I built a free storyteller toolkit for Blood on the Clocktower called Blocktower.
It tracks vote thresholds, times discussions, manages dead votes, handles day/night phases. Designed around gestures so you're not staring at buttons while running the game.

Oh, I’ve not seen this version of The Traitors.
Oh, wait. 😂
After my most recent update to Blocktower, I had an idea for how it could be expanded beyond a simple vote tracker and into an invaluable Storyteller tool for Blood on the Clocktower.
2.0 is coming soon, with 3 major additions, all while remaining true to the app’s original simplicity.

GM: that’s a d6 how did you
Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊
The Night Manager.
I’ll take it.
Design notes:
* The add/remove UX was the most important thing, it needed to be fast & forgiving
* When assigning the Harkonnen a card, it prompts to add an unknown card (???) as well
* Tapping cards shows the card text
* Tapping ??? lets you select a card to replace it with if you learn what it is
I've been playing a lot of the Dune board game recently, so I made a little mobile-optimized web app for the Atreides player to track what treachery cards people have. Supports the base game + expansions.
Free, no account required. If you also like to get your Dune on, you may like it.

Or something.
Post a game you remember playing that no one else remembers.
Holy shit, I had no idea. That is deeply upsetting.
This is very cool. I just wish the article explained it better. How do we go from repressing a tooth-growth inhibitor to actually regenerating a missing tooth? There seem to be some steps missing here. Though maybe that's the part they don't know yet?

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable.
If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.
“You have sexy elbows,” she said to me while mine was preventing her from jumping a queue.
“I know,” I replied.
35 years later, and I still don’t know if she was flirting or trying to embarrass me so I’d let her pass. Almost certainly the latter.

I have said it before and I will say it again, Debate Kids are the ones actually ruining the country.
An excerpt from The Washington Post's interview with photographer Christopher Anderson: Question: "Were there moments that you missed? Anything that happened that’s on the cutting room floor?" Anderson: "I don’t think there’s anything I missed that I wish I’d gotten. I’ll give you a little anecdote: Stephen Miller was perhaps the most concerned about the portrait session. He asked me, 'Should I smile or not smile?' and I said, 'How would you want to be portrayed?' We agreed that we would do a bit of both. And then when we were finished, he comes up to me to shake my hand and say goodbye. And he says to me, 'You know, you have a lot of power in the discretion you use to be kind to people.' And I looked at him and I said, 'You know, you do, too.'"

So much of my personality is defined by Postcards From the Edge. Rewatching it is like peeling my ego back to when I was 14 years old.

It looks like the cops have got themselves an RV.

Welp, @defunctland.bsky.social just dropped a four-and-a-half-hour documentary about Disney animatronics and you’re damn right I’m watching it.
Beware anyone who loudly labels themselves a "truth-teller."
The opening titles for It: Welcome to Derry are a goddamned delight.
The show, too.
I have what seems to be a pimple on my elbow, and I never realized how much I lean on my elbows.
Ow. 😣
Marjorie Tsylor Greene was hated by the left for years and never had to fear for her life. She is hated by the right for two days and hires a security detail. What does that tell you?

why indeed
Oof, yeah. I had a low fodmap partner and it made cooking a huge challenge. Good luck, friend. And as a colon cancer survivor, hopefully not that. 🤞
