Ballpoint Sierpiński Spinner (2026)

Dungeon crawling game set in a domain where the law of the land states that all hoards, troves, sacred relics, cursed rings, talking swords, and other unclaimed treasures are the property of the Crown, with the retrieving party being entitled only to a modest finder's fee, and also it uses XP-for-gold advancement specifically pinned to the percentage of retrieved articles' value the character in question is able to legally claim; much of play thus consists of fabricating legitimate-seeming provenances for retrieved treasures in order to obscure the fact that they were pried out of a dungeon and thereby defraud the King.

(No, this is not "yet another tax fraud premise". Circumventing state ownership of unclaimed hoards is a different thing – more forgery and less math, for one!)

Yeah this isn't tax fraud, this is commodities laundering.

Of course it's the paladin who understands the distinction.

rebloggin this cos i already know all about how fandom likes to turn natasha into a series of symbols with no center #but I LOVE how this set #uses the empathy we already have (are trained to have) for bucky barnes #and tells us to take it and use it to look inside natasha romanoff #and find her internal experience too (via tacsuit)

Happy Moon Landing Eve! Remember to leave out milk and cookies for Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and don’t let Michael Collins convince you to prank NASA!

If Tumblr is still here next July 19th, I fully expect this post to obliterate my activity feed.

Tabletop RPG where taking damage in combat is represented by physically setting the target's character sheet on fire. Different damage types specify different parts of the sheet where the fire must be set (e.g., top-right corner, etc.), and the amount of damage is the number of seconds the player has to wait before stamping it out. Any physically destroyed traits are disabled until they fill out a new sheet.

@scattered-storyteller replied:

Are there any rpgs that play with destroying parts of your character sheet permanently other than Ten Candles that you know of? Ones that are designed to actually be played, that is

Sure, lots of them. One of my personal favourites is Annie Rush's The Secret Lives of Gingerbread Men, a 1:1 scale miniatures game that uses an actual gingerbread man as your minifig, and the living space in which the game is played as the terrain. Character creation consists of baking and decorating your gingerbread man, with what resources and abilities are available to you determined by your choice of decorations; damage and resource expenditure are then modelled by breaking off parts of your gingerbread man.

Contemporary art haters will be like "i don't get it" and then not read the title or artist statement or the medium or the year or

ragsy

How to "get it":

Ask yourself, how does this piece make you feel? (No wrong answers)

Look for an artist statement nearby. What does it say about the artist and their relationship to their work? What does the artist say that they are trying to convey with their art? What contextual clues can you pick up from what they say about their background, or what they omit?

Look at the title of the piece. What is the artist saying about their work by naming it that, either explicitly or implicitly?

Look at the medium. Is there anything about the piece that stands out to you, knowing what it's made of?

Look at the year it was made. What cultural events might have been happening around this time? Was this piece part of a particular art movement? What was the purpose of that art movement, and what was it trying to say?

Accept that sometimes, you still might not get it. This is perfectly okay.

Will humanity ever be free of the influence of Edna Mode? Can any of us so much as consider the character design for a hero or villain without her manifesting in the room, fully aware of our sins?

were-writes

You know what, another layer of difficulty is when you’re thinking about villains, and the wise words of Megamind come into your head. You don’t just want your child to be just a regular villain. But how do you make your villain a Supervillain with no cape? Where is the drama? But Edna says no capes, you must deny them the flair. It is impossible to please them both, and it’s tearing this family apart.
