what's up gamers, I'm back with ten more tangible tips for editing your tabletop RPG manuscript: samsorensen.blot.im/ten-more-tan...
![screenshot of a blogpost that reads:
"Ten More Tangible Tips for Editing Your RPG Manuscript
"1. Remove instances of here from location descriptions—it’s obvious you’re describing the location already. Instead of 'A hobgoblin hammers iron here,' write 'A hobgoblin hammers iron on an anvil.'
"2. For the same reason, remove instances of this in description entries. If you must reference the entry’s subject, use 'the.' Instead of 'Smoke fills this room,' write 'Smoke fills the room,' or better yet 'Smoke fills the air.'
"3. When writing entries for monsters, magic items, and so on, skip repeating the name of the subject with [X] is or [X] are in the first sentence. Instead of 'VODYANOY: Vodyanoy are froggy, pot-bellied water spirits,' write 'VODYANOY: Froggy, pot-bellied water spirits.'"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ku77xydmphm4eg5jvbgnqo7o/bafkreia6hlg2lyvb25iupssafeg44fqc43sb3a24zjabs7spzz3dt3ojgi@jpeg)

Having the thought that PBTA's sex moves aren't really innately about sex. They're about complicating, clarifying, or amplifying a relationship between characters.
And they're about vulnerability and risk.
Also, sorry Viditya, I'm using your post to springboard into this topic.

It's only PBTA if it has sex moves, otherwise it's just sparkling FITD

Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

This December, I wanted to give back to the TTRPG community, so I reached out to a few creators I admire and offered to translate their games into my native language, Brazilian Portuguese.
And guess what? The first two games are already available for download on my Ko-Fi, and they're 100% free!

This is a nice touch. Some barks a GM can read aloud when a monster uses its abilities.

mechsploitation is sometimes just a *weaker* version of that story and I will forever stay mad about what happened
I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter wasn't actually that intense. A lot of the "queer community" pilloried a trans woman and ran her out of society entirely and buried her literary future because they felt like it and they could taste blood in the water, and that's how all this works.

Recruited Minsc for the first time in BG3 (in my third significant playthrough) and it's nice to see the dialogue where he calls Jaheira his wychlaran. These little setting specifics are so sparse in Hasbro's stripped-down Realms that it hardly felt like the Realms till now.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".

JK Rowling got a full *decade* of press as a martyr for being "cancelled" (declared passe by people online) and meanwhile nobody considers it very interesting that a prominent left wing author is basically banned from entering or publishing in the United Kingdom for her politics
so this is like, one of the biggest free speech infringements by a western democracy in our lifetimes right?
