Ramblings of General Geekery

This is only a very unreliable rumour, but just for the record: the D20 OGL/SRD had a MASSIVE impact on the TTRPG industry in the early 2000s, and D&D getting rid of it would be a monumental mistake. Not that I care that much about D&D though.


All the people who are going to Mastodon will very soon realize that they haven’t replaced Twitter with it — they just have one more completely different social media account to monitor! Yay!


Caught up to The Handmaid’s Tale Season 4, and quite disappointed that they didn’t show more of the resistance networks and outcasts of Gilead… Instead they rush back to the same few characters. I haven’t seen season 5 yet but I suspect it keeps going downhill from there.
