I often wonder about this. I don't need the bottom version. I mean, it's great, but the story still works just fine with the tip version.

This is exactly why I do not accept “We just grew up differently” and “Well, I grew up in a different time” as even close to valid excuses. #ethical

Both. Being able to search a digital book is exceptionally useful, but I prefer reading a physical book.

You know what would make that new story idea shine? A new notebook to jot those bits of setting and dialogue in... It really works! www.etsy.com/listing/1706...

The Acolyte is great! So done with ignorant jerks attacking literally everything. Ignore the haters and watch! And to be clear, I'm not saying it's the best series ever, but I'm not going to miss a single episode. Really enjoying it.

Maybe the coolest fan-made thing for the Marvel Multiverse RPG: a VHS case made for X-Men '97 that holds the player's dice and custom-made cards, plus the inside of the case insert serves as the character sheet! Brilliant!
(h/t to @davidgallaher.bsky.social, who sent this along from James Hickson.)

I...I need to sit down. Just saw a Star Wars fanboy complain about the Witches of Dathomir and how they're a Disney invention and Dave Filoni created them to appease woke culture and the legacy of Star Wars is tanking because of it and... The urge to nerd lecture this guy on old SW lore is STRONG.

The latest episode of Doctor Who was fantastic! And, I'm not sure how it's possible, seeing as it's already like the apex of nerdy shows, but it was even NERDIER than normal in all the best ways!

HOW are we not all talking about the Acolyte? I loved the first 2 ep! Incredible fight scenes, light episodic action stories, cool bad guys, fantastic droids (seat droids!), super cool jedi. Loved it. It wasn't perfect and at times some serious cheese but a) that's star wars and b) I don't care. :)

I'd buy you that drink! As someone who couldn't have made their stuff without Kickstarter, I'm deeply curious since I'm betting you have darn good reasons and I'm wondering what I missed.

My only disagreement with the article is this line "Cap stares awkwardly." I think this was an artifact of the tiny piece of art. From the start I get the impression Cap knows exactly what's up (has always known) and it's just not a thing for Cap. Which is what I expect from "my" Captain America.

In my read through of every Marvel Comic (up to April 1983!) I came across a cool story in Captain America #268 by J.M. DeMatteis & Mike Zeck. I planned to post about it for Pride Month - but discovered @eileen2thestars.bsky.social did it better in 2018! So here it is! bookriot.com/marvels-firs...

The Aegean Sea hasn't seemed to give people problems so we felt fine about the name. But admittedly it's not easy for everyone.

Not to mention the potential financial strain being out of work creates. I'd rather see a friend keep being able to pay their rent, eat, and get medical care when they need it than stomp off the job on principle.

Please remember that if a company behaves in a crappy way, not all the people working there can "just quit." Especially in the US, where your ability to receive health care is directly tied to having employment, sometimes quitting just isn't an option.

F&^k Facebook for only showing me the most awful, toxic posts from the groups I've joined. I almost quit one that seemed super toxic until I went directly to the page and realized I was only being shown the awful shit. Stupid outrage algorithm.

The entire endeavor is focused on a "sustainable model" over a "profit model." If we make more than we're spending (which we hope we'll do), we use the money to pay even more creators to make more cool stuff.

Admittedly we're still working our way toward paying AN artist a living wage, I know we're ALMOST there. I know this can work.

Mechanical Muse, my company, exists to pay as many artists as humanly possible a fair living wage while they create amazingly cool stuff we all benefit from. I recognize the inherent flaws in my "business model," but I am sticking with it and truly believe it will work.

This tracks with my long held belief that passionate pursuit of of the things we love brings indelible joy. I'm sure a survey among gamers would track the same for "Best RPG Game Systems." In truth, I don't believe it was ever the system - it was us. WE made it wonderful, whatever "it" was.

@huxleyravenwood.bsky.social wrote a really insightful article about how D&D is forbidden in some prisons. Disallowing D&D feels like an old echo of the satanic panic informing modern decisions and blocking something that could be really valuable and healing. www.patreon.com/posts/no-dra...
