Trump’s mysterious disappearance from public raises new questions about Joe Biden’s advanced age
You have a few nights of material with all the LJN NES games. A stamp of anti quality if there ever was one.
I imagine someone mentioned the Praetorian Guard and they said "No thanks I'm Lutheran'
Tangential but it’s notable that when California does things it gets reported as “Newsom” and when Illinois does things it gets reported as “Illinois”
Yeah I would pay like $10 in the dells to walk around this place once,find most of the secret shit, then get back to the waterslides
Question for @oldgodspod.bsky.social based on this arc: When are Cam and Steve going to put out a Knoxville By Night book for Vampire The Masquerade?
This is what a Malkavian with 5 dots in resources and haven comes up with.
Anyway, guess we should try & sell some mags WS7: Cold War RPGS! Rick Priestley! Triangle Agency! Undaunted! Through The Hedgerow! Castle Rat! Terry Pratchett! And so much more! - out in a couple of weeks! Issues 3-6: just far too much to even get into. 450+ pages, at cut my own throat prices!
I'm looking forward to being able to play with the kiddo on the same team. I imagine there will be a prolific fan hack community putting out new material in between the official boxes.
It's the same designer as Heroes of the Aturi Cluster for X Wing. You can see a bit of DNA from that in Aces.
Over on @forbes.com I look at the latest Battletech boxes from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social www.forbes.com/sites/robwie...
it is my belief that the majestic pocari, milked for its sweat, hails from the same land as the stalwart nauga, renowned for its hyde
Uh @elisateague.bsky.social you might want to know about this
Join our small but mighty team as we continue on our journey to celebrate and connect people to the world of indie RPGs and solo games! Tabletop Bookshelf is looking for a hospitality-minded, tech-savvy tabletop RPG enthusiast to help build our audience and community (link in comments)
We’re just starting to scratch the surface of companies discovering that they rushed to invest a ton of money into the fantasy hype of what AI “could” do, not the reality of what it actually *can* do.
Apocalypse World has been one of the most influential RPGs ever. I am excited to see what the new version entails.
We...need to book an interview.
It's stuff like this that gives people pause about supporting this guy. He's got three years to stop this and we've got three years to find someone who can clap back online and also not hurt our most vulnerable citizens.
Lol. Every fandom eats itself. It's really just a matter of how messy the meal gets.
Over on @forbes.com I spoke with Monte Cook himself about @montecookgames.com Cypher System refresh www.forbes.com/sites/robwie...
I have a hard copy of it in the cursed artifact section of my gaming library
The only place needing National Guard protection when he's in town is Steinhafel's
I'm looking to go back in a few years when they open up the Indiana Jones ride in WDW. I feel like I learned from my mistakes but who knows what will be different by then?
I joked with my family about taking Disney Continuing Education credits when we booked the trip. You can't just buy tickets. You have to develop a strategy. It took me three days to get on Rise of the Resistance
When we did a Disney trip a couple years back, I couldn't help but notice how similar the park experience was to pay-to-win style video games.
This discourse is going to burn red hot when the D&D Borderlands Starter Set drops in a couple of weeks.
Don't worry Sean, I'm sure you will have a steady diet of spit and pubic hair no matter where you go.
"It's not a Constitutional right it's a shopping addiction" is an amazing, brutal observation.
It didn't make it into the article but I talked about the new legwork rules in terms of competence pr0n and Leverage with the designers.
It's the game design equivalent of being happy that someone cracked a story that's been bugging you for years and being slightly mad you weren't the one.
If you're gonna steal, steal from the best.
We have three whole years to find someone who can do sassy tweets and also protect our most vulnerable citizens. This is like debating who gave the best performance in Avengers Secret Wars.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
Over on @forbes.com I interviewed the designers of the new fast paced Shadowrun rules that are currently on Kickstarter. www.forbes.com/sites/robwie...

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
I would likely be in full Chris Farley mode myself. That's awesome.
SCOTUS thought they could ride the tiger and get what they wanted ideologically. In exchange, they would give him everything he wanted except the Fed. Just leave the Fed alone and you can ignore all federal law. But it ended the same way it has for everyone who tried to ride the tiger since 2016.
It's gonna be really funny when they push him as the heir to the golden toilet and nobody cares.
I'm sure this has nothing to do with Pritzker (it has everything to do with him)
I love the wholesome scavenger hunt activity while also throwing some shade at his opponents with the potato chips and the insistence you can do the hunt on public transit.
This can also be an opportunity to get some feedback from the players "Okay, who do you want to hang out with at this event?" DM are in the driver's seat but it's okay to ask someone else to check the maps.
Got some test prints of GALLOWS CORNER - A PEASANTS' REVOLT RPG zines in the post today. These will ultimately be in full colour, but I wanted to test layout and legibility (good on both counts!) Gallows Corner will come with 4 FREE zines for Kickstarter backers! Follow now: shorturl.at/lBFVx
Did you like the first two Knock covers? Are you a fan of The Painted Wastelands? (you should be). Tim Molloy's Mr. Unpronounceable Omnibus is now live on Kickstarter! Backed! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...
Sometimes the best games are the ones I go into feeling unprepared. Look to make things happen in the moment. Hanging out in the bar can be fun for an episode and spin the larger story in unusual ways.
I really like this podcast. I listen to the episodes that interest me, wander away, and then check back in every few months to see what's new. Looks like I'm due for a check in.
I've been noodling a Savage Worlds hack for this for YEARS

It's absolutely terrible but like the Star Wars Holiday Special you have to see it once to believe it.
"there was a time when Tom Hanks was not America's dad"
A miniature set up rivalled only by Dimension 20. That the main character shares a very similar name to mine was not lost on my friends
... ... ...do we do a viewing party of this at my next convention?
Yesssssssssss I own this too.
"I regret nothing!" "Heart pounding, veins clogging, Mitchell" "Movemovemove!"
How long until he changes the channel back to Fox News?
@benriggs.bsky.social goes into it a little in his book. That's mostly right.
It's an interesting argument that echoes the "oh I can't run D&D because I'll never be Matt Mercer" that also strikes at the economic inequalities in entertainment.
I also think it's audience. My AP is never going to sell out MSG but we get a lot of people who contact us to thank us for showing them how to play this game they already bought that their DnD group won't try. It's also ongoing fallout from WotC torching the fan base over the past few years.
This is also a bit insulting to the shows that are doing this kind of work. I've seen the impact TAZ had on Monster of the Week and how so many people are excited about Glass Cannon playing Shadowdark.
Attention artists! I need some original illustrations for some upcoming games (please see my thread). If you want to throw your hat in the ring, please reply in the thread with a link to your portfolio. And if you see this, please repost or tag in someone you think might be a good fit!
The only thing funnier than orange daddy going on patrol in Washington DC is imagining him in some kind of Mohawk and leather jacket to go undercover
Drew might hate the Packers with every fiber of his being but it's not the self hate of a true fan, and therefore weaker.
I made it a point to do a quick "what the hell does that mean?" paragraph in my Forbes website write-up.
Over on @forbes.com I've got details on the upcoming @criticalrole.bsky.social campaign featuring @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social as Game Master www.forbes.com/sites/robwie...
We did both on our show and I completely agree. The energy is different and we prefer in person taping rather than remote. Ironically, our most popular show was remote, but that may speak to it running up views during the heavy lockdown period.
anyway, some Irishisms: now you're sucking diesel - things are finally going well stall the ball - wait / hang on gas - very funny deadly - great the jacks - toilet shitehawk - a bad person ah here - expressed as exasperation Get up outta that - response to a statement that you don’t believe
On one of his many golden toilets.
You gotta hand it to Eric Adams. 90% of politicians are corrupt but he’s the only one also dumb enough to have staff write “CRIMEZ” on an envelope and hand it to a reporter.
Dominion lawyers spent the last couple of days looking for second houses they might be interested in buying.
The closest analogy seems to be popular bands. Sometimes they get out one big album and then fade away. Others make it to arena tours. Some work with each other well while others have individual members who always jump in the studio at every opportunity.
I really enjoy all the "old white hippies" in the replies like "say that to my face I will fuck you up, motherfucker"
In another video taken of their entrance, a man could be heard shouting at Vance, “Oh look, it’s couch f***er. Going to f*** a couch buddy?” in a reference to the joke that plagued the vice president on the campaign trail. www.thedailybeast.com/vance-hegset...
Conservative men are the pinnacle of masculinity but also very, very scared of where trains live.
I heard they are also embracing the grey restaurant trend which is disappointing.
I love how Heart is such a weird, deconstructed take on dungeon crawls. One of the classes in the new book is a riff on rogues who create their own deathtraps. The designer said it was born because you only worry about traps if you have a rogue in the party to disarm them.

assume the impetus is that some con artist who owns a paint licensing brand spent 50K on trump branded shitcoins talked some 23 yr old groyper dickhead with a hard drive full of content that would get him murdered in prison into believing people are climbing steel that sits in the texas sun all day

This is some 2AM bong rip shit, except people are going to raid their savings for it.
I was wondering when the greater administration was going to roll out some Sir Stories
❌ Fox paid $787.5 million for lying about the 2020 election ❌ Newsmax paid $67 million for lying about the 2020 election ❌ Numerous Trump lawyers found guilty/debarred -- including Giuliani & Easton -- for lying about the 2020 election 💡Trump is still lying about the 2020 election without penalty
"The problem with AI isn't that it can do your job. It can't. The problem with AI is that your MBA-brained boss's boss doesn't know how your job works and thinks AI can do your job at fractions of a penny on the dollar, and hears the siren song of 'maximize shareholder value'." MBA-brain is real.

That time I went out with a philosophy professor and, after hearing him talk about Socrates for an hour, asked for his thoughts on Judith Butler, and he asked who that was
