JoCat is one of the good souls in the TTRPG space, and he has just been bullied off the internet as a joke.

These are wonderful folks/shows - but I like to think we stand alone on our own just fine.
So please stop comparing us to them - even in attempt to compliment.
Thank you! ♥️
It really says something that I can go get a vasectomy during my lunch break - meanwhile a woman's right of what she can do with her body is still at risk.
Give women the same liberties you've given me - let's practice what we preach - equality for all.
Do better, America.
Please take the time to read Masae’s post about Emile (Chuggaaconroy) - and how we both do not wish to discuss him - in any capacity. (some thoughts below) (1/5)
After the number of people who inquired about Chuggaaconroy over MAGfest, I feel I need to make this clear: I have not associated with Emile for years, nor are we friends. 🧵1/8
Keep D&D open.
Do not accept closed off contracts disguised as "open".
Do not accept Wizards owning your work, and doing with it as they please.
Do not accept Wizards claim to "de-authorize" an OGL that was engineered to exist in perpetuity.

Musicians/Artists who formerly worked on Verum.
I've seen your private messages requesting for work - and I feel for you. While I do not have anything immediate - continue to DM your info and I'll keep you in mind for future projects.
I've been getting questions about the displaced players from Arcadum's D&D games, and if I would bring them in to Io.
Any displaced player is welcome, but I will not be reaching out to ensure respect and comfort. If they are interested - reach out to myself or

Hello! Lots of new people in Io right now.
Would people be interested in campaign breakdown streams - where I go over all the campaigns up to this point?
Hey - I know some of your are still hungry for D&D Content after [redacted] shake ups from five months ago - and change is scary.
If Io isn't for you (and that's fine, it isn't for everyone) there are TONS of great DMs out there - and here are some of my favorites (a thread)
Over the past few weeks - people have been calling me "The Raccoon Man" - and "Mr. Raccoon Man". Honestly these are nice titles. I'm okay with these titles.
Just none of that "My Lord" bullshit. I'm just a dude running games for some buds.
I could just tweet my anger out at Arcadum for what he did, but instead, I will simply say this.
Arcadum is not D&D. Nobody has that claim.
Please do not let the actions of one very misguided individual sour this amazing hobby that brings us all together.
D&D - without a doubt - is one of the best things to happen in my life. The way it introduces and brings people together is amazing.
Seeing it used in this way - especially to amazing friends I MET THROUGH D&D - breaks my heart, and brings me to tears.
Even if I don't have immediate work - I can forward you on to other gamemasters who are currently looking for artists - so please respond here, or continue to send those DMs - and I will forward you on.
On a more positive note.
We were

That's huge. And also with great company

Went to the gym and to get my fitness assessment. When the trainer asked why I was doing this, I almost broke down crying. My weight has been the one thing I've felt I have had no control over - and now it's effecting my quality of life.
I'm taking control now.
The party is hunkering down for some well-deserved rest... But who is the crimson-robed figure awaiting in the forest?

Hi
@LilyPichu
- I know you've been trying to get into a d&d game with mixed results.
Wanted to give you an open invite to Io. We care a lot about player input and comfort so you can tell the story you want.
DMs are open if you're ever interested. Have a wonderful day!

Hey friends. No Mainframe of Atlas today, and I'll be taking off tomorrow to boycott Twitch in response to the Hate Raids happening on the platform.
The rest of this week may be spotty as well - if we even stream D&D at all. I think we all need a bit of a breather.
Keep D&D Open
#OpenDnD
I know it's exhausting saying and hearing the same thing - but until the release of the new OGL - we must remind Wizards/Hasbro that
#DnD
thrives when there is 3rd party content - and OGL 1.1 will kill that.
Some resources on how to help below. 🧵
Since
@MasaeAnela
is out of town, Mipha has decided to now hop on my shoulder so she can get scritches.
When can I stop? Because according to Mipha, its never.

❤️ to receive updates!!
To follow up : I will NOT be running immediate games for them, but I can at least start the conversation.
I have my campaign limits and will be respecting them for myself and the players in my current campaigns. A level of quality must always be met.
After a full week of D&D I'm feeling fulfilled - but also taking note of my faults and what I can do to improve upon them.
I won't settle or grow stagnant. I'll keep pushing and trying to provide quality entertainment to all involved.
Hey y'all
Even though it's my birthday, there will be no stream today - as part of the boycott against the Hate Raids on Twitch. Do Better.
I will be back tomorrow for a stream. More than likely - no D&D - so it'll just be a chill hangout time.
See you later, Space Cowboy.
Stating "do not use my voice in this way, I am not okay with it" is not a harassment campaign; It's a public service announcement.
And when it was taken down, trolls re-uploaded because they "didn't get what the big deal was".
Unacceptable.

has deleted her Twitter account after running a harassing campaign over a dumb but harmless Futaba AI cover video
I would have understand her and side with her if the original video was monetized but it wasn't
Hey guys,
You know we're...all different DMs with different D&D worlds right? Feels kind of silly to bring up references and elements from a different DM's game setting into mine or others - right?
Cool - just checkin' 👍

@VaatiVidya
- I had an idea for a D&D game in my homebrew world - I would love the three of you to be players for it.
This game wouldn't happen any time soon, but would love to talk to you about it now. 🙏
My DMs are open.

That is all I, personally, wish to discuss on the matter, and hoping we do not have to have this discussion again. I stand with my partner, and all that she has said. Thank you for reading. (5/5)
@ArexBold
You're a good egg, Arex. I hope you've found some relief through all of this. Thanks for being the kind soul that you are - there's not enough people like you in this world 👍
If you’ve brought up Emile to Masae or me during Magfest without knowing our feelings - you do not need to apologize. We were hoping to keep it private, but after everything that happened, we want it to be known we do not want him to be brought up to us anymore. (4/5)
Hi
@GloriousArcadum
I think it's finally time - been gathering the strength to ask you this question.
*deep breath in* *deep breath out*
*ahem*
If you ever find the time, can I DM you some time?
😨👉👈
Hey everyone!
Gotta push Session 0 back a week - emergency change of plans for one of the players.
Session 0 will air October 8th (Friday!) at 5pm EST!
I have seen Emile’s statements on the incidents Lady Emily has outlined. While I hope he follows through with what he says, I am not interested in being a part of that journey. As Masae has said, he has made apologies like this in the past, which has been hollow. (3/5)
Let me be clear.
I will continue to love D&D and 5th edition
I will not let the corporate
@Wizards_DnD
/
@Hasbro
ruin or change that.
This game has had such a positive impact.
Love the community, hate the corporate greed.

Hey all, cancelling today's session. Found out an old friend of mine passed away suddenly and I'm mentally shook. Need a day to decompress.
Sorry everyone.
I have had no association with him, nor do I ever want to be. If you've asked me about him being in a D&D game, he is the one person I can say with 100% certainty I would never want to have at my table. (2/5)
@DnDBeyond
If you want D&D to continue to be the juggernaut it currently is - you *have* to keep the OGL open.
Don't dismantle existing OGLs that were meant to be irrevocable.
Do not claim free reign of our work.
This will ultimately affect your bottom line in the worst way.
#OpenDnD
Also - this isn't a "He couldn't handle criticism" issue.
Unless you are an absolute sociopath - being harassed daily to the point of being doxxed over something that you designed to be a fun side project for the better part of a year - it would probably wear on you, too.
Was so tempted to stream to tell you what's being developed/planned for Io phase 3 - but I'll keep myself mentally healthy and maintain my day off.
Monday though - look forward to some sneak peeks!
This Monday, my new storefront will be opening up - starting with a series of D&D Class Merch featuring you're favorite Lil Racc! We'll first be starting with the Fighter! I'm SUPER excited for this! T-Shirt, Pin, and Print (with a Bundle Discount as well!)
Link down below!
Io Phase 3 is starting soon and I'm looking for players who are interested in long term D&D. @ a streamer you'd like to see in Io.
This will be a unique experience in d&d entertainment - an open sandbox world where the story is molded by the players and the paths they take.
Hi everybody.
I'm going to be going on streaming/social media break for the rest of the week due to some personal life stuff. I am fine and healthy. I just need a mental break for myself.
See you all soon.
But seriously~
2022 is about Io Phase 3 - to build a new D&D show that's unique, fun, and exciting - to work smarter without the sacrifice of quality - and to help repair, alongside my peers, the view of the TTRPG space that predecessors may have inflicted.
Let's get to work.
4 year ago today, I started an offline D&D game with friends to blow off some steam.
That transformed into the IO Campaign setting - and it's been nothing short of life changing.
To all of our players and viewers - thank you for everything.
Happy Anniversary, IO!

Hello
@matthewmercer
!
I know you got a lot on your plate, but if you ever want to put on the player shoes for a short game, may I offer you a seat at the Ioverse? Starting a new setting this year and would love to have you be a part of it in some way.
Sometimes I get sad because people don't like Io or my DMing style (and I get it - I can't please everyone)
But then I remember I DM for over 20 people, I have a passionate community who loves Io and everything we've created together. And then I just smile.
So thank you <3
As someone at the Wizards Summit in person, Wizards of the Coast has a lot of work they need to do before rebuilding community trust, because this summit was not it.
So excited for today's stream!!
Today at 2pm EST @/MasaeAnela and Myself will be on the Couple's Couch - with a full playthrough of Elden Ring!
Been waiting all week play this - it's going to be a great stream so be sure to stop by!
