Yeah, that's what I expected! In my non game writing life I'm currently going to school for Theatre and am interested in production. I'd love to flex my skills on this.

I would run it. Do you want to talk about making this happen for 2027?

“Especially with theatre because it's almost religious because you're repeating. When you repeat things over and over again, it can change you from the inside out.”

The episode of Amy Pohler's podcast Good Hang with Jonathan Groff he describes theatre like a ritual that changes you. That the repetition rewrites you.

I'm a firm believer that nothing good about it was from Whedon. He did naked girl in a box and weird politics around sex workers and every flavor of manic pixie dream girl. So much of what is good about that show is in the production design by Carey Meyer.

this town ain't big enough for the both of us, pardner

Bonus Take: You should be larping. The barrier to entry is much much lower than you think. Get a Golden Cobra game and play pretend with your friends. Let go of your fear of the cringe. You can do embodiment.

similar takes! same hat!

Mint Plays Games: Warrenguard One of the first games I picked up this year is a game I've been excited for since I found out it was funding on Backerkit - Warrenguard, by Natalie Pudim. Warrenguard is a game about dragon riders...

Earlier this year, I played Warrenguard with my home group. I wrote up a blog post talking about the game experience, dragon media, and my relationship to that media as an ace person.

The first step to making a roleplaying game inspired by another piece of media should be to find your point of view on that piece of media and solve for how you're going to capture it.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

im going to be honest kitten the fascist administrative state is kind of hyperfocused on mommy right now and it's stressing her out a little bit

a sign that says “A COMPUTER CAN NEVER BE HORNY OR SAD THEREFORE A COMPUTER MUST NEVER MAKE AN ARTISTIC DECISION”

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

"did you cum?"

my dear...is a song beautiful only at the end? do we watch a sunset to see the darkness? is a story only valuable because of the climax?

but no

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

I just sent @ipr.bsky.social the shipping and handling fees for Warrenguard distribution. Pretty soon you are going to have this gorgeous book in your hands! Can't wait for you to see all the gorgeous work amazingly art directed by @abzkelly.bsky.social with so many phenomenal artists

I feel bad I can't recommend the play, but the entire run is sold out. I can't even see it again. And like that fact is kind of part of it?

Theatre is so fucking cool. Even when it is clumsy and imperfect it's real and right in front of you. It's ephemeral and instant.

(I saw a play my university is doing post Ketamine therapy and I'm having feelings about it)

“Hey boss, are you sure Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, and people aren’t just misspelling ‘Flamingo’ on Google?”

“Don’t be ridiculous. Of course Flamigo is more popular than Charizard, Mewtwo, Eevee, and Snorlax. Send the email.”

you have to be loudly pro-pornography and you have to never shut up about it. you have to become the "they want to take away your freedom of expression vis-à-vis cocks and boobs" person to everyone you know. i'm sorry to say it but it's just how it is right now

A pair of ivory with ebony inlay German dice from the late 17th Century. One appears as a male, the other female. They are nude and squat in a roughly cubic shape with black pips marking the different die faces.

Modern D6 are boring.
These 17th & 18th Century dice made Game Night with grandma far more exciting, were educational, and carried only a slight potential of being cursed, before Big Cube came in and ruined everything.
