@jonn I read an article on this last year (by @cfenollosa). This is so bad, I will collect stories on how the email system is being captured by big companies.

I have an extra ticket to #RustNation conference and the beginner workshop.
Maybe someone in #UK wants to go instead of @pola?
More strange Mastodon reporting. This time from @thurrott, who claims "I’ve been using Mastodon since December, but the interaction there is almost non-existent compared to Twitter."
Dude, you follow 22 people. Try following more people. The "non-existent" interaction is *up to you*.
I've found WAY MORE interactions and engagement here than I ever had on Twitter. Plus fewer death threats.

I forgot to do an #introduction post when I moved here, so here goes.
I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters long.
No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome and hope over darkness and edgy nihilism.

So @e_eric inspired me to run my #dungeon23 as part of his #meta23.
So today's #dungeon23 entry is a mash-up between a 2023 layout of Sedan and some really old map of the principate.
I think it evens out to 1939, right?
#Dungeon23 Jan 21st entry.
A very important "additional bonus" mechanic building upon the core "bonus to something" mechanic.
Supporting #dungeon23 Jan 19th entry!
Brawler and #flanking. Note how flanking doesn't give any bonuses out of the box, but if players want to play with it, here are the rules for them to enjoy. They can design abilities that rely or become better with flanking!
Also, bind and wind (which is a very principled medieval fencing move!) is the first rule in #IcyNSR that refers to a rule that's on another non-core card 🤫
Elijah McCoy was born in 1844 in Ontario to formerly-enslaved parents from Kentucky. They saved enough to send him to Scotland to study mechanical #engineering. When he returned and couldn't get work in his field, he took a job as a train oilman and invented a method of automatic lubrication that eliminated the frequent stops trains had to make to oil up axles & bearings. Railroad companies asking for his product rather than copycat devices spawned the phrase "the real McCoy." #BlackHistoryMonth
