DC HEROES was designed by the brilliant Greg Gorden and published by Mayfair Games. Its innovative mechanics scale seamlessly from Batman throwing punches to Superman throwing mountains, and for my money, they remain unequaled. Check it out!

I wrote a bunch of modules and sourcebooks for DCH--some of my first published RPG designs--working with folks like Alan Moore, Denny O'Neill, and Keith Giffen along the way. I also reworked and expanded DCH for its 2nd Edition in 1988.

I can finally announce that I've been working with DC and Cryptozoic to celebrate one of my favorite TTRPGs of all time by reprinting the legendary DC HEROES--all of it!--to celebrate the game's 40th Anniversary. kickstarter.com/projects/cze/d…

This was always, obviously the goal. A rogue billionaire is pushing lies that amount to hundreds of billions of dollars of contributions to Trump's campaign; to my knowledge, not a single Democrat has said a word about it, much less done anything to stop it.

New: Elon Musk’s misinformation megaphone has created a “huge problem” for election officials in key battleground states who told CNN they’re struggling to combat the wave of falsehoods coming from the tech billionaire & spreading wildly on his X platform. w/ @snlyngaas & @SaraMurray cnn.com/2024/10/31/pol…

Elon Musk is a mediocrity who gleefully creates and propagates conspiracy theories that undermine our democracy and put lives at risk for his own benefit. I’m leaving this platform and I encourage you all to do the same. Find me on bsky, threads, and elsewhere.

@BrynnTannehill People should view them the same way they view pundits handicapping NFL games. The NFL predictions aren’t useless—you want to be the favorite—but nobody believes they’re a definitive indicator of who is going to win. A lot of folks give polling averages more credence than that.

@BrynnTannehill Polls aren’t useless—they’re particularly good at identifying trends, and of course, it’s bad news if your candidate is polling behind—but they’re not as definitive as people think. /4
English
@BrynnTannehill Thats how Trump over-performed the polls in 2016/20. Pollsters are constantly tinkering with their models, but at bottom, they’re still just educated guesses. 2022 was the best polling year on record and the average poll was still off by 7 points. /3

At last night’s VNN debate on Superhuman affairs, Deep charmed the world with his dreamy blue eyes, emo eyeliner, searing intellect and thoughtful straight talk that everyone agreed is exactly who he is in real life!

@hugolowell @Acosta “Look, our candidate may very well assert that 2+2=5, or down is up, or Oompa-Loompas are casting illegal votes in Michigan. But challenging these assertions is “election interference.” We have to let the people decide.”

New — Trump campaign says they had initial discussions for Trump to sit down for an election interview with CBS 60 Minutes but they never reached an agreement, in part because CBS wanted to do “live fact checking”
English
@TheStevenCheung LOL. I’m pretty sure if Walter Mondale said in 1984 that Martians were illegally voting and Reagan invited them to earth to eat our pets, Mike Wallace would have called bullshit.

Fake News. 60 Minutes begged for an interview, even after they were caught lying about Hunter Biden’s laptop back in 2020. There were initial discussions, but nothing was ever scheduled or locked in.
They also insisted on doing live fact checking, which is unprecedented.
60 Minutes@60Minutes
A Programming Note: 60 Minutes is scheduled to air a primetime election special on a Monday edition of the broadcast on October 7 at 8 PM. For over half a century, 60 Minutes has invited the Democratic and Republican tickets to appear on our broadcast as Americans head to the polls. This year, both the Harris and Trump campaigns agreed to sit down with 60 Minutes. Vice President Harris will speak with correspondent Bill Whitaker. After initially accepting 60 Minutes’ request for an interview with Scott Pelley, former President Trump’s campaign has decided not to participate. Pelley will address this Monday evening. Our election special will broadcast the Harris interview on Monday as planned. Our original invitation to former President Donald Trump to be interviewed on 60 Minutes stands.

She is wishing you well in terms that are meaningful to her, underscoring her sincerity. She’s not proselytizing or trying to convert you, she’s showing you respect. Be a human and show her respect in return. (And BTW, “blessed” doesn’t prove she’s Christian.”)

33 years ago today, A Tribe Called Quest dropped Low End Theory.
A short thread of trivia to celebrate one of my favorite albums of all time.

@emptywheel Certainly possible, but I have to think that with all the entities grifting off Trump, if there was an unmet demand for signs, several somebodies would be filling it.

@HDTGM Please, please, please devote an episode to M. Night’s TRAP. This is the most bonkers movie I’ve ever seen, but I won’t believe I didn’t imagine it until I hear your take, confirming it’s real.
