A different perspective.
Always helpful.

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee.
What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

Visited my Dad yesterday for his birthday and we chatted about the trip my parents took last month to escape winter weather.

For 20 years they headed south, almost always Florida, but in 2025 + 2026 they spent that money on Canadian destinations instead.

This time they went to Victoria, BC.

Looking over costumes from Alien for color schemes for painting scifi minis.
First Thought: I never noticed all the white pants. I never think of white pants.
Second Thought: Lots of white shoes. I need to resist the urge to always paint them black.
Third Thought: Holy shit, Lambert's boots!

Awake, Embers | The Lands Remaining: Part 1 | RPG Actual Play YouTube video by The Bad Spot

It’s still kind of amazing (to me) that I conceived, wrote, play-tested, and ran a full 15-session campaign arc of, a fantasy game of near-unfathomable world-building depth on par with Elden Ring in… five months? Oh, and 12 episodes of a discussion podcast, too!

Oh I’ve been looking forward to this one dropping!

We are one week away. Time to meet the Embers, I suppose.

Two text messages: I mean, any fan base of sufficient size will inevitably include assholes If that isn't a theorem already call it Friedman's Law

If someone hasn’t said this already (let’s be honest: it’s probably been said a zillion times), call it Friedman’s Law:

“Any fan base of sufficient size will inevitably include assholes”

Non-RPG design that could inspire RPG design.

A trading card for fictional character Flash Gordon signed by actor Sam Jones

Football just hasn’t been the same since we lost New York Jets quarterback Flash Gordon back in 1980 when our planet experienced all those weird quakes and hot hail.

discovered some life-changing ttrpg tech during friday’s session: after taking a mid session break, before getting back into the scene, do a sports style locker room interview with each player (in character). it’s 1) funny 2) focusing 3) immediately and personally characterizing

Graphic with a pink background, the rrd logo and the following text. Just in case it needs saying, we are against fascism in general, and this bullshit specifically We stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota against the ongoing state violence there. Here’s a way to support mutual aid efforts: standwithminnesota.com We are a British TTRPG company, and we have colleagues, customers, contemporaries, staff and friends in the USA. We stand with them, against summary executions and against the growing authoritarianism from ICE and the US administration. We would really like this to be a one-off post.

Maybe not super important right now, but I’d love to see the TTRPG people with massive platforms say literally anything about what’s going on in this country. There are things in this world more important than just protecting your money.

This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.
