It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

More than 3,300 years ago, an unknown Egyptian wrote a love poem: clear, pure, mysterious. This translation by Egyptologist John Foster brings it to life in a way that leaves me breathless.

If you'll allow me a Friday Shop Plug, I've got a new lino print in my Summerisle Procession series, and copies of my spooky book defaced with Krampus heads and the like. Reposts extremely welcome (Christmas is coming, lads)...

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

(It’s been about 8 times and I might be due for a rewatch.)

not dire, but i'm raising some money to cover expenses this month (plus i love doing these) so: trueform portraits! $200 gets you an ophan, seraph, or weird mech according to your aesthetics (+$50 will get you a little human portrait to go along with it!) no design too complex! sasha@teacabbage.com

"I don't know" is one of the most powerful intellectual positions imaginable.

Where you plant your "I don't know" flag signals your research question, methodology, and even what *counts* as evidence.

Current commercial manifestations of GenAI make it so you cannot even see the spot on the ground.
My biggest GenAI-related intellectual fear is about the future of “I don’t know”
Giving medical advice, sometimes ChatGPT is right, and sometimes it is quite wrong, but it is hard to tell the difference:

"Rather, Wachter identified something more frightening: ChatGPT’s dangerous answers don’t sound risky to a non-doctor. The chatbot always sounds confident and authoritative."

Today on Dice Exploder I talk with @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social about Apocalypse World 3e. We took the 2e Brainer playbook and broke down every change as it became the 3e Brain-Picker.

It's fascinating to me how AW from the jump has been designed around the Baker's kids.

Been a while since I did a charity stream on Twitch, but I'm feeling the urge again. Tomorrow (Sunday) 11 am to 2 pm Eastern I'll be playing "The Long Dark" -- an old game but a new fave, to benefit NY Common Pantry. Join me for giveaways and (probably) horrible death! tilt.fyi/YVoFdn7Efo

That's assuming we make tomorrow. She's got all my spidy senses going that she might lie down tonight in her bed and ease on out.

So I'm asking for help getting my dog to what may be her last vet visit tomorrow. It's gonna cost me at least $100.

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

More people have died in ICE custody in last 9 months than in the entire prior 4 years.

We hear of a few, but most barely make the news.

Cases like Randall Alberto Gamboa Esquivel.

He was in perfect health when ICE detained him.

He disappeared in June & by August was in a vegetative state.
