I can’t understand how even the most clueless libs find him a viable candidate. He looks like the fucking Smiler from Transmetropolitan. My revulsion is instinctual, like a cat around a cucumber.
I’m offended by his loathsome policies, obviously, but also by his location in the Uncanny Valley.
Trump was not secret. This open-note test was not that hard. I want people who failed it to come back to humanity, but that’s going to be a quiet, difficult, PERSONAL journey. It won’t fit on an IG reel
Until then, “Free Palestine. Arrest Trump. I’m off to volunteer” is all we need from you. Ever.
Everyone else—these “former” neocon and Biden dead-ender psychos suddenly grabbing for a spotlight or life preserver anywhere left of fascism—that shit is not genuine.
That is not how you behave when considering your responsibility for a vast, irreversible sin.
That’s a marketing pivot.
If Trump latecomers want inside a tent, FINE. There’s the back. You get one vote like everyone else, and no podium time on anything. You cannot be trusted to understand basic reality, and have demonstrated so for years.
If we need a hole dug or bag lugged, you better volunteer.
Someone suffering that much cognitive dissonance, all at once, is shocked to silence. It then triggers a radical psychological backfire effect—retreating into delusion and previous schema—or a major existential crisis starts.
Most do not film a TikTok entitled “$5 a gallon?! I guess they got me!”
While people are allowed to learn, grow, and change their minds, the default psychological reaction of people that spend 12+ years being catastrophically, deadly wrong in loud, alienating ways was NEVER GOING TO BE AN APOLOGY.
Jesus, a world that wouldn’t need therapists…
These “I voted for him three times and I was lied to!” or “Guess I’m an idiot!” posts are pure SEO grift.
Schadenfreude sells in the attention economy and stories generally. They want clicks from progressives and leftists: disenfranchised, scrolling, with very little hope on the horizon.
So China, which already surpasses us in a number of domestic issues, isn’t currently inspiring internal reforms in the US because…Dems aren’t blowing up their warships?
“I’d get a job if you stopped driving to work every day!” the US screams, destroying girlfriend’s parked car. She pays the rent
youtu.be/2e_T1GSLeTU?... Come and listen to our latest episode! We're playing Red Markets by @hebanongames.bsky.social , where it may be a zombie apocalypse, but you still have to pay the rent!
I’m so sorry.
Ah, the old CoC trope of including 50+ rituals for mythos unrelated to the text.
Do these supernatural creatures appear in the scenario? No. Are the spells and technology relevant? Also no. Will the info be accessible to players? Hahaha of course not.
Anyway, here's 15K words of stat block
Damn, thanks man! That makes my day! I’m glad you and the crew are enjoying it.
So we’re about halfway through our Delta Green: God’s Teeth campaign (maybe less than half if we decide to use the God’s Hunt scenarios in The Spiral)…. And this is the best pre-written module ever written.
It’s an absolute bear to run and the bleakest shit ever but it’s SO GOOD.
Congratulations!
We're celebrating our Ten-Year Podiversary with a festival of throwback links!
For starters, here's where it all began: March 24, 2016. The first episode of our first campaign, playtesting the original #RedMarkets beta rules by @hebanongames.bsky.social. Welcome to Technical Difficulties!
This week on The Coffin Club; the end of our Red Markets 2e beta playtest! Deep in the Seattle PD headquarters, the Banks Family Takers scrabble to find the security room. One more floor. One more floor to victory.

We've got more to share in this thread, so read on!
I will never understand that dedication to “it’s a like a mouse, but you use a controller!” menu UI. They are so dedicated to it, and it is so shitty.
The grey-out tabs of inscrutable stats will continue until morale improves!
This week on The Coffin Club: part one of Mr. JOLS, Truth and Consequences. Thank you so much to @hebanongames.bsky.social for putting the 2e beta out there, it's been a hell of a campaign and we have had a blast with it! Today, the dreams. Next time, the nightmare.

One month to playtest Phase 2: Soldiers & Sorcery. Create your own Black Company veteran, flaws and all. Especially flaws. ("The Itch: You can’t pass up carousing, gambling, or whoring unless you take 1 Stress.") theblackcompanyrpg.com/the-black-co...
Raven is a wonderful subversion of fantasy tropes because he demonstrates categorically that being in proximity to a player character would SUCK.
Yet, he’s still REALLY COOL when he speeds past, ruining every life in his wake.
A sorceress gestures idly while sipping from a mug. Flying tankards and cookware terrorize the barmaid and customers. The sorceress has earned a Stress reduction.
In The Black Company RPG, it's crucial to find ways to get rid of the Stress that comes with facing impossible dangers.
The next playtest phase starts Monday with a new scenario. This phase covers character creation and magic.

New One Shot Episode! It's been out for four years, and there's still no game quite like Fae's Anatomy by @hebanongames.bsky.social . Fantasy doctors curing fantasy diseases with the power of science, logic, and romance!
Welcome to Billy Pilgrim’s Unstuck in Time Radio Hour…or maybe longer or shorter, who knows? Perhaps all songs are played simultaneously in a 4-dimensional cube of sound in which all notes are eternally heard but resolve into a chord only God can hear? Sponsored by Drury University.
Who's ready for Round 2 with @hebanongames.bsky.social and @thenerdyape.bsky.social?

Actual Play Entertainment gave Red Markets 2nd Edition the red carpet treatment in their playtest. It's crazy to hear my game with backing tracks and professional production! The crew were fantastic players, and they really made the mechanics shine.
