My plans for @KamCon are coming into focus: I’ll be running Delta Green (Operation FULMINATE, plus two “demo games” of LAST THINGS LAST), and Call of Chtulhu (my own scenario The King’s Daughters). Also somehow I’ll be a guest on two panels, for some reason?
The “Worse On Purpose” guy wrote an article about reader memberships to finance the blog going on, and that includes a clarification about his use of genAI. Make of that what you will.
This week is the last game before everybody in my Friday group is back from summer holidays and we can resume our Pendragon campaign (Uther period!) I’m lazy, so we’ll probably just play through another one of the Dragonbane adventure sites we didn’t get to before.
“Countries Who’s Head Of State During WW2 Is Still Alive”: the story about Bulgaria’s Tsar Simeon II is quite something.
“Scientists Warn Carney’s Changes Will Bring ‘Wilful Extinction’”: Conservatives actively attack and defund environmental measures. Liberals just… ignore them, apparently, in favour of their industrial buddies. We’re well on our way to become the U.S. in a few years.
“The Last Museum” is surely going to be a very useful for anyone doing historical research for TTRPGs or whatever else requires historical research.
“Canadian wildfire misinformation is mutating online, thanks to AI slop”: you probably won’t learn anything you didn’t already suspected, but it’s always good to see a little bit of investigative journalism these days.
“Honest Government Ad: AI Data Centres”: Hahaha, “Banker Daddy and Oil Karen” is very on-point 😂
“Thousands sign petition calling for Pete Hoekstra’s removal from Canada”: this article’s got the link to the House Of Commons petition, in case you wanted to sign it.
The Silo TV series is really good, but instead of a mini-review I’ll just say that when we’ve watched a couple episodes and it’s 11PM and I tell my wife we should go to bed, she becomes feral, screams at me, and pounces on the remote to start a third episode.
