Hello #Bluesky #authors #writers. You have been an amazing support of the SAG-AFTRA strike, & against AI misuse. Perhaps you might lend your signature to the letter against Data3, which unlawfully used thousands of books (including mine) to train AI. (Link to open letter in article)
9,000 authors rebuke AI companies, saying they exploited books as 'food' for chatbots
A letter signed by 9,000 authors calls out AI companies for allegedly using the writers' books to train chatbots without consent, credit or compensation.

Written by @matthewdcorley.bsky.social (Saturday Morning Scenarios). First came to my attention for adding SAN rules to 5e and the 'Lamp's Light Sanitarium' module. Whispers RPG ports 5e to a world adjacent to ours for Lovecraftian Horror. Good stuff.

Just amplifying...

Here are like 40-50 recent science fiction/fantasy books that I have read and greatly enjoyed.

I have a rule: I don't finish a book unless I'm having a whole-ass good time. These are books that made me wanna read to the end.
Since I mentioned being a book reviewer in the thread on blurbing, here ya go:

One year worth of review columns at this point. I only review books I really enjoyed and want to shout about. *I endorse these books!*

Now she's on the hunt for answers.

And revenge.

Then: “Rejected our proposals, refused to counter.”

Now: “Last Friday, 102 days after they walked away from the bargaining table and put us out on strike, the AMPTP offered responses to our proposals in all work areas.”

Would like to recommend this D&D adventure - AND ITS AUTHOR - as being exquisitely wonderful.
So I’m normally pretty 🏳️‍🌈, but this bigot got me pissed so I decided to release the gayest #dnd adventure ever. Punch fascist GCs, dress in drag, fight for 🏳️‍⚧️ kids rights, in an adventure you should probably get before I’m served a CAD or something, but you do you. 💅 Link in 🧵

Whispers RPG uses the familiar #5e rules & #d20 mechanics to create a game investigation & horror.

Folks have asked how we do that? Here’s an encounter from The Crowman. Art by Dani Serra

Weird question but research for a short story - do any of you remember any mid-to-late 1990s BBS or message boards? I need an example of one that related to video nasties or rare (or banned!) films.
