I'm gonna say that TTRPG designers would benefit from designing outside TTRPGS.
I have learned SO much on my forays into creating simple video and board games. It all cross-pollinates.

More seriously, TTRPG designers should be stealing from board games, including entire rule sets
From PBTA going from the cool new kid on the block to the old indie tradition in all these years one fact remains the same: nobody reads their damn rules properly.

I don’t think many nondisabled people realize that laws mandating accommodations are purposefully weak. Your employer gets to decide what an “undue burden” is. They hardly ever get called to account anyway, but if they do, they can cry about money or work hours or pretty much anything they like.
Heh, some work training I recently had to do REALLY wanted to remind people that the ADA: AA means no workplace discrimination, unless the accomodations are a burden to the employer. Left unsaid, is that the employer decides what's a burden, and the employer now has an excuse to discriminate.

Like, who knows how the final film will come all together. But I can say there is a powerful authorial voice in this scene alone and because of that, it offers humanity and genuine connection.
Pixar: We strive for a "commonality of experience instead of “a director’s catharsis.” Studio executives will mentor upcoming directors to “focus less on autobiographical films” and, rather, “develop concepts with clear mass appeal.”

The Disney renaissance movies used to look different. They were planned to be printed on 35 mm film -- that's how they were first released.
Modern editions skip that last step in the process. It was a highly developed, overlooked craft, as we explore:

In an incredible move, Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Alberta, Canada has announced a gender-affirming care clinic for trans youth, asserting tribal sovereignty and defying the region's ban.

🚨 A new executive order puts gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves at risk of losing federal protections and could make lethal removal easier.
But the numbers matter. Wolves are not the problem. They’re being made the scapegoat.

Wow! @menendez.house.gov says that the EXACT scenario I flagged two months ago, where ICE "releases" someone having a medical emergency solely so their death won't be recorded as occurring while in custody, happened last month at the infamous Delaney Hall detention center in Newark, NJ.
