I'm kinda tired of being labelled a spoilsport every time the terfwizard comes up - so please just read and share this blog post so I don't have to keep biting my tongue around the children I work with whose parents don't seem to see the harm they're exposing them and their communities to
After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
So, someone told you that supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans, and you either asked for more information or decided to argue about it…

Alex's deadline is Saturday. If you've ever shared an 'oh no' comic - especially if you shared this doctored one with a fourth panel added! rude! - then chuck them a quick donation for their horrible, horrible legal battle.

More TTRPGs should include a "game pitch".
Not a marketing pitch to get GMs to buy the games.
A game pitch meant for the GM to use to lure potential players.

More TTRPGs Need to Include a “Game Pitch” - Fari RPGs
Let’s face it, we (probably) all have too many TTRPGs lying around.
Buying TTRPGs, collecting them, reading them, and playing them are for many four totally different hobbies. That means...

How I would hand out a quest to adventurers:
"Do not tarry in the deadlands for it is frought with danger, also could you pick up some milk, eggs, and a human skull, while you're out?"

I'm sure I've heard of this before, but can't find the origin of this #gameDesign question. I call it: The Bear Problem
In a typical western fantasy game, where monsters exist & the PCs are expected to fight them: whats the difference between, say, a Hippogriff and a Bear?🧵 1/13

So when you want to get a better idea of the culture and ways of life for pagans, witches and the occult before Christianity for TTRPG world building, where can I find good and easily accessible content that won't be full of innacurracies?

I wish more D&D YouTubers would cover some more of the new alternatives to D&D2024 like ToV by Kobold Press, as many did for DC20, I think there's a lot to be said for these systems and id love to see @ginnydi.bsky.social and @dungeondudes.bsky.social cover them.

I'm making a TTRPG and the rules are a bit more important than I thought it might be.
Type “I’m making a TTRPG and the rules are” and let predictive text finish the rest.
I’m making a TTRPG and the rules are just a little bit different than the original game and I don’t know how to do it properly but I think it’s a good idea.
Jeez roast me why don’t you 🙃

I’m making a TTRPG and the rules are very similar and the game has been very good for the first few.

That's perfectly okay, I had to learn as well. There's this amazing graphic floating around bluesky that gives a very good intro on how to alt text. A more extensive guide can be found here: www.perkins.org/resource/how...

For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards.
Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3
