Spread the heresy without risking the flames! I have always been a fan of procedural generation and games that have you build the setting as you go. I don't know what world you want to explore so why not make those big ontological questions part of the game?

“Nephews in Peril” is the Deal of the Day over at @DriveThruRPG! I’ve got a rather subtle mystery in there, but you’ll really want it for everyone else’s good @BrindlewoodBay content!

I finally read the Project 2025's proposals for education. It's easy enough to say "abolish the department of education." I mean, who outside of Washington actually cares about how the federal government organizes its education programs? But what you might care about is that

@bebarce Man, I used to RUN home from the bus after school to catch the last 5-10 minutes of the episode, which came on just too early in the afternoon for me to ever see a full episode. It was this imagined gem I never got to experience and likely inflated in my head. Haha.

"Israel is the country to look at for what's coming for the US future. Biden, like Bennett, is a placeholder president. The government Trump would create will be like the one Netanyahu created: an alliance with the most brutal far-right extremists." https://t.co/YnADHPvVGs

For months, polls have shown Hawley with the lowest approval of any incumbent GOP Senator running in 2024. Now we know this race is a dead heat.

Hawley’s mega-donor allies just dropped $1M into a new Super PAC to slow our momentum. Can you chip in to help us fight back and win?

[Calvin Johns @anthroposgames]

@FallOnMyBlade Nice.
