Scion: Mythic Shards Project Update: The First Shard - Draft Manuscript Preview #1 for Backerswww.backerkit.com Hello Scions! My name is James, and I’ll be your Onyx Path Crowdfunding Concierge for this setting supplement for the Scion Second Edition tabletop roleplaying game - Mythic Sh...

Scion: Mythic Shards is my latest crowdfunding campaign. It features 5 new worlds for you to play Scion in! • After the End: A post-apocalyptic world where all the Gods and Titans have died or gone missing • Cyber-Scion: A cyberpunk world where Scions pilot giant robots to smash corporate monsters

Scion: Mythic Shardswww.backerkit.com Scion: Mythic Shards presents alternate settings for your Scion Second Edition game.

Please vote for your favorite books! I'd really like for Pathfinder's Tian Xia World Guide to win Best Setting, not just for selfish reasons (I worked on it), but also because it's genuinely the most diverse representation of Asian cultures in an RPG, and more people should know about it.

ENNIE Award Voting is open now! Vote Pathfinder Player Core for Best Rules and Pathfinder Lost Omens: Tian Xia World Guide for Best Setting! Best of luck to all nominees—see you at Gen Con! paizo.me/2024ENNIES

Regular old murderer expresses disgust for serial killer

What‽ Are people really confusing a TV & film genre with fried food? Like, I get that they share like 1.5 syllables, but seriously? Enough people trip over those similarities that there needs to be a disambiguation link in the header?

genuinely hopeful sign that every big name GOP garbage monster is frantically trying to distance themselves from Project Say The Quiet Part Loud In an Easily-Digestible Bullet Point Format About Which There Can Be No Confusion. this means we should all absolutely continue never shutting up about it

OSHA much like union contracts. Are written in blood.

People act like OSHA is this gang of fun-haters who make up stupid rules to make their jobs annoying. Literally every single regulation OSHA has ever written was in response to someone getting maimed; usually killed, but sometimes merely losing a limb or two. Occasionally breathing corrosive gas.

We're science fiction writers. Of course we write stories about the consequences of technological innovations, and no one ever comprehends the story is about the consequences and not the technology

Welp. Time to fire my web host. I've had a ticket open for 2 weeks saying "Hey, the DNS info you gave me is borked. This will result in my site going down if you don't fix it/give me the right info." My site's been down for 1 week. And, they've done nothing with the ticket.

I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps. It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon. Go listen to a disabled author for Disability Pride Month! 💙📚

Same audiobooks. Different story.libro.fm Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.

Wait a second… @gailsimone.bsky.social are you under duress? Do you need help from someone with heat vision?

The short version? Things are fucked particularly with the back rent situation. That's our deadline to not get evicted again. Right now, best way to help is donations if you can. Here's the link for that: paypal.me/tormentedart...

So uh... anybody with a bigger megaphone than me want to help a butch out? The Gilbert Baker Foundation & CMG are asking a settlement from us for referring to the Gilbert Baker flag/original color scheme as the "Gilbert Baker flag" of twice what we've ever made from anything with those colors.

Who has two thumbs and got a legal threat from the lawyers for the Gilbert Baker foundation because he gave credit to Gilbert Baker as the creator of the original Pride flag on items that use that colorway? YEP!

The Tian Xia World Guide for Pathfinder 2e is up for an Ennie Award. \o/ That’s 42 Asian authors nominated! I hope we win. We put a lot of heart and soul into that book, and it really shows.

Damn! The Tian Xia World Guide got nominated for an Ennie! That's my name up there, along with the names of many other talented writers! It's heartening to see our hard work revitalizing Pathfinder's Asia-inspired setting get recognized. Would be nice to win 🤩 ennie-awards.com/2024-nominees/

Tian Xia got nominated for an Ennie! I'll always be blown away that I got to be a part of such an incredible project. It's the kind of book that makes my contribution feel so small because everyone's work shines so brightly. Go check out the full list of nominees! ennie-awards.com/2024-nominees/
