Credit(?) where it's due: Shane is attempting an apology. I don't think he's quite there yet; it reads too much like a "sorry if you were offended" half-apology to me. I'm glad he's talking to people and says he is willing to have his mind changed, but he's got more ground to cover, imo.
A post by Shane Hensley in the Deadlands Dark Ages Kickstarter about Shane's prior comments praising Charlie Kirk: Hi friends, I'm sorry my Facebook post has overwhelmed the Kickstarter space. I should have found a way to move the conversation elsewhere afterward but I didn't want to appear to be hiding for the success of the project. Principles always come first. So on that... I acknowledge that Kirk's beliefs caused harm in ways I didn't really grasp, and thanks to long and frank conversations with awesome people today, I have a better understanding of how it affected them and appreciate that they took the time to explain it to me. I apologize that I caused any undue stress to anyone. I still value hard debate, think any opportunity to hear opinions other than your own (as I have today) is a chance to learn, and will always believe that violence makes the world a worse place for everyone. I'm going to step back from this project and social media for a while, but you're always welcome to reach out to me by email or FB and I'll respond to whatever you to say. I don't hide. Promise.

Tiamat has arrived! This was much easier than Tyranny of Dragons made it out to be…

Thanks, @grimmla.bsky.social!

I got my #CriticalRole Vex’ahlia action figure today, and it comes with a disclaimer that it is not a toy.

If this figurine, made by a company called McFarlane Toys, is not a toy, I have no idea what the fuck it *is*. Other than fantastic, obviously.

Okay, but this is frickin’ adorable.

If it helps, I came across this comic today that made me laugh out loud. Whoever made this sure is talented.
A panel from Side Quested wherein a talking vulture tells a hero, “Don’t worry about it. It’ll be okay.” When the hero asks how the vulture knows, the vulture replies, “You’ll be dead soon.”

Like, this is a great visual representation of different dice roll results, and it's right up front in the "how to play" section.

I approached this new PHB pretty skeptically, and so far have been pleasantly surprised.
An image in three parts. The first shows a dwarven warrior making a mighty slash against an ooze with a 20 on a d20 superimposed on the image. The second is of a tiefling bandaging up a kobold with a 12 on a d20 superimposed on the image. And the 3rd is of a human falling into a pit trap with a 1 on a d20 superimposed on the image.

I am reading issue #1 of Alice: A Dark Wonderland Tale of Redemption by @seransdell.bsky.social for the first time, and the main character has a little cat companion I did not previously know about. Hell, yes. Tiny animal characters make everything better.

I am not the first to say it. I will not be the last to say it.

I feel unreasonably strongly about this.

My Tales of the Valiant hardcovers from the @koboldpress.com Kickstarter arrived today!

This was my first purchase from Kobold Press. Time to crack these bad boys open and see how things have changed since the Alpha!

Yes, I am aware Real Things are happening in the world right now. On the other hand, look! There's a dragon on my phone!

I hate this garbage. Tech companies aren't even trying to hide the ball, here: they are pushing #AI as a way to get out of paying humans to make #art. Need #animation but don't want the hassle of giving money to an animator? Just use our app!

Do better, #Canva.

Seriously! Look at this art! It's like if a Saturday morning cartoon had a baby with a supernatural horror graphic novel. I am hooked.

I'm about to start reading @oneshotrpg.bsky.social's Ultimate RPG Gameplay Guide. Anyone else read this yet, #TTRPG folks? I picked it up on Humble Bundle a while back and finally have time to read it.
