- Reposted by Jesse RossIn celebration of the imminent Blades ‘68 campaign, I thought I’d talk a bit about its graphic design. BUT FIRST let’s compare and contrast with the graphic design of Blades in the Dark, a landmark in the history of RPG layout. Type nerdery ahoy 🧐

- Fully endorsed. I'd hope Simon would stay at Secretary of State, but he'd make a great governor.
- OK, here's my thought on this: @erinmayequade.bsky.social should run for governor. (Or Steve Simon, if she REALLY doesn't want to.)

- Reposted by Jesse RossExactly right. Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign. Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE. Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them. Every possible angle.

- I'm so proud of my state. I love you, Minnesota 💙
- Reposted by Jesse RossMinnesota is the best of us.
- Reposted by Jesse RossI’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters. I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

- Reposted by Jesse RossNational media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation. Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.
- Twin Cities game design and graphic design folks, check this out!
- Reposted by Jesse RossThere's a lot going on right now, from the federal occupation by ICE, to elections for public office up and down the ballot. But if you're the kind of person who also cares about the weird nerds who run for party office, I have an announcement - I'm running for CD5 DFL Chair.🧵

- Reposted by Jesse RossWere 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

- I ran several charity games this year, most notably @jesseross.com and @jaymeantrim.bsky.social 's game, R'lyehwatch, where we raised over $250 this year for charities through @startplaying.bsky.social charity initiatives with a returning group of lifeguards!
- Reposted by Jesse RossYour local librarian here to say that it’s great if you read lots of books this year, alright if you read barely anything, that audiobooks, romance and graphic novels are all valid formats and genres, and that some authors suck but we’re still not stopping you from reading them.
- Reposted by Jesse RossMy End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
- I just finished listening to @aavoigt.bsky.social’s massive overview of the indie TTRPG scene. Definitely worth checking out, and be sure to stick around until the very end for a sweet story by @megueyb.bsky.social and @lumpley.bsky.social. youtu.be/dm0dnjbQzD4
