It's Monday, works boring and I know you're probably thinking, damn, I wish I could buy a cool magazine about tabletop games today that will then be delivered in September as a little treat to future me...

Well, looks like you just rolled a nat 20 kiddo!

This is an incredible accessibility move from the entire @hellomcdm.bsky.social team. Good games become great when more people can play. And Draw Steel has taken big moves to do just that. files.mcdmproductions.com/DrawSteel/Dr...

Happy Juneteenth!

Did you know that the banjo originated from West Africa and was brought to the states by enslaved people? The first banjos were made out of hollowed gourds! I think that’s pretty neat

For the Cairn Backgrounds Jam - Science Fantasy, I dropped a quick one called "Spice Lord." Its inspired by the spice dealers and intergalactic drug cartels found in franchises like Dune and Star Wars, meshed with my love for culinary quests. farlsthegm.itch.io/spice-lord

"The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional."

the cruelty is the point
A screenshot from the article. "A defense official confirmed that the Navy was making preparations to strip the ship of its name but noted that Navy Secretary John Phelan was ordered to do so by Hegseth. The official also said that the timing of the announcement -- occurring during Pride month -- was intentional."

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.
Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Books, videogames, movies... It doesn't matter if she's not directly involved. She gets royalties, and those go into her ongoing hate campaign. Stop trying to mentally absolve yourself. If you're spending money on Harry Potter, this is where it's going.

Do not give this woman a dime of your money.
1. Do not watch the new show.
2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts)
3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith.

When you design obstacles or puzzles in a dungeon, you should pack the dungeon with multiple solutions. The weirder, more esoteric, and more flavorful—the better.

I have more than one "puzzle" in the dungeon I'm writing for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM that's just like: This person will not talk to you or let you in if you look like a blood-covered, weapon-carrying psychopath.
