You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

This is a hugely depressing survey of the big auditing companies in general and KPMG in particular. I’ve often wondered how they get away with rubber stamping bad accounts and this, sadly, lays it all out (and more). Read it and weep.

Just wanted to mention that the #Affinity suite (publisher, designer, photo) is 40% off for black friday.

Excellent DTP, one purchase no subscription. Great for #ttrpg designers.

I highly recommend it. https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/publisher/

I've posted a write up of a playtest of Expect Three Visitors (which has completed kickstarter and is in editing and layout right now). People gripped by wrath, envy, pride and gluttony. Who gets the happy ending and who falls by the wayside?

Medium or substack - which is best for a hosted blog and why? Particularly interested in hearing from both authors and readers.

Please retweet for reach!

What have these got in common?

😡😎😒🤢🤑😴😘

They all represent character traits adversely affecting relationships… wouldn’t it be great if people facing these to the max could have their lives changed like Scrooge?

This Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/plane-sailing-games/expect-three-visitors-rpg runs with this!

Expect Three Visitors

Playtest story

Envy (Sally, playing Michela)

Intro

We see Michela with her daughter Arrow, who has just returned home after a school test. The daughter is proud of her grade B which she worked hard for, but Michela wants to know how her schoolmate Charisma did.

Just saw this excellent graphic used at work today, to highlight that accessibility issues affect people with temporary and situational accessibility as well as permanent situations. #accessibility #AccessibilityForAll

Has anyone who sees this moved from one mastodon server to another?

I think I need to (various reasons) and I'd love to hear anybody's experiences (positive and negative)

Cheers

Approaching halloween, why not support a ttrpg about spirits actively trying to help people. Possibly scaring them with sights of their past, present and future. It worked with Scrooge, right?

Can you get me to my stretch goal?

I’ve written up a new playtest of my story game Expect Three Visitors, inspired by the tales of Scrooge (and perhaps A Wonderful Life).

@apple #ApplePencilPro missed opportunity or development opportunity?

Squeeze to bring up this menu is good, but how much better if barrel roll scrolled through the options! (Rather than do it manually like I am here)

Bastards clearly don’t want me on twitter. There is nothing in my behaviour that is spammy or manipulative, although twitter is flooded with posts which are clearly both those things, so one has to wonder what they are smoking.
