One of my biggest childhood disappointments in gaming was learning that the Chocolate Island in Super Mario World was not actually made of chocolate ._.

Heads up, there's folks on Discord spreading malware via itch that will take over your Discord account. twitter.com/PeableFlip/status/

The payload and itch URL they use change occasionally but currently the "game" they're sending around is called Sway

On Eldritch Beasts and the "Witnessing this descends you into madness" trope 

I hadn't thought of this in words before, but it's definitely a resonant feeling and I'm seriously glad someone did.

Also racists like Lovecraft and xenophobes of all stripes can get fuuuuuuucked

A while back someone on the fediverse made a post about lovecraft and madness, and it made a comparison regarding an ant gaining human perspective and then going back to an ant perspective.

Does anyone have a link to the original post?

Thing about D&D is you *can't* play the game wrong, it's not a single game.

A bake-off between Queer tieflings is no less D&D than gritty treasure seekers exploring dungeons, not just b/c a rules set is thematically open ended; not just b/c TSR established that D&D was Gothic horror, urban planehopping, steampunked space, etc; but b/c players usually go directions other'n what the GM planned.

Considering that other rules are linked to their own worlds, this actually ensures D&D sticks around.

This quote seems very relevant in these era of misinformation and optional facts:

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." --George Bernard Shaw, 1903
