If you have any connection whatsoever to a conference, I need you to read this and understand that some of us will always assume this is you until you *prove us wrong.* And that many of those involved won't even notice.

Stop making Batman films and just convince a stoned Elon Musk to dress up and fight crime with a GoPro instead challenge

Every once in a while something shows up that shows that there are still exciting new ways to tell stories.

This is one of them.

ICYMI, my game "Deeds, not Words" (about the English suffragettes, although it really can be used for almost any activist group) is available for free at:

The couple of playtests I've had have gone really well and I'm happy enough with it to publish the first version on DriveThruRPG (as soon as I get the cover from the artist). See also the game's page on RPGGeek:

If you read it or play it, please give feedback!

Some Asshole: humans are just naturally inclined to selfish behavior because of evolution

Humans: *form social bonds with strangers*
Humans: *form social bonds with animals*
Humans: *form social bonds with plants*
Humans: *form social bonds with robots*

if you come away from formal logic class thinking it can be applied to formally analyze real world social problems instead of having a massive existential crisis about what logic even is, you probably should have failed the class

8-character passwords can now be brute-forced by computers that can try all 6 quadrillion permutations in 2 and a half hours, but really, any good password system should lock the user out after the first quadrillion guesses. By the second quadrillion, it's probably safe to assume that it's not a legitimate login attempt.

Agreed. I think those folks have more in common than has been discussed.

It'd be interesting if the gaming discussions could be about what those scenes have in common for a while, rather than how they are different.

This is an article on how to play a role-playing game as a character from another ethnicity or culture. Don't make me regret it.

Re: my toot about LAUNCH on DriveThru, this would also be a good chance to leave a review if you liked the game, since my "average publisher rating" on DT isn't looking good.

If you already got LAUNCH over on itch and don't want to re-buy it, hit me up and I'll send you a complimentary copy via DriveThru so you can leave a review.
