Our book tracking app Margins just went viral, check it out 🔥🔥

[Nick Punt 📚 @nickpunt]

My new app is live! We want to build the product books deserve. Been working on this all year with @paulwarren_

@WizardGoesBoom Chainmail has lots of holes to fill.

BS (1e) is a good wargame for D&D/AD&D. Figures are 10:1 for 1HD creatures. Has rules for every spell. Can be a standalone game.

WM is a math exercise. Fight battles with a die roll as a backdrop to the campaign.

@ADCPainting Good solution. The grids I’ve seen on some tables (Square Bashing etc) were a little off-putting for some reason.

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

@ADCPainting Does Eisenhower use inches/cm or squares/areas? I thought the latter but I’m not seeing hideous grids on your board. 😀

[itch.io @itchio]

I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down by @funko because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called @BrandShieldltd that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, @iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

@HardieEric @Jringo1508 As Elrond recounts, “many defeats, and many fruitless victories.”

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

The finale of #Arcane is a good example of how to rob a key moment of emotional impact by forcing another “big feels” moment right after. Unnecessary and cheapened what is otherwise an outstanding series. Clearly “we want this to happen even if the story didn’t lead here.” 😕

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

It’s telling that people say “pro bono” to mean “free.”

“Pro bono publico” means “for the good of the public.” It’s money, resources, and effort spent that elevates us all.

I feel as a culture we’ve lost sight of that value even as we’ve shortened the phrase. 🇺🇸

@MarcSessler Still seething about my fantasy win over you, I see, by what, 0.02 points?

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

Do you like reading? Do you have books? Do you like keeping track of things? If any of the above apply, give this a look.

We just launched our new app Margins this past week. If you're into books and want a better book tracker check it out. Still very early, new builds arriving ~daily. If you run into issues let me know! :) https://t.co/4IyRrKq70m

@TheActorsGang Didn’t expect we’d see a reprise of Captain Greedy’s Carnival, but I suppose that was the point all along.

Still my favorite edition. Gearing up to start a new campaign now.

Happy Bday to Tom Moldvay, whose edition of D&D was the first so many of us enjoyed as kids.

@KKriegeBlog Love the historical twist of Pittsburgh being pivotal at both ends of this meme.

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

Somehow they look way cooler/more sci-fi than tracks.

[Christopher Lawrence 🌻 @StrangerHQ]

Love this meme format

This incident happened almost 40 years ago and we still laugh about it.

Playing roleplaying and board games with friends and family is time well-spent.

@DKagemann The face that launched a thousand stories.

First time we played TOH, put a 10’ pole into the mouth.

DM: “When you pull it out, only half the pole is there.”

Me: “Oh okay, then let’s not—”

Friend: “I stick my head in and look around.”

DM and me: 🤦‍♂️
