There is absolutely no doubt that is a mainstream cultural touchstone now.

It's USPS approved.

πŸ‘΄πŸ»"The Colts aren't going to the playoffs because Tyler Goodson dropped the ball? How could he drop the ball? He's a professional athlete! He's paid millions of dollars to catch balls, not drop them! He felt pressure?! Don't talk to me about pressure!"

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qqp-tAoYo6k

Let's talk about that. Tyler Goodson isn't paid millions of dollars. Let's take a look at his contract vs his career earnings. His career earnings so far across 3 years of college and 2 years in the NFL, is $360K.

$70K/yr

@mdm @mekkaokereke oh, colleges should absolutely be paying their athletes.

the wto protests were a turning point for me as a college student, that's when i learned that the news media can lie, and that militarized police are the ones who overwhelmingly initiate fear and perpetrate the violence accredited to protestors on the evening news. i guess a new generation of college students is learning about this now, probably the most important thing they'll learn on their campuses in 4 years tbh

@seachanger I worked at a radio station several blocks away, with big ass sound proof doors.

WTO police used so much tear gas that we were coughing on the air

fans, remember, SaH is moving to an independent, reader supporter model on Monday.

When I created the Far Talker 5e background I started thinking about how various cultures used drums to communicate over distance. Then I added seven other means of communication like whistling, flags and optical telegraphs.

Over at @SounderAtHeart I wrote about the ways soccer increased my connection to the world beyond just being a game.

If you need more storyfuel for your game I cannot recommend @GWillow and Chris Wildgoose's The Hunger and The Dusk enough. The combination of story and art has me hooked already.

I'd love to create you, yes you the one reading this, a new background to help better tell your story in the game

1 - They created a world that didn't exist and insisted it was truth.

2 - The air tastes like sweet lemons.

3 - A dragon sits on a hoard of liminal emotions.

What's your favorite character?

Where do they hang out when they're not adventuring?

Well, the first Kickstarter I'm a writer on has funded and hit stretch goal one.

I'm on the Backgrounds portion of this Level Up Kickstarter. I'm enjoying learning a slightly new system (it's a 5e #DnD variant) and I LOVE the greater connections to story available through it.

Who put sports in my ? I did.

Here's an playable version of the rules I'm crafting for an version of Sports!

During the product reveals at PAX U the team also shared a way that fewer stories will be able to be told via D&D -- a huge shift from what they've done in 5th edition's evolution.

Everyone should be able to have Wild Magic in 5e . Here's a quick feat for those born to be wild.

Let's make a communal 5e character.

We'll start with a piece of mundane equipment -- a signet ring.

What type of person starts their adventuring life with a signet ring from an important house?

bedirthan, (edited )
@bedirthan@dice.camp avatar

Our communal 5e rogue stole a signet ring.

Why?

bedirthan, (edited )
@bedirthan@dice.camp avatar

Our nobleborn rogue in the canal city of Daoud with a terrier companion stole from their own family.
How did they do that?

@bedirthan@dice.camp avatar

I'm tired of Alignment and Traits, Ideals, Bonds and Flaws. So I made a simpler system for 5e

My upcoming smog-goblin artificer is going to have a pet (either Battle Smith or the mobile turret from Artillerist).

What's the most smog-punk animal for inspiration?

I still need to take this 5e subclass for a test drive.

Fighter: Conscript

You attempt to forget your past. Your neighbors may look at you as a hero or a villain. You go about your days, an expert smith, carpenter, or other artisan.

Recently you’ve felt the call. You are duty bound to pick up your sickle, spear, gambeson, and those well-worn boots again. Your people need help, and you are called to serve.

In the same amount of words it takes to list a single 2014 character's official personality I was able to list the six characters, their origin fiction and their personalities.

I'm never not using short-form personality again.

Though I've been drifting away from for a while now, it's still feels really weird to be completely uninterested in the latest releases. I mean, not even a twinge of FOMO.

bedirthan,
@bedirthan@dice.camp avatar

@Tim_Eagon @Da_Gut @dragoncrown any time a fan of a ttrpg system starts talking about their 'character build plan' or similar I shutdown.

It tells me that person and maybe even that game are unconcerned with what happens during play
