Two and a half weeks to design and pull together all the costumes for a Fantasy-Medieval vertical drama followed by an intense 10 day shoot in 3 different historical locations? No problem ✌🏽*

*Actually this whole thing feels like a fever dream and I’m still not sure how I managed to get this done

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

What if I told you that you could run a D&D game tonight with only a few minutes of prep? What if I told you that you could do that 36 days in a row?

From a team of 25 accomplished authors. 36 five-room "dungeons" (very few literal dungeons).

“banning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned
You don’t have to like, approve of, or engage with porn and nsfw work to see how right wing extremists are using fear and stigma around smut to ban queer people from public life, define “good” sex as only between married people for procreation, and otherwise further force white supremacy on everyone

Many non-disabled reporters do not find it important to talk to actually disabled/chronically ill people, just those around them. There's a clear difference often in stories written about disability by disabled people versus non-disabled people.
Now more than ever we need disabled reporters to cover these topics. Publications NEED to be bringing on disabled writers to cover the ever-shifting landscape

Hello to all the new folks following me from the Nemesis sword video! (which did way better than I ever expected 😂)

I’ve also made some other Hades stuff before, like my Ares cosplay and the Stygian blade ✨

Beadle & Grimm's paid me .25/word in 2023. Haunted Table paid me $.25/w plus royalties in 2023. MCDM pays me .35/word plus $50/hr in 2025. Several other companies that I can't yet name, have paid me .25/w.

If you want to pay a competitive rate for ttrpg design in 2025, you start at .25/word.

My mom called me sobbing tonight. At first I thought they'd found metastatic on her cancer scan.

She was terrified I was going to get bombed. She said "if we're all gone tomorrow I need you to know I love you."

Our country is sick. Our leaders are the cancer. This never should have come this far.

Some real(?) talk about providing VTT support as a publisher. (Real talk... virtual tabletop... there's a joke in there somewhere. I'm not finding it. Onward.)

I'm the guy who makes the Roll20 character sheets at Evil Hat. Because I'm a company founder, I don't need to charge the company for it.

Luddites weren't anti-tech.

They were against technology being used by the capitalist class to capture wealth at the expense of the worker.

I am a Luddite, and a tech enthusiast. They're not in opposition. I want technology that makes MY life better, not that sells my life piecemeal to corps.
I hate crypto, I hate online gambling, I hate AI, I hate pay-later, I hate subscription models, I hate the gig economy, I hate ring cameras, I hate drones, I hate self checkout.

I don't want to come off as a luddite but capitalism's hold on tech sucks.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?
