg I'm excited to explore more!

Every year the TTRPG scene just has to blow up a bit I guess.
Wishing the best to those affected, it's a horrible situation to be in.

#ttrpg friends! I'm planning on heading to PAXU again this year, last year was a blast.
I'm currently interested in being part of any panels, if anyone is looking for extra folks. I've got experience in both videogame and TTRPG marketing, I've run convention games, and I have been on actual plays.

Saw #fantasticfour last night and it was great! The world building and art direction was top notch. The cast had great chemistry. The characters were written well, especially Johnny and Reed, having more nuance rather than the 'douchebag womanizer' and 'smart guy' cliches we've seen before.

Yesterday was my birthday!
I wasn't really excited for it and procrastinated on deciding to celebrate it. But @shaucatcosplay.bsky.social has scheduled surprise hangouts and events all month long. It's been a great time because of the work she put in to make it special.

If you’re an artist of color, you need to keep making art. Especially if you’re also trans. Our world needs your voice.
In the face of increasingly hostile and murderous systems, this is what we can do. This is what we have to do.

Superman was great. A little over-packed at times but the vibrancy of the world is a stark contrast to the old DCEU and feels like a comic book come to life.
This movie has a good mix of James Gunn's weirdness, solid character writing, and commentary on modern events.

I'm convinced that Daggerheart is what @dimension20.bsky.social will be using for an upcoming season. It is a great system for the vibes of D&D but with a greater emphasis on storytelling, narrative freedom, and improvisation.

I've got so many thoughts on this, it's hard to put it into words. This is horrible. Companies buying up all these studios and then ruining employees livelihoods by laying them off is awful.
Meanwhile, the people at the top continue to make too much money to care.

We could have had universal healthcare, free college, and housing for all, but instead, they're using MY tax dollars on a fucking concentration camp.
Where we are as a country:
"The funding in the bill will make ICE the largest jailer in the world, with $200 billion at their disposal."

A quick Art tip: don’t underestimate the power of redrawing the whole thing again. If a drawing doesn’t feel right then start over.
