I wish there were more rpg geeks in software, because I feel like story point estimation would be a lot easier if you could describe it as “points of SAN you will lose in doing this”

I have a new novella out in the 20th Anniversary edition of Clarkesworld this month!

"The Job" is about a woman with serious self-image issues who takes a contract to survey an alien ocean for corporate exploitation, wearing the body of a bioengineered whale.

If the Kickstarter makes, I will be writing about RE-ANIMATOR in this book, if that inspires you to plunge a needle full of glowing green reagent into this project

A comic panel crop. Tass, a woman with tan skin and curly purple hair in a pony tail has her arms raised, eyes closed with a smile, she wears a dark purple oat with two daggers on a belt around her waits. Saryn stands next to her a woman with dark grey skin dark blue hair, she looks at Tass, as if awaiting her word with intrigue, she wears a dark blue cloak over a white collared shirt, her hands together at her chest.

How my ADHD works:

* Put something "where it belongs" (in a drawer, in a cupboard, in a closet): I can't see it so it doesn't exist

* Put something out in the open: it becomes part of the landscape so it doesn't exist

I'm gonna wind up like Uncle Billy, with strings on all my fingers

What's especially wild to me is that people decided that "acting under fire" was not only how all PbtA moves worked, but how *other* games should work. I've seen so many non-PbtA games that have a "you have to roll very high to get a full success" approach to check resolution.

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves.

Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:

Hi, I'm Lorelli. My comic is about two idiots who refuse to just TALK ABOUT IT. Also there's magic. And a tavern. And it takes me a really long time and lots of effort to make so you should read it.

Start Reading

#comics #webComic
An illustration of my OCs, Vale and Tassera. They're in a booth at the Crow and Lyre tavern, the walls are wood panels, there's a pair of latticed windows behind Tassera's head with bright yellow light coming in. Vale sits on the edge of the left booth seat, one leg stretched out toward the viewer, his sword rests on its point, has right hand holding it up, it's taller than he is, sitting. He has light skin, purple eyes that look away toward the left and the floor, long blue hair pulled back in a half ponytail and a close cut beard. He has a long blue coat, over a blue vest and white shirt with a collar, a strap is around his left upper thigh and knee high boots. Tassera sits on the table to our right, turned toward the right slightly, legs crossed, she holds a dagger in her left hand, cradling the point in her right. She has medium skin, green eyes and wavy purple hair with a slight smirk on her face. She wears a bodice style top in dark purples with straps and thigh high boots. They are both back lit in yellow light from the windows. A comic page set in a dark trophy room of a rich nobles manor. It's filled with taxidermy, odd statues in cases, a bust of a former king, odd books etc. Two women Vrilla (long read hair, blue leather coat) and Indi (cat ears, blond short hair, short cloak and a tail) stand in the middle of the room. Vrilla looks to Haln (masculine, dwarf, leather coat, dark hair in a ponytail) as he says "Can we get on with it?" as Vrilla replies "Of course". Vrilla steps up to a case with a statue in it, her hands glow red and runes light up on the case and the fade out. Vrilla gestures to the case "Wards are gone, all yours." Indi takes Vrilla's place next to the case and Indi fades out, we get the impression of Indi's invisible hand reaching into the case and the statue disappears. Three people sit around a table with a lantern in the center. Indista is a light skinned woman with a blond bob and orange cat ears wearing a tank top over off the shoulder sleeves. Tassera is a tan skinned woman with curly purple hair in a black bodice and white shirt, her arm over the back of her chair. Klies is gender neutral with chin length brown hair half dyed blue with bunny ears and a tan slouchy sweater. Tass says "a ruthless narcissistic pain in my ass." Klies followers her "Otherwise known as Zevran, leader of the Crocs. The gang that runs the east side of town." Indi clasps her hand together, "And he has a problem with US?" Tass gets up, standing behind her chair, "Zev's got a problem with everyone." She turns and walks towards a map of the city on the wall, "There are five major crews in Nalohn." Tass gestures to areas on the map, figures are show to the viewer as the she talks about them. "Each operates from a specific part of town. The Wolves on the north side." A light skinned woman with elf ears and long green hair, "Crocs in the east" a man with light skin, short brown hair, scars on his face a goatee and a high collar coat, "Dogs run the south" a broad woman with darker skin, short shaggy red hair, red cat ears, facial piercing wearing a leather jacket "And the west is mine. Well, ours." Tass a woman with tan skin and long purple curly hair stands outside the Crow and Lyre on a street softly lit by a lantern. She wears a white collared shirt with ruffled cuffs and a purple bodice. Next to her on the right is Vale a man with light skin, elf ears and long dark straight hair, he has a large sword on his back, a white shirt with a collar opened over the chest and a long coat with the collar pulled up. Tass rests her hand on his shoulder as she says "I could say the same for you". Vale looked unamused and a maybe a little sad as Tass moves away up the stairs to the bar, he says "I'm not the one who committed a crime. Several likely." Tass pauses, arms folder, looking over her shoulder, "Allegedly. You have my alibi." She turns, resting her chin in her hand as she tilts her head to regard him. Vale snaps back, "And it's shit, you can do better."

Today’s #drawing - after all the smaller figures I really wanted to do a complete scene. #bskyart
As the adventurers’ ship closes with a githyanki astral skiff, a brave fighter type with a flaming sword leaps over the horrifying gulf of space to board the enemy! I plan to add a starfield digitally if it goes that far.

I see where the goat is coming from, but it's clearly a kingfisher (probably a kookaburra) to me. The key tell is the pupil; a goat's would be elongated, even at this angle.

As always, if the best defense you can muster for what you're saying is "the Constitution doesn't say I can't", you might want to reconsider saying it.

Michael Tracey is actively attempting to dox Jane Doe in the Cornell 7 rape case
Michael Tracey : If you happen to know who this Cornell "Jane Doe" is, get in touch and I would be happy to publish her name and identifying information. And yes -- this is 100% permitted under the First Amendment, whatever threats or emotional blackmail people might want to deploy "Report" me for what, exactly? Save your breath, scumbag. Sorry you hate the First Amendment so much. Her identity is obviously newsworthy at this point, and I will take extreme pleasure in reporting it. (Not "doxing" -- that's a total canard)

I'm curious: is there a qualitative difference, *in your dialect*, between "I'm always tired" and "I'm never not tired"?

(I'm not looking for formal answers, I want to know your response as you read the question.)

But I don't know anything about tapes or digitisation or anything like that. I don't even know how I would play this. I don't even know if it's still in good enough condition to play.

So my question is... How?

How do I take these two tapes, this two part performance, and make the choir live again?

Shout out to the various archivists and restoration peeps who follow me:

Read the whole thread, but the TLDR is that this is the last recording of a lovely choir in their prime,

and it would be nice for them to hear that again, before time has its way. As it does with us all.
