if you feel the need to say something such as "woman and afab folks" or "women and femmes" et al. I actually don't think that you should find a different phrase to use. I think that you should rethink your whole sentence. actually I think that you should reconsider your entire conception of gender from square 0

I guess what really bothers me about holding “story over rules” as a guiding principle in tabletop RPGs is that it’s misidentifying the actual problem.

In tabletop RPGs, rules produce stories. That’s kind of the medium’s whole thing. Any given set of rules is going to encode certain assumptions about how the game ought to be played, and obviously the kind of stories the rules want to produce and the kind of stories you want to tell are never going to be in perfect agreement unless you designed the whole system from scratch (and generally not even then!), but if you find yourself disagreeing with the story the rules want to produce often enough and severely enough that it makes sense to adopt “story over rules” as a guiding principle, what that means is that you’re using the wrong set of rules for the kind of game that you want to play.

Any time I see somebody talking like telling a story and playing a game are intrinsically opposing priorities and it’s the GM’s job to negotiate that fundamental opposition, what that tells me is that this person has spent their whole life running and playing systems that are just wildly unsuited for their preferred mode of play

In honor of Day of the Dead, here’s a repost of my comic about the San Francisco Columbarium and the man who spent 26 years restoring it.

This comic originally appeared on Medium at The Nib. Go check out my other work there.

Emmitt and the Columbarium.

Hello! I'm organizing a tournament! A tournament between stars!

I want people to submit a lot of stars to me, the stars they think are the best ever! while it's a bit of friendly competition and of course only one star can make it out on top, the bigger purpose of this is to really appreciate all these cool and weird guys.

only rule is I ask that you refrain from duplicate submissions, but you are welcome to submit several individual submissions each for a different star!

reblogs and submissions are both very appreciated. thank you!

I’m finding it hard to source this specifically, but what I think is being referenced is the IAU’s International Astronomy Dictionary For Deaf Communities, which you can read about in this Smithsonian article. (It is not, as you might rightfully assume from the text of the image, a bunch of hearing astronomers “making new signs” willy-nilly for the Deaf community, rather a side-by-side listing of signs in various sign languages.)

People on tumblr will be like. “Hey wait a minute, this post links to a post on another blog.”

I’m honestly blown away at the amount of fucking polish this game has…
