Thanks! It's not easy to convey the intricacies of star formation and agn feedback in a couple of hundred characters I realized 😆

Ok, I loved legends and lattes so I'm gonna have to pick these up!

The feedback loops, BH formation, growth and impact on galaxy formation are all really fascinating research problems where we really have fewer solid answers than we would like to admit 😄

Ours is quite tiny, it's true. But you can have much bigger BHs and still have multiple generations of stars, the interactions between the BH and the surrounding gas and how efficiently (and for how long) you can shut down large scale SF is *tricky*. Also how you get the BH in the first place is 🤷‍♀️

Episode 2 of @dicecompany.bsky.social plays Call of Cthulhu is out. Our heroes made it through ep 1 because it was mostly scene setting and they didn't have to make any good decisions. What will happen when they start making choices? open.spotify.com/episode/7DKw...

A picture taken outside of a 30mm d20 chonk on a wall, next to an acorn, with a squirrel grabbing some nuts right behind the d20. The d20 is pink with glitter and hearts inside, the numbers are painted black, and the one face is facing forward.

Got really lucky with this little guy. #dice #dnd #ttrpg #squirrels #outdoors #photobomb

Call of Cthulhu: It's Grim Up North 1

Still time to listen to Episode 1 of "It's Grim up North" - @dicecompany.bsky.social does Call of Cthulhu before ep2 drops tomorrow. Here's a spotify link, but if you search for Dice Company on any podcast thingy, you'll find it open.spotify.com/episode/2msf...

I am vibrating with curiosity as to the situation that led to this. No! wait! bad choice of words I didn't mean.....

Here's a thing that I worked on! And I'm only a week late in promoting it!

*sigh*
If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it.
If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it.
If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you.
I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

It seems somehow related to the "placebo works even if you know it's placebo" discussion, maybe Kip thought subterfuge works that way too?

Riverbank! Obvious and immediate choice! I'm sure @tcpatrick.bsky.social will agree! HOPPITY BUNNY!

It is such a good setup and I get the feeling Dave will be great at the creeping dread that coc is all about.

Also the northerner accents and characters are just wonderful

Yeah please and thank you. I would like to get off the ride now

Yes... Yes I am interested in that 🤔

The pain is how you know the comedy is working!

Ooh 😲 sounds delightful - he is a very funny guy here on the socials so I can only assume the show is even better

I mean lots of progress yes but clearly starting from a pretty strong position tbh because so much of early Coldfire is gold, audio be damned

Those are the best packages!

A 30mm d20 chonk called Enchanted Forest. The blank is made with shimmery green mica powder, some gold Angelina fibers, and there are different colored flower and star stickers on the inside. The numbers are painted gold.

A close up of a 7 piece dnd ttrpg sharp edge dice set called Enchanted Forest. Made with green mica powder and white flower stickers with a colored flower sticker on the highest numbers of the dice. The numbers are painted gold.

A 7 piece dnd ttrpg sharp edge geode dice set called Main Sequence. Based on a picture an Astronomer friend gave me about stars.

A few new sets available soon. Here's some pics while you wait. #dice #dnd #ttrpg
Thanks to @tabletopastronomer.com for the inspiration of the Main Sequence geode set.

They turned out so cool too!

I dunno, the sets you sent me stubbornly refuse to kill you so I think they still have some loyalty to their creator

Yeah fair 😆

They are very good words and well earned praise!

Dice company community week written in big friendly letters!

Dice Company Community Week is over for another year

We had community games, a live episode, competitions, prizes, an ENTIRE Mothership mini-series and a constant buzz on the DiceCord

In case you missed it, here are some highlights 🧵

It was a wonderful week all round ❤️ Planning for next year has already started, onwards and upwards!

Recently ran a Mothership TTRPG session using J Barton Mitchell's novel setting for The Razor and decided to turn it into an 80s style movie trailer.

All music/additional voices are licensed, everything else is me with minor effects, no AI.

I dunno I think we need Agatha to go less with his instincts on average. Or take an instinct tuning program perhaps 😆

A photo of a 7 pieces ttrpg dice set. They are black with white swirls, black paper sheets, black feathers and silver numbers. At the bottom is a text in a white font reading GlVEAWAY.

It's later than usual but let's once again celebrate my shop anniversary! It turned 4 by now 🥹

This time you have the chance to receive my "Dark Magic" Set! 🖤
