#RPG people: can you grok this with a fast skim?
(page is shown in 3 parts for ease of screen-reading)

The ISO 7010 hazard images are all public domain, and some of them need to be used in an RPG.

Also there's an actual hazard symbol for Google glasses!

@cwebber
If you go with Charmer's Extended Mind theory, we're already cyborgs, as we use tech to remember and calculate, even if the tech isn't inside the skull.

A group asked about an impromptu game.

Need to write a thing in the next ~5 hours for fantasy world of guild-contracted monster hunters.

Send me your ideas! I'm too hungover to make my own...

@silverwizard what's to understand? Turn thrice widershins and insert, like a door key, but reversed.

Real Linux users compile their YouTube thumbnails with LaTeX.

#TeXLaTeX

Pro-tuber tip: speed up thumbnail generation without getting lock-jaw by using a glug-jug.

A surprisingly young person asked me about being left-handed with...let's say 'a Victorian accent'.

"That's not a thing!" I thought. Or is it still a thing? I have feint memories of people trying to 'fix' me in school, but that was early 90's.

Is 'being left handed' still a thing people care about?

"Is there animal-based magic?"

> Yes, you can select it with one of these three classes.

"Okay, I'll take the first one with the animal-magic"

> No, no - the class decides when you select it!

...yea, it seems easier to just add the ability.

@silverwizard
Bandcamp won't let you, but one "Paweł Grzybek" has set this service up based on another. It's limited to 100,000 daily requests, so he requests people don't hammer it too much.

I guess that means you can't get notified the very second another album comes out, but I bet once per day wouldn't strain Paweł's limits too much.

@silverwizard
I can't solve the medium-level problem of bandcamp's mediation, and can't speak to the high-level problem of 'capitalism', but if you use an RSS reader, and if the RSS reader takes commands, you can pull in this url to generate an RSS feed for an arbitrary bandcamp band.

curl 'https://rss-bandcamp.deno.dev?artist=derinaharveyband'

@silverwizard that's the one! I only used it a couple of times, but I was impressed both times.

@silverwizard there's a CLI for bandcamp which downloads albums.

@icedquinn I got spiral spines for most books previously, and they work well for the modules as you can tear out the handouts easily.

One BIND module, composed with 3 leaves in a signature. Bound with floss and gaffa-tape (like most FLOSS projects).

@silverwizard I've not heard of Agents of ODD - where should I put it in the geneology?

For more open-source RPGs, feel free to fork BIND, or add some adventures: https://gitlab.com/bindrpg/aif

@rysiek @LydiaConwell

@silverwizard I made a little geneology:

@rysiek @LydiaConwell of course you know, this means DistroWars for RPGs.

...Pathfinder is proprietary. Try Knave, it comes with the source file!

Gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.

Humans who use these maps to hunt down the treasure are always disappointed, as they lift the treasure-chest's lid, and find it's full of maps. This is because, as covered earlier, gnomes use treasure maps as currency, as none of them want to walk long distances with bags of heavy coins.

@purple
OMG - you have encountered A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPIDER!

A friend did radio for the Kingdom like ten years ago. She was 'Albion Rose', I think? I joined her for a couple of episodes.
