This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.

In particular, there's a dichotomy where WARHOUND is either porn or it's ~a book~. If it's porn, it's worthless even if it's good porn, because that's just what porn is. And if it's a book, it gets slammed for being porny, or for being serial, or for being all the other things that it is

Periodic reminder that dropping a note telling a writer you liked a thing they wrote takes like 4.5 seconds and recharges our batteries for 27-28 hours a pop

Taken from "Traveller, Book 1: Characters and Combat" (1977). It's strange to see folks insisting solo RPGs are a post-Forge phenomenon when there's a really obvious example of a game nearly as old as the medium that both acknowledges the practice and provides frameworks explicitly designed for it.
![Any of these three may be unsupervised (that is without a referee; the players themselves administer the rules and manipulate the situation). Recommended instead is the refereed game, where a separate player runs the situation and administers the rules.
The Solitaire Game: One player undertakes some journey or adventure alone. He or she handles the effects of the rules as the situation progresses. Solitaire is ideal for players who are isolated by situation or geography.
In addition, there are many aspects ideally suited to solitaire consideration. A single player can spend the time generating characters, designing starships, generating worlds and subsectors, planning situations, and mapping out ideas to use in later group adventures.
The Scenario: Several players embark on a journey or adventure together. The scenario resembles a science-fiction novel, in that some basic goal or purpose is stated, and the adventure occurs as the group strives to achieve the goal. Usually, the scenario is a one-time affair and ends when the evening is over or the goal is reached. An example of a simple scenario might proceed like this: players generate characters (Book 1) and then look for a patron (Book 3). When they find one, he suggests an expedition to a world orbiting Sirius, a world reputed to be the source of "diamonds as big as your fist."
In most cases, the scenario is intended to be a one-time affair, with the characters and situation to be discarded at the adventure's end. Strangely enough, players generally become attached to their characters and usually want to continue their lives in further adventures. To this purpose, the campaign is designed.
The Campaign: Several players manipulate their characters in a series of continuing, linked adventures in a consistent universe. The referee is responsible for generating the basic facts of the universe before play begins. As the campaign unfolds, the players may range far and wide through the universe [...]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2eo6pqby4dzwy4lz2f44p53x/bafkreie4kdidkpq5krvjfoycmmtk6tkdkixkzoxcnqm7gwmhona7uqugvm)

The thing about writing is that you will be drinking coffee and mentally working through a very perverted scene while you sip & listen to the birds singing outside ☕✏️😊

Also worth noting that like, three people requesting something at a library will get a library to buy it. And it doesn't take many holds to make it "we should buy more copies."

Personally I would not pick this fight with the youtube guy who demonstrates all the ways he can nail you with an arrow at 200 yards using his feet while wearing 12-inch Pleasers, whose wife can also kill you with her bare hands, and has 9 billionteen followers who are all trans women with swords.
Blumineck lo ha vuelto a hacer 🥹 le aplaudo hasta que se me caigan las manos, bravo.

this week's post dissects why naive optimism and fatalistic pessimism are not fundamentally less embarrassing responses to climate change than outright denial and then offers examples of actions we can take

Blogging, podcasts, and wikipedia were never considered the equivalent of slop in the pre-AI. They were often low prestige forms of writing with less quality control than big publications, but nobody thought they were thoughtlessly mass produced. They were/are the labors of individual creators.

Today on campus, BFA and MFA Comics students got together to break in our new homeroom with a giant scroll-sized riff on Wally Wood’s 22 Panels That Always Work. Next time you’re stuck on what to draw next, might we suggest Zoom In On A Face Punch (With Eyes Popping)?
