I don't get why cons for readers & writers give air to genAI; platforming its 'benefits' or 'showing both sides'. That's mainstream chat; not discussion for creatives & attendees come to see them. Treat genAI like the environmentally destructive inaccurate plagiarism machine we creatives know it is.

I've updated my Bluesky #TTRPG Starter Pack Directory to add 20 new starter packs. The directory has also seen some slight reorganization, with artists/cartographers and physical good creators getting their own sections now.

Congratulations to @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social on his retirement. His innumerable contributions to #DnD, especially #DnD5e, are in great part responsible for my deeper re-immersion in the game I've loved since the 1980s. The revised rules are amazing—a high note indeed for him to go out on!
🫡🐉🖖
Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Fascinating. And sounds like just the sort of nasty thing the Norman invaders would have done during those early years of conquest.... #TeamHarold 😜

1/ Cambridge Castle is tucked away up past Kettle's Yard. 200yrs ago many Anglo-Saxon gravestones were found there. Now Paul Everson & David Stocker have pieced together their history; in 1068 the castle was built over a cemetery - hurredly & deliberately desecrating graves not long put up...

These are on my TBR list, and I look forward to reading them, but I also just want to say how much I love these covers--individually and as a thematic trio. They're just beautiful.

#BookSky

🤩 I'm on board for this! The original VIKINGS is one of my all-time favorites. I found the characters in the followup VIKINGS: VALHALLA far less compelling (even though I love that period of history), but BLOODAXE is closer temporally to the original and sounds like it has lots of potential. 🪓
