Some Progressive Political Resources

The Action Network is online organizing tools, like those used by President Obama's team in 2008 and 2012 (it says so on their site).  The goal is to facilitate grass roots activism by making it easy for activists to find each other, to sponsor or host events, and to just get things done.

I'm a little less clear about the Working Families Party, but I have it on good authority that their main goal isn't so much to get their own candidates elected, as to help support and encourage Progressive candidates across the board.  Specifically, they're organizing to pressure President Trump* to help all Americans, and generally do good deeds.**

You Need HeroForge

HeroForge has amazing tools for creating custom figures for tabletop gaming.  Basically, you can build your own 1" figure for your D&D games... ...or Savage Rifts ... ...or, fuck it, just lose your damn mind and have fun... These screenshots were chosen to show off some of the tool features available in HeroForge "Cat Angel" there was created by a 7-year-old girl, who was just having fun one day playing around with her dad's account.  That's how easy and fun the interface is. And different potential - like D&D , or Rifts, or Supers (I got introduced to Mighty Protectors , which is multi-genre a toolkit game like GURPS   or Hero System ).

He's been using HeroForge for years, and backed a few of the KickStarters , so has free access to some of the advanced tools.  (He was showing me the tools, so I asked if I could grab some screenshots for my blog.)
