April Fool's Day

Expectation as a kid: the purge but goofier

Reality: all links shared are to deliberately misleading "articles" and Rick Rolls.

I am giving away several of my bountiful collection of shiny #pokemon in scarlet/violet and legends Z-A to lucky followers of our network's new podcast. The more followers they gain, the more shinies I give Away!

Do you enjoy #TTRPG actual plays? How about #Pokemon? If you said yes to both, you'll love our new show @pmdomensofruin.bardrockcafe.com

Their first episode just launched today! And to commemorate that, I'll be putting on a giveaway (details first reply!)

We hope you enjoy the new show!

This same principle applies to the "self promotion" section if discord. If you aren't meaningfully participating in someone's discord community, no one is going to pay any need to you dropping a link and running.

Man in top panel: do I need to be better at social media Man on bottom panel: no..I can become a success without growing my following

I'm here to say what a lot of #TTRPG performers trying to establish themselves in the space don't want to hear.

A thing that Bsky just added that Twitter had - you can select accounts you follow to show up in a notification feed when they post, which is super helpful for keeping on top of accounts you really want to be social with, or keep updated on

Just click this bell on their profile and select "posts"

Great tips in this thread for creators looking to grow!

• Midori would get bitten while doing something poorly thought out. Bamei has to shoot her
• Fuzhou survives
• Soma survives, unless zombies can fly
• The twins die fast
• Hikaru holes up in her mansion and becomes a cannibal

I asked all our network performed this on discord but ..

How would your #TTRPG character fair in a Marvel Zombies style Zombie apocalypse?

💀 One bite and you turn
💀 Zombies retain powers, skills and abilities from life
💀 Only constructs and undead are truly immune

Hot take:

Daggerheart isn't any more exciting than most other ttrpgs on the market.

It wouldn't even get noticed if it didn't have the CR brand behind it

People who "read books" by having AI summarize the book for them.

(It's not reading. It's not even as accurate as reading the spark notes)

"I just bought groceries yesterday" is the most common sentence I think while ordering myself pizza, ironically

Looking to seat two POC at my next TTRPG table.

I put similar in the comments but other Actual Play creators:

You can and MUST do more than just say in your application you'll prioritize BIPOC creators. That isn't going to magically make BIPOC apply to your production. I am going to talk about this in a 🧵

I can't do the "no new pictures" trends because 98% of the images saved to my phone are either

1. Screen shots of mtg cards I needed precisely once
2. Screen shots pokemon go forces me to take for game progression

Common criticism of villains: meaninglessly attacking your henchmen is unrealistic because it sees disloyalty and weakens your organization. A realistic villain wouldn't do that

*Gestures at real world examples in current events*

I have a similar solution at the moment (snack baggies lol) but I guess I was looking for something more .. presentable and sleek?

From a writer group post someone sent me: "...the attitude now is so exclusive and unwelcoming for those of us who are either pro-AI or use AI"

GOOD JOB, EVERYONE, KEEP MAKING THEM FEEL UNWELCOMED, YOUR SHAME IS WORKING. 🥰
