Awhile back, due to someone’s recommendation, I joined a Dungeons & Dragons art group on Facebook. Now Melissa and I have made a shitload of art (that link shows like half of what we’ve done), and I knew there were at least a few illustrations that would catch shit, so I started out playing it safe and […]
About a week ago Mark (Diaz Truman) wrote a really long post. In part of it he blames the entirely of the story gamer “community” for the (what he considers to be) sins of a handful, and in another part he virtue signals his ass off with the usual social justice rhetoric, which includes throwing […]

Though God of War is billed as a “third person action-adventure game”, it can be better described as a culturally appropriated, misogynistic toxic male power fantasy: Kratos, a very muscular, very abled, whiter-than-white man slaughters hordes of monsters in hopes of being able to just write off the unforgivable crime of killing his own wife. The start […]
Sometime last August there was a charity that you could donate to in order to get early access to the immolator, a Dungeon World class made by the actual creators of Dungeon World. Sounds exciting, right?…right? I can’t find the link anymore, but it was yet another charity aimed solely at getting women into tech, because as […]
A while back someone made a post on Google+, asking why the rakshasa in Dungeons & Dragons has a tiger head. Though his family had come from India, he had not, and he even admitted to not having a meaningful education of Hindu mythology. I explained to him that not sticking to mythology is a Dungeons & Dragons thing […]
Waaay back in November I wrote a post about someone asking if he had said something wrong in one of Tim’s pity posts. The short of it is that someone made a joke at Tim’s character’s expense, so he did what no rational, well-adjusted adult would do: he went on the internet and whined about it, […]
UPDATE (5/31/2016): Didn’t think I’d ever have to update this again, but RPG Pundit started a thread on his site in which he goes over the advice he gave me following Paul “Ettin” derailing a Kickstarter thread I started on rpg.net last year I mentioned that someone told me that there’s a forum where someone […]
Someone in my circles made a post yesterday asking whether anyone felt that what he had said in another post was “wrong”. When he mentioned Dungeon World I had a pretty good idea where things were going, but as soon as he mentioned Tim and Tracy I not only knew exactly what was coming next, but […]
