regarding the reading of rpg rule and sourcebooks purely for fun

Someone on Reddit in r/rpg asked what the biggest surprise of 2023 was for us.
This is the kind of thing I enjoy talking about, so I thought I'd share it here.

The biggest surprise for me this year was finding my way back into the depths of my library.
My first RPG was D&D Basic in 1983, and I've played ever since, tons...

I have been doing the same. Between working full time,  COVID, and being a primary caregiver for both of my elderly parents, I have gone back to my supply of RPGs and dove back in. Just fun to savor the physical classics and indulging in the PDFs of new games, trying to pull together ideas for when I can start taking more time for myself. If you ever get a chance to push out your reading list, it would be greatly appreciated.

Great blog!  I got the D&D basic box for levels 1-3 around 1980 or 1981, which was junior high for me.  I got all of the Advanced D&D rule books and a number of modules and played with friends off and on through high school until everyone went separate ways in college, but I did enjoy reading the modules back then.  Sometime a decade ago or maybe a little more, I somehow heard about Eclipse Phase and was intrigued enough by the concept and short stories that were built into the core rule book to buy it.  I've bought every core rule book since, even though I have no interest in playing the game.  I also bought another one of the D&D monster compendiums and the Torment: Tides of Numenera Explorer's Guide after playing the PC game.

Just mind your business, and don't be a dick.

Whenever I post pictures of me and my favorite human on a date, someone has to be a dick with bad faith sealioning about our masks. There is no point engaging with these chuds, because all they want to do is waste my time and/or drag me and anyone else they can into an argument. (At some point, I began telling people, “What you’re trying...

So true. So many people are being dicks these days. But luckily in my personal life and internet life I don’t have that. Since I get along with a lot of people but yeah there’s always one asshole to spoil the mood isn’t there. If people want to still wear mask when they’re out, let them. They’ve been doing that in Japan long before the covid and no one bats an eye. Yeah it is just silly isn’t it. There’s just some people who just want to start up drama for no reason. Best to walk away and do what you do you know. Glad you’re looking after yourself mate! 👍🏻

At the beginning of summer, as I was nearing the end of The Witcher: The Wild Hunt, I asked the Internet for a game recommendation that would tick some very specific boxes for me, including open world, entertaining combat, some crafting, all that stuff I loved about The Witcher.

My friend Will texted me and said “The answer to your question is Assassin’s Creed: Origins...

A little over a month ago, I was having a rough day with my brain goblins, so I wrote myself this note to remind myself that Depression Lies.

I stuck it to my monitor, next to another one that reminded me to relax my shoulders and breathe.

At some point, it fell off and I forgot about it. Just now, I got under my

Nerds! I have a project out today!

Felicia Day wrote an hilarious original series called Third Eye, and she cast me to play Robigus, a villain you love to hate, who is constantly slamming his dick in the door.

I wrote a blog on my blog.

Author’s note: these memories are extremely old. I’ve done my best to convey the emotional truth of this story, but I’m sure some of these details are not perfectly accurate. Names and other details have been changed.

I get a ton of junk email, like we all do. I have aggressive filtering, like most of us do. But something gets through every day, because reasons.

My personal favorites are the ones that address me as if I am, personally, Barnes & Noble. They frequently offer cleaning and reputational services (for me, Mr. Barnes & Noble), as well as something about putting Google...

I must think about this. Aren't we mixing metaphors? It was very funny until I started thinking about it. Perhaps there's a lesson here. I don't know. I'll have to think about it.

In 1960, SAG and WGA struck to force management to adapt to the new technology of television. Without that strike and the agreement it birthed, residual use payments would not exist.

(This is me and my Spacemom, Gates McFadden. She's more of a mom to me than the woman who birthed me.)

My parents forced me to be a child actor, and stole nearly
