The regular dentist visit is back on track in a few weeks. You know what it means: the season of flossing has started again!

Oh I think I missed this: Netflix is making an “Old Guard” movie! I’m not totally sold on it based on the trailer, but hey, that’s money going to the creators, so it’s all good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE73tpMvBhk

“I’m trying to establish a game system simple enough for beginners, detailed enough for experts, flexible enough for everybody”. I had missed this nice bit of GURPS history: http://www.sjgames.com/ill/archive/2020-04-23

“Who Framed Roger Rabbit” is one of my top 3 movies of all time so this short “oral history” article is very much my jam, especially seeing the early animation test: https://io9.gizmodo.com/who-framed-roger-rabbit-an-oral-history-1843668616

TTRPG hot take: if “system matters” at your table, you might not be playing a role playing game, and instead be playing a narrative board game

Watched Tremors last night with the older kid. He said it’s not very scary, so it’s “less of a horror movie, and more of a thriller”.

“Robin’s Laws of Good Game Mastering” is indeed the best GMing book around, if only because it’s super short and to the point. Recommended! http://www.sjgames.com/ill/archive/2020-06-14

This is really good: “Just Because They’ve Turned Against Humanity Doesn’t Mean We Should Defund the Terminator Program” https://www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/just-because-theyve-turned-against-humanity-doesnt-mean-we-should-defund-the-terminator-program

Treasures of Glorantha is out on the Jonstown Compendium! I did a couple of illustrations in there. The affiliate link is not for me, it’s for the author… enjoy and share! #Glorantha https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/317421/Treasures-of-Glorantha-V1--Dragon-Pass?affiliate_id=546342&fbclid=IwAR1kfwZsUGWw7TW4Sq8YpYgCpiiGwVV7Fzkz5w4wwtHDYaEPVx9IJaKnRAo

@bmp *slow clap*

Looks like all interesting children books start with a 12 year old main character… What recommendations do you have for 8-11yo readers besides Harry Potter and Roald Dahl stories?

Warm-up sketches! Doing a few basic random #Glorantha clan people.

I’ve been playing the first Monkey Island (remastered) with the kids and… let’s say there’s been a lot of pirate insults thrown around lately. Also: they love speaking like Stan the salesman, especially the manic hand waving!

I am completely baffled by how the 13th Age rulebook assumes prior knowledge of D&D: it doesn’t list or explain character abilities! The only list is a short parenthetical (p30), and the only explanation is in the index entry (p310+).

@KayEllen@koyu.space ah yes it’s from a comicbook indeed, but I agree the sticker is awesome enough by itself! I actually also have the t-shirt ;)

Have you read Sam Logan’s comics?

I had a whole bunch of leftover cardboard boxes from all those RPG books I ordered recently… so I had to do something with them! What do YOU do with your cardboard? (and yes I need to add some Runes and decorations)

I found a stash of old unused stickers so I decided to decorate my old Linux laptop!

I’ve got the week off so I figured I would start it by updating my RPG book collection over on RPGGeek… I have now passed the 400 items mark! Errr…. yay?

Well that’s it, I’m officially a Kickstarter “superbacker” now apparently. Does that mean I have a problem? Should I hold off on backing RPGs? More importantly is there a way to hide this from my wife? 😅
