Good morning!
When you hit executive dysfunction but also have a deadline to write a one-shot for convention, you just drink an ungodly amount of caffeine and pray to session-prep gods. Any tips welcome. With kind regards, stressed game master. #ttrpg

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

After my "Making TTRPGs on a shoestring budget" talk at Terminal City Tabletop Con, several people have reached out asking if they could get a copy of it.
So I've decided to publish my script and slides on my website!

This is not what I want. No one should want that. It's utterly terrifying that machines should push out humans from creating art.

Please play disco elysium. Like not to be dramatic but it's a really important piece of art and I'm sure some part of you will change after playing through it. I don't know what the truly moral means of consuming it is and I'm kind of at the point that I don't care just play it if you haven't.

So incredibly excited to share this piece I've been working on for months. I talked to Remedy's Sam Lake, Janina Gavankar, and Life is Strange's Jonathan Strauder about the multiverse - and how its present, and future, lies in games www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...
Why Multiverses Work Better in Video Games Than Hollywood
'Alan Wake 2' and 'Life is Strange' beat the likes of 'Deadpool and Wolverine' in terms of alternate reality storytelling

you need to take care of your tools of trade and for me it's definitely a keyboard too. I have mechanical for repairability but I am not a fan of usual clickity-clack. low profile cherry mx switches were a good choice but now time has come for o-rings to further dampen my nightly writing.

1/2 Guys, hear me out. LEGO Vampire the Masquerade. It is a perfect combination. Extremely dark and serious setting with light humour of LEGO games. There can be silly mechanics like rotation of a character's head to a slightly angrier face every time they lose humanity.
