WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!

crazy how much this bugs me now that someone pointed it out. if i worked at the white house, i would find this ugly, but not as annoying as i do now. ignorance is really bliss bc they more you learn, the more you just walk around thinking "collar gap" and "kerning is off."

Marga, the girl with the wild curls, is gone. Among the seventeen suspects are:
- A silent cook who cries into the meat
- A sick nun who haunts the halls at night
- A morose poet who collects bones
- A doctor who measures you with his eyes
Who do you think is responsible?

Ever since I started to discover the OSR through Mausritter, I've been thinking about why mice were such an effective way to introduce me tot the play style. The Prismatic Wasteland just made my life a little easier by settling the matter in this neat little blog. Worth the read!

I’d Rather Be a Mouse Than an Elf — Prismatic Wasteland
I love pretending to be an elf just as much as the next guy, but it pales in comparison to the joys of pretending to be a mouse with a sewing needle sword at my side.

Y'all, the things I'm penning in my notes to improve on this ashcan are making me very nervous and very excited.
Have I talked about Family Meal yet? @napel.itch.io 's rpg about running the front and back half of a restaurant? Felt real good to go back to that sort of space and not have to deal with real drama but instead pretend drama with my friends.

I find it kind of beautiful that we're seeing the next iteration of Apocalypse World's DIY art. Two of the biggest names in indie roleplaying games show, once again, that it's not about spectacle or expense. It's about using the skills you have and the skills you can develop to make it how you can.
