You guys. A goose is nesting under the Spoon Bridge and Cherry. This is our Romulus and Remus moment. We already became ungovernable. Now we become myth. #Minneapolis.

Magical Kitties Open License & Campaign ENDS THURS! Big news! We've been talking with Magical Kitties' creator Matthew Hanson, about releasing the game under an open license. That would let our fans release their own for-sale content for Magical Kitties on platforms like DriveThruRPG.com. Nothing firm yet, but he's open to the idea, so we'll be looking into the idea more in the coming months. Do YOU have something you've written that you'd love to release for Magical Kitties? Then grab the RPG …

The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!!

Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on!

I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

Exactly one year ago today:

Join me on Twitch for RANDOM GM TIPS, with special guest Luke Humphris.

Luke is an amazing animator - Clinthil the Undying! - who is currently kickstarting DAM NATION, the RPG about what you would do after the apocalypse.

In reality, the scientists are using a robot submarine to map the apocalyptic melting of the Antarctic ice shelf.

Shoggoths might actually be the better option.

Submarine finds unknown structures beneath Antarctica, then loses contact and disappears An autonomous submarine named Ran discovers strange structures under the Dotson Ice Shelf in Antarctica, before mysteriously disappearing.

Someone's LARPING Beyond the Mountains of Madness.

Feels like I'm going to spend the rest of my life watching "experts" who "analyze" data while pretending COVID never happened.

If Kellogg's proposed a bill that would limit their liability for any genocides caused by Corn Flakes, the entire company should be dissolved and a full scale investigation launched into whatever the hell they were doing with Corn Flakes.

OpenAI is telling on itself.

Lot of companies who got people into their ecosystems by providing convenience have spent the last several years removing the convenience and are now hellbent on giving us clear off ramps from their enshittified ecosystems.

I'd love to know what metrics are being used to make these decisions.

Starting in May, pre-2013 Kindles won't be able to buy or download new books Post-2013 Kindles will continue to work, even if they no longer receive updates.

"Amazon’s suggested fix, perhaps unsurprisingly, is to buy a new e-reader. "

Well, yes. It just obviously won't be a new Kindle.

Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival offers global views The 45th annual Minneapolis-St. Paul International Film Festival runs from April 8-19 at select venues across the Twin Cities.

People ask me why I didn't spend more time in SO YOU WANT TO BE A GAME MASTER deep-diving how to run monsters in combat.

The answer is: Because Keith Amman exists.

My own memory as a kid watching it is that nothing is more terrifying than the snake oozing out of the mummy's mouth.

That image haunted me for a bit.

a group of people are standing in a room with their arms outstretched in front of a sign . Alt: Indiana Jones

She's 9.

She loved the movie. Best part was when Indiana Jones sees the guy twirling the sword and just shoots him. She jumped out of her seat and immediately re-enacted the moment while giggling hysterically.

a man wearing glasses and a hat is laughing with his tongue out Alt: Nazi screaming just before his face melts off, which is, of course, what should happen to all Nazis

Watching RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK with my daughter.

Daughter: "You thought I was ready for the face melting?!"

BBC - The War Between the Land and the Sea

If you've ever wondered what the opposite of competence porn would look like, THE WAR BETWEEN THE LAND AND THE SEA is the series you've been looking for.

Is this available of preorder anywhere at the moment?

You know Project ECCO uses (a non-complicated, ordinary) day planner?

Most of these likely never hold anything. The theaters know they don't work as popcorn bowls, so when you buy them they give you popcorn in a normal bucket and the "collectible" in a plastic bag.

And since it would be a terrible idea to ever actually use them, I'm assuming almost no one ever does.

Here's another one.

It would work if the egg was the bucket. But there's a giant, rough-edged hole in the back of the egg. Goes all the way down to the tip of the tail and even goes UP and out of sight into the head.

Completely impossible to use.

In a world where you can be for anything, be for:

- Trans rights.

- Access to gender-affirming care for anyone who wants it.

- Recognition of and celebration of trans people past and present.

Or what about turnspit faeries?

Having now finished it: Woof.

Chibnall made rather a hash of that.

Not just the dumb twist and gaping continuity holes, but it would've been rather nice if Bundle had been allowed to make even one correct deduction.

Random GM Tip – Combat Timers (The Secret to Their Success) You probably know this technique.Problem: Combat is taking too long. The players have analysis paralysis or they’re not paying attention.Solution: Add a timer, requiring each player to wrap

Psst.

Want to know the secret to using combat timers in D&D?

Picture of Mia McKenna-Bruce, the lead actress in the TV series, reading Seven Dials by Agatha Christie

Enjoying AGATHA CHRISTIE'S SEVEN DIALS on Netflix, but it's the Platonic ideal of everything wrong with "prestige" TV.

3-episode series of hour-long episodes.

Could have been a much better 1 hour 45 min movie if they just cut all the dead air.

So many shots (and repeated shots) just filling time.

I miss platform stability.

For multiple decades you could buy a VHS tape and know it would work in any VHS player hooked up to any TV.

I just spent multiple days figuring out that a movie wouldn't play on one of my TVs specifically because it was using Dolby Vision Profile 10.

What is this, exactly?
