PAXU, day 1! Join me @11 am in the AFGL room 125, for some dishy, scandalous drama in Pasión de las Pasiones. And help us test the PbtAids, a tile drawing tool for folks with dyscalculia. Low math game with a low math implement!
A table set up to play Pasión de las Pasiones. From left to right: The rule book for Pasión, showing a ridiculously handsome man and beautiful woman embracing on the cover. At the top is a red dice bag from Die Hard Dice, with a DOTS RPG Project tag indicating it contains tools from the AFGL lending library. Center is an assortment of 6 plastic tiles, marked with silver numbers on one side and a miss, hit or full hit word and symbol on the other. Drawing a tile replaces a die roll in the game, so players don't need to add dice together. Bottom are three cards from the Supporting Cast deck, detailing pre generated NPCs. And finally, on the right is the rest of the NPC deck.

On Fri 11/21, 3:30pm-4:30 pm, and again from 5pm-6pm, I’ll be running demo games of Zombie World. Written by Brendan Conway and published by @magpiegames.bsky.social. There will be large print references, cards rather than dice. Can you survive the throngs of undead inside the Shopping Maul?
Photo of the game box for Zombie World, as well as two expansion set decks. All three products have a red, black and white motif, with sketchy black line art, to emphasize the horror tone. The expansion decks shown are called The Farm, and The Mall, offering new enclave options to play in.

On Fri 11/21, 11am-3pm, I’ll be running Pasión de las Pasiones. Written by @blg.bsky.social, and published by @magpiegames.bsky.social. We’ll also be testing an accessibility tool for folks with dyscalculia. If you want to save La Rosa Querida from ruin, sign up in PAXNav or at the AFGL room 125.

Are YOU going to PAX U? Do YOU have an access need that isn’t typically met? I want YOU to find us in the Access Forward Gaming Lounge. We’ll be in room 125, near North Broad Street. The AFGL has accommodations like large print sheets, braille dice, low math games, and more to help you play.

WotC, back on their bullshit.

For what it's worth, I fully expected MtG influencers to be toxically positive about this set, and held my nose as I watched their videos. It was refreshing and gave me HOPE that they were critical of it. Well deserved.
Classic meme-form of Principal Skinner from The Simpsons, momentarily doubting himself and then refusing to take responsibility for his own mistake. Above the image it says "WotC's response to the Spider-Man Magic set Failing." The top image of the meme is captioned "Have we made a bad product?" The bottom image of the meme is captioned "No. It is the MtG Influencers who are to blame."

Good morning GenCon! Today we have an offering EPIC proportions! Come play the Root TTRPG with us at the Eagle's Nest in the Hyatt Regency, starting at 7 pm. Many tables, with dozens of players, will vie for control over the Woodland, in a multi GM shared adventure. Who will take the throne?
Logo for the Root boardgame that reads "Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right." Four anthropomorphic animals, illustrated by Kyle Ferrin, stand before the logo, armed with various medieval wrapons: a blue jay, a siamese cat, a racoon and a red fox.

GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT!
Twitter post of Serj Tankian, of System of a Down fame, proudly announcing the selling out to AI generated, stolen slop for a music video. You know, as a treat. "Happy holidays to you all. As a special treat this year, I wanted to share this alternate music video for "Cartoon Buyer" from the Foundations EP. It's completely created in AI by John Marr and @ spectavo - We told him to let his imagination run wild and he went for it..." Still black & white image from the music video. A stone path leading to a shed and a shack, in an overgrown field.

The original photo. No filter.
Photo of myself, smiling and wearing a grey T-shirt, holding a carton of Edy's birthday cake ice cream. The letters on the carton are backwards because images are flipped when you use the user facing camera on a cell phone.

Sometimes I feel ungrateful for feeling this way. But also, the people who GET me? They never do this, and I never had to ask. 🤔 I need to figure out how to communicate this need without yucking people's yum BEFORE I get an awkward invite I have to turn down.
Excited guy/Disappointed guy meme. Image of an exited guy on the top half of the meme, next to the caption: "Following actual plays for games you can't stand, as a show of support for marginalized content creators securing a bag." Image of a disappointed guy on the bottom half of the meme, next to the caption: "Being invited to play in private games using the same systems, because people mistakenly think you like those games."

They definitely studied Mark 10:25 that night.
Screenshot of a Facebook post by Rob Ert. The body of the post reads "I just wanna thank Luigi Mangione for leading the Bible study at my home on 12/04/2024 between the hours of 6am and 6pm. My [sic] YHVH bless and keep you brother 🙏 🙏" Beneath the text are two images. One of Luigi Mangione smiling at the camera, wearing a navy suit jacket and sky blue dress shirt. The second is a still from surveillance camera footage, showing Luigi Mangione smiling at someone off camera, wearing a brown jacket and grey hoodie.
