    So nearly a year ago, I made a passing mention of my "Dora The Explorer" method of running travelling, and how it's very helpful for new DMs. Someone asked for more details, so um like 12 months later, here you go! A thread on how to run travelling/exploration as a new DM 🧵👇

    I don't know who needs to hear this, but... If you don't have anything nice or constructive to say to someone, don't say it. Or if you wouldn't say the same thing to a person in real life, don't say it on the internet either.

    Worth trying, sounds promising!

    Talking with a junior engineer this morning, I realized I've never talked about one of the distributed work superpowers I've developed since starting at Truss outside of mostly one on one conversations, so here it is: Talk to yourself on Slack.

    Yes

    So the TSR stans found my Twitter yesterday, and they’ve been going hard, but I’m stubborn, so I’m gonna keep going. A thread: “Keep Gaming Fantasy”’s main argument is “don’t bring your politics in here, we just want escapism”. And you know what? I agree with that.

    I fucking hate that in our country talking about science is now considered talking about politics

    Nobody is coming to save you. I hope someone told me that earlier. If you sitting and waiting for someone who will come into your life and completely change it, I will disappoint you. Life doesn't work like that. You must take responsibility for your life. Only you.

    We mistakenly sent out an empty test email to a portion of our HBO Max mailing list this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, and as the jokes pile in, yes, it was the intern. No, really. And we’re helping them through it. ❤️

    ladies, you deserve better than to stand alone in a cold lake offering a sword to the future king of England. the sword is yours. the throne is yours. come out of the lake. become the queen you were born to be.

    Words have meaning. Misusing them ranges from confusing to harmful.

    Tweet from me that says: "Playing any other system will make you a better DM than playing only D&D for the rest of your life." Response to tweet from [redacted] that says: "Or we could just do whatever the hell we want and you can stop gatekeeping."
    Tweet from [redacted] that says: "Honestly, this onslaught of 4e love feels gatekeepery to me. 4e was kind of a massive failure. If people were talking about AD&D or 3.5, sure, whatever. But people are suddenly nostalgic for the not very successful system that came right before the super accessable one? Nah."
    Wow... disturbing new trend from D&D fans. It is not "gatekeeping" when people like something you don't or suggest you try new things. Misappropriating this term because you don't feel like expanding your horizons is damaging to the folks who it has truly victimized.

    I’ve felt this way

    senior engineering is feeling "what fresh hell is this!?" and saying "how interesting! can you please bring me up to speed?"

    This requirement is harmful, and this law disgusts me

    This is actually the sign that businesses that are willing to serve trans people in Tennessee have to put up. Please, please please please, please, Cis people, we need you to defend us, we need you to speak up. We can't do this ourselves.

    Really enjoying this

    And here they all are together. On the whole I like the way they’ve turned out, but there are a few of them I’m not really happy with, and you can really see the inconsistency of style when grouped like this. 😉

    Seriously

    2+ million people's lives are at risk with a massive volcanic explosion in the Democratic Republic of Congo. But trending on Twitter is: Rick Santorum, Joe Buck, Eurovision, Allen Weisselberg. Either Americans don't care, or the press isn't centering it.

    Why do we worry about making everyone like us, when we don’t even like everyone?!

    🧵 The Indian variant has me worried, and I fear Europe could be headed for a third/fourth wave if it’s not contained. If you can’t get a FFP2/N95 mask, follow the tips below and in this video by to improve the effectiveness of your mask.
