"Why do they need a science fiction writer at the hospital?"

"Look, if they NEED a science fiction writer at the hospital, then shit has gotten REALLY weird, I must depart"

For $20 today only I will call you in a panic during your family dinner and tell you there is an emergency at the hospital and your assistance is required

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people

A funny little illustration from Dragon Magazine 31, comparing the heights of various D&D giants.

Check out the wee little 10ft tall hill giant.

The article included this oddly specific table detailing how tall a miniature needs to be to adequately represent various types of giants.

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

Starter packs are genius, but I was surprised there wasn't a list of them for people to find.

So I built it:
blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

The website monitors the packs being shared and adds the ones it finds to the database.

Missed your stater pack? Message me and I'll get it added.

Most of the folks visiting here will be TTRPG enthusiasts, so in lieu of an intro until I can get one done, here's what I play fortnightly:

Call of Cthulhu 7e
DCC
D&D 5e
OSE
The One Ring 2e
Unknown Armies 2e

And monthly:

Monster of the Week
Traveller (Classic)

Plus a whole heap of one-shots.
