Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault 👍.

[da-janela-lateral]

Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.

people who don’t watch horror movies are SO confident that they know everything there is to know about the genre. like it’s okay to not know things. it’s okay if you don’t like friday the 13th or whatever. i promise you don’t need to make an ass out of yourself on the internet about it

[improbablecarny]

horror is an incredibly diverse genre, because there is potential horror in everything. it’s in nature, it’s in architecture and technology, it’s in human relationships, it’s in folklore, the past, the future, the mundane. there are horror movies from all over the world. it is straight up anti-intellectual to pretend that the handful of B slashers you’ve vaguely heard about comprise the totality of what horror has to offer. If you’re just not interested in horror, or if you dislike certain subgenres of horror, then that’s fine, you’re not obligated to like anything at all. but smugly announcing that you don’t like horror because you dislike a handful of VERY specific non-universal tropes is just as stupid as saying that you hate comedy because you don’t like adam sandler movies.

[improbablecarny]

this is what I mean by anti-intellectualism btw

[psychhound]

me: wow ... long covid is really kicking my ass. i want to read some more ttrpgs but im so exhausted. i wish i could just listen to them instead ...

[5 minutes later]

me: 👁👁 wait i literally can

so in case you are like me, and forgot about the ttrpg audiobook list (THAT I LITERALLY MADE. AND HOST. ON MY OWN WEBSITE. AND FORGOT ABOUT) friendly reminder !! here are a list of indie ttrpgs that have audiobook versions available !!

TTRPG Audiobooks for Accessibility

by Luka Brave Part of the mission of indie TTRPG volunteer network Chimera Hearts is to make TTRPGs more accessible. Reducing the barrier of

and if you know of more that are not on this list (made by yourself or others) please let me know!!!

"Michael Is Afraid"

A piece I worked on for my upcoming ttrpg project, God Corpse.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Amazing news, explorers. My rules-light DM exploitation simulator tabletop roleplaying game Exploration and Exaltation, previously only available on Itch, is now in png form

I hope you all enjoy!

[tpwrtrmnky]

recommended items for Exploration and Exaltation:

Character sheet (Just google one and print it out. The boxes and numbers' meanings are up to the DM)

Pen but absolutely no pencils and definitely no erasers (Unless the DM decides otherwise)

a DM (unless the DM has a house rule that says something else)

At least one d20, because otherwise how will you even know you're playing a miniatures game? (Unless the DM hates isocahedrons and is willing to put in the work to find a different polyhedron to work with)

A 5E module for the DM to painstakingly adapt to work with E&E instead (Unless the DM prefers a Pathfinder module)

Your buddy's setting-inappropriate warhammer collection. Your DM can make up lore for why you're fighting Leagues of Votann in the Forgotten Realms. (Unless the DM is your buddy with the warhammer collection)

A table (unless the DM thinks playing on the floor will be more fun and/or the back pain of sitting on the floor will be a suitable punishment for this ordeal)

[tpwrtrmnky]

Played this with my friends yesterday. By which I mean we hung out together and watched a movie, because the DM houseruled that we weren't going to play a tabletop roleplaying game at all. This shows the strength and flexibility of the E&E system.

sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though

[genderqueerdykes]

to everyone who has been talked out of testosterone HRT because it will make you "scary": no it will not. testosterone isn't "scary". masculinization isn't "scary". being masculine or a man isn't "scary". it's just another way to be a person. testosterone HRT is a good thing. it helps many people. if you want to take it, take it. don't let anyone else tell you not to because it "scares" them. it's not happening to them. their fears don't matter to you. it's happening to you. it's your choice.

you've heard of death of the author, now get ready for death of the audience: where instead of basing your reaction on a thousand uninformed opinions online, you actually read the text and engage with it

Some thoughts posted on our bsky yesterday that I think are relevant to share here as well. Please talk about the things you like!

If you've got a reddit account talk about games you like on r/rpg. They hate self promo over there but love hearing about new games.

Also QRT self promo posts with your own opinions / pitch.

Also also, play the games! It's fun and shares the experience of new games

☕️ ttrpg game design

i have lots and lots of thoughts on ttrpg design so i'll just drop one that i think a lot of new designers should take to heart quickly: imagine the person you most want to be playing this game, and design it around them, not around the most evil antisocial sickopath possible who plays only to frustrate and annoy their alleged friends

Monster of the Week - Digital Playkit

Hey! You might have heard of Monster of the Week - the dark supernatural game of hunting monsters, inspired by media like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Supernatural. I just made a Playkit for it!

My Google Sheets have a tab with common safety tools, a page for moves (with a sheet directory), and a character tab for every character option in the main book, as well as a few extras!

You can check this sheet out here, and you can take a look at my full public directory of character sheets at the link below!

Clicky.

Finally, if you want a Google Sheets play-kit for your own game, you can check out my commissions page!
