Lookin' good!

On this International Transgender Day of Visibility, and every day, it's worth saying: trans rights are human rights. Nobody should have to struggle to be themselves or to be recognized as themselves. Being truly you is beautiful. 🏳️‍⚧️

A set of screenshots from DEEP SPACE NINE. An old Klingon throws his arms around Dax and shouts "Curzon, my beloved old friend!" Dax returns the hug and says "I'm Jadzia now." The Klingon grabs her shoulders, smiles, and says "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

Star Trek figured this out thirty years ago. It's not hard. Even an old, drunk Klingon got it.

Min-maxing was how you played the game solo. You poured over the books, enjoying all the cool combinations you found.

I recently came across this image from our DOPES game. The player (Agent Joykill) rolled a +4 and I rolled a -4. After stacking on all of the bonuses there was a 20 shift difference.

I miss our DOPES games. ❤️

I'm about two weeks out from a fresh release. I'll loop you in!

Absolutely!

What a fertile era to take inspiration from for a book.

There was a lot of resistance to it. People don't like change. AND, all this was happening as the rest of US culture was also changing. Free love, hippies, communes, anti-war, etc.

Prior to Vatican II, priests would face away from the congregation—facing God—and recite mass in Latin. Vatican II was a bold move to make going to church more accessible to the people.

I think I want to write a "modern" wizard book that parallels the cultural change of Vatican II in the 60s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_...

People like that are why we can't have nice things.

Accessibility For Everyone by Laura Kalbag Read the book online for free.

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

NOW - Musk: "My prediction is there'll be more robots than people... everyone on Earth is going to have one and going to want one... who wouldn't want a robot to... watch over your kids, take care of your pets... we are in the most interesting time in history." 4:08 PM Jan 22, 2026 223.8K Views

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids?

The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

That money could’ve ended homelessness in the US, or established UBI for every American, student loan erasure, or supercharged every creative industry in existence to pay artists better,

instead of, yknow, blowing it on dead malls full of Elegy of Emptiness statues for rich people

I want to run more Daggerheart to make sure, but it may end up being a regular staple in my GM toolkit.

The book gives lots of example opponents and gives them types. But I have freedom to use any of the game’s hooks—hope, fear, countdown clocks, actions, stress, hit points, armor slots, etc.

Daggerheart hits the sweet spot. The currencies of Hope and Fear flow fast and furiously.

Prep is easy and leans into what I want most, the ability to invent abilities.

I’m not a fan of modern D&D (4e or 5e).

PF1e and 3.5 are fun for me to play, but I don’t have the free time to prep them properly.

Kicked the tires on Daggerheart this weekend.

The short version: I’m going to run a TTRPG campaign with it.

Fate is my ride or die, but I’ve been wanting something with more crunch.

JD Vance supports murdering American citizens. He's made that perfectly clear today. If he's willing to defend the murder of Renee Good, he would defend your murder, too.

Sesh.fyi has all of the features our TTRPG group needs.

Including being able to custom calendars, so that I see events on my own calendar.

Given that Discord has a focus on community, I expected a lot more from their events setup.

I can't directly invite people to events.
I can't limit who sees events.
You can't have conversations in an event.

In order to properly manage events, I had to use a third party bot.

I expected more from Discord events.

Last month our TTRPG group's server of choice, Guilded, closed its doors.

While I'm working on a Discord Clone for D&D, it isn't ready yet so that group decided to move to Discord.

That is what I'm hoping for!
