Starfinder Mystic: I can access the Akashic Record. Party members: Ohh, like the metaphysical realm of knowledge so you can learn stuff. Mystic: Yes, but also the phyical place. I have a storage locker there. Do you have any spare armor or weapons you want me to stash there?
The manager of the Blockbuster I worked at in college got arrested for embezzlement.
I for one would have welcomed all martial classes getting maneuvers but then I loved the Book of Nine Swords released in the twilight of 3.5. Still I'm excited weapon-focused characters are getting some more options.
One more from @samanthanelson.bsky.social on D&D's new Weapon Mastery system, which is cool as hell. www.polygon.com/dnd-dungeons...
D&D’s new Player’s Handbook gives Fighters and Rangers more options without making them overcomplicated. How the latest Weapon Mastery features came to be.
This is one of the bleakest things I've ever read. “Tank the Turtle” is a kindergarten-friendly ballistic shield mascot that encourages children to use their “shells.”
Ballistic armor companies are marketing protective products designed for the military to parents and schools. Some people see the items as unsettling but prudent; others find them infuriating.
Some commenters are sad that orcs are now a core species in D&D because they want their players to be able to kill them without feeling bad. Boo hoo hoo. Poor murder hobos. I'm going to share a thread about the first D&D campaign I played in that heavily involved orcs, which started in 2005. 🧵
The new version of D&D’s Player’s Handbook swaps the concept of race for species. Plus, how Baldur’s Gate 3’s popularity helped bring aasimar into the PHB.

I'm really happy to have a new place I can go for cute animal photos, journalism and TTRPG talk. Here's to the next 10 million.
The Starfinder 2E playtest adventure Cosmic Birthday rules. Fantastic encounter design. My Mystic got into a hacking battle with an extremely annoying gremlin and I wound up killing it by turning on the heat vents it had been using to fry us. Also Mystic healing is the best I've seen since 4E.
I'm using Demiplane for my Starfinder 2E character sheet and it's an extremely slick tool but the fact that you need to pay them to access Pathfinder content I already have PDFs for is ridiculous. They just offer a discount on buying access to the material.
