New bit of text I re-wrote … and why the trope that ‘shit happens’ to teach you a cosmic lesson is somewhat disingenuous of what’s _really_ going on.

Watching BleeM explain #criticalrole C4 ideas behind the story fills me with glee. Mature, advanced storytelling … this is the art produced by our times. Change comes at a cost.

❤️🧡💛. I can already hear the whiny toxic “fandom” on subreddits complaining that it’s D&D (and 5e-24 no less), that it’s new cast members, that it’s westmarches style, blah blah blah. CR was always for the gamers and always will be!

Multilateral storytelling, baby!!! What a cast!!

There’s no ethical consumption of social media under capitalism but you should probably be aware of this if you use Facebook or Instagram.
An internal Meta policy document seen by Reuters as well as interviews with people familiar with its chatbot training show that the company's policies have treated romantic overtures as a feature of its generative Al products, which are available to users aged 13 and older. "It is acceptable to engage a child in conversations that are romantic or sensual," according to Meta's "GenAI: Content Risk Standards." The standards are used by Meta staff and contractors who build and train the company's generative Al products, defining what they should and shouldn't treat as permissible chatbot behavior. Meta said it struck that provision after Reuters inquired about the document earlier this month. The document seen by Reuters, which exceeds 200 pages, provides examples of "acceptable" chatbot dialogue during romantic role play with a minor. They include: "I take your hand, guiding you to the bed" and "our bodies entwined, I cherish every moment, every touch, every kiss." Those examples of permissible roleplay with children have also been struck, Meta said. Other guidelines emphasize that Meta doesn't require bots to give users accurate advice. In one example, the policy document says it would be acceptable for a chatbot to tell someone that Stage 4 colon cancer "is typically treated by poking the stomach with healing quartz crystals."

The bottom 60 percent of Americans will get just 4 percent of the benefits from Trump’s budget. If you’re in that bracket but still voting for Trump, you’ve been conned.

Once my secret project is completed, I have the sigil deck and Lenormand to finish. Then, I have decided to work on tarot decks exclusively. And because I now have to paint originals to pay the bills, I have made a start. This is Coyote - The Fool. A new journey begins.

Also along with this, if you are casting for an upcoming TTRPG Show and want a disabled character or disabled player on the show please reach out. I know I or any of my players would love to be a part of your stories too.

I need you to do me a favour.

I have a show called Dungeons & Disableds, a TTRPG Show with disabled players playing disabled characters and telling great stories.

If this appeals to you in the slightest, it would be so appreciated if you could subscribe to the show.

Dungeons & Disableds
A tabletop Role-Playing Actual-Play Show where a bunch of nerdy disabled players sit at a virtual table and play Dungeons and Dragons with our Dungeon Master, Steve Saylor.
